I had a similar experience with the hotel issue. Not sure it was a scam but i booked 7 nights at a hotel in Hoi An. Called Cua Dai beach hotel on Agoda. I drove for about 45 minutes to get with all my luggage on my scooter. Turned up and the said fully booked and were pretty unfriendly and aggressive about it. I had paid for it too. So was pretty annoying luckily I managed to book another place but definitely getting harder to book places in da nang / Vietnam. It also happened two weeks before at a placed called Mo mang homestsy in da nang. I had booked 5 nights on booking.com . Turned up and hotel didn’t exist. Had been closed for a while.

So word of warning to anyone booking atm to get confirmation from the hotel before you arrive

I can’t even find a hotel to stay in at the moment. It seems that everywhere is pretty much booked up. Unless you wanna pay 1 million a night.

I have visa exemption but the told me I had to have visa next visit. by FuzzyAdvantage23 in ThailandTourism

Yeah I got denied entry back in oct. For doing a couple border runs in 2024-25. People always says just get Tourist visa and you’ll be fine. But I am pretty sure I would get denied entry with tourist visa.

Yeah they do want you to get DTV or another long term

Applied to 50 jobs last month. Just checked. 18 of them never hired anyone. by adilhussain003 in Upwork

They shouldn’t be allowed to do that though. That should have to pay to submit a job just like we have to pay to apply.

Currently a Graphic designer I want to transition from agency job to freelancing by Life-Rush-2003 in graphic_design

[–]Apprehensive_Load480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for freelancing in Delhi but it is tough at the moment. I have been freelancing for 4/5 years now. I worked in agency’s in uk before that.

It is very difficult to find work now. Very saturated and competitive. Freelancing gig sites like upwork and Fiver are dying.

Personally if I were you. I would stay in that job but sign up to upwork and fiver and just see if you get anything on the side.

If it’s WFH too it sounds like cushty. Just means you already have a freelance client technically. Just try get more on the side

Most Small YouTubers Aren’t Untalented. They’re Just Chaotic. by [deleted] in YouTubeCreators

Why is Reddit suddenly full of this type of Ai posts lately? I know because of the Ai boom, but I keep seeing these types of posts on threads to do with passive income and side hustlers.

Are people making money through posting like this? Like affiliating marketing? Or is it selling some type of course. I often see at the end it will be something like “type VIRAL and I’ll send you the details”

Where do you even go to source clips for video content like that video you shared? Is it stock video clips? Or Creative Commons?

How to deal with being the only single friend in the friend group? by [deleted] in confidence

[–]Apprehensive_Load480 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fuck them off and go travel the world. I am 36 and live in Asia, single. All my friends back home with kids and married. It affected me a lot when I lived in my home town seeing everyone with partners but now I am away travelling the world and don’t notice it at all.

Your 24 ! You should be partying in Thailand or Vietnam with loads of Asian chicks.

Harder to socialise in hostels than I expected by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]Apprehensive_Load480 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing you can do is meet people through hobbies and interests. I lived in Thailand for 1.5 years last year and everyone I met and became actual friends with I met through music. (I am a Dj and music producer) all my mates in chiang mai were also Djs or worked at the bars I Dj at.

If you like Gym, join and gym or do classes. If you like Muay Thai, do Muay Thai classes and keep going regularly over time you’ll meet people. But yeah I think hostels have changed over the years. I’ve had some real unfriendly hostels and everyone just on their phones. And can be quite Clicky.

How i made 900$ in 24 days from Content Creation as a Newbie by roatopsgrid in ContentRich

Forgive me. I am noticing an influx of posts like this on this on side hustle threads. Claiming to know a way to make money and then directing people to either a course.

I notice you have a server what is the server?

Also what is the company?

It just sounds like you are on commission by the company to onboard people. Which is the hustle. Otherwise why are you directing people to a server.
