The app offers an icebreaker game, but we skipped it because the conversation flowed easily. After the dinner An hour into the dinner, the app suggested a bar we could visit afterward. Only two people in my group wanted to get a drink. The others said they had to wake up early. The recommended bar was a 16-minute walk from Sawatdee. We went to Crooked Pint next door instead. Timeleft lets you choose who you want to connect with after dinner.

Zero decibel is the threshold for human hearing, meaning -24.9 is a whole lot of nothing.
