What Are Your Hobbies In Bangkok?

[lifeisrandom]

stuff you do outside of your house and the internet?

[Moonrakers]

There's an outside?

[teacup]

- Eating noodles

- Watching people

- Looking for ---the new weekend or new night market------I like going to the markets.....call me boring, that's OK!

- Searching for a good hole-in-the wall food venue

- Exploring the canal networks in the old Bangkok

- Spending time in bookstores

- experimenting with different things - whatever I happen to fancy that day

And

- Oh…Avoiding many farang hangout areas-----

Most of them just want a one night fling!

Or showing off type - I have this and I have that, blah blah blah!!!

Just to name a few

Most of them just want a one night fling!

Most yes, but not all TC, I prefer two or three night flings so I have time to contemplate what new hobbies I should pick up.

Anyway it’s noo waay impossible now - I broke the ladder the last time I tried to climb Up to your bedroom window!!

Haven't have it fix yet, they all want more than 20 bths - just to fix that dam_n ladder!!! ---how difficult could it be?

[lifeisrandom]

anyone have any fun hobbies? stuff beyond drinking coffee and reading books and eating noodles?

[Koo82]

Mine is strange. I like walking from one department store to the other, from one market to another. One is too overpriced so I don't buy. One is too cheap so I don't buy either

But I love shopping in Bangkok.

[Huey]

Hanging out with my friends on the weekends for some good wholesome Geek Activity like Roleplaying Games (Dungeons & Dragons and such)

Hanging out at Paragorn with wifey, doing a lil shopping, catching a movie, and enjoying a nice lunch at the Oriental cafe'

Going out to Minburi with Dad in law for a lil fishing

Playing MMORPGS (Warcraft and such..)

to name a few ...

[paul1970]

Sorry can not talk about these things on TV :rotflmao:

[bkkjames]

Not sure if it's a hobby or a habit but Fri night, beers with the boys, sat morning hangover with the wife, sat afternoon...nap, Saturday night football on tele, sunday out for lunch somewhere...

Speaking of which I need to go start my hobby now, have a nice weekend everyone.

In British English the term is 'pottering around'

With nothing better to do, I take the air-conditioned walk from the far end of Paragon though to MBK, with just a couple of blast furnace sprints between buildings.

I also wander off with some vague destination in mind but end up diverting along all sorts of back routes and strange markets. My main hobby on these trips is reassuring tuk-tuk drivers that I'm not lost (much) am not looking for Wat Po or whatever the nearest main attraction may be or indeed a 'sexy massage' (too ticklish ).

Has anyone seen a farang driving a boat (even a little dinghy). Does one need a licence/qualifications?

[TEFLMike]

I like 'pottering ' about, doing nothing special

[thesunset75]

Shopping, Central Chitlom, The Emporium, Central World.

Meet friends in Central World, hang out in the shop for few hours - Zsiska shop on 3rd floor Zone C(no i dont get ad here)

Online, chatting browsing

Play with Raul (my son)

Drink from 10 pm. - 2 am. at HRC Siam Soi 11. Or Q Bar, BSC hahaha

Spending and receiving money.

Here in NL ? ---

looking for hobby

[Heng]

1) eating: doesn't sound like a hobby, but you can go to 500+ restaurants here without ever repeating (many are worth repeating of course).

2) tennis, and working out at FF or Wow... to keep the calories from the aforementioned hobby in check.

3) taking lots of 2-3 day trips out of Bangkok...

[MMR]

Pretty tough to beat people watching in Bangkok.

[AlexLah]

Hobbies, hobbies,

I wake up at 8 usually and have a swim for an hour.

Take a nice hot shower.

Then I make a brekkie and enjoy the river view for about an hour.

Watch the stock market and see how my investments are doing.

Go for a nap.

Wake up and go for another swim.

Have a late lunch somewhere.

Back home read a book and see how my stocks are doing.

Time to eat again so I go out to some restaurant.

Watch some TV and check the news on Internet.

Time to sleep and do the same the next day.

I wish it was true, ha ha ha!

I would love to see the faces of the locals if they saw a farang pottering up the klong in an inflatable rubber dinghy with a small outboard on the back! Please if someone does this post a picture.

[Shotime]

All the good stuff is going on inside. Outside consists of going to the swim club, having lunch with the girls, maybe do a little shopping or go to the salon, and then home for dinner. If I go out at night (other than special events, not hobbies), it's mainly to go food shopping and sometimes buy a magazine.

To U English,

it may be = “POTTERING”!!

“pottering” = “HOBBY-ing”!!!!!!! in Thailand …JA….duh duh

And “eating” is the thai’s favorite past time activity

Any farang who wants to be in my circle……U got to love “eating BAMEE”!!

Seriously,

How many thais do have a hobby? Some do, but many don't....cuz most just can't really afford it,…… to “nurture” the curiosity of all things, that is.

People watching - I enjoy doing it!!!

You can tell a lot about the person - from “obsevation”

Of the way they….

Eat, or type of food they’re eating, how they eat,

Speak

Dress

Type of shoes

Color on them

Hair style

Etc.

Just me

[desertrat]

.....and, getting on any bus that comes along (except} the green ones, and staying on it until it reaches terminus, or does a full circle.

I use GPS and save the track with bus number...so EXCITING !!!!

Wasn't asked but thing I NEVER do is eat anything I have not prepared.

Not for shit.

Appearances can be deceiving, slight error in judgment can be costly. And never Judge a book by its cover.

Hobs in BKK: Well I like to jot down lyrics and sometimes try to express my own form time to time.

Every fort night I will go down to the school and help the instructors on teaching there student in teakwood cuz they pretty much suck.

Enjoy ice-skating and smacking the puck around at Big C ladprao when im not lazy.

But I am in to the normal stuff. Clubs, Cars, bikes, Chilling, Eating where ever ETC.

Soon when (star craft 2) is released you will not see me for a long time thou!! Muahah..

Learn to enjoy people watching from living in Honolulu, HI eversince.

On Friday, it's called "Aloha Day", that means everyone puts on their best muu-muu and aloha shirt, that goes with all the state employees too. Can you imagine, the workers in Hon. city hall, bus drivers....parade in bright colorful dresses and shirts, instead of dark dull business suits they wear to work 4 days a week.

My favorite spot was at Ala Moana Shopping Mall, particular during lunch time, the place reminded me those colorful Japanese Koi fishes, people swarm all over places, it's like a candy store for your eyes.
