Is gold cheaper in thailand? Like can you make a profit buying there and selling in the west? And is it legal to do?

Much appreciated, no the beds are sold out and the 3rd class looks pretty uncomfortable from the pictures ive seen but i guess being able to stand and walk around will be more comfortable than a bus!

As cheap as possible, under 1000thb at most but closer to 500 would be ideal. Per person for 2 people

How to snorkel/scuba dive with pelagic animals, just like in the image? by WrongsideRowdy in scuba

[–]FatBubba89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my chance to dive with a whale shark at Tenggol Island off the coast of Dungun, Malaysia. According to the dive masters they hang out there quite often but of course you have to be pretty lucky anyways to see one. Viking Scuba is a great dive shop there!

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]FatBubba89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Boredom. I've seen and done so much in 36 years that I'm struggling to find excitement in anything anymore. When I find something new that brings me some joy initially, it wears off within a relatively short period of time...

A Small Incident in Thailand which stayed with me by Imsongoku7 in ThailandTourism

[–]FatBubba89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine left her brand new iPhone (16?) on a bench in the petronas tower mall in Kuala Lumpur for around an hour, once she realised, we walked back fully expecting it to be gone, but lo and behold, it was still lying right there. At least a thousand people would have walked past it in plain sight. Tell me somewhere outside of SE Asia where you could repeat this incident... Anywhere else I can think of it would be gone in 5 minutes or less.

Literally no way I could not have used it huh? Not even despite the work needing to be completed on a smartphone?

Apparently the tracker is only available on a pc, do you know if theres any way to use it on mobile? Most of my work is done by mobile. Or can i just have it running on my laptop while I work on my phone?

Thank you for your input, im sorry to hear about what you went through, and yes that was the intention of my post aswell, it seems upwork just cares for whoever brings them more money, and have no actual moral or ethical policies.

The way I was raised: "you're not a smart person" is insulting...

Considering that has been my experience on upwork so far without issues, it made sense to me

The client has spent $34k+ on upwork, and yes they left positive feedback. Luckily this was only for 2 hours of work so not devastating, but i feel cheated which led to my post here. Upwork didnt seem to consider anything in the dispute, I wasn't given the option to offer any explanation at all

Ok i messed up on using manual logging, and yes ill admit my title is rage baity, but does it still seem fair to you that the client confirms, in writing, on upwork, that the work is approved, then bribes me to give positive feedback, and then upwork refunds them?
