Bangkok Tests On Nut Waste-to-Energy Plant
Bangkok Tests On Nut Waste-to-Energy Plant

Georgealbert · 9 hours ago9 hr

Bangkok has advanced efforts to tackle mounting urban waste by testing of the On Nut waste-to-energy plant, which is now 87% complete and has begun receiving waste for incinerator testing. The facility is designed to process 1,000 tonnes of waste per day and generate up to 30 megawatts of electricity. The move marks a shift away from landfill disposal towards energy recovery.

Netanyahu pauses strikes on Iranian gas sites after appeal from Trump

webfact · yesterday at 06:57 AM1 day

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will suspend further attacks on Iranian gas facilities following a request from US President Donald Trump, as tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East. Speaking at a press conference, Mr Netanyahu confirmed that Israel would “hold off” on targeting gas infrastructure after discussions with Washington. He also rejected claims that he had drawn the United States into the conflict, insisting Israel was acting independently. Get

Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?
Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?

CharlieH · yesterday at 03:59 AM1 day

Thailand secured fourth place in the InterNations Expat Insider survey for 2025, its strongest performance yet, cementing its status as one of the world's most attractive destinations for expats and foreign residents. During this same window, however, the country introduced tax reforms, increased living expenses, and closed loopholes that many informal long-stayers had relied upon for years. The country hasn't deteriorated as a place to live; rather, it has arguably evolved into a more discernin

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?
Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · 4 hours ago4 hr

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam

Kill or be killed, that is the question

unblocktheplanet · Thursday at 06:59 AM2 days

Death is always untimely. All of us have had the experience of losing people. Family, loved ones, partners, lovers, friends, colleagues. Accidents, disease, suicide, even murder. Every single one of them leaves a hole in our personal universe. Our world will never be the same, a jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing. The picture will never be the same again. Think about the grief of those families whose sons were killed in wars. Sometimes those devastated families who even encouraged their s

Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · Tuesday at 06:03 AM4 days

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

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · Wednesday at 12:47 AM3 days

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

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

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM5 days

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
