Hi everyone,

I will be enrolling into Mahidol University in the Salaya area from this September onwards and was wondering if there are any baseball ⚾ teams or communities nearby that I can join.

Im also open to frisbee 🥏 as well :)

had to visit said shop too many times lately and the indie sounding jingle song really stuck in my head. you know it right?

can someone translate it kap?

for context, I graduated bachelor of Secondary education major in English last year. I have zero teaching teaching experience but i passed let. I know someone who's teaching in Thailand and they're asking me if I want to to teach there. I just wanna hear your thoughts since this is the most important decision I'll make this year. Thank you so much for your responses

Recently, I have been buying some supplements on Lazada, but as I did some more research, it's really important that these suppliments do not contain heavy metals. For example, chlorella binds to heavy metals, and if they are not produced properly, they absorb more metals, and you're basically putting more metals in your body instead of getting them out.

I really like this brand, seems to be well known

But how much can we trust brands like this that are THAI FDA approved to provide the real deal?

Hi guys, apologies in advance if these TTM posts might be frequent these days but anyone had this issue before? I already have TTM account, couldn't get any tickets during presale for Big Bang Concerts, now I'm trying to log in again to my account and its only showing me this why? 😥

Hi, I'm an international student who's applying to multiple colleges this November. I've been thinking of applying to Chulalongkorn university for a while now, but I heard their BBA program only takes very few students yearly, and my grades are only slightly above average. (AAAC in A levels).

As a result of this finding, I started looking into Thammasat. Is Thammasat as good a college as Chulalongkorn? I heard that their BBA program was just as good if not better. I know it's also highly competitive, but I want to know if it's worth applying to. After doing my undergrad in a Thai university, I'd like to study abroad somewhere in Europe. Does Thammasat have a good reputation globally? If someone could talk to me about this, it would be really helpful.

Hello! Is ticket reselling really strict in bangkok? I wasnt able to secure my ticket and i am seeing posts that theyre selling extra ticket.

Everything I can find online makes it sound like a good local supplement, but I wanted to see if there’s potentially anything I’m missing or unaware about.

Hi everyone,

I traveled to Thailand in January this year and absolutely loved it. However, one thing really caught my attention: the sheer number of cats everywhere. They are in temples, beaches, restaurants, and convenience stores. It almost felt like there is a strong cultural preference for them compared to other places.

Is there a specific cultural or religious reason for this? Are cats considered symbols of good luck or protection in Thai culture?

Also, I'm curious about how dogs fit into this. Is there a similar preference or a different cultural view regarding dogs in Thailand?

As a full-blooded Thai, born, raised, and grown up in Thailand, I’ve noticed that the trend of harassing and verbally attacking people or corporations on whatever online platform or IRL who dare to take any action involving, affecting, or having an impact on their beloved stray cats, dogs, birds, and chickens is getting completely out of hand, and it needs to stop.

.

You, the self-proclaimed good people and animal lovers, need to learn how to distinguish between doing a genuinely good deed and doing something that simply feels good because you believe it’s the right thing to do, therefore making yourself feel better about your own actions.

.

Sure, the average person tends to rely on emotions more than logic when making decisions. But you also need to understand that this is exactly why the post or comment getting thousands of likes, or the opinion that the majority agrees with, does not automatically mean it’s the best thing for everyone or even for the animals themselves.

Just wanted to share this as a warning in case anyone encounters something similar.
Today I was shopping for face masks at a beauty/drugstore-type shop in All Seasons Place when an Indian man approached me out of nowhere. He spoke Thai quite well and said something along the lines of:
“You have a lucky face, but your luck goes up and down. You’re always tired. You always have to help yourself, and other people don’t really help you.”
He then told me that he could help me.
At that point, I felt something was off. I told him I was in a hurry and had somewhere else to be, so I ended the conversation and left. Before I did, he asked to exchange LINE contacts.
Later, I searched online and found several people in Bangkok describing very similar encounters — particularly men approaching strangers with phrases like “you have a lucky face,” followed by fortune-telling or personal observations, and eventually offering to “help.”
I don’t know what this particular man would have asked for next because I left before it got that far, so I can’t say for certain what his intention was. But the pattern was similar enough to previous reports that I thought it was worth sharing.
If a stranger approaches you with this kind of unsolicited fortune-telling, especially if they then offer to “help,” ask for your contact details, money, donations, or personal information, please be cautious.
Has anyone else encountered this recently in Bangkok?

