My Current Equipment Setup here in the UK



My Current Equipment here in the UK



Since moving back to the UK, what am I using and why, When I flew out of Thailand the most important item I packed was my Apple Macbook Pro M1 2020 laptop. For those who don't know Apple has in my opinion always been the best laptop for high-end editing, design, and photo work and in 2020 they made a huge leap with their new M1 chips which replaced the third-party Intel chips. The difference is amazing and now that I have had this laptop for over a year I can honestly say it is the best laptop I have ever owned. At the time I purchased it, there was only the 13-inch model available but recently Apple released a 16-inch beast and a 14-inch version with even higher specs than mine. If you are ever going to need a high-end laptop for editing or photo work then get one of these models, you won't regret it.

The next item I brought with me from Thailand was my Apple Trackpad, this replaces a mouse and if you are always using a desk I find it so much more comfortable to use and allows for so many more Apple gestures to be used than the Magic Mouse.

One of the things I find makes my life easier is bigger screens and currently, I have two of these Dell 24-inch displays, one hooked up to my Macbook and the other hooked up to my new mini pc. The problem with the Macbook is that you can only hook it up to a single external monitor unless you start buying docking stations and USB adapters which are quite expensive and not all of them work.

The new mini pc market is exploding at the moment and it is amazing what you can get in such a small box. In my opinion, the Beelink made in China is the best choice for mini PCs.

Next up is a Logitech Mini keyboard, by far the best wireless mini keyboard on the market and can be used simultaneously on 3 devices. This allows me to use it on my Mac book one second and then press a button and use the same keyboard on the mini pc brilliant piece of kit.

Life in the UK compared to Thailand

Life in the UK compared to Thailand The biggest differences have to do with the seasons, climate and vibe.  When you live in Thailand it takes about two years to get used to the heat and humidity, Our house is South of Bangkok and averages 31 degrees over the year. In summer it rises to 45 degrees and in the rainy season, it drops to about 28 degrees. Living in that heat wears you down and changes the way you spend your days, going out early in the morning and dodging into air-con rooms mid-afternoon.  Here in the UK, it's totally different as the temperatures are completely different and range from -5 degrees in the Winter to 30 degrees in the Summer.  This leads me to the seasons and if I am honest whilst living in Thailand, I really missed the four seasons in the UK. Thailand really only has two, the Summer and rainy seasons. This is something you really need to consider if you are thinking about moving to Thailand. One thing that is really a huge difference and I felt...

Thailand Hotels

  Thailand Hotels This page will show you information about the hotels and whether I recommend them. You can click each picture which will then take you to the Agoda page for more information and give you current prices and availability. It might take me quite a while to fill this page as every hotel brings back a memory and that is a story in itself. Hyatt Regency Hotel Hua Hin My favourite hotel in Hua Hin.

Buy or Rent a Condo in Thailand?

Buy or Rent a Condo in Thailand? A question or type of question I get a lot by email on a regular basis, do I buy or rent and if I buy, what do I buy. Then can I own a property in Thailand? Rather than go into a long discussion just have a look at these videos that I made for our YouTube channel.  This video has had over 70,000 views and hundreds of comments.  Another great video but to my surprise only got 22,000 views. A must-watch if you are serious about buying or building in Thailand. The subject of buying or building in Thailand must be the biggest topic for a foreigner thinking of retiring to Thailand at first and then of course the topic soon turns to Visas but that is another post.
