Fuel Prices Rise 6 Baht Per Litre as Subsidies Cut
Fuel Shortage
Fuel Prices Rise 6 Baht Per Litre as Subsidies Cut

Georgealbert · 5 hours ago5 hr

The Fuel Fund Management Committee, late on 25 March, approved a reduction in subsidies for diesel and petrol, leading to a 6 baht per litre increase in retail fuel prices. PTT announced that the increases will start from 05:00 on 26 March. The move comes amid rising global oil prices and is expected to have an immediate impact on transport costs and household expenses. Authorities said the adjustment is necessary to stabilise the country’s fuel pricing system. Get today's headlines by email

Thailand Ride-Hailing Rules Tighten From March 31

Georgealbert · 3 hours ago3 hr

Thailand will begin enforcing new rules for app-based ride-hailing services from March 31, 2026, requiring stricter checks on drivers, vehicles and digital platforms. Drivers must hold a public driving licence, vehicles must be correctly registered for public use, and platforms must verify compliance or suspend non-compliant drivers. The move is expected to increase passenger safety and standardise a rapidly growing sector. Get today's headlines by email Ride-sharing services, defined as pass

Iran Signals Limited Access to Strait of Hormuz for ‘Non-Hostile’ Shipping

Senator Proposes Law to Force Standing for Royal Anthem

Georgealbert · 3 hours ago3 hr

Senator Alongkot Vorakee has proposed amending Thai law to require citizens to stand during the royal anthem, with criminal penalties for non-compliance. The suggestion was made during a Senate session on 24 March, where Alongkot presented findings from a special committee studying ways to protect and uphold the monarchy. Get today's headlines by email The proposal addresses a legal gap in Thailand, where the national anthem is regulated by law and requires citizens to stand, but the royal an

So what brought you here — and what's keeping you?

The Cobra · Tuesday at 12:11 AM2 days

Been thinking about the different types of foreigners who end up living in Thailand long-term. You see the same recognisable patterns over and over: the retiree stretching a pension, the guy who came for a holiday and never left, the English teacher buying time, the businessman in his Bangkok bubble, the digital nomad in a café. Most labels like this feel like they were written about someone else. The retired guy who's genuinely happy and integrated into his community doesn't see himself as the

Plan-B: Moving to Montana, Soon: Best retirement plan, of all???
Plan-B: Moving to Montana, Soon: Best retirement plan, of all???

GammaGlobulin · 8 hours ago8 hr

Dear Folks, Have you recently become a bit disillusioned by your time in Asia? I am not saying that I have, particularly. However, as I age like a fine wine, I have found that, during the past few years, I have this yen to return to my roots in Montana. Must be something relevant to my need to return to nature, and forget about Pattaya, and the bar scene which originally drew me here. I have nothing against the bar scene, but, now, I am too old....and... Truth be told, these girls have a

A Free $1,000 To Blow on Subscription Services, How Would You Do It?

123Stodg · 2 hours ago2 hr

If someone handed you a free $1000 and said you could only spend it on online subscription services for the next year, how would you use it? There are so many options now across streaming, AI tools, news, productivity, and creative software that it’s easy to lose track of what actually adds value. I’m curious what people here consider “worth it” versus what feels optional or overrated. Here’s how I’d probably allocate mine: | Adobe Photoshop | Visual Design & Editing | ~$240 | | The Econo

Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)
Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)

connda · Monday at 05:30 PM2 days

This is a first for Lazada. I made an order that was delivered by Flash. Well, it "shows" delivered but it was not. The delivery supposedly happened between 21:25 and 21:27 according to Flash receipts and Lazada receipts. I pulled the video off of the security cam and nobody came to our house. The dog would have alerted me too but nobody ever came to the front gate. I've checked the signature an it's just a straight dash. Maybe the delivery driver just got tired and tossed it in the ditch

Americans in Thailand- How are you using Medicare ?
Americans in Thailand- How are you using Medicare ?

MikeWill · Tuesday at 08:36 AM1 day

OK so I've been going round in circles on this for weeks and my head is spinning. I turn 65 in a few months and the Medicare question is driving me mad. Everyone back home assumes you just sign up and that's it sorted. Nobody tells you it's basically useless if you're living outside the US — Thailand included. Found that out the hard way after spending an afternoon on the phone with Social Security. So now I'm stuck with the Part B decision. Pay the premiums every month for coverage I can't act

BNH Hospital shares a modern treatment for frequent urination

CharlieH · Tuesday at 07:40 AM1 day

Many men initially assume Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a natural consequence of getting older (e.g. waking up during the night to urinate or needing the bathroom more frequently). However, in many cases, BPH progressively becomes far more disruptive than anticipated. Constant urination can result in serious sleep deprivation, leaving patients fatigued throughout the day. Some men begin avoiding travel, meetings, or social gatherings because they worry about not finding a restroom quickl
