Older Retirees and Younger Partners in Rural Thailand: Accepted or Not?
Apparently, quite a few older foreign men have retired to rural Thai villages where they marry local women, who are often much younger than them. The retirees are said to often speak limited Thai, and typically settle in areas with few other foreigners. To outsiders, these relationships might appear imbalanced due to differences in age, finances, or life experience. I’m curious how local Thai communities perceive these relationships. Are these foreign retirees accepted and viewed as a normal part of Thai village life now, or do they spark gossip or social tension? Do locals see them as providing security and opportunities for the women, perhaps admiring the foreigners for their contributions, or do they view these relationships as exploiting economic disparities? -

Community BKK Pushes Forward with ‘Universal Design’ for Public Buildings to Promote Disability Access
I remember when the US started "forcing" access laws. I am absolutely for accommodating disability access. Any one of us could find ourselves disabled, and it makes sense to promote these designs. The problem I had with the US was the implementation. It makes sense to force all new builds to meet these standards. The cost and effort in a new build it relatively small and reasonable. The issue was with existing buildings where compliance was impractical. New builds should meet disability standards. Existing buildings should be incentivized, not forced. Bangkok is a nightmare for anyone in a wheelchair (or otherwise disadvantaged). It will take decades to correct. But progress is being made and should continue to be made.
