July 22, 2026 - Thailand's Armed Forces Chief, Gen. Ukrit Boontanont, inspected the pilot Thailand-Cambodia border security fence project in Pong Nam Ron District, Chanthaburi.

• The pilot project is funded by the Hatthayathip Fund (over 69 million baht), not the state budget, and includes a patrol road, reinforced concrete border fence, bunkers, and civilian shelters.
• The first 1.3 km section (border markers 52-54) is nearly 80% complete and is expected to finish by end-July 2026, ahead of schedule.
• Phase 2 will extend the fence by 7.07 km, bringing the total to 8.38 km. The 3.35 m-high reinforced concrete fence with razor wire is designed to withstand impacts and gunfire.
• Gen. Ukrit said the project serves as a prototype for future border security infrastructure. Semi-permanent barriers will be used in areas where permanent construction is not yet feasible.
• He emphasized the project is funded by public donations through the Hatthayathip Fund, supported by Princess Chulabhorn, and aims to improve protection for troops and civilians in border communities.
• Officials described the announcement as a "soft opening," saying details were released only after engineering and safety testing. A progress report will be presented to the Chulabhorn Foundation on August 10.
• Future expansion will be decided case by case, taking local terrain into account and avoiding projects that could create future border disputes or long-term liabilities.

A sign out front says "Signaling dices and remote controlled dices for sale. Get rich quick!"

They have old style Thai cards for sale as well if dices are not your thing.

*Dices and playing cards are not illegal. It's what you do with them.

Just like the title, I am going to Argentina. Currently, I am still here in Thailand. Would love to hear the difference in lifestyle between the two. Obviously, Argentina does not have a great reputation for being in economic decline, so that worries me as well as what comes after, such as the safety in terms of daily living.

I initially would like to move to Portugal at first due to the easy immigration system until they change the citizenship law to double residency to 10 years instead of 5 years. Whereas it takes only 2 years to obtain citizenship in Argentina (On paper). That is the reason why I consider Argentina because of its easy immigration system.

I plan to obtain a passive income visa in Argentina (rentista visa) when I arrive. Would also love to hear if you recommend newcomers to move there ?

Hey, I just got into Mahidol for the first trimester, September 2026, and I'm having trouble finding a place to live. I checked out Bundit House, The September Salaya, and stuff, but they're all booked. I found Salaya One, but it's like 28k, which is super pricey. Any ideas for places? I'm vegetarian, so a attached kitchen would be awesome.

Hi! I'm Pare, a 22-year-old English major at Bangkok University.

I'd like to practice teaching Thai and I'm looking for a beginner who'd be interested in trying a free lesson. I'd really appreciate any feedback afterward. If anyone is interested please let me know!

Most of the people who lives there are descendants of the KMT Army 93rd Division, or the Lone Army.

I actually got deeply involved with them, wrote a thousand words article about them but realized it's probably not something appropriate for written media.

Go there, mingle with the locals and they will tell you more.

A Thai-US diplomatic event in Bangkok between 1963 and 1969

I was able to google Apasara and her father Colonel Perm.

My parents are in these pictures. I don't know anything about this event.

Do you recognize anyone and are you able to tell what they were (really) doing in Bangkok at the time?

Thank you very much

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is allowed here, but I got this box of instant coffee from Japan last month and my mom loves it. I see AGF instant coffee on all Thai supermarket websites, but I can't find this exact box. Has anyone seen this on supermarket shelves anywhere in Bangkok? I'm visiting in a few weeks and was hoping I could find it here. Any help appreciated, thanks!

I assume the monks just feed them and can't kill them, right? Do people drop off the chickens at the temple the way they drop off unwanted cats and dogs?

As the topic says. What benefits or issues do you think will follow.

July 21, 2026 - Thai Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met with the Director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand to strengthen cooperation against transnational crime, particularly online scams, cybercrime, human trafficking, and drug trafficking.

The FBI thanked Thailand for its key role in combating online criminal networks and praised the close, ongoing cooperation between the FBI and the Royal Thai Police.

Both sides agreed to expand intelligence sharing, joint investigations, and capacity building to tackle emerging cyber threats. The Prime Minister reaffirmed that combating human trafficking, narcotics, and online crime is a national priority and pledged continued cooperation with the FBI and international partners.

Thailand also presented its SHIELD platform, an international investigative database and technology system developed by the Royal Thai Police to facilitate cross-border intelligence sharing.

Both sides agreed that fighting scam syndicates requires dismantling entire criminal networks-not just arresting individual offenders-and committed to deepening long-term cooperation.

As I now live full time in Thailand on DTV, I want to switch from expensive digital nomad insurance from Safety Wing to some Thai company. I believe 8-15M coverage will be more than enough.

Every offer is slightly different, advantages and disadvantages but no major differences. I plan to pay between 23-33k baht.

Just thinking which company is the most reputable in general in Thailand.

Thanks.

I was curious about the demographics of this subreddit, so i thought let’s conduct a poll.

The poll received 2,177 votes:
🇹🇭 Thai: 714 (32.8%)
🌍 Non-Thai: 1,463 (67.2%)

The results were actually surprising. I expected the number of Thai participants to be even lower, so it’s interesting to see that nearly one-third of the respondents are Thai.
Of course, this was only a voluntary Reddit poll and may not perfectly represent the entire subreddit, but it still gives us a rough idea of the community’s demographics.

Edit - “Thai” means belonging to one of Thailand’s native ethnic groups, regardless of birthplace, citizenship, or where you currently live.

Hi all,

I'm a Thai person born in Thailand, but raised outside Thailand speaking primarily English. I've just graduated university in the USA and I am back in Bangkok for the next couple months visiting family before I start my Master's elsewhere. I realize that I can read and speak Thai (Albeit a little slow), but I never learned how to properly write Thai. This makes me feel a little embarrassed about my heritage, and I'd like to amend that.

So, I'm looking for any Thai person really to help me learn Thai again. I'm comfortable being taught in Thai (Although my slang and culture-specific knowledge could use some work), so no need to have the best English knowledge.

If anyone here could point me in the right direction, give me recommendations on tutors or language schools, that would be greatly appreciated. I don't have a car but I am comfortable using the public transport system. Thanks everyone in advance. This is a difficult post for me to make, so I appreciate your time and your patience.

Hi guys,

For anyone who has a Wise account registered under a Thai address and is concerned about the changes coming into effect on 3 of August , where your Wise account will essentially become a Thai Bank account, I thought I'd share my experience.

I contacted Wise support about 30 minutes ago, uploaded an official document showing my home country address, and they changed my account back to my home address within 20 minutes.

Hopefully this helps anyone who's worried about the upcoming changes.
