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 Mac book 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 Mac book 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.
This one I bought this one for the resort in Thailand in mind which can sit on top of my Nas server. I will be buying a much higher quality mini pc soon which has the ability to hook triple monitor 4k support freeing up my Mac book for other stuff. I will also need to get another monitor, I chose 24-inch monitors so that I can put them in my suitcases when I return to Thailand and will use them around the resort for CCTV monitors.

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 back in the Uk compared to Thailand We have now been back in the Uk for 20 months and it got me thinking what has been the difference between the two countries now that we seem to be recovering from the Covid era. 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, th

Understanding the future for our resort in Thailand

  Understanding the future of our resort in Thailand What does the future hold for tourism around the globe after COVID? Nobody knows really if there will be another deadly strain around the corner? So many questions and no concrete answers. How do you plan your business strategy for the future in such uncertain times? In December 2020 we opened the doors to our resort in Thailand and after 3 months we had to shut it down in first instance to foreign tourists and then 2 months later completely shut it to all guests due to COVID restrictions. We kept the staff on for a further 3 months hoping things would change but alas they didn't. Tourism is set to start returning to Thailand in mid-2022 but at what point will it get back to a normal level, and what is the new normal going to look like. So many businesses went bust and the economy around tourism almost collapsed. Staff moved away from the tourist areas and went home, resorts and hotels changed hands, Bars and nightlife areas wer

Do you Buy or Rent in Thailand, possibly buy a Condo?

 Do you Buy or Rent in Thailand, possibly buy a Condo? 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.
