PHUKET: -- Phuket lifeguards yesterday put out another warning to beachgoers to be careful of Portuguese man o’ war when entering the water at the island’s west coast beaches.

The Phuket Lifeguard Service yesterday (June 7) posted a picture on its Facebook page showing the siphonophores at Nai Thon Beach along with a warning saying that they are coming as it is now monsoon season.

...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

Trump says US will ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormu

ravip · 6 hours ago6 hr

What an absolutely “brilliant” way to rescue struggling Iranians from their oppressive leadership. Truly, more nations should line up and invite the US to “liberate” their citizens. It seems the labels “developed country” and “first world” have taken on entirely new meanings. One has to wonder—have basic human ethics simply gone out of fashion? President Donald Trump issued Iran with a 48-hour deadline to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, after which he says the US will "obliterate" Iranian power

US Considering Asylum for British Jews

Evil Penevil · January 18Jan 18

That's a shocking headline. Apparently Jews are no longer safe in the U.K. as the government is unable or unwilling to tackle deeply ingrained and fanatic antisemitism. Listing Palestine Action was a good start, but doesn't go far enough. US considering asylum for British Jews The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, The Telegraph can reveal. Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the state de

Irans weapons kept in reserve

3NUMBAS · yesterday at 03:40 PM1 day

Iran is revealing new military capabilities as its war with Israel and the US enters its fourth week, and the regime still has more cards to play, from as-yet-unseen missiles to allied militias and sleeper cells abroad. The missiles fired at the US-UK Diego Garcia base demonstrated a range of around 2,400 miles, far beyond previous estimates of Iran’s capabilities. Tehran’s military also deployed the Haj Qasem, a newly developed medium-range ballistic missile with a half-tonne warhead, for the f

According to a Reuter's poll, sending US military ground troops to invade Iran is not widely supported. But how about you dear AseanNow members? Tell us why and support your opinion.

IsmeUno replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

Thing is...I don't consider it a beatdown. Not harming him at all. He's hurting himself. My suggestion is simply that he opens his mind to the possibility that his behaviour can have a negative effect on his relationships. That goes for us all. Once you are able to do that, you can have a conversation. What happens when a potential partner challenges his version of events? Does she become a moron? A covert narcissist? One who assumes? It doesn't take a great leap to see the possibility of such behaviour leaking into his close personal relationships. Can he state categorically that he has not ever behaved that way with family and close partners? These are questions he needs to pose for himself. There is no beatdown occurring. No looking down the nose at anyone. Just food for thought.

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · yesterday at 12:20 PM1 day

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

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
