The blue/yellow capsule is probably Mefenamic Acid (NSAID)

You for real? Its highly dangerous to guess the drug based on a color of the capsule which could be anything depending on manufacturer or if its generic.

My Samsung tablet received the test alert even though there’s no SIM card in it and WiFi was off.

Creepy.

Why is that creepy. That's how disaster alerts are supposed to work - if you elect to receive them. I read somewhere they work if the device is turned off also!

The quake was in March, not last month.

Probably because the other ten are not registered in Bangkok, will still be listed under their home town. Not ideal.

If the settings in the phone are not set to receive Crisis Alerts, my Xiaomi phones are default off from the factory, you won't get anything.

I have no figures but it seems to have a lot more members now and more news and information relevant to the expat community.

This is sarcasm right? There seems to be too much biased US politics and extremist nonsense in recent years where none is needed on an ASEAN forum.

It’s time to face reality and stop sugarcoating the insanity. The real world just called and asked, “What the F*@% is happening in America?” Despite what delusional ass-kissers like Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent, and Kevin O’Leary spew out daily, an authoritarian ecosystem is not one where free market capitalism can grow and thrive. This is not about America first. It's about the Trump family and billionaires first. The time has come for people in this country to grow a backbone, and at the very least, call out the pure stupidity of Trump’s trade war. Ken Griffin, a very conservative billionaire hedge fund CEO, aptly labeled this administration’s economic policy as ‘crony capitalism’. Nothing is less sustainable and more anti-American than country club capitalism. But don’t worry, the US is way too big to fail so that’s not the risk. The risk comes later. After this administration finds the least embarrassing way to create a positive narrative around trade and save face, how many economic cycles will it take before we can be trusted again?
