Is true-the prostitutes are mostly very good and warm-hearted- contrary to the femonisto-communist lies!

People are taking this too literally. It's about the disrespect of a US president who deserves no respect whatsoever and that is very delicious coming from visitors.

I think it presumptive and entitled of tourists and Expats to whinge and complain over what Thais do in their own country. They are getting on with domestic business. It's not like it is a hard and fast rule.

Your example is as useful as knitted condom. 3 years ago is not today. You said they're upgrading the hospital to make it look more modern, likely to include a dedicated farang patient wing.

Yes, ok. But it's also a matter of perspective of who society puts on a pedestal. George Orwell is a genius, right? But what if it's mostly mind control? There likely won't ever be that kind of oppressive lack of freedom described in that book. So many books written by respected authors are garbage too. It's not just social media.

A 20-year-old male elephant used for tourist rides killed its mahout and injured an Omani tourist after becoming agitated in Phang Nga on 27 June. Get today's headlines by email The fatal attack occurred in Moo 2, Song Phraek subdistrict, Mueang district, after the elephant, named Plai Thongkham, reportedly became distressed during a tour carrying two foreign tourists. Authorities said the elephant attempted to enter a stream, but its mahout used a hook to prevent it from doing so. According to witnesses, the elephant became aggressive, throwing one of the tourists from its back. The injured tourist, a 33-year-old man from Oman, was taken to Phang Nga Hospital for treatment. The elephant then ran about 100 metres from the stream before throwing its mahout, 32-year-old Chaiyan Pradapsri from Prasat district, Surin province, to the ground. It subsequently attacked him with its trunk and feet, causing fatal injuries. Officials said he suffered extensive fractures and a broken neck. Following the attack, Plai Thongkham fled into nearby forest. Local officials, including Song Phraek subdistrict headman Boonrong Sawatdichai, police from Thung Kha Ngok Police Station, officers from the Phang Nga Provincial Livestock Office, and forensic physician Dr Montri Thanakit attended the scene to investigate. Witness accounts suggested the elephant’s aggression may have been triggered after being prevented from entering the water, although authorities have not confirmed the exact cause of the attack. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Phang Nga Provincial Livestock Office has assembled a team equipped with tranquiliser guns and sedatives to locate and subdue Plai Thongkham. Officials said the elephant remains agitated, raising concerns that it could pose a further risk to people in the area if not safely captured. Pictures courtesy of Daily News Join the discussion?

About Trump-is not so-because Melania is from Slovenia.

Airports of Thailand (AOT) has sharply reduced its passenger growth forecast for the 2026 fiscal year to possibly below one per cent, citing global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, while maintaining expansion plans to meet long-term demand. Get today's headlines by email The revised forecast marks a significant downgrade from AOT’s earlier projections of six per cent growth, later cut to around three per cent. The latest reduction follows the impact of conflict in the Middle East, which has driven up aviation fuel prices, increasing operating costs for airlines. AOT president and chief executive officer Paweena Jariyathitipong said the company’s six airports handled 552,119 flights during the first eight months of the fiscal year, covering October 2025 to May 2026. This represented a 1.38 per cent increase compared with the same period a year earlier. Passenger numbers reached 90.98 million, up 2.76 per cent year-on-year, including 55.2 million international travellers and 35.7 million domestic passengers. Despite the weaker outlook for this year, AOT expects passenger numbers to recover modestly in fiscal 2027, forecasting growth of around two per cent. Total passenger traffic is expected to increase from approximately 126 million to between 128.5 million and 129 million, provided the situation in the Middle East remains stable, even if oil prices stay elevated. AOT remains confident about the long-term prospects for aviation. The company cited forecasts from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Airports Council International (ACI), and global consultants, which project worldwide passenger numbers will rise by around 20 per cent over the next 20 years from the current five billion travellers. Thailand is expected to be among the five countries benefiting most from this growth as much of the expansion is forecast to occur across Asia. To prepare for future demand, AOT is continuing a 300 billion baht infrastructure investment programme across its six airports, aiming to increase annual capacity to 160 million passengers by 2034. The initial investment will be funded through passenger service fee revenue rather than borrowing to avoid increasing public debt. Expansion projects include new terminal developments at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is expected to accommodate 70 million passengers annually once eastern and southern extensions are completed between 2031 and 2033. Don Mueang Airport will add a third passenger terminal and a Junction Terminal to raise capacity to 40 million passengers a year. Chiang Mai Airport is reviewing plans for a new passenger terminal, while Phuket Airport is designing an expansion scheduled for 2028 to 2031 to ease congestion. Hat Yai Airport is preparing a master plan after exceeding its current terminal capacity, and Chiang Rai Airport is drafting terms of reference for a terminal upgrade project. The ThaiNewsRoom reported that AOT is also restructuring its organisation to improve efficiency. Operating expenses rose by only two per cent during the first two quarters of fiscal 2026, below the typical annual increase of eight to 10 per cent. The company is also expanding non-aviation revenue by developing more than 2,000 rai of land around its airports for hotels, logistics facilities, electric vehicle charging stations and other aviation-related businesses.

Stupidity. It will never end.

You are badly mistaken. Trump- destroyed vokism, multi-culti, feminism, george-floydism, cancel culture, positive discrimination, DEI nonsense, critical racial theory. HE closed the border, deported millions of illegals, restablished Western control over Panama Channel, finished 8 wars, started 1 war-agaisnt Iran and desroyed ayatollahs and their nuke program!

