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 · 22 hours ago22 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 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

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?
Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · 1 hour ago1 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.

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

MikeWill · 1 hour ago1 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 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

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
