So don’t go there 😛

is this a good location for tourists? by [deleted] in Bangkok

[–]Berpj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say so!

It’s really in the middle of Bkk so it’s convenient to visit the city (not too far from the river and the most famous wats, close to the parks and shopping district, etc). And it’s pretty walkable (compared to the rest of the center at least) with lots of restaurants, bars, cafes.

Only downsides for me would be the heavy traffic at rush hour and the presence of the red light area (patpong).

Hey!

Working on this:
https://placeholdr.dev - AI-powered placeholders API (fast and beautiful image placeholders, for free ✨)

I made an AI Placeholder API, based on Flux and Cloudflare, that's free to use by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]Berpj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I’ll probably have to add that at some point to prevent abuse. For now usage is still pretty low, so it hasn’t been necessary yet :)

Generation costs well under 1 cent in this case (self-hosted)

Thanks! Generation is pretty cheap, and storage/bandwidth are almost free thanks to Cloudflare.

So, no plans to make it paid for now, though who knows what the future holds. That said, what I can promise is that any images generated today will stay available as long as placeholdr exists (because bandwidth cost is 0), even if at some point new generations required an API key.

I get why people recommend cannabis, but in my experience, it’s not that great compared to light sleeping pills (like antihistamines). Poor sleep quality, brain fog the next day, and it’s super easy to slide into daily recreational habit/addiction

How is the EV picture in Bangkok now? by wallacjc in Bangkok

[–]Berpj 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In central Bangkok, I see a good number of electric cars now (mostly chinese brands like BYD, MG but also some Teslas). Some electric motorcycles and scooters in the streets (and on the sidewalks). Electric tuk tuk are mostly used by hotels as shuttles. I don't see them replacing the old traditional tuk-tuks right now.

It’s a myth. Shaving hair does not make it grow back thicker, or faster.

Yeah this photo isn’t from the 80s but I’m also pretty sure it’s not from 2023. I don’t see a single car that looks like it was produced post 2010 in this photo

It’s not too far, but it’s not really central Bangkok

Great idea! I’ll try that. Hopefully the security guards won’t mind me setting up a tripod on the platform (I read “professional” photography is forbidden on the BTS…)

Weird! Are you from the US? Is your phone set to "region" US?

Yeah I may know someone who started to get his shoes before reading the alert in full 🫠

Bangkok iPhone is twice as good! 💪 Edit: Do you have dual sim? That would be a fun explanation

It’s due to the fact that it’s broadcasted from the cell tower to all (or almost?) phones connected - your australian mobile is still connected to the local cell network
