[forgive-and-take]

Translation of this Hakyun interview for @jingooism ! Please feel free to drop recs or requests - I have very few fandom skills, so I'm happy to help out however I can. :)

Hi, I'm Shin Hakyun. I'm here in Ko Samui, Thailand, for a WWD photoshoot. I flew Air Singapore and arrived last night after a 12-hour layover in Singapore. It's my first time in Ko Samui. The environment is really nice and the weather is good, and it's quiet and cozy - it's great.

I'm going to try the "random card" interview now.

1) Pick one of the cards, which have different random keywords on them.

2) Answer a question related to the keyword written on the chosen card!

#Style: What's your ordinary travel style? (Rest vs. Downtown)

It's different each time. If filming was tough, there are times I'll come to a quiet island like Ko Samui and just rest. There are also times I want to walk a lot. So I choose to stay in a city sometimes, too.

#Destination: What destination would you like to travel to again?

They've all been good, but something a little disappointing was, I went to Iceland once and I wanted to travel all the way around the island, but then I had to film something suddenly, so I couldn't. So I'd like to go again. Next time, I'd like to go all the way around.

Is there a destination you found difficult?

Somewhere difficult? I think even difficult things can be fun in their own way. So there's nowhere I've really disliked. Things can be fun depending on how you look at them.

#Place: Is there a place you always have to go wherever you travel to?

I like the supermarket. I do the shopping at home, too. When I travel, I like to find the markets the locals go to.

#Item: What's an item you always take with you when you travel?

I like music, so I turn this on in my room or in the shower. A headband. I need this when I wash my face or put on lotion. Tablet. When I'm waiting on the plane, I often watch movies or dramas.

What apps do you use the most?

Apps where I can watch videos or listen to music.

#Routine: What's your personal routine that you follow when you travel?

I don't have one. (True INFP) It depends on how things go and how I feel. If I feel good, I do lots, and if I don't, I rest.

#Luxury: Are there any little luxuries you like to enjoy when you travel?

I eat well. When I travel, I try lots of different things.

What is Tom yum kung to Shin Hakyun?

Something I want to eat in the mornings after drinking alcohol?

#Plan: Is there somewhere you're planning to visit?

I'm thinking of going golfing. In Vietnam, I'm close with someone who does golf training. I'll go practice and spend a nice time with them.

Do you play a lot of golf?

I don't go at all when I'm working on a project, but when I'm done filming, I go a lot. Three or four times a week as exercise.

The weather's been good and I think the photos came out well. Please look forward to the feature. Thank you.

Featured Character #184: Samui for @leafykid87! I had to finish this was lasso tool and mouse hehe.

[mycochaotix]

Hey mycopals!

New Year, new projects! That means more, interesting and diverse MCX supplies around the corner! This year I plan to revamp my Patreon subscriptions, and for those who don’t know, my Instagram was banned for “drug use“ which is ridiculous but whatever. I am now posting on Reddit and being more engaged on discord and Patreon in lieu of Instagram.

Our MCX mycocommunity discord has bloomed to about 39 mycopals! If you are queer,non confirming, otherwise an ‘ally’ who happens to be a mycopal, please join us! Message me here or discord for invite link!

Reminder for my main link list: linktr.ee/mycochaotix

——————————

Summary and project codes:

E10 - KSAT x Nutcracker - Yoshi (retry) (context: have tried to use the swab before and did not get germination using again at this time using two variations of swap patterns, as well as petal inoculation techniques

F3 - APE - ITW (LC droplet inoc.) (context: I have a very potent and unique specimen isolate for APE already (my a2-2 chonk). That specimen originated from PGT. As such that specimen was first researched by me three years ago. So I thought it was fitting to try out ITW’s isolation of the strain. Who knows what phenotypes I may find :-)

F4 - KSSS - ITW (mss droplet inoc) (context: I don’t know much about this strain. A cursory search on ITW yields:

“Koh Samui Super Strain is another unique cubensis discovered by John Allen on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. This is the second largest island in Thailand, and is famed for its large dense rainforests, which are ideal environments for naturally grown magic mushrooms. Ryche Hawk from Hawseye graciously funded the trip where John discovered this strain, and we owe homage to his generous donation towards furthering the cubensis gene pool.

