does anyone have insight on why a Thai national that lives for example in the UK would want an account on thaifriendly or thaicupid?

just an hour ago a 39 year old Thai lady living in England sent me interest without looking at my profile.

I was curious why she would have an account and asked and she replied "I'm Thai!" but that is rubbish as you don't see me on Canadian dating websites.. that would be dumb

most men or women on there either live here already or have plans to visit in the future and looking for someone.

of course I understand there are also the losers who have no means to come here and just want to waste someone elses time

am I missing something or what is the purpose of Thai national living abroad to be on there?

I don't see them traveling from England to Thailand just to meet a Thai man or an expat (or even a tourist).

and yes i understand that they can search for men in England but that would be the same as me making an account on "canadianfriendly" and looking for women from Thailand.

personally never been into this kind of women.. I met one or two here in the years I have been here and they were so damn boring for me..

it was all about makeup, creams (mostly whitening), SPF 100 sunblock, shoes, purses, iphones and their super huge egos (proportionate to their perceived attractiveness I guess)

I couldn't afford them to be honest but this is not just sour grapes, I am not attracted to women like that at all but apparently most other men are, so good for them ?

last 24h I had 5 women send me interest, 0/5 looked at my profile and 5/5 overweight.

i love it. /s

they should use minimum charges and prices going up with repeated offenses up to seizure of vehicle (and license) and then sell those vehicles at auctions

no license? 250-500-750-1000 each time going up and paid at the police station so its recorded.

when i lived up North near where I lived there was some police stop near a little booth but everyone knew how to avoid it and it was announced on a Facebook group with 8000 members if they were ever out.

The best looker I have seen all week was on the 9 THB bus ride near Bang Pho, today, if by chance the NEP ladyboy circus gang has ever heard of it.  Could have been a super model.....just a tad young for me....certainly lawful, though...but contemplating printing some cards that say..me Tarzan; you Jane.....call me 09xxxxxxxx, and handing them out to girls like that.....

I have had this idea for a while, print your Line QR code on there

I went to the police station once because needed to report within 24 hours, they didn't help me but took me upstairs where there were like 6-7 university aged women (all attractive) and the old lady asked me if I was single to which I replied yes and she said I could choose whichever one i wanted

I didn't choose one.. because last time this happened (it happened more than once) I chose one and then the other 4 were angry at me.

I went out wishing I would have had a card with my line ID or number to drop so they could fight (or all add me)

I used date in Asia site before and started seeing a woman who was attractive but not near supermodel material and she was getting hundreds of msgs a day on her laptop

 

Men were offering to take her on holidays and loads of other expensive dates and gifts etc 

 

She used to delete the msgs a whole page 50 at a time

 

Imagine how many the girls who are 9.5/10 get 

 

well there you go, exactly. ruined ego, and that is not the only place they will get hit up on.

IE: you piss off your gf that is even remotely attractive if s he goes write some angry post on Facebook (or twitter or instagram) she will have 15 "nice guys" that will want to console her.

that is the problem nowadays too much easy access to "replacement"

back home my sister signed up my dad and made an account for herself same time on some dating website, she might be a 7 (just for being petite) and got 460 messages in less than a week.

she didn't read none of them but I did. was mostly trash except maybe 5-6 dudes which I then showed to and she laughed and said no.

the last 6 women in a row that sent interest to me on thaicupid were all overweight

I mean if i was getting hundreds of messages a day from women I know for a fact it would get to my head and not in a good way

here is my take on it as a tall, fit, 35 years old man

I have been on Thaifriendly but my experiences are more on Thaicupid.

I met plenty of women on Thaicupid but my profile clearly states I am not going to be their ATM (not on those terms)

I live by the beach so most of the women from a bit further away (Bangkok etc) will come here as a "vacation" and most of them (if not all) initiated sex on first night.

I have not a single time paid for sex directly, if they come from Bangkok I would give them about half the minivan/motorbike money and pay for some of their food (no fancy restaurants)

I have had some women that indirectly or even directly asked me to take them to the most expensive restaurants around (we don't have many here) and I practically told them that I do would not even go there for myself and to forget it.. those 2 women (in 5 years) instantly stopped messaging.

I have met some girl from Hua Hin that VERY clearly was looking to get knocked up by a farang (asked me if i would use a condom with her and she freaked out when i said yes).. one year later i saw her on social media and she had a kid lol (wasn't mine)

I have met some girl from Bangkok who invited me over and then when i was there if I touched her even a little bit she would shout "don't touch me!!" and smoke cigarettes and drink too much.. same girl came to see me did practically the same -- then she messaged me on Line asked me why I didn't have sex with her.. when I explained to her that she told me to not touch her she said she had come for sex.. -- mindblowing isn't it.

most of the others that came here, I treated them like I would treat a girlfriend (the boyfriend experience? haha) and i would say 90% of them still talk to me years later.. even some girl that came to visit 5 years ago that spoke absolutely no English (and I spoke no Thai), if I was to message her to come over she would come without hesitation.

