idk, they don't label the stuff

If its below 12 burg bucks I'd buy it

you have to ask and haggle

@transience haggling is part of the fun

>go to foreign country
>still chinkshit shopping

I saw chink watches in a Pattaya mall

<:chink:323022148870602752>

by the chink brand Curren

Wait @transience how much are they selling cast iron woks for

iPhone style lighters

Flashlights

Etx

Just chink shit from ali

Fountain pens

all Curren's

This looks exactly like my local flea market, fucking chinks

Watch stall after watch stall

@transience should have gone to JJ Green

more interesting stalls

but only on weekends

@transience be a cheeky cunt and offer 400baht for a Rolex clock

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

Supreme clothing and bags everywhere too

@transience that's about €10

I think I just saw metal fidget spinners

@Tribit thats aboit how much a chink wall clock is worth

@transience left over stock from the spinner craze

Jesus, still watch shops

@johnfrum if they don't agree to it, walk away and they'll drop the price to your offer

They still made a profit and you get a cheap clock

@transience fuck that noise, go to the cookware section

I just got offered "pussy massage" by thai man with a menu of "pussy services"

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Should have said you were interpol

I just got offered another sex show

Patpong for you <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@JHWH how was it when you went

@transience i feel like that shit is fake

Buy fake rolex

<:autism:327926282639769610>

>我愛中國人
>I love xhineSe people

This is the strip club

Kek that guy has fake supreme shirt

There is fake supreme shit all over this market

God this place is depressing

@transience try to find something thats not spelled right

Idk if you can see but that sign says Super Pussy

<:aliOK:251417852156837888>

Ladyboy pussy there???

Yes

Nice

Some guy just chased me down the market and asked if I wanted a tuktuk

Some place this is

oh dear

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

you sure know how to find them

U should have said yes

Sighhh this is just depressing

@transience should have gone to Train night market ratchada instead

also absolutely do not take a tuktuk at this time and hour

yeah, they seem dodgy to begin with

“sorry I thought you were thai” after he realized I didn't understand

“you still want pussy massage?"

@transience pretty much like you right now

i was on that market too

tfw mistaken for jungle chink again

i picked up an electro shocker and turned it on

i didnt expect it to be working

i was surprised about the sound of the 20k volt

Whito piggu btfo

@transience when you see an older lady offering you pussy massage, ask her what other services she has in stock

you ll get the weirdest offers

like "needles in pussy"

I can always go again tomorrow <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

probably won't though

until i see other night markets

@Cole

🔦

please just nuke the mainland before it's too late

the day china takes over the world will be the end of civilisation

bet it'd do quite the number on your eyeballs

wholesome news from thailand 😊 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44688909

awh that's cool

@transience that's great

frying your eyeballs is technically nonlethal

🤔

I mean it's a hell of a way to go

"I got blinded by a chink with a laser rifle"

you guys heard about the shit with the LRADs too?

remember kids that laser weaponry are banned anyway against soft targets under CCW

protocol IV restricts blinding laser weapons (adopted on October 13, 1995, in Vienna)