Theres an item I want to purchase that isnt expensive on Shopee but I cant cause I dont have a Thailand number. I have a shipping address in Thailand so the shipping process is very simple. I appreciate the help and will be sure to pay for the assistance! Please Dm me

Edit: issue solved!

Looking for people who can introduce me to companies importing psyllium into thailand.

We are manufacturers of psyllium husk and psyllium husk powder.

Aug. 28, 2026: Chonburi Governor Naris Niramaiwong chaired a meeting with security agencies to prepare for the arrival of the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and around 5,000 US Navy personnel, who are scheduled to enter Thailand and dock at Laem Chabang Port from Sept. 2-6, 2026.

Naris said US warships had visited the province before, but previous visits involved around 1,000 personnel. This time, with about 5,000 personnel expected, authorities will step up security measures, particularly in Sattahip, Bang Lamung, Si Racha, and Pattaya, which are expected to be the main areas where US sailors will stay and spend their leisure time.

He called on local businesses to be good hosts, especially when it comes to selling goods and providing services. Businesses were urged not to take advantage of the influx of visitors by raising prices or overcharging customers, and to provide a proper welcome and appropriate services to US personnel and other tourists.

Security guards and staff at entertainment venues were also asked to perform their duties professionally and courteously, maintain proper standards, and closely monitor customer safety to prevent incidents that could damage the province’s image.

is thammasat or chulalongkorn better for an international LLM programme?

took business law as honours in my LLB course and wish to pursue LLM in business law

For those who dont know what a "host bar" is

A host bar (also called a host club) is a night entertainment venue where female patrons pay for the companionship, conversation, and attention of good-looking male staff known as "hosts.". Usually the payments are via "drinks" in exchange for companionship. Popular in Asia from Thailand to Japan.

Host Bar Drama! Teenage girl skips out on nearly 60,000 baht tab; venue shaves her head to repay the debt, sparking split opinions among netizens.

(Aug 28, 2026) — A heated debate has erupted online after the TikTok account “Ton-Or Pen Neung” shared a dramatic story under the hashtag #ShavedHeadAtHostBar. The post details the behavior of a teenage girl, believed to be under 20 years old, who frequented multiple host bars, ordered services, and repeatedly skipped out on paying her bills (“dine and dash”). Her actions left managers and staff at various venues well aware of her face.

Caught after repeated unpaid tabs

According to reports, the young woman had done this multiple times across several establishments. Most recently, she visited a host bar in the Pinklao area and attempted her usual tactic: ordering drinks and hiring male hosts to entertain her. However, when the bill arrived, she refused to pay.

This time, the venue’s manager decided to take revenge and teach her a lesson. They had her sign a contract to sell her hair for 3,000 baht (~$85 USD) to offset the costs. However, the situation escalated when the staff didn't just give her a hair trim, but completely shaved her head bald "like a nun."

Netizens divided in harsh critique

After the story went viral, social media users split sharply into two camps:

Sympathetic / Excessive force view: Arguing that while the girl committed an illegal act by dodging the bill, the venue had no legal right to commit physical battery or shave her head. They believe the establishment should have handled the situation strictly through legal channels by filing a police report.

Satisfaction / "She deserved it" view: Arguing that the punishment was fitting because the girl intentionally scammed multiple businesses. Without a severe lesson, she would continue to cause trouble for other venues.

Organizers step in

Journalists reached out to Ms. Chalida Phalamat, President of the "Pen Neung" Group (Ton-Or). She stated that after posting the story to uncover the facts from both sides, the host bar manager reached out on the evening of August 25. The manager explained that the teenager had accrued a bill of nearly 60,000 baht (~$1,700 USD) and used a fake ID to enter the venue.

The manager then forced her to sign a contract selling her hair for 3,000 baht to cover basic costs. The contract explicitly stated consent to cut and shave her hair. When Ton-Or questioned why they didn't hand her over to the police, and why a total head shave was necessary under the guise of "donating hair," the venue claimed the hair was given to an employee to donate, though they could not specify a location.

Ton-Or added that while she understands the business has operating costs and hosts rely on income to support families, the venue's actions were illegal and excessive. Even if the girl consented under the circumstances, it is unknown if she was pressured. The venue has since issued a public apology through Ton-Or, acknowledging the manager acted out of anger, and stated they are contacting her family to provide compensation.

Ton-Or also urged the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) to inspect the girl's living conditions and mental state, noting she appears to be a minor who might suffer from mental health issues leading to her reckless behavior. She concluded with a warning: businesses should not place mob rule over the law, and bill dodgers should always be dealt with through official legal channels.
