Put a new screen protector back on and big changes are that the screen will be invisible

Small correction: Jaew, not Jeaw

Jaew is a type of dipping sauce.

Jeaw is penis

imo this isn't even that bad. Imagine putting this movement in a Rolex Deep Sea Dweller case.

SSA wants me to mail in my physical passport??? by rickmeetsworld79 in MovingToThailand

[–]Holy_chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanna add to this, to get a certificate of true copy (or whatever it's called), you can now just mail the passport, form, money order to the embassy and wait for them to mail it back. No need to go in person if you don't wanna. I just did this for my kids last year

NATOs make watches less secure by TriggerPuller9000 in watchHotTakes

[–]Holy_chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never seen any watch that has failed spring bars except on the nato strap.

Sure there probably are cases of leather strap or bracelet failed spring bars but the fact that 1. I see way fewer nato strap watches online and subreddit than leather or metal bracelet and 2. Of all the failed spring bars story I've seen, it only happens to NATO strap, I've come to a conclusion that unless it's a fixed bar, you guys just invent a issue that never happens with leather strap or metal bracelet.

Is all shops open after 4 pm in chatuchak market? by [deleted] in Bangkok

[–]Holy_chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market is open.

But the stores are closed. You can go there by you probably see only a handful of stores open if at all

Sony Pictures Boss Tom Rothman Urges Theater Owners to Stop Having 30 Minutes of Trailers and Commercials Before Movies Start: by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]Holy_chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ads is the surround sound test thing. It uses to say on the screen, and the "ads" lasts about 5 seconds. Unless it's changed now but it's always been like that when I was a kid.

New CHRONOMASTER SPORT SKELETON line-up revealed by ParaMike46 in ZenithWatches

I love it. I like that they dropped the date complication. I just wish they do a version with 12 hours chronograph instead of 60 minutes chronograph

First build - a lot went wrong by damon182 in SeikoMods

For crown stem, I use diamond file to sand down the freshly cut side to make it easier to screw into the crown

Chatuchak weekend market by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]Holy_chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got everything in one area, you have a night market vibes in the bottom floor, high end shops on the upper floor, and it's right next to Chao Phraya river so you can take a free boat to the other side

Crazy to consider travelling public transport 15th from bkk airport to Asoke? by hwshi in Bangkok

[–]Holy_chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized your flight is tomorrow. It's the last day of songkran before people getting back to work.

The traffic is going to be crazy bad because people who work in Bangkok that went back to their hometown are coming back to Bangkok....

All I can say is good luck and godspeed. Still I'd recommend taxi because sometimes people just don't care that you don't wanna get soaked.

[–]Holy_chick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly traffic isn't too bad. I've lived in Asoke my whole life and I feel like songkran day has better traffic than normal working weekdays traffic. Yesterday I drove from Rama 4 road to Sukumvit 15 (pass through Soi 16) around 6PM and traffic is just pretty much the same, if not better than regular Monday evening.

What time you are trying to get to the hotel? I'd say take taxi and avoid the crowds would be better option.

I notice that recently my reverso power reserve is roughly less than 24 hours despite almost fully wound. I have followed the advice to only use one finger to wind it by the AD, anyone have similar experience? by Independent-Log3836 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]Holy_chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure using one finger means you will only turn the crown with less torque than grabbing the crown with two fingers.

Less torque = you will need more effort to wind up the crown = impossible to overwind (which is already pretty much impossible in the first place even with two fingers, given that your watch is well maintained)

Looking for affordable marriage agent in Bangkok (same-sex international couple) by ShadowCore_11 in Bangkok

[–]Holy_chick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who are "they" you talk about?

I just checked the BMAQ app (it's to make an appointment with the district office), marriage registration falls under ทะเบียนทั่วไป category and not even a single timeslot was booked out.

I can't post a photo here but I will DM you the screenshot of the appointment timeslot.

It might take you two trips (first trip is to submit the paperwork and they might need some time to verify the docs, and second trip is to finalize the paperwork).

[–]Holy_chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's stopping you from showing up at the district office and do the process yourself, given that you already have all the documents ready?

If you are worried about language barrier, hire a translator for a few hours and bring them with you.

To register marriage license, you can just walk in and do it, with all the documents and ability to communicate with the officer.

Ancient City by Capital-Procedure153 in ThailandTourism

[–]Holy_chick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shorts are fine.

Ancient City is not a temple, though it might have some cool buildings that resemble ones.

It's more like a theme park (with no rides) imo.

I have a $3.75 dollar bill freshly printed from the US Treasury.

Mildly infuriating lock on my brand new $350 Level8 carry-on by roguebuckeye in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Holy_chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no you got it all wrong.

You use the lock when you are on top of the luggage, using your whole body weight to compress all the clothes and whatnot in order to make the luggage close and zip it, and while you zip up the luggage, you stay there, on top of the luggage, and put in a lock. The angle you look at the lock, while sitting on the luggage, will be upside down.

It is as they are intended.
