My parents are currently living in Thailand and, while they were visiting Pran Buri, they came across some very unexpected view... They found an aircraft, more precisely a 747, sitting in the bushes. They couldn't get closer unfortunately (sorry for the shitty quality picture). My Dad is a retired 747 pilot so obviously he's very curious about how that little guy made his way there.... I found old articles about an abandonned 747 in Chai Nat but I think it became the Bangkok 747 cafe ? So what's the deal with the other one in Pran Buri ?

Hi everybody,

I hope that all is well! I was wondering if someone can help me out. I am a social studies teacher who loves their job but I am very overwhelmed and burnt out. I have been looking into opportunities abroad as a means of seeing the world and exploring new opportunities.

I was wondering are there any opportunities for historians in Thailand or elsewhere in Asia? I understand many make documentaries on historical places in these countries but I am looking for ideas. I am currently unhappy in my life and am looking for a better quality of life and moving forward in life.

Got some honey on Lazada. The brand is Thai Honey Queen. Says it's summer wild honey. Is this a trustworthy brand? Anyone can advise on how to buy food quality honey on lazada?

Curious… Maybe a Thai person will have some perspective on this. So I am aware of many votech students ( apprentice?) working inside the building and Myanmar workers. This whole construction project with a generous budget seemed to be done on the “cheap” with inferior construction materials and hiring the cheapest workers to get the job done. So … is my observation correct? If so, someone (s) is pocketing some of the designated funds.

To those living in Bangkok – what are the spots, dishes or experiences in the city that make you think, "Damn, I love it here!"?

Hey guys, will have the chance to experience my first Songkran next week !

I was wondering if any of you have already experienced this party in other smaller cities such as Hua Hin for example, and if so, how’s the vibe ?

Also wondering if the party is only going to be on Sunday in Bangkok or follow up also on Monday and Tuesday as it seems to be national holidays here !

Thanks a lot for your help

Can anyone identify this song or the artist? Would love to add this to my playlist. It was posted as background music in a Facebook short. Soundhound and Shazam found nothing.

Can’t find it

So today I was on a flight from Brunei to Bangkok, landing at BKK airport. During the flight, I started talking with this late 20’s British sounding guy who seemed friendly enough at first. Randomly, without me even asking he told me he had just accepted a new job somewhere in Thailand. Yet when I asked where, he gave me the name of a town I’d never heard of—and apparently, he didn’t even know where it was either.

He said someone he’d never met was going to pick him up at the airport and drive him three hours to this unknown town. Already a huge red flag. Then he mentioned the job was at a military base, doing some kind of tech or IT work. A foreigner doing IT at a remote Thai military base? And if someone was legitimately working in IT for a military base, I doubt they’d be spilling details to a stranger they just met on a plane—almost like he was bragging. All of these facts put together were just very sketchy to me.

I brought up the growing issue of human trafficking and scam centers in Southeast Asia—how people are lured in with fake job offers, picked up by strangers, and taken to remote locations where they’re forced to work in scam operations. But the guy laughed in my face. He looked at me like I was completely insane—like I was some conspiracy theorist making stuff up. He flat-out didn’t believe me.

Then he made a joke about how he’s “not an attractive woman,” assuming I was talking about sex trafficking. I tried to explain that it’s not just women—men are trafficked too, especially for scam centers—but he and the older man with him (who I assumed was his father) just laughed together like I was out of my mind. It was honestly kind of insulting and awkward.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was very wrong. So when we landed at BKK, I quietly reported the situation to airport staff and asked them to check on him. To their credit, they took it very seriously and pulled him aside to talk with a cop. I caught a glimpse of his face during the conversation—he didn’t look as smug anymore. Maybe reality started sinking in. The last thing I saw he had his hands on his hips (thumbs facing forward) and then proceeded to talk on his phone (possibly to the driver/company).

I didn’t stick around to see what happened next, but I’m not really sure he didn’t get in that stranger’s car. But knowing that I tried my best to help gave me a bit of peace of mind.

Weird experience all around. What would you have done in my shoes?
