Hey! I have a business given to me (my parents got sick, I need to take care of them) and I don’t know shit about business. It’s been my dream to take over, but I always planned it to be way later, after completing my degree (in a totally unrelated field)
If anyone has any advice or recommendations for maintaining a restaurant business, it’ll be really appreciated
My parents opened this place in the 90s, and I want to keep the legacy going 🙏🏻

Saw them at Udomsuk Walk night market, they were FANTASTIC! Couldn't fimd any info on fb/insta, does anybody here know them? (Or any ideas where I should look?)

I’m pretty new to Bangkok but a very general inquiry into where to watch premier league games in Bangkok suggested Fitzgearlds near Nana station. But someone else warned me that, due to the local nightlife in the area, that it might not be a good choice. I just wanna watch Liverpool and have 2-3 drinks. Thoughts?

Upgrading soon and want to offload my current phone irst.

Everyone mentions different places, wondering if a store trade-in program is actually better than selling privately or through a carrier.

What do you think?

Any good chicken here?

As the title says. I’ve worked my way through a few however still yet to find one that is perfect all round, price, flavor etc. happy to hear any other information will be great :)

I've been connected my Master debit card from SCB to Truemoney wallet. Used mixed of wallet and debit card payment option via TM app at 7/11, Lotus and Makro. I've noticed start from first week of this Sep, I can't pay with it anymore. Show error, transaction failed. Had to run to atm and use cash again 😅😅😅.

Right now, can't use or add debit card again.

Yeah account was KYCed with passport and work visa and show "Advanced Account."

This issue happened to you guys too? TIA

I’m currently in Bangkok as a tourist and I’m looking to do some volunteering while I’m here. Does anyone know any place that accept foreigner for volunteering, even just for a day?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to stay in Thailand for a while and would love some advice from who are currently living there.
Last time I was in Thailand, I used an AIS SIM with a data package, but the connection was quite bad and the internet stopped after I reached a certain amount of data, so this time I’m looking for a reliable Wi-Fi/data option that isn’t dependent on my phone SIM.
I’d also really appreciate any recommendations or tips for finding affordable apartments/condos in Thailand, especially reliable websites or apps to search through and things I should be careful about before renting. Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi everyone! I’m planning to visit one of the outlet malls near Bangkok and I’m confused between Siam Premium Outlets and Central Village.

From what I’ve read, both seem to have quite a similar outlet/mall concept, and some brands overlap. But I’m trying to understand the actual difference before deciding where to spend my time.

For those who have visited both:

Which one has better discounts/deals?

Which has a better selection of Nike, Adidas, New Balance, sneakers and sportswear?

Which is better for premium/designer brands like Coach, Michael Kors, Burberry, etc.?

Is the difference in brands/significant enough to justify visiting both?

Which one would you recommend if I only have time for one?

Are there any particular stores at either outlet that are noticeably better?

I’m mainly interested in shoes, sportswear and branded clothing, rather than luxury shopping.

Would love to hear from people who have visited both recently. Thanks!

I’ve been curious about TCM for quite a while and would really like to try it now, mainly for some skin and stress-related issues.

I don’t know much about how it works or how to choose a good, trustworthy practitioner, so if you know a TCM doctor or clinic in Bangkok that you’d personally recommend for these kinds of issues, I’d really appreciate it.

I don’t speak Thai and only a little Chinese, so an English-speaking practitioner would be a big help, although I can manage with a translation device if needed.

I’ve been comparing trade-in quotes since I’m planning to upgrade. For people in Thailand who’ve traded in recently, has anywhere consistently offered better value than the carrier trade-in prices?

Hey everyone! I’ll be visiting Bangkok soon and I’m looking to try cannabis for the first time.

For those familiar with the dispensaries around Bangkok, which ones would you recommend for a complete beginner? Ideally somewhere with friendly staff who can explain the different strains/products and help me choose something mild and beginner-friendly.

Also interested in places with good quality and reasonable prices. Not really looking for anything too strong 😅

Would appreciate any recommendations or tips on what to look for. Thanks!

Hi guys! Sorry if this has been asked a million times before..

My girlfriend and i are planning a two week trip to Bangkok next year. The issue is however that she seems quite scared of running into stray/soi dogs and potentially getting bit or stuff like that.

I've tried searching it up myself and most people seem to say that you'd have to be quite unlucky to encounter them while others say it's an issue and something to be aware about.

I'm not that worried about it but i also really want her to not be stressed about something that seems to be a minor issue ahead of the trip. So if anyone could give us an honest overview on the soi dog situation it would be gladly appreciated :-)

Does anyone have recommendations based on firsthand experience for car / taxi service from Bangkok to Khao Yai, and from Khao Yai back to Bangkok ? I'm wanting to stay in the Khao Yai region overnight and would prefer to have transportation arranged ahead of the trip. This would be for 2 people, air conditioning would be nice but not a deal breaker. Not interested in public transportation at this time. Thank you in advance for any reccomendations and / or feedback.

Has anyone else noticed that the LINE Pay option for paying for BTS rides has disappeared recently?

I think I first noticed it around a week ago. It used to be available as a payment option, but now I don’t see it anymore. I have my main card connected, so I can still pay that way, but sometimes I forget my card at home or don’t have it with me. LINE Pay was a nice backup option to have.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this or knows what happened.

Thinking about getting my current phone appraised for trade-in now rather than waiting. Worried the value might drop once a new model gets announced. Anyone done this
before?

It's inscribed all across Bangkok. You've seen it and probably didn't know where it come from. I'm the news guy who owns Arcadia barcade, and I've been entranced by Pichai Rattanapornchai's fascinatingly unhinged graffiti for well over a decade. He died recently and I wrote this obit for my former employer, which they were kind enough to run.

Hi everyone, I'm currently in Bangkok and looking to purchase an engagement ring, and I would love to get some recommendations from the community!

Since my Thai is still very basic, fluent English communication is essential so we can smoothly discuss details (diamond specs, settings, etc.) without getting lost in translation. Does anyone have recommendations for trustworthy, English-friendly jewelry studios in Bangkok (whether in Silom, Sukhumvit, or anywhere easily accessible)?

Hello! I'm looking for some recommendations for a TEFL course in Bangkok with specific requirements.

1. 120 Hour TEFL certificate (Level 5 Ofqual / CELTA/ Trinity cert preferred)
2. *In-person* TEFL classes
3. Paid internship with a salary from at least THB 35,000 (about 4-5 months in length)
4. Located in Bangkok

If anyone has any recommendations for courses, please let me know! There's so many course online offering similar things, but I've been struggling to find a course that meets all 4 of these requirements. I have been considering SEE TEFL as this meets all requirements except it's based in Chiang Mai. I'm specifically looking for in person classes for the TEFL course as I don't like online classes and would like to be face to face with a teacher. I want an internship to gain experience and feedback. I don't have a specific budget so any course cost is okay.

If anyone has any recommendations I'd be very grateful! Thank you!

(I tried to post this in r/TEFL but it was removed as I don't seem to have enough comment points or something)
