Not sure any new tools are needed.  For those that know how to research, and actually do, shouldn't have any issues.   More than enough resources already available.

 

Our main research source for going O&A (out & about) ...

... Google Maps (hotel & restaurants)

... cross referenced with booking.com for hotel

... cross referenced with wongnai, foursquare for restaurants

 

Usually just rely on Gmap & booking.com, as reviews are usually pretty dependable, especially those reviewers with 50+ reviews on Gmap.  Eliminates overly positive reviews from family & friends, or negatives from competitors.   Photos are important for both.

 

Can't think of any other sources.  Occasionally TAT for any events & festivals, info usually lacking.   If something interests, then there's probably a FB page with more info, hopefully.

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Then I am not sure what to make. 😅

Hey guys, I am planning to make a good travel online tool for everyone, and I need your help! What main issues you face when living in Thailand, and wish that these magical online tools just exist to help you with your life in Thailand. Please let me know and I really appreciate your thoughts 🙂 

Every beach I visit feels overcrowded with tourists—it's hard to find the peace and tranquility I’m looking for.

if anyone could suggest me a good visa agent or guide me on it 
I live in bangkok
Thanks

I usually enjoy exploring the night markets in Bangkok, which have such a great vibe. Or, I love going for a long drive towards Bang Saen Beach for relaxation.

Find out WHY the rats are using the car for shelter and feeding. In my experience, that's the only reason they use the car as they can't drive. If there's garbage or waste nearby or even an untidy yard, they will be hanging about.

 

As mentioned earlier, leave the hood/bonnet up. If it's till too dark (like in a shed where rats live?), rig up a light. The light also stops feral cats but, as mentioned, if there's a cat on the ranch, the rodents go away.

 

The peppermint spray works OK, so do naphthalene moth balls (available at Big C). Just leave them in the bag but poke some holes in the bag, so the fumes get out. Jam the bag(s) in a crevice, beside the battery, wedged in a wiring loom but away from anything hot and NOT near the motor.

 

The hardware stores also sell rodent deterrent in either aerosol or spray form. You can also buy them on lazada.

 

But finding the source of rats and upsetting their routine is cheaper. Maybe a simple bit of housekeeping will do the job.

 

 

Thanks a lot for your tips, appreciate it! I will go fight those rats now.

Monday you were enquiring which was better Bolt or Grab? Now you have a car?

"I'm trying to decide between using Bolt or Grab for getting around in Bangkok. Which one do you prefer and why? Any notable differences in service or pricing? For me, I prefer Bolt as it's much cheaper, compared to Grab."

 

Well, I decided to rent a car for some time.

I've got a bit of a rat problem in our car, and it's driving us nuts! We can't seem to find the little critters anywhere, but we keep discovering rat poop and a few chewed wires under the bonnet. So far, we've tried live traps, those flick-over kill traps, and even poison that looks like red candy, but no luck. Every day, there's fresh poop mocking us.

I'm seriously worried that if they chew the wrong wire, the whole car could go up in flames! Right now, I've got two of those mosquito coils (I think that's how you spell it) burning in there to try and smoke them out.

Anyone got any bright ideas? Help a fellow rat-battler out!

If you prefer BOLT then why are you asking?

I just want to everyone's opinion!

I'm trying to decide between using Bolt or Grab for getting around in Bangkok. Which one do you prefer and why? Any notable differences in service or pricing? For me, I prefer Bolt as it's much cheaper, compared to Grab.

I'm looking to invest money in Thailand and wondering what the best options are. Any advice on real estate, stocks, or other investment opportunities that have worked well for you?

I've been enjoying Thai food for a while now and I'm curious—what's the secret to its amazing flavor? Is it true that it's MSG?

That's too much money! I will try to find other places to visit.
