Damn winter in Thailand! Time to get out the windbreaker and ride slow enough so that the headwind doesn’t cause me hypothermia. #thailand #อากาศหนาว

Welcome to the “Gentleman’s Club” at #ChamberBar in #Bangkok. Classic, refined, and deeply inviting. An exceptional blend of rustic features and polished, gentlemanly style—with us being the only customers and have the entire room to ourselves! #cigars

Just another regular night (02:00-04:00) on #khaoSanRoad. A never ending stream of new faces.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Life in #Bangkok can be hard. While hundreds of Westerners party only 50 meters away on #KhaoSanRoad, this man checks the trash before the garbage collectors in the background take it all away.

Khao San Rd., #Bangkok, #Thailand, 03:41. While many Western tourists trying to convince every Thai girl they can find to "make love" with them in their hotel room, this 12-year-old Burmese girl named Yoon strolls through the night, still carrying a far more innocent idea of what "love" truly means.

The "T" in #Thailand stands for #tuk-tuk, even at 04:00 in the early morning. Most of the drivers are chill—until you start asking about the fare, that is.

For this photo, I got my ass kicked—well, more like grabbed. In 95%, I ask the people I photograph, but sometimes it doesn't work in street photography. While kneeling to take the shot, a teenage girl behind me grabbed my ass to stop me 😅

While you & the rest of #Bangkok are sound asleep, it's the invisible but hard-working mix of #Thais and Burmese construction workers who fix the streets at 03:00 in the morning so that you can enjoy the rush-hour traffic jams in the morning with fewer potholes. You're welcome! #กรุงเทพฯ #คนงานก่อสร้าง

If during an interview I am asked to write code from scratch without ability to look things up, I’m ending the interview on the spot.

As a generalist this is way too stressful and gives me enough 🚩to not move forward with the interviewing. Might as well let me do pseudocode!
