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

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

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

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?
Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · yesterday at 12:20 PM1 day

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand
Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM3 days

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 02:34 AM4 days

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way?

Price of sleeping tablets
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · Tuesday at 06:03 AM5 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 AM4 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 · March 16Mar 16

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
