Food Costs Soar in Thailand Despite Price Control Plans
Food Costs Soar in Thailand Despite Price Control Plans

snoop1130 · 3 minutes ago3 min

Consumers in Thailand are experiencing increased pressure from escalating living expenses, driven primarily by soaring fresh food prices. The costs of pork, chicken, and eggs have particularly surged, impacting household budgets significantly. These price hikes occur amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have led to higher energy costs and disrupted global supply chains, despite the Commerce Ministry's assurance that no controlled goods have raised prices and price controls are st

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

The Cobra · Saturday at 02:43 AM2 days

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

Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start
Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start

MikeWill · 6 hours ago6 hr

Been here a few years now, married to a Thai, living outside a city with no expat bubble to fall back on. My Thai is embarrassing. Point at things, smile, hope for the best. I'm done with that. The problem is every time I try to figure out where to start, I get pulled in different directions. Some people say learn to read first — that the script teaches you the correct tones and stops you developing bad habits from romanised phonetics. Others say just get out there and speak, mistakes and all,

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · 6 hours ago6 hr

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe

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
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · March 17Mar 17

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
