Proposed Plans Cut to Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days
Proposed Plans Cut to Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days

Georgealbert · 3 hours ago3 hr

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

European Investors Prefer Vietnam Over Thailand in ASEAN

European companies are increasingly favouring Vietnam over Thailand for investments in Southeast Asia, driven by trade deals and political stability. Thailand remains competitive, but political uncertainty is seen as a constraint on attracting further foreign investment.

Thai Baht Set to Weaken Amid Middle East War
Thai Baht Set to Weaken Amid Middle East War

Georgealbert · 2 hours ago2 hr

The Thai baht is expected to weaken further as the escalating Middle East war and delayed US interest rate cuts put pressure on the currency. On March 20, PPTVHD36 reported that the baht had already fallen to just above 32.80 per US dollar, its weakest level in five months. Analysts forecast the currency will remain in a range of 32.60 to 33.10 against the dollar over the next month. Get today's headlines by email The downward trend is being driven by intensifying conflict in the Middle East,

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

The Cobra · 21 hours ago21 hr

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 foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · 11 hours ago11 hr

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

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 09:34 AM3 days

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?

CharlieH · Friday at 10:59 AM1 day

Thailand secured fourth place in the InterNations Expat Insider survey for 2025, its strongest performance yet, cementing its status as one of the world's most attractive destinations for expats and foreign residents. During this same window, however, the country introduced tax reforms, increased living expenses, and closed loopholes that many informal long-stayers had relied upon for years. The country hasn't deteriorated as a place to live; rather, it has arguably evolved into a more discernin

Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · Tuesday at 01:03 PM4 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 07:47 AM3 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 · Monday at 10:42 AM5 days

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
