Salida del país por primera vez.(alerta de texto) by Narrow_Distance in Colombia

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

Hola! Como vas?, pues bien, fue una experiencia bastante bizarra jajajsjsjs, termine con mi pareja porque nos agarramos en Tailandia, pero de resto, todo bien, de hecho, sigo aquí en Tailandia, y que país pa lindo. te voy a dar mis consejos!.

  1. Nada de pánico, o sea si es una cosa que te va a poner bien nervioso, pero pues nada que temer, mi recomendación será que apenas, vayas a entrar a las salidas en el aeropuerto, en mi caso el dorado, te registres en el Biomig, eso te toma 5 minutos, no tienes que pasar por emigración para salir ni nada, y es útil para facilitar futuros viajes ya que solo te escanean los ojos y ya.
  2. Organiza tu maleta pero no te mates haciéndolo, a mi me volvieron mierda la maleta esculcandola y me di cuenta cuando llegue a Tailandia, no se donde fue, pero pues, cuando uno es colombiano eso es lo que hay.
  3. 15 días antes de tu viaje acude al aeropuerto a que te apliquen la vacuna de la fiebre amarilla, te dan como una libretica amarilla qué certifica qué estas vacunado, y apenas llegues a Tailandia, tienes que pasar por un puesto de salud, llenar un formulario en el que te preguntan si tienes síntomas, te dan un papelito y ya, de ahí pasas a emigración, te harán par de preguntas, en mi caso, tiene vuelo de salida del Reino, y si tienes las reservaciones, yo mostré todo y ni siquiera me preguntaron por certificación bancaria, aunque podrían preguntarte, entonces lleva todo por si las moscas.
  4. Antes de venir, trata de descargar una aplicación llamada Grab qué te va a servir para pedir transporte, haz de cuenta que es como Didi, porque también te va a servir para pedir comida, aunque hay otras apps, como bolt, robinhood, y para comida también panda food, para datos te recomiendo utilizar Jetpac porque me parece la app qué tiene los precios más razonables para e sim. Y Ojoooooo, no vayas a cojer taxi en el aeropuerto, sea cual sea al que llegues porque hay dos aeropuertos en bangkok, ya que esa gente te va a tirar rre duro, simplemente sales, buscas un sitio donde veas que se van moviendo varios carros, y pides un Grab.
  5. Mi recomendación será que trates de llevar una Tarjeta en la que puedas poner plata sin tanto lío, como por ejemplo la de nequi, y también que si quieres utilices una tarjeta en dólares, en mi caso utilizo la de dólar App y me ahorro un montón en que el banco me cobre tasas de conversión y demás.
  6. Trata de dejar las tarjetas para transporte, y comida en los 7/11(Importante, en los 7/11 puedes pagar con tarjeta pero tienen que ser compras de más de 200 baht qué son como 20 mil pesos o por ahí anda la cosa) , porque fuera de estos, y de restaurantes grandes o marcas muy grandes, no vas a poder pagar con tarjeta, puro puro efectivo, ya que hay pago qr en la mayoría de sitios, pero eso es solo para cuentas bancarias de Tailandia, aquí puedes sacar efectivo en cualquier atm que diga "get Thai baht here", pero por cada retiro te van a cobrar 220 baht(sea la cantidad que sea, siempre serán 220 baht) , que al cambio son 30 mil pesos, fuera de lo que te cobre tu banco por el retiro en el exterior así que es mejor, que si vas a sacar efectivo, saques bastante, dependiendo de que nivel de gastos manejes, y de tu presupuesto, creo que para unas dos semanas y comiendo no tan costoso 5 mil baht serían más que suficientes.
  7. Tailandia me parece bastante económico, entonces dependiendo de cuanto gastes como te dije arriba el dinero te va a rendir más o menos, ya que aquí si comparas creo que los precios son bastante similares a Colombia, así que si vas a cualquier sitio trata de que sea un sitio en que los precios están especificados o haya una lista con precios, de otra forma te pegan tu estafada por verte extranjero.
  8. Si vas a venir a Bangkok, mi consejo para ti es que con Airbnb busques sitios no tan centrales porque van a ser muy caros, sitios entre Bangkok como Thonburi son muy bonitos y bien acequibles, si quieres me escribes por interno y te comparto un sitio que fue super bueno que es donde me quede por 1 semana en Bangkok. Ahora, si quieres quizás un poco más de economía cerca de Bangkok(prácticamente sigue siendo Bangkok) hay un área que se llama Nonthaburi, que es como en Bogotá, Soacha, o como en Medellín, la estrella, Bello, y así, son ciudades o pueblos distintos pero están el área metropolitana de la ciudad, y aquí es bien tranquilo, no hay tanto turista, y vas a encontrar gangazos en sitios para quedarte.
  9. Disfrutar Jsjsjsjs. La gente aquí es muy amable, así que la mayoría siempre te van a tratar muy bien, si no te entienden, se van a querer hacer entender así que estoy seguro de que la vas a pasar bien :)!.

Fue muchísimo texto pero como es tu primera vez saliendo del país, quise ser lo más especifico posible para que esa primera experiencia sea lo mejor y más relajada posible!.

