Second Night - Bike Week

 Ujujuj, so many people and motorbikes 

😲😲😲

Which is a good thing, as Friday was almost empty. Atmosphere was great and I actually thing this might be one if the best Bike Weeks evenings I’ve been to. 

👍👍👍

The band that played, is the same band as from Fullmoon Bar however now on a big stage and great sound, they really do shine and come to life. Great!

🤘😎🤘

Wow, where else in the world do you have these menu options at a festival?!

🥳🎉🍹🍺

No worms here 🐛

 I was digging to get worms for fishing, I couldn’t find any, at my old house there were so many and big ones.

 Here … nothing?!

🧐🧐🧐

So I have taken action on it and have a built a compost as I throw lots of greens just over the fence. Let’s collect it in a compost instead. 

👍😎👍

Bricks were already laying around as garbage so I used it.

I Stumbled Upon some quotes ...

 The real luxuries in life:

• time 
• health
• a quiet mind 
• slow mornings 
• ability to travel 
• rest without guilt 
• a good night's sleep 
• calm and "boring" days 
• home-cooked meals
  
• …

I removed some quotes ... 😊

First Night - Bike Week

🍷 🍸🥃

No rain tonight 👍

Tomorrow night will be different, more people will come!

Ao Nang Bike Week

 4-5 April 2025 is Bike week at yet another location, it’s on the right side of town so good for me. 

However, weather is not in favor for the event and certainly not if rain falls. It will fast become a muddy festival. 

So big and of course … one of Thailands big rock bands will be playing here. 

Please no rain!

🙏🙏🙏

Gaah Stupidness and frustration

 My YouTube subscription ended today without a reminder … 😫

So I tried paying with my Bangkok bank Mastercard. 

No luck … why?? I don’t remember how I fix it a year ago with the card so I tried with my Swedish bankcard instead … no luck as I must pay with a bank from the country I subscribe from. 

Ok, I try Paypal, no luck, my Swedish telephone number is cancelled so I cannot login to Paypal

😡😤😠

Ok, fix a new PayPal account, no luck, I don’t have a Thai Id number 

😩😤🤯

Ok, try with Shopee, no luck, must register with Thai id number 

😡😡😡

Then after seeing a comment in a forum, from a guy in Thailand, that AIS mobile internet provider have a special offer for YouTube premium… aaaah finally some luck 🍀 

I have AIS mobile simcard and now also YouTube premium for 179 thb per month. 

Ok, so why not pay in SEK with a Swedish bank?!

Well, that will cost 149sek / month instead of  52 sek / month (179thb) as it’s cheaper here in Thailand. 

👍👍👍

This is not the first time I’ve had issues like this… ine of the dramas if living here … some things are so easy to fix, other things almost impossible which would be simple in Sweden 

😬😅😤
