Giving way crash helmets - is this a good idea?
Giving way crash helmets - is this a good idea?

kwilco · Tuesday at 10:00 AM1 day

I recently have had a lot of videos, mostly made on Beach Road Pattaya of a man stopping motorcycles and hrandomly handing out crash helmets to children. It seems to me that “Helmet Heroes” Risks Missing the Point on Thai road safety. “Protecting Thailand’s Future. One Helmet at a Time.” That is the slogan of Helmet Heroes Thailand, a charity founded by Savvy Rick Brown that distributes free motorcycle helmets to children while promoting road safety awareness alongside local schools and the Roy

How Did You Actually Make It This Long in Thailand?

123Stodg · 9 hours ago9 hr

A lot of people do not really talk about this, but it is worth noting that foreigners who have successfully lived in Thailand for twenty, thirty, even forty years without completely imploding financially, emotionally, medically, legally, or spiritually usually only manage it because of a fairly simple survival formula. Call it staying below the radar, or just not being a muppet. Thailand can be an amazing place to live, but it also has a remarkable ability to punish stupidity with extraordinary

Refund of concert tickets - delayed for months
Refund of concert tickets - delayed for months

ernji · 23 hours ago23 hr

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum. My son wanted to attend the Rolling Loud concert in Pattaya last year so I purchased two tickets that came to a total of 14275 baht in May 2025. The concert was cancelled in October 2025, it was due to be held the following month. My first call was to my credit card company to try and do a chargeback but they told me I had to deal with the agency I purchased through (who I won't name). They had a refund submission form which I completed and was

Query about US expats using Medicare A and B during US visits
Query about US expats using Medicare A and B during US visits

Jingthing · yesterday at 06:13 AM1 day

Not sure if this belongs here or on the Home Country forum, so move it if I placed it incorrectly. Over the years I've heard about how some US expats use Medicare in US on trips back, as opposed to moving back. Not useful for an acute emergency but if you have a condition that perhaps requires surgery that might cost millions of baht in Thailand if uninsured, I suppose it makes sense to try this. Sometimes expats fly to Guam (particularly expats in the Philippines with a shorter flight), somet
