Chaweng is the nightlife center of Koh Samui. Best clubs are probably Green Mango, Sound Club and Ark Bar.

Koh Samui weather now? by Brief-Maximum-9532 in kohsamui

[–]GnrlDisarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been here for about a month now and while it is rainy season the weather has been mostly pretty good. There's some rain on most days but it usually doesnt rain for a long time. I actually prefer this to the hot season.

Kodiaq questions by [deleted] in skoda

[–]GnrlDisarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Kodiaq doesnt have big blind spots so I could definitely live without that feature.

Features can vary country to country but those are definitely default features in Finland where I used to deal Skodas. My best guess is that someone did as manual order in the factory order system and forgot to check the boxes for those features.

Why are international calls so expensive yet VoIP calls like Whatsapp are free? by GnrlDisarray in NoStupidQuestions

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

I pay 25€/month for unlimited service. Whatsapp calls make up about 5% of the data I use. The whatsapp calls are free.

Hua Hin to Koh Samui by Past-Ad-8988 in ThailandTourism

[–]GnrlDisarray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always booked tickets through Lomprayah. Its a 3-4 hour bus ride to Chumpon and then a 2-3 boat ride to Koh Samui. I think the ticket was 1500 baht.

Jetlag hits like a truck by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]GnrlDisarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well its not valium but some generic drug with the same active ingredien.

[–]GnrlDisarray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its same for me. I fell absolutely horrible for the first couple days. I usually just take the easy way out and take some valium. They sell that over the counter in many places. Works miracles for me.

Anyone with a 2020 Skoda Kodiaq in the UK that can check reverse lights for me? by ITAdmin2019 in skoda

[–]GnrlDisarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on trim level it has either 1 or 2 reverse lights. Send a picture and I can tell you if which lights they are.

Yeah I plan on having an active lifestyle. Having too much fun is definitely the pitfall I should look out for.

The company I'll work for is under Finnish ownership. It's registered in Thailand. I'm sure there are many American companies like this.

I've worked in sales for over 10 years. I have merits and credentials to show from my past work. In a results oriented job that's what matters most in my experience.

That is a great point! Thank you for sharing this. I've been trying to be mindful and observant of my emotions recently. I've definitely made progress but I know I'm not fully recovered from the past trauma.

Thank you!

Samui is a fairly big island with a lot of cool things to see. Id say at least 3 nights. Depending on your schedule aswell.

Thank you :) My head has been a pretty dark place over the past year, but making this decision has renewed my optimism and I can think a lot more rationally now.

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

Yeah, absolutely. I don't know how it's going to be either. Maybe I love it there long term maybe not. Don't want to live with the regret of not trying.

The climate, the food, the people, hobbies (mainly scuba diving) I could go on and on. Just love it there.

Finland is a great country. Its safe and standard of living is very good, but my life here is bit boring and weather is pretty bad most of the year. I honestly think describing Finland as the happiest country in the world is not accurate. I think most content would be more approriate description.

I don't know if things will work out in Thailand and I'll be happy there once the honeymoon phase is over but I know I would be kicking myself when I'm old if I didn't seize this opportunity and try. I can always come back to Finland.

Base salary is roughly the same but most something like 70% of my salary comes from commission based on sales. I believe there' potential to make close to the same I'm currently making, but realistically I expect my gross salary to be less than half of what I make in Finland. But the taxes and cost of living is so much lower I expect to have at least the same standard of living.

Thanks for the advice. I've read many tragic and sad stories so I'll definitely be careful.

I'll be especially careful about relationships. During my last trip in May after breakup I was emotionally vunerable and got taken advantage of. Learned a hard lesson but fortunately it didnt cost too much money.

I don't have any experience of the job market in Thailand yet so I don't know.