where american embassy workers had their hearing fucked with by unknown LRADs

and thing is sure to blind if it hits face

or something like that

it only prohibits laser weapons designed to blind

``` Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness. The parties to the protocol also agree to not transfer such weapons to any state or non-state entity.[2] The protocol does not prohibit laser systems where blinding is an incidental or collateral effect, but parties that agree to it must take all feasible precautions to avoid such effects ```

this only does it as a side effect of setting you on fire

aka they cant use it if at anything if they cant prove its safety

>force population to use X-bandwidth filtering sunglasses so they can use their laser pewpew

i can see china doing this

at whatever power it's set at it might melt through the mass-produced glasses anyways

cha bu duo https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-44684315/road-collapse-caught-on-cctv-cameras-in-china

tbh i see that weapon used against security cameras and other such devices

instead of people

>aiming molotows out of peoples hands

and stuff like that

*aims laser at paper factory*

and yes @transience didn't that hit in Cuba aswell?

🤔

iirc yes

That was chink electronics

And unless the chinks are at least 4 gens ahead of everyone else in terms of battery tech they don't have shit anywhere near what they are claiming

It weighs as much as a fully loaded ak

I think there's a lot of battery power in that sucker

it says 1000 shots at 2 second bursts

i wonder how long it takes to charge each

Fully loaded ak is like 6 pounds

Thats nothing

Loaded is 4.8kg

An 18650 is 3000mAh or so and weighs 45gm

That's a lot of power my man

`It can fire more than 1,000 “shots”, each lasting no more than two seconds.`

i'm confused by the wording

does that mean each shot can be 2 seconds

And it would explode in high discharge applications unless a good chunk of that was heat mitigation

or 1000 shots maximum at shortest duration

I thought my google was sperging out with dates at first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_calendar

Let's talk light guns and laser weapons that cause cancer in <#189467888657235970> thanks

turns out, thai years are 543 years ahead

I think it fires for two seconds, then charges.

@transience it does that on their windows too

taiwan has minguo years (years since the founding of republic of china) but i think google still uses gregorian calendar, which seems used in day to day life anyway

it's just official stuff and receipts that seem to use minguo years

How backwards, someone needs to come by again and introduce the year of our lord to the heathens

minguo is usually only used for government stuff

because it was mandated a long time ago and now it's a matter of legacy support in terms of records keeping

modern businesses will use western dating

some things like expiration dates are still in minguo

although it varies, some use it and some don't

all the stuff i bought today from familymart, for example, uses western dating

my 7-11 receipts were in minguo iirc

i think all the lottery receipts are?

just pulled a few out

nope

all my 7-11 and familymart receipts are the modern format

>he plays the lotto

no, i don't believe he does

all the receipts you're given in taiwan carry with them a lotto number

you can scan them with an app and win money

Oh, thats lond of weird but neat

it was done to encourage tax compliance

even the old-style long and straight non-digital receipts that don't have QR codes that i just looked at

they use western dating

the actual receipt material, though, that the receipt is printed on

it uses minguo dating

to specify the lotto period

minguo on this familymart receipt

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

oh right

i'm looking right below it

there should be a western date as well on the receipt

that minguo date only specifies the lotto period

@johnfrum you basically play the lottery every time you buy something in taiwan

the specific time you were issued the receipt is written below, in western dating

in your case that receipt indicated minguo 107th year, lotto period may-june

yea i realised

what's the app to scan them btw?

there should be an official government one

Isn't gambling addiction an epidemic in China

i don't bother with scanning

What are the payouts like?

few dollars

i hear you usually scan dozens or hundreds before you win anything

Yeah, that sounds like a lottory all right. But it is a clever solution that is largely voluntary and self enforcing

the grand prizes themselves pay out millions

of NT

most common prize is like 200NT

i've heard a few times of my family members winning 1000NT

how much is that

$30

a million NT is like 24k GBP I think

32,727.87 USD

also, our country does something similar but only for markets/street sellers

okay, the biggest prize is 10 million NT

to encourage people to ask for receipts and stuff

so that's not a bad chunk of change

@Tribit Train and JJ doesnt seem to be open until Thursday

any good ones that open on a Tuesday?

oh wait, maybe JJ is open? <:thonkang:327933449597878312>

nvm google says it's shut till thursday too

@transience so when you going back?

Or will you extend your stay

depends, i technically have three flights to change in this case

otherwise, ill be going back around june next year too

but maybe a bit earlier

@transience

ill have to depart on the 10th if we're sticking with my original schedule

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

maybe both google and tripadvisor are wrong then

suppose it cant hurt to take a look

It's from their Facebook page

Mon–Sun
5:00 PM–12:10 AM

nice

I will go tomorrow, after temples

which temples

golden buddha, arun, and depends what is nearby

is wat pho inside the actual grand palace? (i.e. you have to pay to get in)

i hope the temples wont be too overrun by chinks though

@van ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ not <#248100475054850050>

I think those thai red bulls are super effective

it's almost 3 am and I'm wide awake

only had 2 bottles

@plasticsword a little too effective and yes I had the same

It was my first time going to lidl as an Asian

how was it

*only* 2 bottles 🤔

i had two bottles too

it is 3am in thailand

so there is that

ye I feel like sleep is an option at this point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8OCR1suKcs

she is 100% right

why are the chinks holding coupons in the air

because they are dogs who like to flaunt their money

Fuck me, man

tfw rather get mistaken for thai (it happens) than for chink

How high a Hong Kongian is in this hierarchy

Hong Konger*

High enough to look down on mainland chinks

and they do

Is hongkong above or under taiwan chink?

It depends how you look at it, I guess

Hong Kong is a fast paced society and service staff can be a bit shit because of that, from what I heard

Taiwan work culture isn't great either but the people somehow managed to not be bitter despite not a great work life

the latter seems more easy going in general

Not counting the service industry, HK people generally seem polite

way better than mainland chinks

a lot can actually into English too, although it's not guaranteed
