Where to find Mac computer help? (paid)

[RLAretired]

 
Where to find in Thailand, someone to help me with software on a MacBook Pro?  Paid, freelance, work.
 - English speaking.
 - Western thinking.
 - In person, in Bangkok.  (Don’t want advice on forums or “remote” working.)

Years ago Craig’s List Thailand was a possible source for finding a computer consultant, but these days seems a wasteland.  Putting a classified ad here on TV got no results for this request.  Computer shops are Thai staff with "local" ways of doing things.  I don’t know where else to look.

I read about “digital nomads” in Thailand.  That would be fine.  But how to contact them?   A “backpacker” passing through would be okay, too, if he knows the Mac very well.  A fellow expat who lives up country and visits Bangkok would be very good.  But how to find people like that?

None of this is programming or web development. (That could be handled by remote workers).  This is a variety of small projects to optimize computer use.  Here are examples of what I’m looking for:

•  Set up a Searx instance.
•  Change default search engine on browser.
•  Improve security on WiFi.
•  Move my "system" from old MacBook Pro to new Mac Mini.
•  Refine Keyboard Maestro macros.
•  Optimize backup procedures (using SuperDuper).
•  Spin up a Digital Ocean droplet for Unix
• ... and more

When you need Mac computer help in Thailand, where do you look?

Thank you.

I have a lot of experience with Unix but not really OSX. None of these tasks sound particularly arduous so I'd be happy to google my way through them if you don't get any better offers. A little background is that I've worked in IT for years and I will work for beer.

That's exactly what I thought.

 

Thank you, @grayhat.  Sending PM.

Got a work permit?

I am a Unix, Linux, Windows and OSX pro.  And all of those things I can do remotely.  I do not work for beer.  You could hire me, but you would have to hire the me that is working in the United States and the rest of the world, except for Thailand.  

 

One note, there is no Unix on Digital Ocean, but plenty of Linux.  

 

The beer guy was right, it is all easy stuff for someone who knows what they're doing, and has been doing it over 30 years.  I don't drink beer whilst working.
