Scouting Pattaya for a Potential Long-Term Base – Welcome Any Leads
Greetings from Bangkok. We’re exploring options for a month-long rental in Pattaya, but with a bigger goal in mind: we're searching for a place to eventually call home in retirement. We love Bangkok—its energy, culture, and convenience—but we’re craving more of a beach or mountain lifestyle with cleaner air. Here’s what we’re looking for in a potential long-term base: Seaview or mountain view with a balcony Secure building World-class gym nearby Walkable neighborhood ecosystem (cafés, grocery, gym – minimal car/moto reliance) Good air quality Access to quality groceries and organic food (we splurge on food) Proximity to town—urban access without being in the heart of nightlife College-town feel a plus (we’d love to plug into volunteer opportunities) Hospital reasonably nearby We’re open to paying a premium for a place that ticks these boxes We’ve searched globally—Boracay, Baguio, Da Nang, and Nha Trang each had pieces of the puzzle. We’ve also explored Phuket, Samui, and Hua Hin and haven’t given up on any of them—we’re still actively exploring all three as we have this feeling that we have not idnetified the right areas yet. But we’d like to give Pattaya a proper look, especially the places where there is a walkable ecosystem. (I seem to recall that some condo buildings have attempted to build these kinds of neighborhoods around them, for example.) If you know of neighborhoods, buildings, or hidden gems that might fit in Pattaya (and beyond), we’d be grateful for your wisdom. -

Thailand Drives Forward with Singapore-Kunming Rail Link Initiative
You have combined two sections, one has been approved and should be complete in about 20 years. The real problem is the section crossing the river. As far as I am aware there is not even a proposal on the table and the longer it goes on the more difficult that becomes and consequently more expensive. The 3 airports has stalled as land aquisition was no longer available and a tunnel required,a cost increase that could be fatal to the project. A great deal will depend on whether the Chinese make an intervention or not. -

Italy's Meloni says 'we hope to make the West great again' in Trump meeting
Love it that Trump hopelessly tries to ignore that she is the only interlocutor for a trade deal, and that he cannot negotiate with individual Member States. -

Did we have the best of it ? Is Britain Lost ?
The difference is that Thailand is still recognizably Thai. Britain, however, has changed beyond belief. -

Italy's Meloni says 'we hope to make the West great again' in Trump meeting
Ursula never offered to talk with bully boy Trump, she sent the EU's top trade official Maros Sefcovic for that, because that's his job. Meloni acts on her own initiative, because the EU didn't send her, but ALLOWED for the talks, as they know as a good-looking gal she makes a chance with know sexist Trump. Hope she doesn't get raped.
