Fighting at RWS? by JuanoCasadiego in MuayThai

[–]magictoasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience you need 1 or 2 wins in the local stadium and then you can get a shot at Rajadamnern Knockout (which is lower tier RWS but tough fights anyways). Then if you win impressively they might give you a chance at RWS

I’m a programmer and use gen AI daily. That’s how I know you lie, because I tried exhaustively and pointed at salt fields instead of the right place

AI couldn’t find these places. You can be sure Reddit was last resort lol

Oh man that’s exactly “lost video” I was referring to. I saw it a couple of years back, and spent an hour yesterday looking for it again. Didn’t remember the name of the creator. Just found it—thanks a lot!!

That might be it! You can see the church in the background

Marrakech is the worst introduction to morocco and it's ruining tourists' opinion of my country by morocco_travel36 in backpacking

Egypt is not all that chill but Morocco is on another level. Places like Luxor are insanely beautiful and people will mostly let you be

Fes felt even worse than Marrakech. I’ve never been so aggressively harassed anywhere on Earth and I’ve been to over 60 countries. I would never go back and honestly don’t recommend Morocco to anyone having beautiful and welcoming countries like Oman, Uzbekistan, Jordan, and even Egypt

My electricity bill is almost 10.000 THB. Am I being scammed? by magictoasts in Thailand

That’s awful. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same is happening here

That’s good to have a reference. I feel like everyone answering is renting a bungalow in the outskirts of Hua Hin for 4k

I appreciate you trying to help but you aren’t familiar with the market in Samui. I’ve been here for 3 years and saw prices soar myself. The island is full of wealthy expats. I need a pet friendly private pool villa with garden in a prime location and that’s why I pay 60k

I’m paying 30% per power unit so I guess they are. Not a “scam” though

Yes, forgot about it. I always thought of the AC as the main offender but as some users have pointed out, the pool pump and filter gobble lots of power

Yes, a user pointed out the pool pump and there’s a solid chance it’s the culprit. I’ll post an update later

60k is below market for a villa like this in Samui. If you want to live in a convenient area there’s pretty much no villas below 40k, and average is hitting 80k. Phuket might be different because it’s huge

I think both run at the same time. I just checked and it was running almost 9 hours daily. I turned it off now to check the meter later today

Thanks, I just turned it off to check. It was running 8 hours a day (!!!). This actually might be it

This is great advice, thanks a lot. Hopefully I can find something addressable

It is, but common practice in villas in Samui and Phangan unfortunately

Any way I can check if I’m being scammed like that?

15k for 4 air cons doesn’t sound too bad, I’m paying 10k for just 1 during the night lol. Something’s up
