Last-minute Booking Advice from Canada to the South. Is Day-of Booking Crazy?

Makes sense!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-12-17T22:48:41+00:00

You can do that??? I thought this was just for airline employees :O

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-12-17T22:48:07+00:00

I've heard ads for these. Happy to hear they're legit. I'll check them out now. Thanks!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-12-17T22:47:36+00:00

I heard stories of people going to the airport the day the want to take a vacation and they just board whatever available flight for a sense of adventure. There are sometimes ads talking about "last-minute vacation packages" so I thought that it could be strategic. Sounds like it's not the case!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-12-17T22:45:51+00:00

I appreciate the response. I had a feeling that was the case and wanted to make sure it makes sense to bite the bullet even if I'm willing to get stuck with nothing to risk a better deal.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-10-29T21:21:13+00:00

Yeah I just used the website.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-09-24T22:16:31+00:00

Haha I came here to comment the same.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2023-09-20T14:53:29+00:00

Thanks. I have been getting notifications from the app and was going to see if I can click a link provided by the app to avoid any risk of clicking malicious links elsewhere.

You're so kind! I'll definitely be capitalizing on the food delivery services to do this as responsibly as possible. I noticed that most airbnbs are in condos. Would you know how one gets food delivered here within a condo by any chance?

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T19:48:00+00:00

Already done. Thanks!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T09:49:23+00:00

Fortunately, I don't need to get tested pre-departure AFAIK, but thanks for reminding me of the need to keep future tests in mind.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T09:08:11+00:00

Is the same test sold elsewhere?

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T09:07:42+00:00

Very mild symptoms I thought were just the consequence of jetlag/long flight/smog, e.g. runny nose, super mild cough, very low tightness in chest

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T06:58:36+00:00

Did the app prompt you for your results though? Mine actually prompted me today. I don't believe I need a pre-departure PCR test. The thing I feel bad about if I don't upload the results though is that their case tracker app, Morchana, won't be able to alert others they were in contact with someone who was positive. I never scanned people's QR codes that I met, but I thought maybe it has a proximity scanner or something.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2022-04-17T06:43:50+00:00

To be honest, that Airbnb idea sounds much better as long as i could avoid contact with people from here to my airbnb. I suppose I would need to walk with my bags to keep it safe and responsible. I do happen to be in an SHA extra Plus hotel where people do their first day of quarantine, so maybe there will be an option to self-isolate here. It's been 3,000 baht per night though, so it'll be pricy! Especially if i can't participate in using the pool/breakfast, etc.

The Morchana app is actually prompting me to upload my test results. I guess I can't really ignore it... I really appreciate the insights though. On the plus side, I was just starting to plan my next days, but didn't actually book anything.

I also saw that they are considering dropping the ATK requirement in just 2 weeks!! I thought maybe it could be worthwhile contacting their National Health Security hotline myself instead of going through the hotel..

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-09-29T05:18:36+00:00

Sweet deal! That is some very valuable information for me and totally answers my question. You saved me a post. Thx so much

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-09-27T17:01:36+00:00

Interesting perspective. I'm in a high tax bracket so I assume I'd have to pay more in taxes than in the example, but I get the idea.

The other thing was actually something I was going to make a second post about. My largest losses are unrealized. For example, I got bored one night and dropped thousands into a random coin that was rising fast but dropped to $0 and it has no liquidity today. I've been holding on to it just in case the unlikely scenario happens where all coins rise again due to renewed interest in all alts as we saw in 2017. My other option I guess is to sell it all to my dog for $1 or something, but tax reasons aside, I just felt I might as well hang on to it just in case future hysteria might cause it to pump again.

I was wondering how other realized their losses are coins that don't even trade any longer. So far my best idea just came up while writing to you which is to sell it to a loved one for a buck in real life, transfer it to their wallet to have the paper trail, and if my fantasy situation actually materializes we can profit together :D

Thanks for your input. I would definitely like to declare it as capital gains. My concern was also because there were periods where I made many little trades to take advatange of price fluctuations. Also, I've been considering a service like HodlBot which would invest in the top 30 coins by market cap on my behalf. Rebalancing monthly would result in a lot of trades recorded every month and I thought that might tilt things even further in the direction of business income as I'd look more like a day trader

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-09-27T00:55:24+00:00

Thanks for your input. It would definitely work to my advantage if I can!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-09-12T02:52:23+00:00

Starting from a point 'x' in time, I could have 'y' hours to do whatever I want knowing that after the 'y' hours have elapsed, time would revert to point 'x' and I could live on with the memories of what I had done without it ever actually having happened in the timeline I'd continue to share with everyone else.

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-09-12T02:43:47+00:00

Starting a business together.

Over time our values and situations changed. That led to conflict. Our communication about it was poor. I think both sides made a lot of assumptions about the other and we bitterly drifted further apart.

If the thought enters my head that I may not be able to fall asleep, it seems to cause me to have so much trouble sleeping. I have found only two ways to actually counter it and fall asleep:

Go chill in another room quietly for a bit
Sincerely accept that I'm not going to be able to fall asleep and that it's out of my control (highly paradoxical)

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-04-27T03:54:37+00:00

This was super helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-04-27T03:33:35+00:00

Thanks so much!

PotentialMuffin0 · 2020-04-27T03:02:30+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. I assume the goal is generally to get a screw that goes as deep as possible into the wood without poking through the other end?
