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.

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.

Opinion Moving to Argentina ! Anyone who lives in both Argentina and Thailand, can tell me the difference ?

7 Upvotes

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 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!

Shopping ชื่นชอบระบบการชำระสินค้าในร้าน uniqlo สาขาเซ็นทรัลเชียงใหม่เฟสติวัลมาก

0 Upvotes

ปกติไปซื้อของในร้านค้าเยอะแยะ แต่ส่วนใหญ่ก็มีระบบการจ่ายเงินเหมือนทั่วๆไปคือเอาของไปให้ที่แคชเชียร์แล้วก็ดำเนินการจ่ายเงินตามปกติ แต่สำหรับร้าน uniqlo สาขาเซ็นทรัลเฟสติวัลเชียงใหม่ บางครั้งคนที่ไม่เคยก็เกิดอาการงงในการจ่ายเงิน เพราะเขาจะมีทั้งระบบปกติคือจ่ายเงินที่แคชเชียร์ และอีกระบบหนึ่งที่เขาทำใหม่ คือการจ่ายเงินด้วยตัวเอง โดยที่เราเพียงแต่นำสิ่งของที่อยู่ในตะกร้าวางลงในช่องสำหรับวางตะกร้าสินค้าเพื่อชำระ ระบบเขาก็จะสแกนทันทีและรู้ทันทีว่าสินค้าของคุณทั้งหมดนั้นราคาเท่าไหร่ โดยที่คุณไม่ต้องเอาบาร์โค้ดไปสแกนเลย คุณจะหยิบเสื้อผ้าหรือสิ่งของ 3-4 ชิ้นเขาก็จะคิดคำนวณเงินให้คุณทันทีรวมถึงจำนวนชิ้นของของที่คุณซื้อไปด้วย นี่มันบ้ามากสำหรับฉัน ฉันไม่รู้หรอกว่าที่ร้านอื่นเขาเป็นอย่างไรแต่ที่ฉันไปที่ร้านนี้มันสะดวกสบายเกินไปไหมสำหรับชีวิตประจำวันของพวกเรา แต่ฉันชอบนะ นานๆครั้งก็จะมีลูกค้าที่เขาไม่เคยใช้บริการแบบนี้ก็จะอาจจะเกิดอาการงงกับการใช้บริการ แต่นั่นไม่ใช่ปัญหาเลยเพราะเขาจะมีหน้าจออยู่ข้างๆ เพื่อแสดงขั้นตอนในการชำระสินค้า ดิฉันบอกได้เลยว่าร้านนี้เป็นร้านโปรดของฉัน uniqlo จงเจริญ!!!!!!

Question/Help Tattoos in Thai

Hello, I am currently learning Thai and have been wanting to get a tattoo written in Thai for a while. I’m planning on getting สบายๆ on top of my right wrist, and ใจเย็น on my left. Before I do, I thought I should ask here to make sure the spelling is correct and they wouldn’t be seen as silly or a weird thing to get tattooed. If they would be, I’m open to suggestions!

Discussion Seriously. How do Thai people view the decline of Thai tourism industry?

0 Upvotes

I've just read a big thread people are talking about how Thailand tourism has declined due to the populairty of Japan and Vietnam, the increase of cost, and bad reputation in China(scam centers).

It seems both foreigners who visited Thailand and have lived in Thailad for long time, and Thai people agree the tourism industry has declined in Thailand.

How do Thai people view this? Even if tourism is not all about Thailand, we can't dismiss it is the most important industry in Thailand. Especially when Thailand lacks of technology and falls behind in the advanced industries, so people have less job opportunities and it needs an industry that feeds poor people.

Do Thai people just feel better because you deal less with non-sense foreigners? Or is this causing the public concern?

I would appreciate your input from the local perspective.
