New Thai Government Enforces $9 Entry Fee for Tourists Arriving by Air

Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has announced that the 300-baht entry fee for foreign tourists arriving by air in Thailand will be proposed at the first Cabinet meeting of the new "Anutin 2" administration.

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

The Cobra · Tuesday at 12:11 AM4 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???

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 05:22 PM2 days

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

Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start
Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start

MikeWill · Monday at 03:20 AM5 days

Been here a few years now, married to a Thai, living outside a city with no expat bubble to fall back on. My Thai is embarrassing. Point at things, smile, hope for the best. I'm done with that. The problem is every time I try to figure out where to start, I get pulled in different directions. Some people say learn to read first — that the script teaches you the correct tones and stops you developing bad habits from romanised phonetics. Others say just get out there and speak, mistakes and all,

https://metro.co.uk/2026/03/26/this-many-times-a-week-pooing-according-scientists-27682899/amp/ How often do you poo? According to a recent Cushelle poll, the average Brit visits the toilet six times a day, spending just over five minutes on the loo each time — equal to seven full days a year. When it comes to number twos specifically though, participants in Zoe’s ‘Big Poo Review’ (the largest ever UK survey of bowel habits) ranged from once a week to four times a day.

https://www.sciencealert.com/parkinsons-link-to-gut-bacteria-hints-at-unexpectedly-simple-treatment Scientists have suspected for some time that the link between our gut and brain plays a role in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Recent research adds further evidence to the link, identifying gut microbes likely to be involved and linking them with decreased riboflavin ( vitamin B2) and biotin (vitamin B7). The discovery suggests an unexpectedly simple treatment that may help: B vitamins. "Sup

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

MikeWill · Tuesday at 08:36 AM4 days

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