Koh Samui drops dense purple spores and features the classic golden cap look that we all know and love.”

F5 - FCPE - ITW (LC droplet inoc) (context: I don’t know much about this strain. A cursory search on ITW yields:

“Franks Cock Penis Envy isolate comes from the very first tub of pe genetics from sporeworks that PMG ever had the pleasure to work with. He ran it completely multi-spore, injecting directly to grain (something he hadn’t done in years). PMG was looking for a good clone like we do, and one of the very first fruits came up fast and had a great look to it. He figured it was the first of plenty so went ahead and dried it! However, after all the flushes were finished, PMG realized it was that first fruit that spoke to him the most, but it has now been dried for a month. Not letting this hold him back, PMG took a plate that had a little condensation on it and left some tissue from the dried fruit on it to grab moisture and start shoring hyphae. To his surprise, he was able to save it! Thus came the name Frankensteins cock, as this PE was brought back to life! It’s a great fruiter and unlike most Penis envy, FCPE has tons of spores! Frankenstein Cock Penis Envy is a fantastic isolation for anyone looking to expand their PE library.”

F6 - Yeti - ITW (swab and petal inoc) (context: I don’t know much about this strain. A cursory search on ITW yields:

“The Yeti strain was first discovered by mycologist Jik Fibs, and has quickly gained massive popularity in the genetics community. Yeti is one of many isolations of true albino teacher, a family which includes fan favorites such as Ghost Spore Swabs, Wombat TAT Spore Swabs, and Jack Frost Isolated Syringes.”

E7 - Omni-blob -mutant’-pheno - my efforts at salvaging specimen samples from the mutant tubs from the last few months

E9 - Omni-blob - brain’-pheno - grocery search on Yoshi‘s diner store site for Omni only yielded Omni blob and so I believe that the wedges I received, I may have misread. Either way both of these cultivars in mine are Omni blogs, but I believe that they are two separate phenotype isolate. As I work with these plates and then go out again, I will be able to know.

Update on end of life observation project:

I also sundown my research project on senescence of our mushroom producing fungal organisms. I realized, bringing in the new year: that I have been observing and documentong these specific inoculated organisms as they fruit and wither and reclaim themselves then repeat a few times, until no fruit body or vegetative, mycelium growth was noted in addition to the mycelial surface turning blue and peppermint, smell emitting at cessation of observable growth- consistent across all specimen cultivars. I took fancy high-quality photos of them before I disposed of them and plan to upload them here soon!

Mush love in this new, wild year mycopals!

III. Factors to Consider When Buying a Villa

When considering the purchase of a villa in Thailand, there are several important factors that prospective buyers should take into account. Understanding these elements can help ensure a smooth buying process and a satisfying investment.

A. Legal Considerations for Foreign Buyers

One of the first aspects to address is the legal framework surrounding property ownership in Thailand, particularly for foreign buyers. Although foreigners can own a villa in Thailand, there are specific regulations to navigate. For example, foreign buyers are allowed to own up to 49% of a condominium building but cannot own land directly. Therefore, many opt for leasehold agreements or set up a Thai company to facilitate land ownership. It’s crucial to consult with a legal expert who specializes in Thai real estate to ensure compliance with local laws and to understand the implications of different ownership structures.

B. Budgeting for Purchase and Maintenance

Budgeting is a vital component of Buy villa in Thailand. Beyond the initial purchase price, buyers should factor in additional costs such as transfer fees, taxes, and legal fees, which can add up to a significant amount. Furthermore, ongoing maintenance costs should also be considered. These may include property management fees, utilities, insurance, and regular upkeep, particularly if the villa is intended to be a rental property. Creating a comprehensive budget will help buyers avoid unexpected financial burdens and ensure that their investment is sustainable in the long term.

