Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yeah, so? Again, it does not have a negative connotation. It's all just in your head. I've been asking numerous Thais of all ages about that word and all of them, independently from each other, have said the same, even that 60 year old, extremely polite female teacher.... -
Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Ok, let me spell it out like to a three year old then: the word farang DOES NOT have a negative connotation, while the N-word noat definitely does. Comparing the two is just silly! -
Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No, he is not right! The first caucasians Thais came in contact with were the French. The Thai word for France is prathet farangse, which is were the word farang comes from and it literally just means white person. If that’s offending to you then you’re the problem. It’s that simple. Also, you can’t really complain about being called farang for full ten years when you could have just told them to use your name instead. Have you done that? -
All you have to do is cover the end where they cut them off the tree. You can use a plastic bag and a rubber band for that.

Report Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The initial dismissal of that case was ridiculous because they had video footage of him hitting her. -
Well, Germany eradicated the "backhander" option by rmaking it mandatory to keep record of who it was who inspectied the vehicle and by making them personally responsible for it's compliance with roadworthiness. So, if a car crashes that wasn't roadworthy and the inspector let it pass in exchange for an envelope, the inspector will go to prison.

I want to be a YouTuber !!! Ideas please
pacovl46 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If the plan is to get deported then by all means, make videos of cops in Thailand that portray them in a bad way! Also, if you don't know what you want to vlog about then how is this endeavor ever supposed to be successful?! Making it on youtube is pretty, tough, these days. The one thing a lot of people seem to like are pranks. You could do that with your better half, if you have one, or a buddy. My recommendation is, to find one thing you like yourself and just keep doing it and upload regularly. If you're lucky one of your videos goes viral and that could be the beginning of your channel taking off. But even then, it's most likely not gonna happen and if it does, it's most likely gonna take years and years before you can live off it. There's also a ton of rules you have to comply with in order to get monetized. If you live in Thailand there's so many things to film. And yeah, there's a lot of travel channels, but it could be Thailand through your eyes, the off-beaten path. Show them the places YOU like, places tourists normally don't get to see because they stick usually to the known attractions. Do your research on these places, mention the information in the vlog and pair that with nice videography and some relaxing music. You also have the option to just record your opinion on current affairs, if that's your thing. Have a discussion about Trump with a buddy that has an opposing opinion to yours. It wouldn't even have to be politics or exclusively politics, just whatever is going on in the world at the time. You could do that on top of travel vlogs ir literally anything else. The world is your oyster, man! Finally, if you want to upload once a week for example, be prepared for this to turn into a full time job because you'll have to edit the videos and that takes forever! Especially, if you choose longer format videos over short format. In regards to equipment, yes you can use your phone to record, a lot of people do, but if you want to film when it's dark also, you need a light, and you will definitely need a computer and lots of external hard drives, especially when you want to film in 4K. There's tons of videos on vlogging equipment on youtube. One more idea, just go and interview expats on what made them move here, what their lives are like here now and how they feel about living in Thailand, what the up-and downsides are. You could even develop a questionnaire and ask everyone the same questions, like Lipton did at the end of the Inside the Actors studio episodes, and don't be shy to put in some silly questions as well that will get funny responses . -

That remark is clearly pro Jews, but of course they cry foul any chance they get. No surprise there. Pffff! -
Pranksters been arrested farting
pacovl46 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
How was any of that surprising to you? That guy is famous for his outrageous and controversial pranks. That’s why YouTube demonetized his entire channel. I always liked his pranks, but he definitely went too far a few times and pulling stunts like this one in different countries can go really wrong. Johnny Somali comes to mind. Although that guy absolutely deserves what he has coming to him in South Korea because he’s an obnoxious c*nt! -
Hacker Targets Phuket Airport Sign with Political Message on Israel
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
They’re perfectly aware of that. You know what else they’re aware of, though? That you can say the exact same thing about Israel, but of course their blinded sheep can’t/don’t want to see that! -
Brutal Debt Collectors Apologise After Wrecking Shop in Rage
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I got it from the first season of the Australian crime show Underbelly, when Mark Moran asked his brother Jason what the f*cking point is of offing someone who owes you money, after Alphonse Gangitano killed a bloke. -

Thai Court Halts Nescafé Production and Imports Amidst Dispute

Love it! Hopefully they’ll never be allowed to sell in Thailand ever again because Nestle is one of the worst companies on the planet! -
Brutal Debt Collectors Apologise After Wrecking Shop in Rage
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
What’s the point of destroying someone’s place of business when they owe you money?! Doing that lowers your chances of getting your money back to essentially zero! -
Riiiiiiiight. The EU will lower their safety requirements for cars so the US can sell more of their sh*ty quality cars here, which very few people want anyway because they’re fricking gas guzzlers! That guy needs to go! ASAP!

Bangkok Building Collapse: China Defends Its Companies
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Of course they do! As always! Can't be seen losing face, now can they?! Didn't expect anything else. When the investigation then inevitably comes to the conclusion that they skimped out and it's their fault, they're gonna cry bias and defamity -
Ghost Tower Defies Odds: Bangkok's Abandoned Icon Survives Quake
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Well, after decades of being exposed to the climate, I don't think it could be rescued. Although, that tower on Bang Na Trat Road did get done up around 2016 and that one must be from roughly from the same period because it was already a "ruin" in 2003 when I moved to Thailand. -

Well, they wanted him and now they have to suffer. Canada should just cut off electricity and their oil pipeline.
