Why is the US not selling their F35 fighter jets to Thailand? Bickering continues between Move Forward and Pheu Thai over the House Speaker job, who is the most numerous serial killer in Thailand? Really Cool Airlines announces some of its planned routes, but not much else. The Tourism Authority of Thailand announces a new governor... and maybe a new calculator?

Tim Newton Today is a daily take on Thai and regional news and issues of interest to expats and foreign tourists.

With Thailand on the fence regarding its allegiance towards China or USA, it's no wonder the US has backed off supplying Thailand with F35A jets.

Imagine a conflict where Thailand are in dog fights with other F35A jets flown by US fighter pilots!

Care / residential / retirement home?

Johnlkuk · 2 hours ago2 hr

I asked a few months back about a fit to fly certificate for my (now 95 years young) neighbour. Sadly, due to his age and failing health, a realisation has set in, for him and his family, that staying here for his final days may be his better option. Right now his family are funding full time care in his own condo, but are now contemplating if a care home would be a better option. Can anyone recommend any places local to Pattaya? And, if possible, approximate costs for a live in resident in

An American woman who swapped life in the United States for the UK says the move completely changed her outlook—and left her convinced she'd been sold the wrong idea of success for years. Mindy Hickson says living in Britain has shown her what she calls "the simple life" and challenged everything she once believed about happiness. Sharing her experience on her YouTube channel, The Hickson Diaries, Mindy listed seven reasons why she believes life in the UK offers a different way of living. Her c

At a recent Oversite hearing on the SPLC. After a bit of round & round Q&A from Fair, Gill said the SPLC has referred to the Totenkopf as a "racist skinhead symbol", Yet this same organization now finds itself soft pedaling its association with a Dem Senate candidate in Maine who proudly wore this Nazi SS death’s head tattoo for years before covering it up.

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil.
