10 Everyday Thai Foods with Hidden Superpowers
Thailand is known for its vibrant street food and bold flavors, but did you know that some of the most common ingredients in Thai cuisine also pack incredible health benefits? From digestion-boosting herbs to antioxidant-rich fruits, these everyday foods could give your wellness a surprising boost. Let’s dive in! 1. Thai Basil – The Blood Sugar Balancer Not just a fragrant addition to stir-fries, Thai basil contains eugenol, a compound that helps regulate blood sugar levels and fights inflammation. It’s also great for digestion, making it a delicious and functional ingredient in Thai cuisine. Example Dish: Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) 2. Holy Basil – The Stress Reliever Often used in the famous Pad Krapow, holy basil is considered an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body manage stress. It has antibacterial properties and may even support respiratory health. Who knew your favorite spicy stir-fry could be so calming? Example Dish: Pad Krapow (Spicy Basil Stir-Fry) 3. Lemongrass – The Detox Hero A staple in Thai soups and teas, lemongrass is packed with antioxidants that help detox the body. It also aids digestion, reduces bloating, and has natural antibacterial properties, making it a powerful addition to your diet. Example Dish: Tom Yum (Hot and Sour Soup) 4. Green Papaya – The Digestive Booster Used in the famous Som Tum (papaya salad), green papaya contains papain, an enzyme that aids digestion and protein absorption. This makes it an excellent post-workout food to help with muscle recovery. Example Dish: Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad) 5. Tamarind – The Gut Healer Whether in dipping sauces, curries, or desserts, tamarind is a natural laxative that supports gut health. It’s also rich in antioxidants and may help regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Example Dish: Pad Thai (Stir-Fried Noodles) 6. Roselle – The Heart’s Best Friend This deep-red flower is commonly made into tea, known for its ability to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol. Roselle is also packed with vitamin C, giving your immune system a boost while keeping your heart happy. Example Dish: Roselle Tea (Refreshing Herbal Tea) 7. Moringa Leaves – The Nutrient Powerhouse Often added to soups and curries, moringa leaves are a superfood packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein. They have anti-inflammatory properties and may even help with anti-aging and cognitive function. Example Dish: Gaeng Om (Isan Herbal Soup) 8. Jackfruit – The Protein-Packed Fruit While its sweet flesh is delicious, don’t overlook jackfruit seeds! They are high in protein, iron, and fiber, supporting muscle growth, gut health, and better digestion. Next time you eat jackfruit, save those seeds! Example Dish: Khanom Kluay (Steamed Banana and Jackfruit Cake) 9. Butterfly Pea Flower – The Brain Booster A common ingredient in bright blue Thai herbal teas, butterfly pea flower is rich in antioxidants that support brain function and circulation. Plus, its anti-inflammatory properties are great for skin and eye health. Example Dish: Butterfly Pea Tea (Blue Herbal Tea) 10. Fermented Fish – The Probiotic Powerhouse A key ingredient in Northeastern Thai cuisine, fermented fish is loaded with probiotics that promote gut health. It’s also rich in B vitamins, which are essential for energy and brain function. Example Dish: Som Tum Pla Ra (Green Papaya Salad with Fermented Fish) Bringing Thai Superfoods into Your Life These ingredients aren’t just delicious—they’re nature’s medicine, hiding in plain sight in your daily meals. Whether you’re enjoying a spicy stir-fry, a refreshing herbal tea, or a tangy fruit salad, you’re giving your body powerful nutrients without even trying! What’s your favourite Thai superfood?

Solar Project Planning
You will need 4-wire each way I'm afraid, that's assuming you're going hybrid solar. You could still put the panels on the garage and run solar DC to inverters in the house. That might prove cheaper. Do you want batteries (even LiFePO4) in your living area? How much solar do you anticipate? You may get away with smaller than 25mm2 cables unless volt-drop becomes an issue. Best way is to sketch what you would like to do and cost up the cable runs. -

Foreign Shoplifters Wanted After Theft on Koh Phangan
German Models Caught in Koh Pha Ngan Shoplifting Scandal Picture via Facebook/ Satika Oz A seemingly routine moment in a Koh Pha Ngan shop spiralled into controversy after two German men, presumed to be models, were caught shoplifting twice in one day. The incident unfolded at Sprout, a handcrafted home goods store run by Ploy, who resolutely took a stand against the culprits. The debacle began on March 18 when the suspects first entered Ploy's store at around 1:30 p.m., discreetly taking a bottle of body oil valued at 550 Thai Baht (£12). Emboldened, they returned just hours later, snatching a 650 Thai Baht (£14) roll-on deodorant at 4:30 p.m. But their brief spree of alleged thievery did not go unnoticed. Determined to hold them accountable, Ploy shared CCTV footage capturing their actions on her social media accounts. In a strategic move, she tagged their Instagram accounts, encouraging public scrutiny. By uniting Thai and English-speaking netizens in outrage, Ploy helped bring the incident to light. Observers noted that given their apparent modelling careers and possession of designer items, financial necessity seemed an unlikely motive, making their actions all the more perplexing. Following their discovery, one of the men reached out to Ploy, incredulously denying any wrongdoing even after she presented them with clear evidence. Upon further engagement, they admitted to the theft but showed no signs of remorse, which galvanised Ploy to pursue justice. Reporting the incident to Koh Pha Ngan Police, she brushed aside suggestions to settle the matter privately and elected instead to press charges, seeking to set an example for tourists thinking of breaching local laws. Plans to advance legal proceedings may pose severe consequences for the pair. If their failure to appear in court results in a conviction, they could face a ban from returning to Thailand. Meanwhile, their attempts to evade public scrutiny appear futile as they made their Instagram profiles private amidst mounting criticism. As the saga unfolds, there are calls for Ploy to inform the modelling agencies linked to the duo, which could further jeopardise their professional standing, as integrity remains a key criterion in the fashion industry. This incident underlines the critical importance of respecting local customs and laws, reminding foreign visitors that actions abroad carry tangible consequences. Ultimately, Ploy’s unyielding pursuit of legal action sends a potent message about accountability and respect, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-19- 1

Something that this forum doesnt understand about Trump
Look,i know you are only here on this forum to stir up things and make stupid comments and try to get people riled up. It is working for you somewhat. Enjoy it while you can because trump is coming for you also. Soon no more pensions send to countries that don't kiss his ass. Great, However what you have said ,:freedom comes at a high price, something only an American can understand" That must be the most arrogant ignorant thing i have seen on here for a very long time.!!!!! It is a slap in the face for all people who have lost their lives around the world fighting for freedom and democracy ! I know you are trying to wind up and offend as much people as you can but i find a statement like this absolutely abhorrent . I better leave it at this. -

Why is All the Hate Towards Russia and Not China?
It's why I always advise my clients to consider real estate investment trusts on the stock exchanges as opposed to being an actual landlord dealing with actual people. Can't say for Thailand but it's dangerous these days to be a landlord collecting rent in Canada. ('Rent is Extortion' and 'Keep Your Rent' movements... Leftie funded)
