Been to multiple stores like watsons and boots in Thailand, and found out recently from a chemist that lactaid isn’t sold in Thailand. Is that true? What are your experiences?

23YO F out with a bunch of guy friends in soi cowboy last night. I two fireball shots and three white wines. I had no drugs at all and then suddenly I had Cotton mouth and I’ve been gurning. Confused, disoriented and I’m unable to hold a glass in my hand this morning (just shattered one across hotel room). Definitely some form of an upper almost felt like MDMA. What do I do????

hey, i’ve lived in thailand most my life but had to go back to the UK for a personal emergency for 4 months. i got back a few weeks ago, and since then i must hVe seen at least a dozen cars with their plates removed. one inside VTBS, another outside a 7/11, one in an international school, the list goes on.

anyone got any idea how these people get away with this? some new loophole i’m guessing. lmk.

Wolf Pack DNA,** **in collaboration with the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, is seeking public assistance in the case of 2024 Winnemucca John Doe: NamUs Case UP132364. 
The partial remains of an unidentified adult male were discovered near the Humboldt River in Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada, in September 2024. The individual was estimated to have stood between approximately 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. Eye color and hair color could not be determined. 
In life, the individual’s skull had been surgically reconstructed using two metal plates, likely the result of severe head trauma. The plates contained no serial numbers or identifying markings that could assist investigators. 
Recovered with the remains was a fragment of a “Goodfellow” brand waistband, a brand sold at Target retailers nationwide.
Based on forensic analysis and matches within existing law enforcement opt-in databases, the individual is believed to have been of South Asian and/or East Asian descent, with possible ties to China, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam. He might also have ties to the Hmong ethnic community.
Volunteers at Wolf Pack DNA began the investigative genetic genealogy process in January of 2026 in an effort to identify this individual. Unfortunately, due to a limited number of usable DNA matches within existing databases, as well as matches primarily associated with foreign nationals and/or individuals adopted from outside the United States, efforts at identification via IGG have stalled. These challenges are increasingly common in cases involving individuals with recent immigration in their familial lines or limited representation in consumer DNA databases.
Despite the lack of identification at this time, Wolf Pack DNA remains committed to supporting agencies in their efforts to restore names to unidentified individuals and to bringing answers to families whenever possible.
If you are part of, or have ties to, any of these populations and have already taken a direct-to-consumer DNA test, we strongly encourage you to upload your results to GEDmatch and DNA Justice and opt in to law enforcement matching.
If you have not yet taken a DNA test, please consider doing so through a company of your choice, such as Ancestry, MyHeritage, or 23andMe. Once you receive your results, you can then upload your data to GEDmatch and DNA Justice.
Anyone with information that may assist in identifying this individual is encouraged to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (775) 623-6419, the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office at (775) 785-6114, or visit the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) case page at:

I am an expat from France and I am moving to Bangkok next month, hopefully I will be safe with all these tech layoffs but who knows. That's why I was looking to buy a good but not pricey monitor in Bangkok. It looks like almost every model is double the price it is back home. How come?? Importing?

Do I look at the wrong sites? I looked around shoppee and central. How do Thai people afford their stuff when the price for an LG 34 inch monitor is 14k, while in France its 8k?

Any recommendations where to buy a good monitor?

Genuinely wanting to know for those with e-scooters. Where do you park it when you ride to i.e. a mall

I'm planning to get one for short journeys but really dont know where to park it? Are you even allowed it inside malls ? Do you even park it with the motorbikes?

So in Pattaya I could find the domestically produced Zyn priced at 80 bhat. Anyone knows where I can find those in Bangkok?

Me and my husband have been looking for a rental house, and honestly, dealing with agents has been exhausting.

Most of the agents we've contacted either take forever to reply, ignore half our questions, or start asking us questions without answering ours first.

One recent agent didn't even know basic details about the property. We politely asked if they could check with the owner before we arranged a viewing, but they just kept repeating, "If you want to see the house, schedule a viewing." Over and over. 😭

Like, why would we spend time and money traveling to view a place when we don't even know if it meets our basic requirements?

We're not expecting agents to know everything, but at least being willing to check would be nice.

Maybe we've just been unlucky, but it's been frustratingly common.

Does anyone know a genuinely reliable and professional rental agent in Thailand who actually communicates and answers questions? Would really appreciate recommendations!

