Saw a Farang down tonight (5 June 23) at the end of Soi 33 Sukhumvit. Young man in his twenties. I think he was riding a push bike as he had the lycra on and perhaps was not wearing a helmet. I didn’t see the accident itself. Broken arm, broken leg and head wounds. I am an experienced motor bike rider in Australia and have ridden a lot of Thailand and I wouldn’t ride in Bangkok myself. The traffic flows differently here and if you don’t understand the flow you’ll be lucky to survive. I watch the traffic here and frankly the only reason many Farangs survive is because the Thais make allowances for them. The pic is not to show any disrespect at all but just a warning to others. I hope the young man involved makes a full recovery. Kudos to the Indian lady who helped him by calling a friend on his phone and calling for the ambulance. I offered assistance but wasn’t much use :( Please be careful you take your life in your hands when you ride here.

I noticed that both MaxValu shops near my home in central Bangkok were closed last week. Now they have been completely shuttered and the signs have been removed.

Found one article (https://www.brandbuffet.in.th/2023/06/maxvalu-do-not-close-in-thailand/) with the latest comment from the brand according to which most of their shops (the unprofitable ones, they say) will shut down by July 1st, but they're not pulling out of Thailand altogether.

It's up to you whether to believe this corporate talk or not, but seeing they're in a haste to close their shops and that Aeon (the mother company) has been removing all of its ATMs in the past few years, they might be pulling out in the short- to medium-term.

Looking for some sort of aid for stopping smoking. Back in the UK we have patches, chewing gum etc. even a pill. Just wondering what similar items are available in Thailand, and wear I can buy them?

So I recently tried challenging myself to participate in a triathlon (Iron Man) and was wondering how one can train in Bangkok (i.e. place to bike, where to practice open swim, whether there's a community etc.). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone who knows how to make this so that it tastes anywhere near the original? Also, why isn't there a food flair on this sub?

Hello to all.

As per the title, I'm looking for spacious private transport from Bangkok to Maha Sarakham on the 11th of June.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Is there anyplace restaurant and / or grocery that delivers nationwide or region wide?

I like Thai food but where I am living at it is Thai food, Mediocre Japanese food or Pizza company.

Sometimes you want a good (not McDonalds) hamburger or a taco or god forbid some chili.

Only 100k from Bangkok but I feel like I am in the middle of nowhere.

Hi, any recommendations for best value for money suits in Bangkok ?

Preferably not in Khao San Road.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there!

I’m a 22 year old currently in my 10th month of studying Thai language, and on my first at Chulalongkorn University. I decided to attend the university to gain a credible certificate for having a useful skill in teaching over here in Thailand. I don’t know any teachers and honestly very little on how the process works, but how does one go about looking/beginning the process of an English teaching job in Thailand? E.g. Teaching certification, some kind of past experience, that kind of thing.

Many many thanks, it may be a silly question but as I said I know very little on it.

Hey there,

I am 24 years old and have had multiple tonsil issues over the last few years that affect my sleep and daily life.

I’ve been told by doctors here in the United States, that I need them removed.

Because of the long wait time and the cost of it to get done in the United States. I am tempted to get it done over in Thailand.

I’ve called multiple hospitals and it seems like it’s around 1200 United States dollars in order to get it done.

I was wondering if anyone has had an experience getting either tonsillectomy or other surgeries similar to this in Thailand?

Would you say the surgeons are Jessica because they are in the United States and that I would have nothing to worry about?

Or would you recommend I wait longer to get it done in the United States and pay more?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I'm a french guy currently in Bangkok for an internship with a friend. For his birthday, I asked some friends in France to send me few money in order to make a participatory gift. Do you know if it's possible to buy gift cards in malls, so he can choose what he wants. Is it possible at Terminal 21 ? Siam paragon ? Or something else ?

Thanks for your advices

Anyone know how to do 90 days reporting online? Appreciate any pointers.

My wife moved to the United States from Bangkok in 2007 when she was 13 years old. She has not been back to Thailand since then. She got her green card in 2007 and became a US citizen in 2018. She has not gone through any process to renounce her Thai citizenship (other than the US citizenship ceremony where you take an oath to "Renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty", but I highly doubt that has any legal impact)

I'm pretty sure she's a Thai citizen, but she doesn't have an active Thai passport. She believes that she isn't a Thai citizen because she believes that you're not a full Thai citizen before you're 18, or something.

Hello! I'm visiting this coming week and would want to visit film-related places or events. Please drop your suggestions. Thank you.
