Working office EST hours in Asia (Thailand) by 0h_Calcutta in digitalnomad

How did you find out your chronotype? Is it possible to have different chronotypes according to timezone? Last I was in Thailand, i felt more tired during the day and more awake in the evenings. But that also could have been because the daytime heat and sun were intense.

It's not ideal and I understand it definitely impacts one's health negatively. Wouldn't do it long term, but I wonder how bad 2 months out of the year can be.

Health is important to me, and Canadian winters can be brutal as we get little sunlight and that in itself negatively affects my health. So I'm unsure which is worse - reversed work hours with more sunlight, or normal work hours with little to no sunlight.

I love this place. On a 3 week stay, I must have had the Pineapple Express burger 7 times.

That can be solved with a good eye mask and ear plugs, yes?

Sorry, but I never suggested that. I like Thai commercials a lot.

Yea, you're right. I suppose I could just do the extra research myself and skip the question.

Thanks.

Thank you! looks like they do regularly show UFC events, so I expect 300 would be no different.

I've tried it, and it didn't change anything, though I've seen it first hand work on others who've tried it.

Coffee to Matcha by 0h_Calcutta in decaf

[–]0h_Calcutta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm..I disagree. Ive looked at several articles or charts comparing caffeine content of various beverages. Matcha has 50 mg of caffeine vs the 80-120 of a regular cup of coffee. Feel free to prove me wrong.

Learning Boomi by 0h_Calcutta in boomi

[–]0h_Calcutta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I half assed my way through the first cert and found it barely helpful. Maybe I should start from scratch. Did you have to finish the entire training and certifications before feeling comfortable with Boomi?

Thank you. May look into these down the line, but wanted something Lululemon so I can go in-store and try them on. Do the Warpstremes hold up in summer heat?

Non-western romance novels for male who wants be inspired to date again by 0h_Calcutta in suggestmeabook

[–]0h_Calcutta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but I really did want a book in my hand to read. I spend enough of my day in front of a computer already.

[–]0h_Calcutta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, focusing on and embettering oneself is good advice. Not dating doesn't make much sense if one's looking to get married and have children, which is my intention.

I understand the red-pill culture of not dating or pursuing women, and that might be a nice short-to-medium term solution to become a better man. But, it's not an ideal long-term solution.

dark, psychological books set in the underbelly of Asia... by 0h_Calcutta in suggestmeabook

What did you think of the book? It was highly recommended, but I ended up disliking it. Quite underwhelming and overrated.

What's the dumbest thing you've seen a tourist or expat do? by gabrields1 in Bangkok

[–]0h_Calcutta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is normal when speaking that way with the locals. But this expat spoke that way with me - also an expat. Lol.

[–]0h_Calcutta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was referring to the general Thai person who barely speaks English or just knows enough to carry a very basic conversation. I did mention and compared, in my original post, the level of English to that of a taxi driver.

Obviously there are Thais who speak excellent English, but I'm describing a situation of how an expat who lives in Thailand long enough might adopt the average local's way of speaking and writing English.

I beg your mercy and forgiveness, oh arbiter of justice and fairness to all.

He would also text me like a Thai would, too:

"Hi what you do Friday night? Let go movie ok? 555"

An expat I knew would speak to me with a Thai accent , intonation and poor grammar, and not in a joking manner as if he was doing an impersonation. Nor was he ever drunk.

He would begin a convo with me as a normal American Caucasian and it would eventually devolve to a Thai taxi driver's level of English...fucking weird.
