Media pushes for strong self-regulation in meeting with deputy PM

By Wasamon Audjarint, Nattapat Promkaew
The Nation

Self-regulation would be the best approach to keep the media in check while state authorities could play a role by operating a separate complaints centre, media professionals and government legal experts agreed yesterday.

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · 20 hours ago20 hr

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Fuel crisis deepens as drivers line up with jerry cans before sunrise

bannork · 9 hours ago9 hr

The fuel crisis deepened as drivers lined up with jerry cans before sunrise in Thailand amid chaos in the Middle East. Footage shows a long queue of motorists waiting to refill vehicles at a station in Songkhla on March 23. One local said: 'I had to wake up at 2 am to place jerry cans in line before the station opened at 6 am because the cans placed at the opening would already be near the hundredth position in the queue.' Authorities reported that shrimp farm owners, sea bass pond operators

Google Boss To Head BBC: Bold Fix Or Culture Clash Gamble? The expected appointment of Matt Brittin as the next Director General of the BBC is already dividing opinion — and for good reason. On paper, Brittin looks like a heavyweight hire. After nearly two decades at Google, where he rose to lead operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, he brings serious management firepower. Insiders describe him as sharp, pragmatic and capable of making tough decisions — exactly what many belie

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)
Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)

connda replied to connda's topic in General Topics

Ok, here's what happened. I've got security cam video and no one came to my house at the time it showed as "Delivered" at 9:30 PM last night. This morning I sent a message to Flash indicating that the package was not delivered. Then I began trying to fill out the Lazada forms for non-delivery. Trust me, they are a complete circle-jerk. I doubt I could have managed to actually file a non-delivery report. It's AI and rather stupid AI at that. The message to Flash must have gotten through. The delivery guy showed up about 10 minutes ago with the package. My guess was that at 9:30 PM last night he was tired of delivering and marked the package as "Delivered" so he could go home with the plan of delivering today. Lessons learned. If your package doesn't show up, work directly with the Delivery agent. Lazada reporting system is overly complicated and runs you in circles. The Flash delivery guy is a good fellow, so I hope I didn't get him in trouble.

Twisting again, as I stated, as you can clearly see ... plenty of food in TH. And please point out this imaginary ridicule. Simply 2 rational, non trolling posters, expressing a different opinion. Try it sometime.

Not talking about the obvious stuff that brings most of us here initially. I mean the longer term decision to actually settle down with a Thai woman specifically. Looking back I think the relationship dynamic played a bigger part in my choice than I ever admitted at the time. The roles are just... clear. He provides, she takes care of the home and family. No blurred lines, no competition for the same space, no ongoing negotiation about who does what and why or whose in charge! That model large

Been thinking about the different types of foreigners who end up living in Thailand long-term. You see the same recognisable patterns over and over: the retiree stretching a pension, the guy who came for a holiday and never left, the English teacher buying time, the businessman in his Bangkok bubble, the digital nomad in a café. Most labels like this feel like they were written about someone else. The retired guy who's genuinely happy and integrated into his community doesn't see himself as the

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:55 AM1 day

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe
