Merry Christmas from Chiang Mai! 🇹🇭🎄🎉

A bit different to last year lol ⛵🐟🌊

my toxic trait is that I will always buy the weirdest flavour chips

It's Thursday so that means it's the meeting of the Bangkok people who ship stuff! 🚀

We changed intros to 10:30 this week which was much better for the lazy Bangkok people 😂

Soon we'll do demos, then spicy food and beers 🍻

When the 10th customer in a row asks if they can still get the Black Friday discount 💀

This is our weekly session of founders who ship in Bangkok - Hackumvit! 🚀

We have a morning standup where we share what were shipping today, then focus! At 5pm we demo. Then we go for spicy food + beers together 🍻

But I've got to get used to no-one being able to do anything before 11am here 😆

🚨 PSA - before you buy a cute new gTLD for your project, bear in mind that the cute ones are being overwhelmingly used for phishing scams

It will be harder to build email reputation with .xyz .shop etc - you'll go to spam

Always better to stick with .com

Last night we ordered on Grab minutes before going to sleep, and woke up to a freshly baked sourdough this morning 😋🍞

Bangkok is the best 🇹🇭♥️

I'm already bored of Black Friday emails, so I've made a blocklist for any matching emails in leavemealone.com so they don't land in my inbox 💪

AND after Cyber Monday I'll just automatically unsubscribe from all of them 🤪🙅‍♂️

People often use our domain as a "fuck you" email address 🖕

So if they don't want to receive emails from a service they're signing up for they'll use our domain

For example most recently we got an email for goaway@leavemealone.com

Is there anything interesting we could do with these stats?

Just signed a year long lease on an apartment in Bangkok! 🇹🇭🥳

It will be our first time living anywhere longer than a month in the last 8 years! 🤯

my friend is an undertaker 💀

He has to be quite careful how he says things so people don't come to the wrong conclusion 😂

After 36 years I know strongly that I'm more of a hot-spring person than an ice-bath person 🤪

Today I'm three-dozen years old! 🎁🎂

This has been the craziest most exhausting year of my life

⛵️ Sailed my own boat across an ocean
🌍 Sailed to 12 new countries
🌀 Ran away from a hurricane
🫡 Sold my boat and switched to backpack again
🎒 Visited another 7 countries by land

Next year I rest 😅

First time flying into a typhoon yesterday 😅

It was bouncy
