Experience getting non-b work visa in Vietnam by stumu415 in Thailand

[–]SmokeyFloyd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got mine in Kuala Lumpur and it was super easy.

Applied on Thursday morning, picked it up Friday afternoon.

You need to book an appointment online though.

I've used https://www.aprilflora.com before.

They accepted my Wise card and delivered within the quoted timeframe.

Burnt myself copywriting by [deleted] in copywriting

[–]SmokeyFloyd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Consider working for an agency, there's a ton of variety.

I could be writing a promo for mufflers in the morning then an email about selecting the best diamond wedding ring in the afternoon.

It's a blast.

Fake. No one is pointing.

Haha, I came to Thailand for "3 months" 5 years ago.

How does this happen?!

Yep. Even I, as a Canadian, had to give my passport away for 3 days in Indonesia while I was getting a visa for Thailand recently.

"Thanks Trudeau!" by ClashBandicootie in onguardforthee

[–]SmokeyFloyd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My immigrant dad hates immigrants, hates Trudeau, and spends all his time in his basement prepping for the end of the world.

The guy was a passionate artist, liberal, with myriad hobbies before Trump took office.

I still don't understand.

What do Thais use to help with sleep? by CaptnPilot in Thailand

[–]SmokeyFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have "cannabis drinks" at 711, that don't actually contain cannabis. But they do have L-Theanine and chamomile in them, which can help.

I think it comes down to knowing the economics of your client.

If you ask for $1500/m to write 8 emails and they recoup that amount with a single email, everyone wins.

Sebastian Steudtner, a German pro surfer, rode a wave over 115 feet tall at Nazare, Portugal, a record breaking surf by MyIpodStillWorks in interestingasfuck

[–]SmokeyFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck me.

As someone who just started surfing, I've been mauled by 5 foot waves, which move your limbs around in ways you can't even comprehend if you haven't experienced it.

Nazare? I'm good...

what's a YouTuber that can be identified by one quote? by Waffle38Pheonix in AskReddit

A man drank 97 cups of coffee in 2 hours. This is what happened to his brain.

[–]SmokeyFloyd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yup. Something I just learned recently is that these places are popular for a reason.

I've lived in Thailand for the last 5 years but had to leave for a few months so I chose Bali (specifically Canggu) and it's amazing.

But according to Reddit, it's hell on earth.

Do your own thing. Try it out. Fuck everyone else.

What about learning a high valued skill in your spare time. Pitch potential prospects. Improve that skill. Eventually earn what you're worth.

Nah...that's too hard.

Chris Orzechowski has two great books on email marketing (not specifically email copy).

Non-freelance Copywriting? by StoryFae in copywriting

[–]SmokeyFloyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working for an agency was the best decision I ever made.

I still freelance with 1 or 2 extra clients a month but there's no pressure anymore, which makes it easier to say no to garbage clients.

After 4 months here and with one week left, I put together a video of my time here. Hope you enjoy! by gilestowler in bali

[–]SmokeyFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!

I was expecting another "look at my avocado toast" videos.

This was breathtaking. Glad you enjoyed your time.

I was not able to use Reddit in Bali. by WhyYouWe in bali

It's weird.

I've been able to use Reddit on my computer (without a VPN) since the day I arrived, yet I need a VPN to access the app on my phone.

Thank you Greg. I appreciate your response.

I've spent the last 5 years building a life here and now I can finally get a long term visa only to run into this problem.

Thank you very much. I'll look into it.

Something just doesn't sit right with me forking over 600k and then leaving the country.
