Motorways/Expressways free for TWELVE days during long weekends in November/December

Picture: Daily News

The highways department said that Route 7 from Bangkok to Pattaya and the Route 9 motorway from Bang Pa-In to Bang Plee plus the elevated section from Phrapradaeng to Bang Khun Thian would all be toll free during the recently created long weekend holidays next month and in December.

They will be free to use from November 18th to 23rd a period that encompasses the four day break from the 19th to 22nd November.

They will also be free for a six day period around the 10th to 13th December holiday. Further details of the exact timings about that one will be available soon.

The move is thought to cost the authorities 500 million baht and is to ease the pressure on expenses for those travelling in the long holidays as well as ease congestion at toll booths.

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · 19 hours ago19 hr

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Fuel crisis deepens as drivers line up with jerry cans before sunrise

bannork · 8 hours ago8 hr

The fuel crisis deepened as drivers lined up with jerry cans before sunrise in Thailand amid chaos in the Middle East. Footage shows a long queue of motorists waiting to refill vehicles at a station in Songkhla on March 23. One local said: 'I had to wake up at 2 am to place jerry cans in line before the station opened at 6 am because the cans placed at the opening would already be near the hundredth position in the queue.' Authorities reported that shrimp farm owners, sea bass pond operators

Israeli minister calls for annexation of southern Lebanon

The forgotten war, it's going to be another Gaza, and then Syria, which according to Smotrich should be part of Israel. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-minister-calls-annexation-southern-lebanon-2026-03-23/ He suggested that Israel would gradually grow to encompass not only all Palestinian territories but also parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/what-greater-israel#:~:text=He%20suggested%20that%20Israel%20w

US Considering Asylum for British Jews

Evil Penevil · January 18Jan 18

That's a shocking headline. Apparently Jews are no longer safe in the U.K. as the government is unable or unwilling to tackle deeply ingrained and fanatic antisemitism. Listing Palestine Action was a good start, but doesn't go far enough. US considering asylum for British Jews The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, The Telegraph can reveal. Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the state de

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Alan Zweibel · 11 hours ago11 hr

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

Thanks, I agree. It would’ve been handy to have the ability to make QR payments in Thailand without having a Thai bank account. But as you said, best not to have a Thai address on the account if not necessary.

Johno57 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

I have heard before Indians sharing rooms to the extreme in pattaya & then bringing back a girl & trying to share her too (which amounts to rape in̈ most countries) I have heard stories of the Chinese being very ungrateful & actually spitting at thai staff when not getting their way. My experiences with russsians on a few occassions in hua hin left the thought of complete arrogance in some of there bad mannerisms. And then the loud mouth yanks that you can always hear across the room telling every body that US is best at every thing. Thai people are usually more placid & respectful so I think they must be very patient with all this, and should be treated better by tourists.

Not talking about the obvious stuff that brings most of us here initially. I mean the longer term decision to actually settle down with a Thai woman specifically. Looking back I think the relationship dynamic played a bigger part in my choice than I ever admitted at the time. The roles are just... clear. He provides, she takes care of the home and family. No blurred lines, no competition for the same space, no ongoing negotiation about who does what and why or whose in charge! That model large

The Cobra · 3 hours ago3 hr

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

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:55 AM1 day

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
