Thailand Plans Mega Cruise Ports to Boost Tourism

Georgealbert · 5 hours ago5 hr

Thailand is accelerating plans to develop new cruise terminals on both its Gulf and Andaman coasts, aiming to strengthen its position in cruise tourism and increase visitor numbers. The Transport Ministry confirmed discussions with Royal Caribbean Group (RCG), which is targeting 120,000 visitors to Thailand this year through more than 45 cruise calls. The initiative is expected to ease port congestion and improve the country’s ability to handle large cruise vessels. Get today's headlines by ema

Proposed Plans to cut Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days

Georgealbert · Saturday at 08:44 PM1 day

Thailand’s Foreign Affairs Ministry is preparing to propose reducing visa-free entry from 60 days to 30 days, aiming to close a loophole exploited by foreign scammers and criminal groups. The move, reported on March 20, 2026, is intended to curb misuse of the current policy while maintaining tourism flows. Foreign tourists would still be able to extend their stay by an additional 30 days. Get today's headlines by email The proposal follows a review by the ministry’s visa committee, which foun

Trump draws backlash over reaction to Mueller’s death

webfact · 20 hours ago20 hr

President Donald Trump has sparked strong criticism after publicly welcoming the death of former FBI director Robert Mueller. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” The remark quickly drew condemnation from political figures and commentators across the spectrum.

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

The Cobra · Saturday 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

Scouse123 · 14 minutes ago14 min

Hi, As promised, an update. I exited Thailand on Match 14th via the e gates at DMK. I am on DTV visa, I went through with my passport, no exit stamps, no worries. Furthermore, I returned to Thailand March 17th, and entered the country without any issues. My Visa status was obviously in the Thai immigration system. I had also done the DTAC online and went fully armed for any immigration questions, he simply waved me through. So, it is a worry as we age, and we have always used and got

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · Saturday 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

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 AM5 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
