...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

No fuel import for US embassy in Cuba

stevenl · 14 minutes ago14 min

The US is starving Cuba, also of fuel. But the US embassy tried to circumvent this and import their own fuel, to keep the generator running. No says Cuba, shameful. We suffer, you have to suffer as well. https://apnews.com/article/cuba-fuel-embassy-trump-blockade-dd5a11ac933daf258d3f689e7cbb822d

$13bn US supercarrier hit by fire, heads for repairs

bannork · Thursday at 08:13 AM1 day

The world’s largest aircraft carrier is limping toward repairs after a dramatic fire onboard left hundreds of sailors without beds and raised fresh questions about conditions aboard the $13 billion warship. The USS Gerald R. Ford is now sailing to Crete following a string of mishaps during a long deployment that has stretched for nine months. The massive vessel, which carries more than 5,000 sailors and crew members, has been heavily involved in recent U.S. military operations around the world.

update on the Thai ship & crew News. As tensions continue in the ongoing USA/ Israel /Iran conflict, the Strait of H has become an extremely dangerous route for commercial shipping, with ships sometimes targeted for allegedly ignoring warnings ,most recently the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree, where crew members were put to the test. A survivor's account describes the terror, explosions that struck the ship, leading to a hurried evacuation while three sailors remain unaccounted for in the d

Renewing UK passport

DrJack54 replied to trucking's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

That would be helpful. If inclined please do a Thread report on the whole process once you receive your new pp. My most recent pp renewal (Oz) had turnaround of 20 days till delivery of pp via post. Bit off topic but amazes me how some countries do not have option of online + post for pp renewal. Also some countries require the existing pp to be part of the application. For Oz you retain the existing pp.

Crossy replied to Dan747's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion

Update from the Pathum Thani area. Needed to top off the Ranger, two PTT stations had no diesel, the third limited to 500 Baht which actually took the tank as full as makes no odds. Got to get family from the airport this afternoon, so I suspect I'll be doing the rounds again to top off.

Smokey and the Bandit replied to webfact's topic in World News - Discussion

If the comment was truly a "cultural failure," Takaichi wouldn't have walked away with a $40 billion nuclear reactor deal and a joint agreement on oil stockpiling. In Trump's world, "ribbing" an ally is a sign of inclusion in the "inner circle," not an insult.

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · 2 hours ago2 hr

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM1 day

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the
