I’m (31m) thai but was raised abroad since 8 years old so I feel more like a foreigner than an actual thai. I’m based in Bangkok.

Thailand feels more like a place for vacation rather than my home country. I’d like to change that and feel more like a local by making friends that live in Bangkok.

I plan to move to Thailand so I came here this trip to see what it’s like to live here for a bit. Looking for new friends to hang out with to feel more like an actual Bangkok local. Maybe show me around and introduce me to new places.

I can speak and understand thai at a casual day to day life level of words. I can read thai a bit and very slow and can’t write or type in thai at all.

I’m a musician. I love music, guitars, traveling, food, movies, chill nightlife, night markets. Also into philosophy, psychology, spirituality or even just casual random conversations. Not so serious.

Also like to exercise and can play most sports. Tennis, golfing, biking, hiking, soccer, basketball, table tennis. I can talk about almost anything because I’m interested and open in learning new things from people.

Hi There,

I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me - I visited Thailand in the early 2000's and during that trip I visited temples. One of which I made a donation and the monk gave me a bronze statue. It's been with me every since - I brought it back to Canada then when I moved in 2005 to Asia (Hong Kong/China) it was with me, I returned back to Canada in 2020.

The statue has some writing and graphics on the underside (it was plaster filled) - I'm wondering if anyone could help to shed some light on what it means? As I understand it, it's likely not thai but Sanskrit or Pali (thanks Gusto88)

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or help you can provide. Thanks,

Daniel

I’m on my second last night in Bangkok and Thailand before heading home and I cannot find the 7-11 (larger) tote bags. Have checked random locations around IconSiam and Sathorn, among other smaller locations. Even in Phuket.

Does anyone know what locations in Bangkok still have stock available?

Please and thank you!

Hi everyone!

We're a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids aged 8, 12, and 16), and we'd really love to visit Koh Yao Noi!

However, we're a bit worried about how to get around the island as a family of five.

Does anyone have any tips or experience with this?

Is it possible to rent a tuk-tuk and drive it ourselves? Would it even fit 5 people? Or maybe rent a car?

And let's be honest, going to Koh Yao Noi without being able to explore the island would be a shame, right?

Hello! My home is Malaysia, but my boyf is Thai. He and his family speak Thai pretty much only at home, so it’s nice to be surrounded by it but I want any and all tips for learning the language best I can because we are planning to get married and probably live in Thailand. But I want to be able to get by before we move out there.

For the record I only have experience with mandarin, English, Malay and a little Tamil but none of them are actually like Thai, as I’m sure you guys would know.

Thanks for reading!!

Hii everyone 🥹💕
Watching Thai BL dramas has made me fall in love with the Thai language, and now I really want to learn it! 🩷 I’m still a beginner, so could you please recommend some good apps, YouTube channels, or free resources to help me get started?

Hi Everyone!

Could you share your thoughts on Mae Sot? I've been offered a teaching position there for a few months through a TEFL program.

What is the situation like there, especially because it's so close to the Myanmar border? What is the area like in terms of scenery and nature?

I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to share your experiences or opinions with me. Thank you so much! 😊

Hello everyone! I'm a high school student from Thailand, currently conducting a research project on the factors that influence foreign tourists to wear traditional Thai clothing.

Thank you so much for your time and help naka! 🙏🏼

Share some info or stories u've heard abt it too if u can im curious 👀

My grandma told me one time the communists raided and massacred a police flat but it was in such a rural area that nobody covered it ig

We’ll soon be taking the Bangkok–Surat Thani night train; has anyone taken it recently? Could you tell me if it’s still running? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I used to take +30 days on Airbnb when it was 60 days visa exemption.

Since the 30 days exemption, I plan to stay 28 days (in case flight got delayed) on my next trip, but I wanna have an Airbnb because I don't like hotel. To stay in the thai laws, I need to have 30 days minimum for Airbnb.

Can I take 30 days on Airbnb but stay only 28 days in regards to flights tickets ? how the IO will look at this if they ask me why the difference at immigration ?

Thanks in advance
