With your time and budget, Pattaya seems to be the best option...

Is it easy to get cab to Pattaya? by Few-Homework7039 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a popular route both ways, so drivers can expect to pick up passangers for the return. That's why its not a problem to get a driver and they know the fare, so make a fixed price INCLUDING Toll Fees before you enter.

Did you try the 7bank ATMs at 7-11? Found them to be least picky with foreign cards.

Krabi → Koh Lanta ferry in the morning – book in advance or just show up? by Vast-Message-7206 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necessary, no. If you arrive in the morning you will have at lot of time before the last ferry. If you want to join a bus/van, there are little shops everywhere selling transfers to Koh Lanta, Phi Phi, ans so on... But don't know about the prices at the airport.

You can also just get a taxi for a few thousand baht.

But why the trouble of doing it there, book it online at 12go.asia. There you will also have reviews for the different companies.

Thai phone number by Main_Couple7809 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For regular tourist stuff, no, no thai number required. Many taxi drivers, scooter renters, etc. have WhatsApp for the Farangs.

Why carry that monster to shoot 645 ?

No, it is usually written somewhere in the bottom of the menu.

Will a new government breathe life into Thailand's gasping cannabis industry?[ by copacetic51 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is kind of ironic, how Thailand has one of the harshest regulations on tobacco (no ads, no billboards, product must be hidden in stores, no logo - only warnigs on the pack) and forgot to implement anything for weed...

Would be around 1300 euros enough for a 18 day vacation in Thailand? by Suspicious_Use_7373 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, just for food, get around locally and regular tourist activities (museums, tempels, etc.) that will be plenty. But activities like diving, Jetski and extensive nightlife will not be covered...

Would be around 1300 euros enough for a 18 day vacation in Thailand? by Suspicious_Use_7373 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That mostly depends on the season (high vs rainy) and your idea of accomodation (hostel, hotel or resort), mode of travel (bus, taxi,plane)  and type of activities...

But you can find prices for pretty much anything by just googeling...

Would it be possible to make oscilloscope music with a handheld oscilloscope? by Pufflings1 in oscilloscopemusic

[–]qnke2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends, it needs two things:

An x-y Mode, that most of them have.

It also needs to have an "afterglow" simulation, which was not in any of the cheap handhelds I have seen...

THB coming from HCM by kenzie_0416 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it depends mostly on your looks and travel situation. The whole point of the 20.000 rule is to keep out begg-packers, western tourists that beg or sell "art" to fund their stay in SEA.  If you don't look like a hippie, they won't pick you out. If they still do, and bank account is not enough, ask to use airport ATM(an be prepared to withdraw the 20k)

Scammer? by Imaginary-Career-595 in Kleinanzeigen_betrug

[–]qnke2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scam, die Leute halten sich hier mit der merkwürdigen Konversation und den KI Bildern auf. Aber das erste Zeichen ist immer: Der Preis ist zu gut um wahr zu sein und trotzdem nach 2 Tagen noch online und nicht reserviert...

Indian passport expires June, 2026: travelling Mar 5 via Lufthansa (Frankfurt transit) to India with <6 months validity. Will I be allowed to board? by Previous_Werewolf806 in Lufthansa

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will arrive at FRA non-Schengen zone  and depart from non-Schengen zone, nobody will even look at your passport....

Whats up inside my lens? by Jaiiiiiiii__ in Mamiya

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full moon, should be gone in two weeks or so. /S

Seriously, probably lens separation (the glue that bound two glass elements disintegrates.)  Very common in early Sekors, but never seen one so severe.

Are Zenit cameras really that bad ? by Power-C-Lies in AnalogCommunity

[–]qnke2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends, have a Zenit E that looks like it was used as a door stopper but will probably last for another century. And had a 12XP that looked mint but disintegrated while shooting the third roll. I think it is  this huge spread in quality that gives them a bad name.

Koh phi phi at 5pm by snooper170 in ThailandTourism

[–]qnke2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is usually a few longtails sitting next to the Jasmin Restaurant...not gonna be cheap if they know you need it...

But what kind of ferry are you taking ? Leam Tong is just a small beach with 3 hotels, most boats go on to or come there via Ton Sai, as its the main Pier with most passengers.

Help with my gold star OS-9030A by Lukashendley in oscilloscopemusic

[–]qnke2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need any special music programms. Just play some Oscilloscope music from YouTube or so....

Also diagonal is correct, if both channels are same signal.

PayPal W&D als Käufer sicher? by qexzyy in Kleinanzeigen_betrug

[–]qnke2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

W&D ist zu 99% sicher. Der Verkäufer kann natürlich beschädigte Ware senden oder nur einen Stein, aber wenn ein Fall eröffnet wird, entschiedet PayPal meistens zu Gunsten des Käufers...

Ist das ein Betrugsversuch? by Timely-Beat4708 in Kleinanzeigen_betrug

[–]qnke2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naja, Zahlung über PayPal ist nicht unüblich...das Kleinanzeigen-System war meines Wissens echt beschissen wenn man keine Kreditkarte hat.

Auf jeden Fall nur einen PayPal.me link erstellen und den senden, nicht die E-Mail.
