I'm considering enrolling in a Thai language school in Bangkok and I'm trying to decide between AUA and Duke. I've heard that Duke is very fast-paced, but it has longer school days.

I've noticed two guys walking around on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok, approaching people and pointing at their heads or hair. They seem to be trying to start a conversation, but it looks like a scam. Does anyone know how this scam works and what they're trying to get people to do?
I've seen a PS5 for sale on Lazada and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it.

I'm trying to get a laptop outside of full payment while living in Bangkok, but it seems a credit card is necessary for installments. I'm wondering if there are any shops that offer this or if there are alternative options.
