Thailand's historic floods are now slowly receding. But in Bangkok, scores of evacuees are reluctant to go home. As the government discusses how to compensate flood victims for their losses, residents who are facing the task of rebuilding their lives speak out. 
For some reasons or other, water seems to have a mind of her own going and not going where as had been predicted. This again, I believe due to the heavy intervention by man to control the water flow, only to result in more chaos, panic and nuisance. Shopping malls some so unlikely to be flooded, at Robinson Ratchada especially, had closed their parking lots because the frantic neighborhood had moved all their cars into the multi storey parking lots. The departmental store Tops in the basement, had reduced their inventory clearing out the bottom two level of shelves in anticipation of the speculated flooding
Now the question on anyone’s mind here is not “when will the flood be over” but rather, “when will the bloody flood come???”. The media had kept many of us in central Bangkok on our toes for two solid weeks. This has caused unnecessary panic which resulted in the shortage of food and drinking water in the supermarkets.
I guess Thailand is one of the few places on Earth where one ponders how insurance can be claimed if one were to ram into a boat. It is indeed mystifying this situation. Thailand is also one of the few places on Earth right now that your friend calls you to bring him beer by boat should the flood sets in. Also, only here, we have live vest as part of household necessity items
22nd September has been designated as International Car Free Day. All around the world, people have been making the effort to not use their cars today, but instead use public transport or even get on their bicycle. Thailand has been taking part in World Car Free Day now for the last five years
Thailand's new parliament has sat for the first time, since the landmark election of the Red Shirt-backed Pheu Thai government. On Monday, the nation's Crown Prince formally marked the opening of the new parliament and the next day, it sat to elect a speaker. All that remains is for the incoming prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra to be endorsed. South East Asia Correspondent, Zoe Daniel reports. 
Thai people nationwide have been urged to display the national flag together with a yellow flag which has the royal ceremonial emblem marking the 84th birthday anniversary of His Majesty the King. Yellow represents the color of Monday, the birthday of His Majesty the King. For Thai people, the 7th cycle, or 84th, birthday anniversary is an important milestone in life and a special celebration is usually arranged on this occasion. In order to pay tribute to His Majesty, the Government has set the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 for the celebrations of His Majesty’s 84th birthday
I was just reading a typical Thai newspaper article. It involves a company shafting its employees and just sacking them and thinking they can get away with it as it is Thailand. Yum Restaurant International Thailand (YRIT) operates all of Thailand’s KFC outlets
Thailand is the worst place in the world that I have been for driving or riding a motorbike. I have never come across a race of people that blatantly disregard road rules and endanger the lives of others without a thought.
I have already started to receive letters asking about the political situation in Bangkok. The questions often go like this: “I’m coming to Thailand on holiday in a few weeks. Will there be any problems with the rallies?” As always, questions like these are very difficult to answer. I cannot predict the future
Every year, on the second Saturday in January, Thailand holds their National Children’s Day. It’s an opportunity for the youth of the country to be pampered and to enjoy themselves at various events throughout the country. Museums, zoos and some tourist attractions allow them to enter for free.
Khao Yai National Park is situated in the Sankambeng Mountain Range, the southern prolongation of the Dong Phaya Yen Mountains, at the southwestern boundary of the Khorat Plateau.[1] This park lies largely in Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Khorat), but also includes parts of Saraburi, Prachinburi and Nakhon Nayok provinces. The park is the second largest in Thailand.

One of the good things in Thailand is the lack of red tape when doing things. You want to open a shop, you just open it.
