I think the question is more like: Are professional contractors or builders willing to take on small projects like the build or renovation of just one condominium? If they can get the contract to work for a year in a hotel or two months in just one condo, it's not difficult to see why they are not interested in small projects. I was lucky that I know a woman who managed the renovation of a big 5-star hotel, and she convinced one contractor to do my renovation. It wasn't cheap. But all in all, he and his teams did mostly good work. I am not so sure if he would have done this without this connection. Probably not.

Again please?! I am interested but don't really understand this.

Personally there are some things which I can do at the same time. And then there are others where I like to concentrate fully on what I am doing. I.e. eating and reading a book together is fine. Programming and doing anything else at the same time, is not fine. In general women do multitasking much better than man. Many women can have conversations with multiple other women at the same time, listening and talking. Most men can't do that. There are many good examples in the book below. One of them is. A man drives in a car, and he gets lost. What is the first thing he will do? He switches off the radio!

For what? Performing in front of a YouTuber holding a camera and then being surprised that that is published? I am also no fan of many YouTubers. But I don't go and visit them and see them with their camera(s) and then to stupid things.

Because they don't know how it should be done. And their supervisor doesn't know or doesn't care. And then there is of course corruption. It seems to me the main reason is that most of these people have no idea how it should be done. If they would just spend an hour on YouTube they could learn a lot how to make it better. But they don't do that. They also have no pride in their work. IMHO that is the majority of people in Thailand in any job.

And for her? It's like getting likes on TikTok?

The technology from CCTV camera systems is definitely good enough to monitor hotels and other places. But obviously it also involves lots of humans who have to watch what is happening and making decisions. That is a tiring job, and nobody can watch 100 videos for hours without making mistakes. If the management wants to monitor what is going on and if they want to pay for that, then that is possible. The question is obvious: Is it worth paying lots of money for good security?

You won't believe it, but news from and about America are also available in the rest of the world. Obviously, people inside of America have first person experience with things. But we outside of the USA can still follow events and facts. Apart from immigration and inflation many Americans are also concerned about if they will get another 4 years with a lying maniac or if they will get a leader who acts presidential. I have hope that Trump is losing. He clearly didn't win this debate.

I want to buy a sturdy good quality sofa in Bangkok. Readymade is fine, custom made is also an option. If it costs more but is good value for money that is fine with me. I watched some YouTube videos how sofas are made. Below is one of those videos. I am no expert, but it seems this is one example of a sturdy built sofa which will probably last for many years. Where can I buy/order such a sofa in Bangkok or around Bangkok? I would love to be able to visit the manufacturing place to look myself at their (hopefully) quality work. I want fabric and not leather. I think that is much better in this climate. What are your thoughts and ideas? Did you buy a high-quality sofa in Bangkok?

I just finished watching it. Good news and good news. Many of us feared Kamala Harris would be weak on stage. She wasn't. Good. She is still a politician, and she avoided some questions, but all in all her presentation wasn't bad. Trump repeated his usual lies. And he added some more lies. He talked about he would end the war in Ukraine, but somehow, he didn't want to tell us how. He still believes he won the last election. He talked about Obamacare, and they asked him if after 9 years he has a better plan. Yes, he has a better plan, but not really, this is why he keeps Obamacare. My summary: She is ready to be president. Not perfect, but better than many of us feared. He is still spreading lies. His MAGA followers might believe those lies, but are undecided voters really so stupid? The question is, how will undecided voters react to this? I think it's all in her favor. Good.

Imagine you are one of those guys and think: WTF is that all about?

Great idea! I watched all James Bond movies. I guess I should go and see him and ask for money. Does anybody know his address? 😉

She wouldn't do that. She is different!

They should make a regular bar show out of that. At 9pm a couple of farangs get into a ring. They all fight each other. And the winner gets a woman for an hour or so. People pay to sit around the ring. And maybe broadcast it live online. Sound like fun. 😉

I understand that he has special wishes. But I would expect that when you check-in to a hotel you sign something like "I agree to this and that" including authorized people to enter the room. I wonder if the hotel could easily configure the system to block access to people who have normally access to all rooms. Or should they put a guard in front of his room?

This also seems to be normal in "the west" these days - at least for some people. Like, spending a couple of monthly salaries for a wedding is "normal". Sad.

I like it softer. But the wonderful thing is, we can all get it or prepare it just the way we want.

I go regularly to the breakfast of one of the best hotels in Bangkok where they prepare those scrambled eggs in front of me. No milk is added, and I really like their scrambled eggs. This time with salmon.

Basically No. But there is the family and neighbors, etc. She spends time where there are also males, but not just with one guy alone.

No.

Would the recognize value if they would see it?

That is not really too difficult. Butters, eggs, a pan, heat, a spatula, and a minute or two. Did I forget anything?

You mean instagrammers and similar?

That reminds me of one of my favorite movies...

What's wrong with this world?
