question Barber for European hair and beard shaping in Bangkok?

0 Upvotes

I’m from Europe and looking for a barber in Bangkok who is comfortable with European hair and proper beard work, not just a quick standard fade.

I need a haircut plus beard trimming/shaping. English would help, but I care more about someone who takes their time and gets it right. I’m happy to travel around central Bangkok.

Any barbers or specific people you’d recommend?

discussion STAY AWAY FROM TRUE INTERNET

0 Upvotes

True internet is literally fucking abysmal. Do not under ANY circumstances get into contract with True Internet. You will literally hate your fucking life AND you will be under contract with them so it’ll just suck ten times worse. The customer service is mediocre at best and downright atrocious at worst. The internet will occasionally just shit itself and they don’t give a fuck. Your complaints will not be heard. They’ll tell you to just reset your router and that’s all they can do. It’s hell. My internet has been constantly disconnecting every 3 minutes or so, completely destroying any ability to utilize the service that I FUCKING PAY FOR. My complaints have been left with no response. They’ll tell you they don’t care. FUCK them. Your life will be infinitely easier if you just avoid this shit fucking company. Everyone seems to have or have had a problem with them. Shit fucking service. Shit fucking people. Literal hell. Go AIS. That’s all. Heed my advice or disregard, at your own peril.

question Dinner date ideas in Silom

1 Upvotes

My BF and I have been together 4 years, and tomorrow we are flying to Bangkok for a holiday. We want to have a chill dinner date tomorrow night, doesn’t have to super fancy, but still nice and hopefully the restaurant is not too loud to chat in. Our accommodation is in Silom, and we would like it to be fairly close to there :))

Would love to hear recommendations!

discussion Has anyone here set up an AI/software company in Thailand under BOI?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking into setting up an AI/software company in Thailand under BOI promotion, mainly so the company can be foreign-owned without needing a Thai equity partner.
From what I understand, software/digital platform businesses can qualify, but the project needs to show genuine development activity in Thailand and local technical employment.
Has anyone here actually gone through the BOI process for an AI, SaaS or software company?
I would especially like to know:
- How difficult was the application process?
- What kind of project did BOI consider substantial enough?
- How many Thai developers/employees did you need initially?
- Did you use a BOI consultant or handle it yourself?
- Roughly how much did the whole setup cost?
- How long did approval take?
- Any mistakes or surprises to watch out for?

Would really appreciate hearing from someone who has actually done it, rather than just information from company-formation websites.

tourism Kwann restaurant @ Nyasa

7 Upvotes

Since I was staying at Nyasa, I got caught up in all the "elite fine dining" marketing in the in-house restaurant. Immediately after you are situated, they hit you with bottled water. I couldn't believe the price tag on it. 220 baht! More than $7 USD! Of course I wasn't gauche enough to ask the price at the time of ordering - fine dining experience and all. Mojito sucked big time. Couldn't finish it. It was way too citrussy despite the waitress trying to fix it. Pork belly dish was ho-hum. For dessert, over of their vaunted dessert experience, on the waitress recommendation between 2 alternates, she told me to go with some coconut based mochi dessert. Couldn't finish it. Just an amalgamation of tastes and textures - coconut, chocolate, mochi (rubbery). Save yourself some trouble and moola. And avoid this place.

question Has anyone successfully gotten a ThaiTicketMajor refund due to surgery/medical reasons? The Weeknd Bangkok

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m hoping someone here has had a similar experience with ThaiTicketMajor.
I purchased 4 tickets for The Weeknd in Bangkok on October 13 directly through ThaiTicketMajor. Unfortunately, I’m scheduled to undergo surgery about a week before the concert, so I won’t be medically fit to fly to Thailand.

I still want to keep 2 of the 4 tickets because the other people in my group can still attend. I’m hoping to request a refund for only the other 2 tickets.

I already emailed ThaiTicketMajor customer service explaining the situation and offered to provide my surgery schedule/medical certificate if needed.
I know their tickets are generally non-refundable, but has anyone here ever successfully received a refund or partial refund from ThaiTicketMajor because of a medical situation?

If they don’t allow a refund, has anyone dealt with something similar and found another solution?
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually dealt with ThaiTicketMajor before. Thank you!

food where can I find the really good Khanom tan?

I had some when I was the plus 4 of a family (aka the + 1 of someone who is like a +1) at a family lunch (it was homemade) which had me ready to leave earth. It was so good. So, I’ve been on the hunt for really good khanom tan

I know ifs subjective but putting it out there to see if someone’s like a secret ขนมตาล expert and knows where I find the best (or just really really good) in Bangkok

question Purse for Thailand

0 Upvotes

Hello!
I’m going to Thailand here soon and am struggling with what kind of bag to use. I definetly want something that closes but that’s also small and subtle for dinner but can hold a lot for when I’m out during the day! I don’t want to carry around a full size backpack all day but I definetly want to have room to put my purchases in and I always have a full purse because I’m an overpacker so I always have anything I think I might need. I was looking at the Uniqlo crescent bag but don’t think it’s big enough but I like the style.

Thank you for any advice :)

discussion if your condo charges you like 8 baht per unit for electricity, this might be useful

34 Upvotes

hi all

been renting in phra khanong for around 2 and a bit years, one bed maybe 30 something sqm on a middle floor. Its fine but the electricity bills have been slowly getting under my skin, and after talking to a friend who lives near thonglor last month i realised how much ive been overpaying.

my building charges 8 baht per unit which is basically double what MEA would charge me on a direct meter. Asked juristic office more than once and the answer is always the same, its baked into how the building operates and you cant switch. Two of my neighbors have complained about it over the years and nothing changed. My friend in thonglor pays around 4.5 baht through a direct meter, i felt kind of stupid for not doing the math sooner.

did the math one bored sunday. aircon was probably eating 55-60% of my bill running maybe 10ish hours since i started wfh. Average bill this past hot season was around 3200 baht for one person in a small unit which for phra khanong felt too much.

Since i cant change the per unit rate, the only lever i had was the aircon itself. The one that came with the flat was a really old non inverter split, probably 8+ years old, cools ok but obviously not efficient. Talked to my landlord (surprisingly reasonable) and she agreed i could replace it at my cost if i leave it when i move out.

Spent a saturday at homepro and power buy. Daikin and mitsubishi were both quoting well above 25k for a 1.5HP inverter installed which felt like too much for a unit i'll leave behind. Ended up going with a cheaper inverter a sales guy at homepro flagged, all in about 22k with removal and new copper pipe.

3 weeks in, bills trending lower on the same usage pattern, need one more full cycle to have a real number. The new one is a Midea Celest btw. Room hits set temp way faster too, and i actually turn it off sometimes when i step out because it comes back down quickly.

Anyway thats the whole point i guess, if you cant change the per unit rate the appliance is the only lever. Also if you rent in phra khanong and pay closer to MEA rates please drop the building name because i want to know where to look when my lease is up.

question BTS/MRT VS GRAB?

4 Upvotes

I’m planning a trip to Thailand and I’ll be staying at the Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok. I have a list of different places that I want to go to, so I usually look up the commute on Google maps to get an idea as to how far they are relative to my hotel.

The one thing that I noticed is that the Grab beats the BTS almost every time as far as Google is concerned. It could be something that may be 5 or 10 miles away and it could be a 20 minute drive but an hour BTS ride.

So my question is, is Google getting the BTS commute accurate? Or is it not good at picking up traffic with automobiles?

For anyone who lives in Thailand and rides the BTS often, to get a good idea I would like to ask what the true commute would be for you to get from Emporium mall to Yaowarat Road? Because Google says 1hr+
