  1. It is very impressive. I think looking at that kind of rain is somehow exiting - at least if we don't have to go out at that time or soon after.
  2. I watched the hours of rain from my high rise condominium and I thought: Let's look how the streets look tomorrow. And the streets were just fine in the morning. Years ago it would have been flooded in the morning. And years before that it was a lot worse. At least in Sukhumvit, Bangkok it is no problem anymore.
  3. Do they have a "normal" website? I just googled them and I find them on facebook only. Their email address is [email protected] but when I try toolprothailand.com that doesn't work. Normally I don't use facebook and I would like to see a standard website.
  4. I am sure some make that money, and IMHO deserver that money, if they do the research and have the knowledge. I.e. some time ago I followed some drone building and flying enthusiast. Joshua Bardwell is a good example. He had very good knowledge about FPV drones and lots of people looked for this advice. And people bought what he suggested and he made money. Great. (He is still active but I didn't follow him for a long time so I have no knowledge about his current channel.) Other YouTube channels have things like: the best 10 vacuum cleaners. And then they show 10 marketing videos from those companies maybe with a little voiceover. IHMO those videos are useless and only exist to make money without bringing the user/customer any value. I hope they don't make money. Personally I think if you want to make money with affiliate marketing then think about what you are good at and what you really want to do. And if you do it well and better than others then people will follow you and will listen to your advice and they will buy things and you will get commissions.
  5. It was called Mermaid or similar to that. Next to Lollipop. From today's point of view it was funny that the girls actually dived for 10B coins. The aquarium was pretty big. It had enough space for a couple of girls at the same time.
  6. I think they look bored. Let's get them exited! ????
  7. I also like the music - at least some of it. ????
  8. And did they want to leave? Stickman had fun in the nightlife when he started with his website. Later he wrote a lot of rubbish and he obviously didn't like it anymore. Ok, no problem, enjoy your life somewhere else. According to rumors I am pretty sure StickBoy would liked to continue living in Thailand. The word "desperate" is an indicator that the OP has a problem somewhere. It seems he think others are here because they are desperate. Those people might exist. Personally I don't know anyone like that.
  9. For me Bangkok/Thailand is home. Sure, I could live somewhere else. But I feel comfortable here. I know everything important around me. I even know the taxi-no-meter drivers and we say hello to each other. Could I live somewhere else? Sure. Would I want to live somewhere else? No. For me doing the visa and work permit are not even 8h per year. I can certainly live with that.
  10. Do you or anybody else have an example for good quality plastic boxes in Thailand. I bought these as samples and on my first impression I like them. But I have limited experience with any of those boxes. FLUSH MOUNTED BOXE BTICINO 2"X4" 503 E YELLOW (homepro.co.th)
  11. I researched sound isolation over the last couple of month. Here are a few things which I learned: A lot depends on the frequencies. It is difficult to impossible to isolate against low frequency noise. In your case that means: You will be able to isolate that you don't hear them shouting at each other. But it will be very difficult to isolate against people jumping on the floor above you. Efficient isolation starts with closing all the holes and gaps. If there is a central shaft with water pipes in your building then sound will travel from the condominium above and below you through that shaft. So even if you would isolate your ceiling perfectly that might change little if the majority of the sound travels through that shaft. There are many interesting videos about sound isolation on YouTube. This is one of them.
  12. I compare his 50k with 10k for working class Thais. He has 5 times as much money and it should be no problem to live with that money. On the other hand if you buy 20 lady drinks in gogo-bars every night then you can spend over 100,000B per month just for those drinks. As usual, there is a middle ground somewhere. And as usual it is up to each individual if accommodation, food, drinks, or whatever are where we spent most of our money. If we want to save money we have to decide where we are willing to have less.
  13. I will read this one probably today. Amazon just told me it downloaded it on my Kindle. I read all Stephen Leather books (at least I think so) and I like them all. I am sure this will also be good. https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-War-Shepherd-Thriller-Thrillers-ebook/dp/B09LQGDJ23
  14. What do all those people admire and vote for? PT or Thaksin? Who is their possible (or maybe already confirmed) PM candidate? Some Shinawatra clone. No more questions your honor. And about Suthep: Is anybody admiring him? Or does anybody want's to vote for him? Suthep helped to get rid of Thaksin. Good. But apart from that few will miss him.
  15. But being in a party that is run by a criminal fugitive seems to be no problem for her. Amazing Thailand
  16. This guy makes lots of videos about "Thai" cars. I am pretty sure you will some inspiration from his videos. This is just one of them which I found first.
  17. It seems for some places they just look at prices but not the class of the establishment. I remember in Bangkok in Soi 7 they had some street style eatery with real high prices for that kind of "restaurant". I remarked about that. And they said something like: Look at the Landmark (5 star hotel across the road). They are more expensive. It seem they though if they offer in their street style eatery a little better prices than a 5 start hotel across the road that was good enough. Thai thinking?
  18. What price do you expect? I am sure many people, especially tourists, think 55B is very reasonable. I guess they are more interested to sell to tourists and make money compared to selling to locals who want everything cheap. It's a business...
  19. Thais and massage girls and even Thai massage girls are humans just like farangs. The want a roof over their head, sleep, eat, etc. So why should a farang have a problem with 50k if millions of Thai can live with 10k per month? That shouldn't be too difficult to understand.
  20. Just out of interest for my/our understanding: If they want to hire him why don't they send him a signed contract? A contract which is not signed is meaningless - at least legally and in my understanding.
  21. Maybe you should go out there and talk to Thais. Or just talk to one of you regular massage girls. Tell her you struggle with 50k per month. And maybe ask her how much she makes per month. Maybe one of those girls will suggest to move in with you. She will manage to live with that money for both of you and still save some of it.
  22. Pulling them over sharp edges can happen. And having cut the wire isolation while removing the outer cable isolation (sorry, I don't know the exact term) can happen.
  23. Good luck that this is only an online article and no trees were cut to print paper to print this.
  24. You have your answer already. What is the purpose of asking again and again? You don't have a job until you have a signed document. And even if you have a signed document that still doesn't mean you have a work permit. And it also doesn't mean you will get paid. If you want to make sure then make sure you get a signed contract.
