Sugar Industry’s Bold E20 Push For Energy Security

Georgealbert · 4 hours ago4 hr

Thailand’s sugar industry has urged the government to adopt Gasohol E20 as the country’s primary fuel, aiming to strengthen energy security and cut crude oil imports by more than 1 billion litres annually. The proposal, announced on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, would nearly double ethanol demand while increasing income for over 420,000 farming families. Industry leaders say the move would also support Thailand’s net zero goals through expanded use of biomass energy. Get today's headlines by email

Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · 18 hours ago18 hr

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta

HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · 11 hours ago11 hr

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 9 hours ago9 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM1 day

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · 1 hour ago1 hr

The way people walk may reveal more about their emotions than previously understood, according to new research that highlights how subtle changes in movement can signal how someone is feeling. Scientists found that the swing of a person’s arms and legs plays a key role in how others interpret their emotional state, with observers able to detect feelings such as anger, sadness and fear from walking patterns alone. Movement as emotional expression The study suggests that walking — a routine and la

Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · 20 hours ago20 hr

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome
Good dental treatment and DTV : advices and experiences welcome

anotherfarangishere · 22 hours ago22 hr

Hi everyone, I have many cavities, and since I lost a tooth a year ago, I also need an implant. From what I’ve read, there is no issue obtaining a DTV as long as you have an official letter detailing the dental treatments to be carried out, especially when applying through the Thai embassy in Hanoi. I already have contacts at dental clinics in Bangkok, where I live, that are well aware of the visa issue — BIDC, Thantakit — but since these are real “gas factories,” I’m looking for alternatives