C. Evaluating Villa Amenities and Features

When selecting a villa, it’s essential to evaluate the amenities and features that will best suit your lifestyle and investment goals. Villas in Thailand come with a range of offerings, from private pools and gardens to proximity to beaches and local attractions. Consideration should also be given to the villa’s layout, size, and condition. Are you looking for a modern design or a traditional Thai style? Additionally, buyers should assess the potential for rental income if they plan to use the property as an investment. Properties with desirable features such as ocean views or easy access to tourist hotspots often have higher rental demand, making them more lucrative in the long run.

In summary, taking the time to understand the legal landscape, budget accordingly, and evaluate the specific features of potential villas will significantly enhance the experience of buying a property in Thailand. By carefully considering these factors, buyers can make informed decisions that align with their personal and financial objectives.

IV. The Buying Process for Villas in Thailand

Buying a villa in Thailand can be a rewarding investment, but understanding the buying process is crucial to ensuring a smooth transaction. Here, we will outline the essential steps involved in purchasing a villa, from finding a reliable real estate agent to finalizing the purchase agreement.

A. Finding a Reliable Real Estate Agent

The first step in your villa-buying journey is to find a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate agent. A good agent can provide invaluable insights into the local market, help you navigate the complexities of property law, and guide you through the entire purchasing process. Look for agents with a solid track record and positive reviews from previous clients. It’s beneficial to choose someone who specializes in villas and has an understanding of your specific needs and budget. Ensure that your agent is fluent in both English and Thai to facilitate smooth communication.

B. Conducting Property Inspections

Once you’ve identified potential villas, the next step is to conduct thorough property inspections. This stage is vital in assessing the condition of the villa and identifying any potential issues that may require attention. It is advisable to hire a professional inspector who is familiar with Thai properties to ensure a comprehensive evaluation. During the inspection, pay close attention to the structural integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, and the overall condition of the property. Additionally, consider the villa’s surrounding environment, including access to amenities like shops, restaurants, and beaches.

C. Finalizing the Purchase Agreement

After selecting the villa you wish to purchase, you will need to finalize the purchase agreement. This legally binding document outlines the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, payment schedule, and any contingencies. It is crucial to have a legal professional review the agreement to ensure that your rights are protected and that the contract complies with Thai property laws. Be prepared to pay a deposit to secure the property, which typically ranges from 5% to 10% of the purchase price. Once the agreement is signed, you will enter a due diligence period during which you can verify all legal documentation related to the property, such as land titles and ownership history.

Navigating the buying process for villas in Thailand requires careful attention to detail and a solid understanding of local regulations. By following these steps and working with experienced professionals, you can make informed decisions that align with your investment goals.

V. Conclusion: The Future of Villa Investments in Thailand

As the global real estate market continues to evolve, Thailand remains a beacon of opportunity for investors seeking to acquire villas in a tropical paradise. With its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and welcoming environment, the appeal of owning a villa in Thailand is multifaceted.

Looking ahead, several factors suggest that investing in Thai villas will remain a rewarding endeavor. Firstly, the Thai government has shown commitment to enhancing foreign investment, which has led to numerous infrastructure developments and improvements in connectivity across the country. These advancements not only bolster property values but also enhance the overall quality of life for residents and tourists alike.

Moreover, the growing trend of remote work has shifted the perspective on real estate investment. Many individuals are now seeking second homes or vacation properties where they can enjoy both leisure and productivity. The allure of a villa in Thailand, with its stunning scenery and vibrant lifestyle, positions it as an attractive option for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Additionally, the tourism sector in Thailand is gradually rebounding, following the challenges posed by global events such as the pandemic. As international travel resumes, the demand for short-term rentals and vacation homes is expected to surge, further driving the villa market. Investors can take advantage of this trend by acquiring properties in prime locations that cater to tourists seeking luxurious accommodations.

In conclusion, the future of villa investments in Thailand looks promising, characterized by an appealing combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and economic potential. For those considering this investment opportunity, it is essential to remain informed about market trends, legal considerations, and the unique characteristics of each region. With careful planning and the right approach, investing in a villa in Thailand can not only provide a beautiful retreat but also prove to be a sound financial decision for years to come.
