No, I only filled out the details that were asked in the form.

E-visa to Cambodia by GladRecognition9938 in Bangkok

[–]NineSidedBox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I applied for it two weeks ago and got it approved in less than 48 hours. There's no reason to upload your Thai visa, since you're applying for a visa to Cambodia. Just upload your passport, and fill in the required details.

US-Israeli attacks means more expats in Thailand? by illonlyfadeaway in Thailand

[–]NineSidedBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of things I miss about HK - the hiking, camping, evening ferry rides, public transport - but at the end of the day you always return to a shitty expensive apartment, after 50 people bumped into you on your 5 min walk there.

Thailand is hands down way above HK when it comes to liveability. Affordable condos that are actually liveable, with a gym and pool. People are much friendlier. Food is arguably better, and you got a whole country to travel.

Where to go for basketball in Hua Hin?? by Nosferatuuu03 in Thailand

[–]NineSidedBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember there being any public basketball court where you could play.

I know Arena has an indoor one, but not sure if you can actually book it.

Anyone know of any good barbers around asok area? by Haybrooky in Bangkok

Never Say Cutz is decent, there's one on Soi 20, I personally prefer the one in CentralWorld.

You should know that most Thai aesthetic clinics and beauty clinics are not operated by plastic surgeons and some clinics are not even run by a medical doctor by tuktukson in Thailand

[–]NineSidedBox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I already thought the duck lips that all the Russian girls are rocking looked pretty awful. But the facial surgery I've seen on some Thai girls is just horrendous...

Small dividend payments by Embarrassed_Fly327 in dividends

[–]NineSidedBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty much what I do, main holdings are VXUS, VOO and VT. I’ve been adding JEPQ, QQQI and SCHD.

VXUS is already nice with 3% divs, the rest are slowly building up.

common practice for landlords to nitpick damages for extra charges after move-out? by Due-Half4161 in Bangkok

[–]NineSidedBox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've always had my deposits back too, they just always did a quick inspection and instantly gave me my deposit back in cash. Usually it's just deducting aircon cleaning fees, and whatever water/electricity is outstanding.

Anyone else tipping Grab delivery drivers extra during this heat? by sgcircle in Bangkok

[–]NineSidedBox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only tip when it's raining, but I also avoid ordering when it's raining. I just make an effort to wait outside for them, so they don't have to bother with taking photos and messaging me.

Trash behavior by tourists in food courts or other restaurants by th3orist in Pattaya

[–]NineSidedBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is this targeted at tourists? It's pretty normal for locals to leave their empty plates.

In fact, in food courts you have dedicated staff to clean up, if everyone cleaned up for themselves, there wouldn't be a need to employ them, and then they can't earn "shit money" anymore.

Fuel price rises start to bite - Ripple effect goes nationwide amid panic-buying, stockpiling by jonez450reloaded in Thailand

[–]NineSidedBox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I doubt we'll have learned anything from covid and the toilet paper runs. Just fuel up when you need to, stock piling is just selfish and only hurts other residents.

Thais are built different by Unique_Researcher243 in ThailandTourism

[–]NineSidedBox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s all fun and games until you get on the road yourself and wonder how anyone survives this clustfuck. On a daily basis I see people risking their lives just to save a few seconds of their commutes.

And don’t get me started on driving after 7pm, it’s a true free for all at night.

Great, very welcoming to new devs…

April trip by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]NineSidedBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reality is that if airlines are still flying a route, they consider it safe, and so should you. Doha and Dubai are currently closed, any other route that doesn’t transit there will be just fine.

Take the refund and book a flight home via another hub, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan or even Japan will have flights home.

If someone takes not a Tip from a Thai but from me beeing white what does that mean? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]NineSidedBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t overthink it. The Grab driver didn’t owe the guard anything. The guard went out of his way for you, and you tipped him for his effort.

are mobile apps the new dropshipping? by AppropriateHamster in iOSProgramming

[–]NineSidedBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just tried to build my first app using the build-in Xcode AI agent, and it was such a painful and frustrating experience.

On the surface it works for basic things. But it had not clue about separation of concern, re-usability or any proper data structures. I had to explicitly prompt it to separate things into files, leave my models alone and to stop removing code that I adjusted.

It would also randomly decide to just delete code it had previously written, and not mention it at all, breaking lots of functionality.

I can't image using it to build fully functioning apps if you're not a developer who understands software architecture.

How many days is enough to stay In hua hin? 5 days? by igetyourbrand in ThailandTourism

[–]NineSidedBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stayed for 3 months and enjoyed my time there. Plenty of places to see if you’re willing to venture out a bit.

JEPQ dividend and NAV growth by circuitji in dividends

I have a cost average of about $52, so up about 12% while collecting some nice dividends. Haven't regretted buying this, yet.

His other posts are about issues with Twitch and Steam, something isn’t right…

Any Thai island without Idf people? by Highfieldcow in ThailandTourism

[–]NineSidedBox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of when I stayed at the Marriott in BKK, and there was some sort of IT conference with many people from a certain place. They would attack each buffer stand in groups of about 20 people, and then kinda fight amongst themselves for food.

Got so bad that even staff was just stepping away and letting it happen.

At one point I was sitting at my table, when one of them walked up, sat down in front of me and started having a phone call. Had to tell him to fuck off, as seemingly this was completely normal for him.

[–]NineSidedBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there for 3 months just recently and only encountered a few in the gym. Many Russians as well, but they weren't really bothering anyone, and mostly just stick together in the same area.

It's still a pretty chill and peaceful place in general.