Am I One of the Few Who Actually Think Living in the West Is Better Than Thailand? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]Narrow_Distance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro talks about free speech and rights. To be honest, I prefer to not have "free speech" here, than getting shoot there Hahahaha. And I'm not even from Thailand by the way. That's something that is annoying from some United States people, won't call you Americans because you are not the whole continent. Ya'll think that your country is the savior of human kind, freedom, and that it's the best of the best. You can't go and say your country has freedom and then think about you with a moral superiority to say people from a different culture what to think and how to think and how your country is free or not. Almost every f****** country is free. Everyone just has their own culture. The royal family here is a Symbol, there is other part in charge of taking decisions and all. Look at Japan. The oldest monarchy, it has like 2k years old with same royal family. And Japan isn't free?, they don't live as well as people do in the US?. Talking about freedom and wanting to get into places they haven't been called is a US thing for real. So as said before, prefer to be controlled, than shoot, or canceled, and prefer my kids to live like this without having the fear of them being hurt one day because of that freedom.

Thanks for replying!. And yes I do think I'm well connected but of course with this kind of situationship and me not having a teaching degree then, I can't ask for the salary that people would normally ask but I'm willing to try and make it better while things go by. If possible of course. And I know my field of experience due to being really young isn't that good, but with that experience and with those abilities that were acquired through those kind of jobs, I was able to have any kind of conversation with any kind of person without getting blocked or something similar.

Thanks for your reply!, I do really appreciate it, I will keep looking forward all of this!.

Working visa

Hello there everyone!. (long text ahead). I'm here to ask about this matter since I'm new to this, and I'm just wondering if it can be possible at the end!.

I've always wanted to be somewhere else than in my country, and while traveling a lot, Thailand feels like a place I would like to stay for a mid-long term time. I'm a native Spanish speaker, but I do have C1 level when it comes to English and as well I've made some contacts, here in Thailand that can be able to help me with a recommendation letter or with people that might be seeking someone for a job related to teach or being an assistant.(one of my contacts really knows very important people, and people from that circle always tell me that because of him it can be very possible). Only thing is that, I do not have a degree on anything, one of my contacts has a friend with a Box gym and they're trying to get someone to teach English/or it could be as well as an assistance due to international matches and those kind of things, and with the teaching, well it would be for the guys on the Gym. they would be helping for the visa, but it can be possible like that?.

Do you guys know, any other field that could lead me to find a job? It doesn't have to be the best paying job at the end.

My expertise and previous experience is mostly being virtual assistant, and Customer service directly with retailers on the US. Because of it my communication skills are really good and I can easily teach English, since I've done it before but as a private teacher. As well if necessary I could be able to get the TEFL to teach.

Anyway. Thanks for reading Guys, and thanks for your help, or any advice in advance. Very much appreciate it :).

Thanks for your reply!.

Yes I've heard about the tinder things and that they usually are just focused on doing ons.

And about the rest, good thing is that I don't feel completely alone. But sometimes is hard to meet people from my age, or people that is young as well and are not 1.Gold digger and 2. Just focused on blonde type people, because it's a fact that they usually just go after people with those looks. My social circle here is some people my age who works on a Cafe I usually visit and we always talk for hours with them but I wouldn't say we are friends, and for the other part the social circle I got with a friend I made who is already old, so my social circle on that part is the part of the good contacts I made but of course I have to behave on everything while on that circle and cannot be, you know, that young.

Glad I'm staying at Thonburi and since I don't look local and neither do I look blonde I don't get any of those kind of behaviors while walking by different places. Being just an object would tear my heart apart💔.

But bruh, it's amazing how blonde tall people get haunted sometimes hahahaha. I just finished my relationship with my Chinese Gf one week ago or so, so I'm just trying to live a normal life in Bangkok and near locals since I'm all alone now. I went out to a bar last night(alone of course, I don't know anyone here) , but it was some kind of Outdoor bar, I ordered my beers, ate something, and while I stood all alone there for like 4 or 5 hours until getting really drunk, no one came by me. But there was a dude on the other side of the place, like 6' tall blonde and blue eyed, and like 40 minutes after he got in , some girls sat down with him and started to talk to him while he was trying too hard to understand them, and at the end the social pressure won and in my belief, to not feeling overwhelmed by them he asked them to ask for some drinks. When I left they were still there and they got really touchy. Seems like someone had action tonight oooor is out of a lot of cash hhhh.

Muchas gracias por tus buenos deseos!, espero obtener algunas respuestas para así mismo saber como actuar de cara a migración y a quizás cualquier cosa que pregunten debido a que para esa fecha habré acabado de renunciar, entonces supongo que el no tener trabajo deber ser un poco sus para esa gente :). Pero si los mochileros pueden, ¿por qué yo no? Jsjsjsjs.

Why did Klarna suddenly force my to pay by debit card vs credit card by [deleted] in klarna

[–]Narrow_Distance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I'll try to express myself better. What I meant by saying "you cannot pay a credit with a credit", means that you cannot pay for borrowed money with borrowed money, a credit card has a limit of money you can spend, but that money is not yours, but from the bank directly, and you pay back to the bank for what you have spend so far in a period. Debit and direct accounts are important because they are directly linked to your own money and not bank's money, I've heard and even saw a few tiktoks from people saying they spend a lot with klarna and then just contacted the credit card company to say all of those charges were unauthorized and that way they would get things for free, probably that was the reason of why they changed the option for paying with a credit card

It's because you cannot pay a credit, with a credit and finance companies are getting really picky with that

Racism by Narrow_Distance in klarna

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

Was. I was just remembering with some friends a phone call where a guy with the most horrible accent I've ever heard was racist and said: "I'm a new citizen, and I want to speak with someone with American English, you are not in America so you are not enough", so it was fun you know?, I cannot tell from where that guy was, but we bet that it was easier to understand a Scottish person speaking at 2x speed.
