Report Phuket Faces Waste Crisis as Garbage Piles Up
Frustrated by the Lack of Environmental Awareness It’s disheartening to see how widespread field burning continues in Thailand, especially given the severe air pollution it causes. The health risks are well-documented—yet many seem unaware or indifferent to the long-term consequences. I often see trash carelessly discarded along roadsides, which only reinforces the sense that environmental stewardship isn’t a priority for many. -

Good news for Americans: Trump is giving $600 rebate to everybody
I don't follow MSM much, but I imagine the media is pumping a lot of ideas into people's heads. Easy to get brainwashed in this day and age and hard to separate fact from fiction. It's reached a point where most people believe everything in the media and nothing the president says. -

Economy US Imposes 19% Tariff on Thailand in Major Trade Shift
Presumably you are an American as this a biased one sided US-centric view as projected by the current administration. Did you consider that? Thailand, like many developing nations, has a different economic structure and consumer base. High-cost U.S. products, such as cars or luxury goods, may not align with local demand or purchasing power, even with lower tariffs. Forcing market access ignores these realities. Thailand has the right to protect its domestic industries (e.g., automotive manufacturing) and balance trade agreements with local economic needs. Indirect barriers, like safety standards or subsidies, often serve legitimate purposes—protecting consumers, fostering local growth, or ensuring cultural fit. Dismantling them to favor U.S. goods could destabilize Thailand’s economy without clear benefits. Thailand agreed to lower tariffs on some U.S. goods to avoid a 36% U.S. tariff on its exports, but this doesn’t mandate flooding its market with U.S. products. Both sides negotiate to balance access and protection. Expecting all nations to prioritize U.S. goods overlooks diverse economic needs and the principle of equitable trade. Thailand’s compliance with the agreement will likely focus on agreed terms—possibly selective tariff cuts on U.S. auto parts or other goods—while maintaining barriers that safeguard its economy. -

Accident Motorcyclist Killed Instantly in Collision with Lorry on Sukhumvit Road
That does not mean the truck did not pull in front of the motorcycle in the slightest. He should not pull out if that would require the motorcycle to brake or evade. The reality is trucks mostly do. Near where I live trucks actually do this slowly, force the traffic on the highway to come to a stop, and seemingly help all those waiting for the U-Turn to get across, I have the misfortune to live near Hwy 36, lots of HGVs, and U-turns. -