I do not let them come here if I am not attracted to them so I have no problems cuddling and holding them at night and quite often hear that it's the first time someone ever did that to them.

the main issue here is that women get hundreds of messages on all kinds of social media, my friend that I met 2-3 months ago asked me to delete her profile on Thaicupid because she didn't know how.. as soon as I logged in on there she had a popup asking her if she wanted to message 21 guy at the same time (yes, TWENTY ONE) ... and every 5 seconds there was a popup in the bottom left corner of the screen showing the new signups. she had a free account.

I had a paid gold account.. trust me men do NOT get that kind of trash and I wouldn't want to have access to this rubbish either.

she had 350 messages in her inbox after about a week on there and she might have been a 5 or 6..

now does she REALLY need to be able to send messages to 21 men at the same time or be notified of all the new accounts almost instantly?

I think this is made so girls would click on the male profiles and then the men think "oh my god, all those girls looking at my profile!" and also the 21 men might be all new accounts that can't read the incoming messages until they pay

certainly look like that.. but I don't like the fact that I have to be one out of 2000 men this month that sends her interest..

it's like the hunger games x20. I gave up on meeting real genuine girls on there, this kind of constant stream of (mostly) idiots ruins their ego forever.

How legit are those keys really.. because i don't understand then why its so expensive from Microsoft.

since no one answered this particular question, I will

most of those keys come from something that used to be called Microsoft Dreamspark, it's now called Microsoft Imagine

anyways, the short version of it is it's some kind of program for school/universities to give them practically unlimited genuine keys to Microsoft software for testing and whatnot

of course that was abused and they take those free keys and sell them for a few dollars.. I used to buy a few of the windows 8.0 pro keys for like 250 baht and upgrade them to Windows 10 Pro when it was still free.

they have keys for other MS software as well including Visio, Project, Visual Studio, Office 365, Windows Server.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Imagine#Free_products_also_downloadable_from_Imagine

I think they expire a short while after being generated, I didn't use 2-3 keys for a few weeks and when I tried them they got declined.. but the seller replaced them pronto.

this if about uPlay, the digital game distributor for Ubisoft (and some others) games

stuff like The Sims, assassins creed and whatnot are locked on there

https://store.ubi.com/sea/home?lang=en_SG

you can look if you have some of those games, even on Steam they are linked on uPlay

anyways, nothing to worry about if you know nothing about the account, lol.

It's quite shocking to see how badly wild and often endangered animals are treated in captivity in a country were you could be sent down for kicking a soi dog.

it is shocking. I went to Ao Manao about two months ago and they had some deer looking animals  (don't think they are deer) that seemed to have mange and also an ostrich which might have 20% of the feathers left in the same enclosure (probably got mange too)

and they got soldiers sitting in a small shed selling those pellets to feed them which are likely to be the crappiest food you can give them (herbivores)

they are in bad shape.

I was thinking why don't they all join grab/uber but looking at it they won't be able to rip anyone off and would soon break all the rules of these companies and be booted out.

because Grab would rip us off instead of them, they can't have that!

Bang Kapi to Mochit Terminal (40m or so drive), friend suggests I use Grab, the car fare was 255 and the motorbike I think 160 or so.

I had a laugh, went out and took the first cab I saw (30 seconds) and made it to Mochit for 165 baht

If I had taken Grab I would have had to wait for the closest Grab which from the app seemed to be 5+ minutes away

and pay 90 baht more for what? it's not like its faster or more convenient

I would like to know what was the difference in what Kasikorn not meet the agreements? 

I got an account with Kasikorn about two weeks ago, was told to bring my elite card, my passport and the answer to a few questions (what kind of account etc)

however when i showed up there they did all the paperwork and asked me for 20,000 baht first deposit which I did not have on me and they wouldn't budge about it. i had to walk back home and borrow money from a friend in a pinch but then told Thai Elite about this, who knows maybe that is the reason why they don't meet their agreement

quite useless the first deposit to be honest since i just transferred it back out to my friend the very next day but still, annoying red tape is annoying.

no worries, I went to Bangkok and ended up at Pantip Plaza Bang Kapi.. found a repairshop (could see broken TVs and whatnot everywhere)

buddy took it, job was done within 2 minutes and I paid 100 baht.

2x 10 seconds heatgun, used tweezers to pick it up, swap the chips and gave it back to me, then I left.. just came back an hour ago and it worked!

problem sorted!

Hello,

at HUA HIN, try INVADEL Co LTD, at 60/22, see on the map.
Also ask vendors in malls. There may be one who knows a repairman.
At CHA-AM, there is the Cha-Am IT, near the building of the electricity, angle of self ray pli1 or soi fai fai.

