Popular Post Sattar Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2018 Until recently, I did not have a hobby, there was no occupation to which I showed interest. This summer I started cycling and it became a very exciting experience for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can samui Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I get a new hobby every rainy season. Youtube makes learning something so easy.3 seasons ago I learned to make aluminum panniers for my Versys, last season I decided to learn to play electric guitar (badly) and this season I am learning to make electric guitars.Prior to this I ride motorbikes (dirt and street), bicycle, play pool, make models and on occasion a beer or three. Drinking is a hobby right?It is what you make it. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maybefitz Posted November 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2018 I have spent most of my working life in the catering industry, mainly in an executive or management position. However, early on I cooked under some first rate Chefs. Now, aged 80, I have gone back to my roots and thoroughly enjoy being creative in the kitchen. The Internet is great, I am constantly finding new dishes to try. I have a superb freezer, so I can cook and preserve a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doing that do you think now you should have spent more of your life doing that instead of working in the management? It seems lots of people get "promoted" from something they enjoy to "better" positions with lots of budgets and meetings but no fun anymore. Enjoy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post simon43 Posted November 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2018 Short-wave amateur (ham) radio. I have a Thai radio ham licence for about 15 years. Earlier this year, while working in Myanmar (Burma), I finally managed to get the first 'long-term' ham licence in that country since 1962 (they still don't like radio hams...) I recently returned back to Thailand and am currently struggling (physically) to install a 65 feet vertical antenna that will provide 24/7 short-wave internet email service across Asia, (useful after natural disasters etc). The previous service coverage (winlink.org) in this region was curtailed when I moved to Myanmar - I being the previous service provider ???? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irwinfc Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 i'm into radio controlled model planes and helicopters. at least, i used to. thanks to regulations currently in place, aeromodelling in Thailand is no longer as lively as it used to be. but i'm still hopeful the hobby will rise again to prominence. for now, i just spend time on RC simulators, some video games, and a few movies here and there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thpitsch Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It all started with the purchase of a 3D printer. Suddenly things were feasible that I could only dream of in my former life. Then I developed a machine that should be both 3D printing and CNC milling, maybe even more what you can do with an XYZ machine. Besides electronics development, control for my machines. SMD components used for the first time: problems during assembly and soldering. Now I am in the process of developing a machine for the (semi)automatic assembly of SMD components on printed circuit boards (pick and place). I am happy to also be able to obtain all the necessary parts while I live in Thailand. I really don't have time for "the other" hobbies anymore! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean women watching, my motorbike, my computer, downloading and watching old tv shows like LA Law, 7th Heaven, Knots Landing, my twice daily visits to the exercise park. Well I don't suppose that's a hobby, I just do it to keep fit and in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people still use that kind of communication? I understand it's good in case the internet won't work anymore (which I think is absolutely possible) but how about the rest of the time. Does not "everybody" use the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
