Norwegian man living rough in Nonthaburi to return home

Georgealbert · 9 minutes ago9 min

A Norwegian man who spent more than two years sleeping at temples and in public areas around Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, is expected to return home after Thai immigration officers helped him contact his embassy. Odd Stian Hesseberg, 44, was located at Wat Klang Kret on 7 August after social media users raised concern about a foreign man sleeping near the Pak Kret waterfront. Immigration authorities are now coordinating with the Norwegian Embassy to arrange his return to Norway in line with Thai law.

PM Anutin rejects calls to arm teachers

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has rejected suggestions that teachers should be allowed to carry firearms following the deadly shooting at Debsinin Nonthaburi School. The attack, carried out by a 14-year-old male student, left seven people dead inside the school, including the gunman himself.

Thailand cannabis couriers face UK crackdown
Thailand cannabis couriers face UK crackdown

Georgealbert · 33 minutes ago33 min

Nearly 1,000 British drug couriers were arrested at UK airports last year while allegedly bringing cannabis in from overseas, with the overwhelming majority arriving from Thailand, police figures show. The 976 arrests marked a sevenfold increase from 142 in 2023. In the six months to June this year, 600 suspected couriers had already been arrested. For foreigners in Thailand, the figures underline an important distinction in the country's cannabis rules: cannabis cultivation has been legal sin

I’ve never been able to work this one out...

SoCal1990 · yesterday at 05:31 AM1 day

You’ll see a well to do foreigner in Thailand who spent forty years building a career and making enough good decisions to finally retire comfortably. Then six months after meeting a "local" girl on his first trip to Siam, he’s taking life advice from someone whose biggest qualification is knowing how to keep him permanently off balance. How the hell does that happen? Most of these blokes aren’t stupid. Yet somehow they end up following her around like a buffalo that wandered off into the wrong

Do you believe in the Scientific Method? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Thursday at 03:21 AM3 days

Dear Folks, Some do, and some do not, believe in the Scientific Method. What is your opinion? If the world were run, politically and otherwise, based on the Scientific Method, would life not be far more pleasant for the Common Man, not to mention the LaoBaiXing? How might adherence to the Scientific Method improve governance, at all levels? Or, what about Witch Dunking? Which would you prefer, in a perfect world? Best regards, Gamma NOTE: How might the Scientific Method be applied in go

Will Trump finally solve the CM-Airport noise pollution problem?
Will Trump finally solve the CM-Airport noise pollution problem?

GammaGlobulin · 16 hours ago16 hr

Dear Folks, In my view, almost nobody, not the pilots, and not the air-traffic controllers, around here know ANYTHING about noise abatement, nor the many good reasons for reducing aircraft noise which is now affecting hundreds of thousands of people, especially in CM. The noise just increases as the years pass. The only quiet time, a once-in-a century time, was during COVID. So, does it really take an epidemic to achieve significant noise abatement? This is why I am pinning my hopes on Tr

Chronic Gerd.

Rams86 · 11 hours ago11 hr

Hi there, I suffer from chronic GERD I've tried everything from doctors to OTC medication. I suffer from all of the symptoms, chronic sore throat, a raspy voice, blocked nasal passages and a very bad bitter taste in my mouth. I tried omeprazole for a few months but nothing changed. Has anybody had this condition before and treated it successfully?

Since about 6 weeks I have a strange kind of itchiness, without rash, that I've never had before. Sometimes there's no itchiness for hours and then my hands, feet, scalp or ankles itch, caused by (accidentally) touching a wall or something like that and it disappears after a minute or so. It can also happen when I open a bottle. At night there's no problem. It happens in my room but also when I'm outside. It could be related to my room although it's a "clean" room including the a/c but recently
