discussion Where are all Thai men?

97 Upvotes

I occasionally go to my office downtown and I'm always surprised about the ratio of men to women. It seems at least 70% of skilled workers are women in my office building. Walking into my own office, even more, ratio of 5:27. Walking around the mall that connects to the office, again, 70% women. I've been to my factory also in ayutthaya, again mostly women. Where are the Thai dudes hiding? They can't all be delivery drivers..

travel Phetcheburi MRT Station - luggage lockers storage

18 Upvotes

Anyone try or know much about these storage lockers at Phetcheburi Station, right across from the Makkasan ARL Station.

The yellow lockers are all outside Exit 1, and they kind of look a little beat up. Do these lockers still work? The screen was still active and working.

Any other luggage storage options in Bangkok people have used and liked?

event High schoolers running a free 12-hour hackathon in Bangkok

Post image
10 Upvotes

a few of us high schoolers here in the city are organizing Haven Bangkok, a free 12-hour hackathon backed by the nonprofit Hack Club.

If you're 13 to 18 (or have a kid who is), you spend the day teaming up with other students to build a playable game or coding project from scratch. You don't need any coding experience since we'll run beginner workshops and have mentors around to help with code, art, and music. Entry, meals, snacks, drinks, and swag are all free. You can sign up at https://haven.hackclub.com/bangkok.

We're also looking for local sponsors to help cover food, venue costs, prizes, or in-kind donations like snacks, drinks, and hardware. All of our money runs through Hack Club's public ledger, so you can see where every baht goes. If your company wants to sponsor, or if you're a developer who wants to mentor or judge, DM me or email bangkok@haven.hackclub.com.

I have to leave Thailand early and will not be present on the move out date. They will not let me do the inspection when I leave in November and say I have to wait until January, even if I'm not living here. This is the wording in my lease about the move out inspection. Can I appoint someone to represent me at the inspection?

sport & fitness Climbing / bouldering coach

3 Upvotes

Hi

Bit of an odd question but does anyone have a recommendation for a climbing / bouldering coach in Bangkok? Been climbing for a year now and feel a bit stuck. Most of the stone goat ones I met are great climbers but don't seem to have any experience in actually Coaching etc.

Trying an online program now and it's better since it has a structure to it but a real life coach will be more helpful

Appreciate any recommendations

tourism Royal barge procession 6 November

Hi BKKers Im in town for a short time and trying to figure out the best place to see the Royal barge procession on Friday. Tried to book a hotel or restaurant/bar seat but all sold out. I know there are public spots but assume some people might camp out for the best views so not sure if I should bother. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions for a foreigner on where they could get a good view? Will big screens be set up? Any local insights welcome! Thank you in advance

tourism Last 2 days here: Is this doable

0 Upvotes

I want to hit up some of these places tomorrow and possibly the next day but it would be cutting it close:

Tang bak seng antique coffee / any traditional thai breakfast places a little closer to Phrom Phong side
Hua takhe old market
Bankhunlek home cooking

How doable and worthwhile is making it to the old market?

I guess I’m just a little bit sick of the over curation of some of these newer bougie places. Although the commons was nice to see and sometimes u need that especially when it’s rainy out. Ayutthaya seems a little too much of a hike but you get what I mean. Want some old school railway riverside vibes

legal Sued after a negative review

0 Upvotes

Basically I wrote down a bad review on a massage shop since we had a very bad exp my gf and me.
now the owner went to the police to fine a complain about this.

Could this end up badly for me?

Not sure if I should worry or not.

The review was done on google maps.

long story short:
The complain is because they were asking personal questions about my gf's boobs. Where she did it, if she does the massage, even questioning if the doctor was a real doctor.

We do massage regularly and we never had to answer these kind of personal questions.
I can understand few but not this many and even questioning the doctor. We felt really bad about it, specially her and we wrote down two reviews.
One for her and one for me.

Should I be worried?

edit:
this was both reviews:

"WORST MASSAGE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

Massage itself was not that bad tbh, we got the one we wanted although it was really hard, my partner asked to be softer but the masseuse went still hard on it.
towards the end of the massage the masseuse started asking really personal questions to my parter such as:
- Where did you do boob surgery?
- How much was the surgery?
- Did you do massage on the boobs? (my gf said no, then next question was:
- Is your doctor even a real doctor? (laughed after asking this)
Among other questions.

We do massage regularly and we NEVER face this situation where they asked these kind of private questions to my parter.
After asking the questions, they also question the professionally of her doctor and clinic and then laughed.

During the massage session they were talking and my masseuse was laughing. She did a very hard massage and I was hurting I made some sounds and instead of worrying if I was alright, she started to laugh, while my parter had to ask me if I was alright (which I was)

We felt bad and we asked for a refund, we did not specify if all or partial we just asked this since we think it's only fair. They deny it and all they offered was a 10% discount for a next session, which we did not want since, again, we felt bad about it. We felt even worse when all they could do to fix this was a '10 % discount' which a discount any shop would do they kept insisting on this.
We asked for refund, never forcing since we always say that we think this is only fair. At the end they decided to give us a 290 thb discount and we pay the other 890 for 2 massage which we did not really enjoy at all.

We truly don't recommend this place, if you search around there are tons of other places where you could have a massage with a better service and better response when there are bad situations.

On a previous review made by my girlfriend, they answered with a bunch of lies, so please be aware of this since we expect the same under this review. If google ever needs to verify any of these we've got screenshots of all the chats and conversations."

"The massage was very painful and intense; sometimes their nails scratched my skin.
But the most frustrating thing was that the masseuses were chatting and laughing while I was getting my massage. They were asking intrusive questions about my breast augmentation and even said things like, "Is the doctor who did it real?" It was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. They kept asking where I had it done, boasting about the prices of other well-known clinics. I tried to stay quiet and not answer, but they kept bringing up the same topic.

I contacted the salon to explain what happened and requested a partial refund. My boyfriend and I paid 590 baht each, totaling 1180 baht. Initially, they offered to refund my 590 baht, but later the owner refused, instead offering a 10% discount for my next visit. I find this kind of discount common at other salons, even for a first-time visit, unacceptable. They insisted I come back for a second visit to fix the problem. I still don't understand why they insisted I only want a refund. A refund doesn't make me feel any better, but at least I don't regret paying for such terrible service. In the end, the salon apologized and refunded 295 baht."

Not trying to go super expensive, BBS looks like a good deal, saw somewhere 100k per year, not sure if that info is accurate.. the closest BBS school is a farther than I’d like, compared to another one that’s significantly closer, but 4-6x the price