What an incredible story of turning personal tragedy into something beautiful. Taking care of a parent with Alzheimer's is one of the hardest things a person can do, but Martin found a way to give his mother—and now others—real dignity. The Thai culture of respect for the elderly really shines through in projects like this. Absolute respect to him and his wife. 🙏❤️

Suspend

But the punishment must follow immediately! Look at all anti-Trumpists-the 1st term-they cried and shouted. Now they are very calm-like sheep-because they understand that the Iron Heel is coming!

My way of life has been going on for centuries, and will continue until the earth is finished. Yes, I do like Charlton Heston, as an actor, and also a smart outspoken man for gun rights. Better to be a fossil than a wimp.

duh. click your notifications lol. great for seeing who a stalker is. like you. 7. not counting your emojinaut duties

A Swiss man who moved to Thailand to care for his mother with Alzheimer’s disease has gone on to establish a dementia care facility in Chiang Mai, offering long-term support for international residents at a fraction of the cost of comparable care in Europe and North America. Get today's headlines by email Martin Woodtli, 65, relocated his mother from Switzerland to Chiang Mai in 2003 after years of caring for her following an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. After his father, who had been her primary caregiver, developed depression and later died by suicide, Woodtli became solely responsible for her care and began searching for alternatives. Dissatisfied with the institutional atmosphere and high costs of Swiss care facilities, Woodtli chose to return to Chiang Mai, where he had previously worked with Doctors Without Borders during the 1990s. He believed Thailand’s culture of respect for older people and a more personal care environment could improve his mother’s quality of life. Woodtli moved into a house with his mother and employed three caregivers recruited through local hospitals to provide round-the-clock support. He said the new environment helped his mother become more comfortable and socially engaged, developing her own style of communication despite the progression of her illness. Within a year, Woodtli used money inherited from his father to establish Baan Kamlangchay, a dementia care home located in a residential neighbourhood outside Chiang Mai city centre. Interest in the facility grew after a Swiss documentary filmmaker recorded the story of Woodtli and his mother in 2003, leading families from Switzerland and Germany to make enquiries. Today, Woodtli and his Thai wife operate the facility, which cares for around 10 residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Residents, whom Woodtli refers to as guests, live across eight separate houses integrated into a local Thai community rather than in a single institutional building. According to Thai civil registration data, Chiang Mai recorded 160,958 foreign residents in 2025, representing around 9% of the province’s approximately 1.8 million residents. The city’s international airport, lower living costs and long-stay visa options have contributed to its popularity among retirees and overseas residents. Baan Kamlangchay operates as a registered company in Thailand and provides accommodation, daily assistance and supportive care through trained caregivers. Residents access medical services through local healthcare providers when required, as there are no on-site medical staff. The cost of care starts at approximately US$2,900 per month, including accommodation, meals and 24-hour support. By comparison, nursing home care in the United States averaged about US$112,420 annually, on 2024 data, while dementia care in Swiss nursing homes was estimated at 89,756 Swiss francs per year. Caleb Johnston, an associate professor of human geography at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, described the movement of people to Thailand for care and palliative support as a small but growing trend. He said lower costs, a large caregiving workforce and an expanding private care sector were attracting international clients, though families must also consider the impact of distance from established social networks and long-term friendships. At Baan Kamlangchay, each guest is supported by a dedicated team of three caregivers working rotating shifts, with one caregiver sleeping in the same room at night. The facility also includes shared dining areas, an activity centre with a swimming pool and a small convenience store that allows residents to interact with local villagers and maintain a sense of independence. Anke Blomberg, whose mother Gerda has lived at Baan Kamlangchay for eight years, said she chose the facility after finding care homes in Germany impersonal. After visiting Chiang Mai with her mother for a month, she decided the environment and level of care were suitable and now visits twice each year. Woodtli said many residents remain at the facility for years and stay until the end of their lives. His own mother lived at Baan Kamlangchay until her death in 2006.

Yes you are right-al people like you and your pals-will be severely punished-with 2 village idiots-Obama and Biden!

Don't need one. i can kill everything on earth with my Remington Model 70 in .270

It's called research, and it's true. Take some of your time in your apartment and research. I have presented reliable evidence for what we're talking about. My daughter will be going to a public school, as they're very good in America, especially the ones in Texas. A "satisfactory" schooling here doesn't mean a satisfactory job here, and living her as a girl is the downside, as anyone who has children knows, which is why so many send them to America, like your Chinese girls you speak about. Thailand is not safe, as I know being a member of AN, along with having my eyes open, unless you stay in your village, away from certain borders, don't get into any argument with the quick to kill locals for minor offenses, have a decent woman who won't get others after you, and don't drive , especially using a scooter.I came to Thailand to visit Thailand, and met the wrong woman to stay with, but okay to have my daughter with, as she will soon have that better life in America. Yes, I know exactly what good food is, as I've been eating it for 69 years. It's best not to comment on things you know nothing about, like raising children in a safe environment. Stick to things you know a lot about, whatever that might be.

Nazism and Faschism are-of course-extra-left both-but they are also realtions against Communism!

Best caracteristics of 2 worst»presidents»if the USA-Obama and Biden!
