Hi everyone 👋

I’m Thai and based in Thailand.

I joined this group because I often see foreigners asking about daily life, costs, and how things work locally.

I’m happy to share local insights or help explain things from a Thai perspective if it’s useful — especially to avoid common misunderstandings.

Looking forward to learning from this group as well.

😊🇹🇭

Is there anyone here who lives in Hat Yai or has spent time there. I can find very little about it other than local tourism and Wikie.

Thanks

Just saw that Foodpanda lost thr battle for delivery. Anyone have inside insight into this? I know Grab has an advantage because they use the tech from Uber... Foodpanda hurt themselves marketing-wise by not just being Panda.... But I'm still surprised to see them now out.

On a different note, I’ve been informed by a very nice Frenchman selling pizzas at the lake side market in Khon kaen that’s it’s going to rain heavily on Monday 8th may at 6am,.my weather apps been predicting rain and thunderstorms for weeks now and littles happened,.if it does rain big style it could disrupt people’s and my travel plans,. Don’t shoot me I’m only the messenger,.:UPDATE:( well looking out of the window, at 9.30 ) it seems my “French” weatherman was wrong,!.

Hi! Coming to Thailand (one of my fav places in the world), and looking for advice since I haven’t got a chance to travel all over. Looking at documenting all of the unique people, places, groups, that makes Thailand unique. Anything from adrenaline, cultural, historical, weird, only things you can find there. Love any insight. Thank you so much in advance! ขอบคุณ

🙏🏻🇹🇭❤️