Just to pet them not hurt I mean crowd them

Or do they give you infection, sliced flesh etc?

Venom Exposure: Most monitor lizards secrete mild venom from glands in their lower jaw. The venom is rarely fatal to humans, but it can cause:

• Rapid drops in blood pressure
• Localized swelling and pain
• Excessive bleeding (due to anticoagulants in their saliva and venom)
• Temporary nerve damage or numbnes

I saw people with pet lizards and assumed safety

My wife and I are staying with a lovely middle aged Thai lady in an informal and friendly guest house by the sea.

We've all become very friendly, and the service we've received has been beyond good.

As a token of our appreciation, we'd like to buy her an appropriate gift when we leave.

Can anyone give us any guidance as to what we can get her please?

Can minors or people under 18 register on THIM or is it only for adults?

Is there anyone using safety wings as their main insurance?
Ive had a shoulder pain which i paid in advance abt 400usd
They asking me tons of docs and info, i provided all and now they want a witness proof.
I brought a signed paper and they said they need sth like a video or an oficial doc.
Problem is that this injury happened at a private house where we have no cameras and it was a private house so it was only my gf and mea

Can they actually deny the coverage bc of this?
Imo makes 0 sense

An online uproar has erupted after a Myanmar national allegedly shared a photoshopped image deemed insulting to the Thai royal family. The incident has triggered widespread calls for his employer to investigate the matter and take full responsibility.

On October 26, 2026, TY Store-a wholesale secondhand clothing distributor-issued an official statement addressing the backlash. The company emphasized that they did not take the matter lightly and had immediately launched an inquiry into the employee's behavior.

Investigation confirms wrongdoing; employee fired
Following an internal review, the company confirmed that the employee had indeed committed the offense, which directly violates their corporate code of ethics and workplace regulations. Consequently, TY Store has terminated the employment of Mr. Nyi Nyi Lwin, effective immediately.

TY Store also expressed its deep regrets over the incident, which has now captured major public attention.

*** This situation comes amid ongoing sensitivities, with many Myanmar netizens sharing their concerns over GMMTV’s upcoming Thai remake of the popular Chinese series Scarlet Heart (Scarlet Heart Thailand). An online controversy was sparked after characters were seen wearing traditional Burmese attire in the promotional material.

Although the producers clarified that the costume design was inspired by a blend of Lanna, Shan, Burmese, and Chinese cultures, many Burmese remain unsatisfied and are demanding that GMMTV formally credit their culture.

*** It is suspected that political agitators have jumped on the bandwagon to fan the flames, escalating the issue far beyond a cultural debate in an attempt to stir up the situation.

Hey everyone,

I'm relatively new to this path and looking to connect with others in Bangkok or around Thailand who are on or interested in the Shakta path.

Whether you're just starting out like me and trying to figure things out, or you're more advanced and willing to share some wisdom, I’d love to chat.

Drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you're around and want to connect

Hey there Thailand community! As we get towards the holiday time of year, I find myself looking for gifts. My partner (a native Thai) is a big fan of books, as am I. I was hoping to get her an e-reader, but am unsure which is the best for books in Thai language. I have a kindle myself, but I know that is a garbage choice for Thailand given its dependence on the Amazon marketplace, closed software system, and limited selection of Thai language books.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for an alternative that offers easy use and easy access to Thai language works? Thanks in advance and an early happy holidays to everyone here!

Hi all,
I learn thai and am planning to buy a laptop soon. I dont live in Thailand but for my studies I think having a laptop with a dual keyboard with Thai and English would be best. I am looking into Lenovo models however I am struggling to find if I can purchase a model with a dual keyboard. When I look on the UK Lenovo website (where I live) there are no options for a Thai keyboard - only German, Italian etc. While when I look on the Lenovo Thai website I can only see options for Thai keyboards and I am not sure whether this would also have a English keyboard. I will be primarily using the English keybaord however would definitely benefit from the dual labels. Do you guys have any suggestions or insights?

Sawàt-dii khráp!

My American brother and his Thai fiancée are getting married in Thailand at the end of the year. I’m an opera singer and I’d like to sing them a few songs, one of which should be in Thai.

Please help me choose a song that’s appropriate for the occasion! Something solemn or joyous that will sound okay without any accompaniment.

Khàawp-khun mâak khráp!
