Lung addie: writing an article for the blog (3)
In this article the third category is discussed and that is the 'story writers'. These writers mainly talk about events that they themselves experienced and or observations that give the readers of the blog an idea of life in Thailand.
Bottle Art Museum in Pattaya closed
It is striking how many businesses are closed in Pattaya. Two main causes will play a role in this. The lack of interest from both Thais and tourists. A second cause may be the fact that the landowner no longer wants to rent out his piece of land and wants to give it a different use.
Two weeks ago, riots broke out between demonstrators and security forces in Roi Et at a hearing on the planned construction of a sugar factory in the Pathum Rat district. The Banpong Sugar Company wants to build a sugar cane processing plant there with a target capacity of 24.000 tons of sugar cane per day.
Murder of an ethnic Karen environmentalist
A Thai court in Bangkok has issued arrest warrants for the former head of a major national park and three park rangers. They are accused of killing an ethnic Karen environmentalist.
Sakchai's curious quest
Anyone who is somewhat familiar with the Thai press knows that they are full of curious 'petit histoires'. One of those stories that really intrigues me is that of one Sakchai Suphanthamat. Various sources, including even the Bangkok Post, have reported on this man's strange, if not bizarre, quest in recent years.
Driving in Thailand with a sidecar (video)
I've been driving a sidecar in Thailand for a few years now. Last week I had to pay the tax on the Yamaha and had to detach it from the sidecar, because the sidecar is not officially allowed.
It's been a long time since Lung addie wrote anything about amateur radio in Thailand. Well, now he has an important event that will take place very soon in Thailand.
Lung addie: writing an article for the blog (2)
Last month, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Thailandblog.nl, the main writers, known as bloggers, were put in the spotlight. This was a very nice initiative by the editors. Yes, after all, a blog cannot survive for long without writers.

Are you going to visit the Tham Luang cave complex?
Last weekend, hundreds of tourists flocked to the "world famous" Tham Luang cave complex, which was opened to the public after a number of architectural adjustments and the removal of rescue equipment that was still present.
A car accident with a lengthy process
It has been almost 10 years since the then 16-year-old “Praewa” caused a serious accident. She did not have a driver's license at that age. On the night of December 27, 2010, Orachorn drove head-on into a van at high speed on the toll road near Don Muang in the vicinity of Kasetart University, killing a total of nine people. Orachor was only slightly injured!

Tourism in Thailand on the decline
From the Netherlands I received an original newspaper clipping from the newspaper Trouw about tourism in Thailand. This article was written by Ate Hoekstra in Bangkok. Nice to read in a detour how things are in Thailand. No reason to pack your bags and travel straight back to the Netherlands.
Ocean Marina boat show
Ocean Marina is located on the Sukhumvit Road towards Sattahip. A large area on which, in addition to the harbor, offices are also housed and an area for maintenance boats.
Wealthy politicians and accountability for wealth
On Friday morning, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) invited a group of 80 wealthy politicians and government members to provide insight into their private wealth. Of these, 79 reported and one person resigned his office. The group had previously asked for a postponement of the investigation.
Motorcycle license for renters motorbike required
Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob wants to reduce the number of road deaths in Thailand through measures. Thailand has the dubious honor of being world number 2 in terms of road fatalities. It has been established that 74 percent of the accident victims are motorbike drivers.
Khu Phanna, the country's northernmost Khmer ruin
Khu Phanna, also called Prasat Baan Phanna by many locals, is somewhat lost among the rice fields at Tambon Phanna in Amphoe Sawang Daen Din, an hour's drive northwest of Sakon Nakhon city center. It is certainly not the most spectacular remnant of the Khmer Empire, but it is the northernmost building in the country that has been preserved.
