Is anyone here into unusual hobbies....eg watching trains? bird watching? taking pics of unusual things?

I'm a shortwave radio 'ham', a hobby that seems out of place in the modern world of email, internet and mobile phones.  For me, it's an interesting technical hobby.  I was the only radio ham when I lived in Myanmar and I'm the only ham in Laos.  (Thailand has many radio hams).

 

Having been interested in radio since a small boy, I still find it amazing that my few watts of radio signal can travel from a few feet of antenna wire strung above my house, and through the ether to the other side of the world (and back again).  While waiting to start one of my online science lessons that I teach from home, yesterday I contacted a radio ham in Uruguay, about 17,000 Km away...  I still marvel how that is possible ????

Certainly.

 

hobby ~ An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.

 

Provided it's 'primarily for pleasure' and not a 'regular occupation'

 

Personally I would include drink, good food and vigorous sex (not necessarily in that order) amongst my hobbies.

[OneMoreFarang]

Electronics, Arduino, ESP32, etc.

Recently playing Anno 1800 on my PC.

Some time ago I build two racing drones - and since then I didn't do much with them. ????

Programming. I do that also as a job but I also do it from time to time just for fun.

Is Thai girls a hobby? 555

[cornishcarlos]

Underwater metal detecting. Mainly waterfalls and swimming holes but did a lot of hunting on beaches in Oz whilst working there.. 

Got into it after losing my wedding ring whilst kayaking on a river near Phatalung..

Still not recovered my wedding ring, even after a couple visits back to the same place.

Have found quite a few other rings and lots more besides ????????

Oh dear, deepest apologies, it seems one of our nearest and dearest has finally, in his own vernacular, "blown a fuse" !!

 

He has breached the fundamental oath and divulged too much to the forum.

He must now be "re-assimilated" into the collective, resistance in futile !

I built myself a little workshop stocked with all manner of power tools and enjoy "playing" with wood and building/fixing things etc

I also enjoy building and designing websites.

If your regular caddie is cute you could get the best of both worlds

[AtlasAus]

I have a couple of related hobbies, motorcycle exploring and photography.

 

This virus has me chanting at the bit to hit the road again, something I took for granted before.

Either way you end up with a shaft in your hand and a dark hole to penetrate whilst playing with your balls.

 

I can see how the two get confused, same same but different....5555

18 holes takes about 4 hours, more if you are behind any golf group of Asian ethnicity. Sex varies with individual stamina, but I doubt it takes 4 hours.

Who would have thought I would have a couple of depraved mods posting puns and double entendres? Success at last.

Gardening is a hobby of mine,we have 5 rai to deal with and it is an ongoing concern.

This year i imported some special colored pigeons and now am trying to create new colors.

We also have a bunch of other animals to take care off,canaries,budgies,doves,chinese quail,chickens,

dogs ducks and cockatiels.

Never a boring day but i must say the last couple of years the summer heat is starting to slow me down.

I am sure other people will come along with much more interesting tales.

My hobby has been analyzing and

understanding wimmins, for 30 years.

So far, little progress has been made.
