Is family health insurance in Thailand worth it?
A family’s day in Thailand can change in an instant when an accident sends a child to the emergency room, with medical bills rising beyond USD 10,000 within hours. While Thailand appeals to many expat families for its safety, lifestyle, and education options, healthcare costs can be high, especially at private hospitals.
For families living in Thailand long-term or meeting visa requirements, family health insurance helps control expenses, secure access to quality care, and provide peace of mind when the unexpected happens. Continued …
Foreigners wanting to adopt a Thai stray dog — here’s how
Recently, a couple posted on the social media forum about their experience near Chiang Mai. They found a puppy being bullied by other strays and felt compelled to help.

Thailand Election 2026: How justified is the call for a nationwide vote recount?
Recount. Nationwide vote recount. The Election Commission must resign. A new election altogether. These are the growing demands of some voters, particularly supporters of the People’s Party, who believe the Feb. 8 snap election was not just rigged here and there but systemically manipulated.
A recount in evidently problematic constituencies or even provinces makes sense, but a nationwide recount or reelection? That is major and should not be demanded lightly. We would need evidence of more widespread irregularities to infer that rigging was nationwide and systemic. Continued …

Top IT risks Thai SMEs cannot afford to ignore
Many Thai small and medium-sized businesses — often run from homes, co-working spaces or cafés — face rising cyber risks that can be as harmful as a flooded shop or a lost delivery. From careless clicks to old software, a single mistake can stop a small team’s operations.

Surviving the collapse of the population
The global average birth rate has halved since 1960 and is now just above the “replacement” rate of 2.1 children per woman. However, that is misleading, as averages often are. Only sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East still have the old, high birth rates. Everywhere else there is a rising panic about a future where the old will outnumber the young. Continued …
