only in Bangkok I ordered a pillow at 2:30 am

@utpalnadiger “Bali-esque” is not a term I hear often. Definitely colder water but nowhere near the trash as Bali

the crazy part about living in sf is a bali-esque beach is a 17 minute drive away.

@lulumeservey many levels of wrong here

men used to go to war, now they need 3.5 inches of foam to go for a run

a note on grit

Why didn't I think of this

@BkkShadow This is the question I have, too. Sounds like “stan-chens”

On the BTS… “Do not lean against …what”?

@nknwn_eth it's fun, but the smell...

boatmaxxing in thailand 🇹🇭 did u know it’s faster to hop on a boat than to take a taxi? and it’s also way cheaper! a small boat trip costs around $0.4 while the same trip by taxi would cost $4.. also fun to jump on boats like that but be careful not to fall into the water

@naturalbeautyi7 I'm in Thailand but Vietnam is just as good in its own way

Vietnam or Thailand — same budget, same vibes, completely different energy. Which do you pick?

@martinrue I get those vibes here too and it's strangely comforting

I’m just casually living inside Blade Runner. So cool. 🇹🇭

@spaceagente Quiesiera, pero tendre dos nietos que van a hablar Portugues.

@Wordful เมื่อไร่จะเรียนภาษาไทยคุณน้อง :)

Parabéns para mim! I love learning Portuguese 🇧🇷🇵🇹

"Lahaina Noon," is a trippy phenomenon that happens twice a year in Hawaii, where all objects lose their shadows It begins in Hawaii TODAY, starting on the Big Island

@MarioNawfal Ban these immediately

Electric surfboards are about to make jet skis look ancient. Silent, fast, and way too fun.

@Brandonwords @eftegarie I assumed you saw my previous comment on the main post about The River.

@Wordful @eftegarie Yes. That would have been a much more normal way to reply. Maybe you're the annoying person in the common area, though?

Bangkok has so many condos, that even after you choose the area, there will still be 30+ options. It’s impossible to view and properly compare all of them, so you gotta make a choice on limited information. And you’ll never know for sure if it was the right choice until you’re fully settled in, and slowly see with your own eyes that there won’t be any negative surprises. Dumb people optimize for infinity pools and fancy amenities, while smarter people prefer something boring but sturdy; thick walls and windows insulating your room from noise, having lots of food and supermarkets nearby, good condo management that won’t allow unruly neighbors. Pro tip before making a choice: go to the condo’s juristic office and ask the management: “what are some common problems that residents in this building complain about?”. They’re usually happy to spill the beans.

@Brandonwords @eftegarie I should have mentioned that I live in one such building here in BKK

@Wordful @eftegarie I mean, anything is POSSIBLE.... lol

@R04ch but that housing allowance

28,780 per month in Buriram in 2026 and need a Master's degree+ 🫠

@Brandonwords @eftegarie I'm saying it's possible in Bangkok to have really good common areas that are beautiful, expansive, well-maintained, and void of obnoxious people...AND have a nice, solid room in the same complex.

@Wordful @eftegarie Can you elaborate? My lived experience says otherwise.

@J21Ken But isn't that part of the charm of SF?

I split a lot of time between San Francisco and Tokyo, and one thing has always bothered me: why does the capital of technology still look like so much of it got frozen in the 1930s? I love San Francisco. The ambition, the interesting conversations, the sheer talent density. But after living in Tokyo, it’s hard not to notice how much urban form shapes what a city makes possible.

@BangkokDi wow that's a little off

Why does Swensons need to note that I'm 'foreign' when I order and ice-cream? It's the first time I've noticed this.

@spaceagente I'm okay-ish but won't be running in Lumpini or Benchakitti for awhile 😬

@Wordful Shit man, you ok? There’s a reason the bangkok marathon starts at 2am

Take it from me, don't go running outside in Bangkok in April or May. You may likely end up in the hospital.