I don't need an IT reselller shop I need board level soldering

InvadeIT (not INVADEL) is a reseller, they don't tech repairs only sell hardware and build computers (I been there many times)

Cha-am IT, same deal, I highly doubt they have the gear to do micro soldering.. they just sell stuff and replace parts in PCs or install software (been there before too)

https://www.amorngroup.com/amorn-service-center

this is technically what I am looking for but they declined the repair (probably thought I wanted to "repair" the hard drive).. I didn't have the boards with me but as soon as he saw the hard drive picture he said "mai dai", wasn't about to try to argue with him since I didn't have what i needed worked on on me either way

i never soldered before but i'm sure even i could do it in 5 minutes given the proper tools, just not worth the price of getting a proper microscope, solder and soldering stations for this little job

I am looking to find an electronic repair shop that does board level soldering, I need a chip swapped a motherboard (I have it)

when I was in Bangkok at Amorn they told me they can not do it but..

I have a feeling he did not understand what I wanted him to do (remove a chip from one board and solder it to the other)

it's very simple and quick work but I don't have the soldering station or the skills to do it.

Chokdee is okay but I felt the price was a bit high, I might be mistaken but 1000 baht per month

it's just an outside gym with a few machines and weights and little bit out of the way to get there too

for about the same price back home you'd get access to a massive indoor gym with a pool

there is a free proper fitness gym in Mueang Phetchaburi with a track but that is about 35+ minutes drive. I used to go there when I lived there.

I have done much further rides than this. I drove from Phetchaburi to Pai (and back 3 weeks later) with very little stops (food, gas, a little nap under the sala)

it's not that dangerous, just wear a helmet and take your time.. you will likely feel like falling asleep after 10+ hours.. if that happens just stop for a while at some 7eleven/gas station, that sorted me out.

also did a tour of issan before heading to chiang rai and drove straight from chiang rai back to Phetchaburi after

the worst is the bottom is going to be hurt and you won't get to SEE many things.. unless you want to stop everywhere or make detours..

it sounds like an adventure but it's just driving on the side of highways at like 80 km/h (Fino?) it's just roads and roads and roads.

even on my Honda Wave when I was getting close I was wringing the throttle and going over 100 just to get it over with

it reminds me of that time that I told one of the local guy i know that I was going to Kanchanaburi / Myanmar border to get my visa run,

he asked me "where will you sleep?".. I said "sleep? I will be back the same day!" to which he replied "IMPOSSIBLE!"

the next day, I was on the beach at about 1 PM when he came and asked me why I didn't go to Myanmar and I told him "I already went this morning". I had left around 4am, was done with it at 9, back on the beach at 12:30pm.

Girls just say to you : "You are a nice guy , I would like to have your children , I dont want any financial support , dont want to get married or any long term relationship , just get me pregnant and be on your way and never see me again" 

    You must be a very hansom, charming guy .

I've had that told to me numerous times in the 5 years I've been here.  I'd say about a dozen times so far.

also got quite a few women that looked very sad when I told them I got the snip.

Met a particular one that was quite forward about it too, I didn't give her one obviously (snipped, lol) but I looked her up about 12 months later she had a mixed child so she got what she wanted.

I am 35, tall and athletic body type, maybe that has something to do with it?

Space is not a problem. The rower is quickly separated into 2 pieces that can be stored upright in a very small space.  

 

Note: if you do go ahead with a purchase from Aviron and you have a US dollar account, send US dollars by bank wire. It will save you on the MYR price which is processed through PayPal. That saved me about $100. I have free bank wires, so the savings will depend on your transfer costs.

yeah i know about the space, I owned two Models Ds before, one before I moved here and one that I ordered after with Amazon and meant to bring here but they literally shipped it in two plastic bags so I returned it

do you recall how much the taxes were on the SkiErg?

I'm just trying to guess how much it would be for the C2.. also can't wait until they get the BikeErg!.. I'm tempted to send one here myself manually ;\

cool, checked their website which seems to be a rip off from Rogue Fitness website, haha

the price is semi fair I guess (59k) but I think it's obtainable around the 45-50k range either directly with C2 (they would ship here) or with Aviron Racing

I will look into it within two months, i don't really have the space to put it right now so would have to move to a place with 2 bedrooms (not as much as an headache as it sounds)

thanks, I really need to get back in shape, have an extra 2-3kg to lose, 555

I've been wanting to get a C2 Rower for a while (had one back home)

Seara in Bangkok sells them but they overprice the hell out of them (can't remember how much but I was thinking 75k)

Aviron Racing (in Penang, Malaysia) are (or were) selling them with door to door shipping for 1055 USD but ... apparently TNT  would need to send someone to pickup my passport for a "few days" while they create an electronic importers account.

I have found that to be quite strange I asked my partner at the time if she'd let TNT get her Thai ID (and was hoping to not get the farang price) but she said hell no..  also I am quite wary of them being able to charge whatever they want for this document and then for taxes instead of the correct amounts (something UPS likes to do to Canadians) and then if I refuse they either keep the package or return it and who knows if i'd get a refund

if anyone has any idea about where to get one (Model D, black) (in the 50k range without all the faffing..) i'm listening.
