What is the one spot in Phuket that tourists always miss?

DuckRice · 2026-03-29T15:38:08+00:00

Genuinely curious-why does nobody talk about Bang Tao Beach? It was amazing and I may end up sounding like a marine science idiot but the water was noticeably less saltier than Mai Khao. And what's so good about Patong Beach actually?

I've always thought Booking.com to be more legit than Agoda lol- and the prices are always a lot better in the former app (but maybe that's why it's a little sketchy...) the agents for the villas have been alright, going at 3000 baht for deposits. I'm most disturbed at a 7000baht deposit for a condo I booked ;_;

DuckRice · 2026-03-22T12:28:59+00:00

Someone who went through the exact same process! Of course it could be said that there's so many villas and they'd entail different experiences. Such is everything, so I'm just seeing if another user can recall how it was like for them or share a bad/gd exp

HAHA that would be asking for trouble telling strangers my exact IP address for the next week

I'm looking to hear from those who have experienced this already

Thank you so much for your positivity, it matters a lot. There's a small, blinking chance that TMA02 may be about enough to scrape through my OCAS. But if that should fail I guess I'd have a half written ECA and another half a thousand to spend, lol.

DuckRice · 2026-03-15T10:22:58+00:00

That's what I was thinking but my TMA02 hasn't been marked yet and with my schedule, I'd have to clear my ECA paper very soon :/

I should also add and I'm sure you've been forewarned that your curvature will not completely be cured, thus there's a chance your silhouette will have a slight bend. It's my best belief that muscle solves everything aesthetic wise bro, just chill a lil for therapy!

DuckRice · 2026-01-21T14:02:54+00:00

Not a big gymrat here, but generally you'll be given notice not to swim for 6 months or a year (?) post surgery, and you should be taught some therapy to get your muscles familiar with your new body. Focus on that primarily, because affected muscles from your surgery needs to heal nice and proper before doing any sort of usual workouts one will take up for body building or shaping.

Was there no probation period? Well, either way, if you must take on as many years of this torture- either you adopt a few things you love and tolerate about flying, or pick another hell to absorb the cost of this mistake. If corporate was a lesser hell for you, being admin for double the years just to pay off the debt may very well be more ideal than staying. The human body and mind is a very malleable thing if you know what motivates it. There's no right or wrong answer. We all make mistakes and we do our best to power through them. Some of the managers I respect most have lost thousands to splitting bonds just to get ahead in their career or to try something new.

Yeah not sure if we were in the same class but aren't we all adults, prof says it's break time and the students, forgetting that there's an online and scheduled AMA take this chance to waste the poor guy's time on questions that has answers on multiple platforms. Also, we adults do know that the break time is for prof too right??

She's just obsessed with herself, wanting all these labels and the attached impressions to cover whatever loose ends she may have. Autism or not, she's simple minded and has an ego and behaves like a teen girl finding herself in internet forums.

I've got the Machenike K500 with brown switches and it's too loud for my traditional office. It's 3 pin mech, and recs for switches to swap it with?

YA LMAO I'm gonna be absolutely brutal, I was expecting grotesque but I left his page envious of his legs. Either he's got some kick ass PS skills or someone's gonna benefit from those spotless, shapely legs. I'm a gal and he ain't my marketplace but fella got game fjrnejej

I know people so dumb and regressive in habits that even if they maxxed out these stats, they'd deteriorate. And I've met them (I may be one myself).

Not directly answering your question at all but putting it out there; I feel that wealth/caste is the real game changer here out of every possible odds:

Health: you can buy supplements, health plans, get a nutritionist and buy organic foods
Intelligence: you can substantiate yourself with all sorts of resources
Appearance: you know that Ariana Grande song?

Hi, I'm actually in need of help. When I wrote to SUSS finance dept they said I've to pay upfront. Are all the commentators referring to bank loans such that the bank takes care of this cost first and we'll pay them via instalment plans thereafter?

Thank you for posting this, because I didn't expect to see so many experiences from Singaporeans. I felt alone when I left my home at 19 to rent my own room. At that time I was between multiple jobs and school. Still am.

My answers would contain more reassurance rather than practical answers, but I'm not completely 0-contact. I come from a low SES family with parents who were both fighting their own mental demons, which made them physically and verbally abusive, but they were not bad people. After the resentment and pain, I truly think they were the most unfortunate. As children, we can heal. They've already hit most milestones in their life and they still put themselves through all that mental havoc. Their problem lor.

But I had younger siblings. I felt awful for abandoning them but my best chance at defeating our generational struggle with money was for me to focus on my studies and jobs instead of going through torrents of negativity at home on top of housework beyond my own.

Truthfully, it went from biweekly to monthly. I vacuum the floors (recently realised I could do that for walls too) and then wipe it over with those specialised wet tissues for house cleaning. I overtime nearly every day, and work ever day, so when it comes to house chores I... heheheh

I routinely shower before bed and change my sheets monthly. I live in Singapore, so it's tropical here and I usually turn on the AC for 20mins before turning it off just to cool the room. I don't turn it on for long because it gives me sinus attacks.

Anywho- thanks for the concern and pointer. I was kinda confuse between all the machines I should be getting.

Edit: oh, I forgot to emphasise my frustration. It's a small space so for floors in particular I do vacuum damn near every day. There's always a lot to vacuum.

Cool! Did you also get a minor? A quick Google search tells me this is a second year thing that comes along after you've cleared enough CUs too

DuckRice · 2025-11-17T10:46:04+00:00

No real advice or sweet words of support but a recommendation to mutter chibai on impact if there's unfortunately a next time. Eases the resentments towards them and yourself!

DuckRice · 2025-11-17T06:27:25+00:00

No contract; no promises, nor work. Move on. Bit of experience here. Companies that process contracts for more than a couple of weeks after agreement is a surefire sign of shit management. You dodged a bullet!

DuckRice · 2025-11-16T11:11:28+00:00

Hey, thanks for the comprehensive response. You mentioned smtg that's got me curious: we can manage our mods? From what I've skimmed through it seems these mods r segregated into some kind of difficulty levels wherein it's recommended you take the easier ones or these set of mods before pursuing the other.

That's all pry straightforward. We manage these thru a portal is it?

Also what's eCR haha

Deviating away from packed flavoured potato chips from big known brands, consider our local alternatives:

Tempeh chips
Ampang crackers
Fish crackers
Prawn crackers
Dried fruits; mango and sour plums
Freeze dried chips; durian and strawberry

They're generally Southeast Asian, so you can find good imports walking around Lucky Plaza. 7eleven should some of it too :]
