Easy call for an American...basic health care for citizens (includes reasonable healthcare costs). But then this can be said for most of "civilzed" countries).

They protect their small businesses....

Foreigners have to meet a protectionist criteria versus other countries (mine) that are literally mining out certain industries to just about anybody - regardless of citizenship....

Thai’s genuinely love their country, faults and all, and are proud to be Thai’s.

Jay0kay · Friday at 05:31 PM2 days

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

China’s Threat to Global Democracy,News

riclag · February 13Feb 13

In their January 2023 Journal of Democracy article, China’s Threat to Global Democracy, scholars Michael Beckley and Hal Brands explain that the Chinese Communist Party is fanatically working to corrupt and destabilize democracies worldwide ,not just to defend its own rule, but to make the world safe for autocracy. Can you imagine a autocratic rule where a single leader or a tiny elite holds absolute, unchecked power,deciding laws, silencing critics, controlling the flow of information, and sh

Apaches and A10s blasting Iran assets at Hormuz

3NUMBAS · Friday at 07:22 AM2 days

“The U.S. and its allies have intensified the battle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending low-flying attack jets over the sea lanes to blast Iranian naval vessels and Apache helicopters to shoot down Iran’s deadly drones, American military officials said. The stepped-up operation is part of a multistage Pentagon plan to reduce the danger from Iranian armed boats, mines and cruise missiles, which have halted ship traffic through the waterway since early March. If the danger can be reduced, the

Dear Folks, According to my watch, here in Greenwich, where we enjoy GMT time, all the time… There are now 27 hours and 2 minutes until Trump’s ultimatum becomes effective… EXACTLY..!!!

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

KhunLA replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

Luck indeed. Short, 3 month courtship with present, Dec 31st to March 28th, then moved in, 20 yr & counting. Actually lucky in USA, as none were even close to bad, just 'till death do you part' seems way too long. Enough slight differences, as I knew sooner of later they'd end, so sooner seemed better. I'm not an easy person to live with, and you have to be 'flexible', to deal with my 'don't care, doing this now' attitude. Having a kid slowed me down a wee bit. That and the damn temps. 35+C saps my energy.

Trump draws backlash over reaction to Mueller’s death

spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in World News - Discussion

It would appear during his very traumatic childhood that Trump was never taught anything about respect for others, he just simply became a toxic bully, and year after year he became a darker more hateful version of trailer park trash. Trump is an absolute pig. Having said that he manifests none of the good qualities that pigs have. Perhaps a gutter slug or a swamp creature is closer to the mark.

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · 4 hours ago4 hr

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · Saturday at 12:20 PM1 day

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

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · Saturday at 02:43 AM2 days

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
