US steps up strikes on Iranian mine vessels as Hormuz blockade disrupts oil trade

webfact · Friday at 07:49 AM1 day

The United States has intensified military operations targeting Iranian vessels suspected of laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as efforts continue to counter a blockade that has disrupted global energy supplies. Speaking at the Pentagon, General Dan Caine said US forces had destroyed 44 Iranian boats believed to be involved in deploying mines. The vessels are seen as a key part of Tehran’s strategy to restrict movement through the narrow waterway, a vital route for around a fifth of th

British teenagers stranded overseas as new dual nationality passport rules take effect

webfact · 3 minutes ago3 min

A growing number of British teenagers and families have been left stranded abroad following new UK border rules requiring dual nationals to present a British passport when travelling back to the country. The cases have sparked concern among affected families, who say the changes were introduced without sufficient warning or transition time.

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

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM2 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

Why is the Travel Industry Often a Big Ripoff?
Why is the Travel Industry Often a Big Ripoff?

BigLek · 29 minutes ago29 min

A friend of mine booked a package tour for next month with a major tour operator a few months ago. Last week, his wife had forgotten that airline tickets were already included in the booking. So she went online and, I am guessing, typed one of the airline names she wanted to fly with into an online search. What she ended up with was a toll free number for some company she mistook for the airline. So she went ahead and booked tickets with them and paid, only to discover almost immediately afterwa

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

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
