Sounds like the USA...

We really need that sad face again. I wonder why many people here live in Thailand and complain about (all) Thai people. You decided to live, or at least spend some time, in Thailand, correct? Why do you do that? Only because of the temples and the beaches? Or maybe also because people can be hired for much less than back home. And lots of things are cheaper because labor cost is cheaper. And then you complain about all those poor people who want more money. Obviously living in Thailand doesn't mean you have to love everything. But if I would "discover" that I live in a country with greedy people who only want my money then I would move to some better place.

It seems they tried to integrate you already. You rejected it and complained here about their behavior. Don't complain if now you think they don't accept you.

Are you sure you didn't mix up the order of things? Imagine i.e. a Muslim from Indonesia coming to the UK. I am sure he could make a comment like "there really are serious cultural obstacles that hinder foreigners here on a daily basis" Would you agree with him?

IMHO you are a sad f$% if you don't have the compassion to help others from time to time. If I give someone in need 100B or 500B, I do it because I know it will make their life better and won't change my life at all. If I would be in a bad situation, for whatever reason, I would also be happy if someone would help me. It's sad that someone has to explain this to you.

Says the guy who just wrote: "Thai people around you will establish some kind of contact, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a financial gain from you." No more questions your honor.

Is that really how you see Thai people? Then you must be a sad creature who only looks for the negative side. Or maybe you only hang out in places with the wrong people. I.e. I am friendly with all Thai people in my office. And I earn more than they do. Nobody ever asked me for money or anything of value. I am also friendly with security guards and other service people in my building. I remember one security guard, who worked there for a few months, asked me for money. He just lost his job because the company decided they don't want any employees over age x. I never had a problem with him, and I am sure he wouldn't have asked me if he didn't really need money. I helped him, I can afford it. Otherwise, many guards and maids never asked me for money. But they are obviously happy if they receive tips from time to time. And why not? 100B is a significant amount of money for them and almost nothing for most of us. I/we don't have to give them any tips. But if we can afford it then why not?

Same same, but then again, I am able to see a girl when there is a (natural) girl.

Some of us are not retired. Sunday roast <> Sunday brunch

a) Churches are useless b) Coffee and coffee shops are important c) Nobody has Sunday brunch in a coffee shop. If you want Sunday brunch, then do it right.

Perfect. When I go out to have some fun I always like when girls don't ask all those stupid question: where do you come from, etc. Smile, move your body and look at me like you enjoy it and all is fine. ????

There is a reason why there is not a single word for no. Mai chai - Not yes

I wouldn't bet what Thai owners expect. I saw too many Thai bicycles, office furniture and computer with pieces of plastic on them which should have been removed before the first use. But many Thais keep it for years. I remember a hospital, in which furniture should be regularly sterilized, with old pieces of plastic from the packaging hanging around... Personally, I would remove the plastic. But that doesn't mean that a Thai owner expect and/or accepts that.

Thanks. The way you use this thing for you is obviously fine. But I would never ever warm up coffee. Just the idea sounds terrible to me. I don't do the big pot and warm up thing. I or my gf do it fresh, or we go out and eat. We have different lifestyles. It seems a microwave is perfect for you.

You could just read the manual. And I am sure there are YouTube videos about how to do that.

Which part?

Some, maybe all, SSD and M.2 manufacturer offer such software on their websites. I.e. here: Samsung Magician & SSD Tools & Software Update | Samsung Semiconductor Global

BIOS = Basic Input Output System That is one of the first things what is working on a computer - way before any operation system starts. If you use Windows, then just use Windows. Why would you care about the BIOS if your Windows works?

Considering this is a Thai forum: Thailand will win. Sure! 1000%!

What is your position in that company? Are you on the same hierarchy level as the Thai people who you talk about? Are there other foreigners/farangs? Is it a small or a big company? And if you don't need the job, why do you do it? To have company? To learn about Thailand and Thai culture? To make money? It seems they try to include you. I would see that as a welcoming sign.

Turn down the brightness. And, on some devices, you can use some kind of night mode which make the background light warmer - easier to watch at night.

That reminds me of my friend from school time who decided to create nitroglycerin - in a 6-family house. He actually did it and nothing went wrong.

But then, why did he buy Twitter? Just because he can? There must be other toys out there which don't create so much headache.

No. We have a good rice cooker which keeps rice in good quality even after 24 hours. When my gf makes some Thai dishes, she just reheats them on the hobs (currently electric). Maybe 5min, done. I don't intend to ever reheat pizza or 7/11 food or anything like that.
