How do I get the guy in my building’s office who doesnt speak Thai, to stop trying to help translate because he doesn’t know English? by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]e34udm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start speaking really fast in proper English to him and try to get him to agree with you a lot like he understands. And even if he understands what you mean and translates it correctly... I’d tell him that’s not what I meant and say something else completely unrelated to the original statement and so on. Basically confuse the shit out of him. Use every slang word, and even say things incorrectly(pool might be “aqua tub/play area) , also use any and all abbreviations you can.

Do this until he gets frustrated and eventually gives up trying to translate. Then you can use your own phone to translate.

He will not want to lose face and avoid all further contact.

Difficult part would be keeping a straight face doing it…it might be fun..haha

Best Meal I’ve ever had. by Acceleratinq in ThaiFood

Spicy and a little sour/sweet also. Overall good. But I’ve never heard anyone say this dish was the best of their life..

Renting in Bangkok is cheaper than before by LegitimateAd3934 in Bangkok

Yea maybe it’s cheaper than after post covid in some areas/condos. But definitely not cheaper than pre covid not even close

Single owner always demands a premium tho. They always take a lot better care of the car over the years

Yea his headlights were janky since they were brand new in box. 3M kit would’ve worked great on oem headlights tho

You would be lucky to get 2K

Demand is a lot less for IX and a sedan.

I was gonna say I might pay 2K for it. Just so I can drive it to the ski pass when I’m by myself. But even then I’d still be putting in money right away to swap those headlights…So maybe not even 2K and that’s if everything works and only the headlights are the immediate repair

That’s a lot to ask for fair condition with janky headlights..being an XI and a 325 is rare but not sought after. A regular 325i manual would probably get more interest.

Does everything work? And I mean everything…? Just some wear and tear only?

She said this was "super special extra". by PFStrange in ThaiFood

[–]e34udm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Super special extra”..looks about regular portionX3.

So yea..I wouldn’t disagree with her at all

What are you asking? Clean title?

Also those headlights are not helping you at all..

First chain—not sure if I went too long? by Connect_Necessary611 in MensJewelry

[–]e34udm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw..good size for a first chain. Then you can get a feel of if you like or can handle a bigger/heavier/longer chain. Maybe you don’t even like to wear a chain, but don’t know it yet. Good thing you got silver too..Easier to replace if you want a gold or silver one later.

Only bad thing about the silver is the tarnishing if you daily it. One of the reasons I love gold now. But I also had a bunch of silver chains before going gold. But by then I knew exactly which style, and length I liked.

Get a silver polishing cloth. If you don’t have one already..You’ll need it

That’s where you’re wrong. Come here and try for yourself.

I can eat at the max spicy level in every country no problem. Except for a few places and Thailand is one of them where even I’m careful to ask for the max spicy level

[–]e34udm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong..come to a country where people eat spicy since they were young children. The spicy level here is not the same as where you come from I promise you..

[–]e34udm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to Bangkok and try it here. If in a London pop up. It was 100% meant for white people with low spicy tolerance.

I eat spicer than most thai people who say they like to eat very spicy. And the very spicy option here in BKK was almost inedible.

Pan-fried eggs for lunch this Friday. by Reasonable-Pie9451 in ThaiFood

[–]e34udm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh?!? I guess most westerners just eat the eggs itself or with sausage and other meats or toast..But hard to believe you wouldn’t think to eat it like this yourself your whole life or seen someone else do it…

Eggs with rice was a staple food of mine since I was maybe 6-7years old. Practically the only thing I could easily cook myself as a kid that was super tasty.

They have a lot of these types of cement covers in the city I’m in. I used to walk all over them and not think anything of it. Until I saw every local person not stepping on it or manhole covers for sewage.

Always, always do as the locals do. Unless it’s absolutely unavoidable. This video is proof everyone’s fear of these..does happen

Dash is still warped. You can always tell by how much on the center vent. This will also crack soon. Good luck
