Community German National Rescued After Reportedly Being Left Homeless in Jomtien
Don´t write that so high up of a long winding article. Are you applying for content manager work? Do you know any man here that owns his house? Ok, it exists, but very few. That´s what I am talking about. Self-preservation. If you fear for your safety, you take those things with you as they are essential for you safety. -

Community German National Rescued After Reportedly Being Left Homeless in Jomtien
It's an interesting phenomenon. The two in this thread both claim to be happy and successful, yet they have this incredible hatred and anger for other foreigners bubbling beneath the surface. It seems that they cannot resist an opportunity to put other foreigners down, and feel the need to make out that any friction between Thais and foreigners is the fault of the foreigner. It's like their rational/critical thinking is completely disengaged. There was a thread a few days ago, about two foreigners having sex in public, and one of them wrote this strange comment where they got really angry, basically claimed that all the users on this forum are the same as this couple, and demanded that they should all go home. -

Because you paid for everything doesn't give you a right to stay. Wake up, you got nothing if they decide to kick you out -

Transgender Swimmer Ana Caldas Sweeps Five Events at National Meet, Sparks Backlash
Transgenders should be banned from women's sport due to their unfair strength advantages. The only way to get around this to maybe satisfy the woke and remoove that physical advantage, would be to have extra gender competitions / races for trans women and trans men. Let trans women compete against only other trans women. Take away his hormone supplements for a month or two, then tell me it is still a woman. -

Myanmar’s Gold Rush Puts Mekong and Regional Waterways at Risk
Image: Taylor Weidman / Alamy Image: Taylor Weidman / Alamy Unregulated gold mining in Myanmar’s eastern Shan state is threatening major international rivers and cross-border communities, as satellite data and on-the-ground accounts reveal growing environmental contamination and a near-total absence of oversight. The Nam Kham, or “Golden River,” once a life-sustaining source for rural farmers like Sai U in Mong Len, has turned dark and toxic due to runoff from illegal mining operations around the sacred Loi Kham mountain. “They drank the water, took a few steps, and just collapsed,” Sai U said of his poisoned cattle. Since Myanmar’s 2021 coup, gold mining—often operated by Chinese firms or groups tied to armed militias—has surged in formerly protected or conflict-displaced lands. Cyanide, a toxic chemical used in gold extraction, is widely employed without safety infrastructure. Satellite images show an estimated 1,780 hectares of active mining in Shan state, with suspected cyanide-leaching ponds sitting alarmingly close to tributaries of the Mekong and Sai rivers. Experts say that during floods, runoff from these sites likely carries cyanide and heavy metals downstream, endangering ecosystems and millions who rely on the Lower Mekong Basin for water and food. In September 2024, historic floods in Thailand’s Mae Sai district were traced to upstream land degradation from mining and deforestation in eastern Shan. Despite these risks, local and international agencies have remained largely silent. The Mekong River Commission declined to comment, and Myanmar’s environmental regulation has collapsed. Areas such as Mong Len are under militia control, beyond the reach of central authorities. Locals, once vocal, now remain quiet—protests ended after a fatal police shooting in 2015. China’s role is pivotal. While its domestic miners face strict controls, Chinese companies in Myanmar operate freely, aided by local militias like the United Wa State Army (UWSA), which have tacit support from Myanmar’s military. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative delisted Myanmar in 2024, citing lack of accountability. As gold extraction continues largely unchecked, the environmental and human costs are rising—quietly flowing downstream, across borders, and toward a slow-burning regional crisis. -2025-05-05 -

No, I don´t hate foreigners. Only people who comes to a foreign country and in one way or another ends up with problems. Oh, wait now! Also all the ones on AN that think they are superior to Thai people. As we are discussing on the platform mentioned, I guess that leaves little to imagination, right Mr. Cowboy! Are you ready?- 2
