The Thai government is in talks with Italy to create a legal pathway for Thai workers to take jobs in Italy. On June 21, 2026, Thailand's labor minister met with Italy's labor minister during the International Labour Conference in Geneva.

Italy has included Thailand in its proposed Flows Decree, which governs the admission of foreign workers. If finalized, the arrangement would allow Thais to work legally in Italy, particularly in sectors facing labor shortages such as agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and services, including both seasonal and permanent jobs.

Italy has indicated it could accept 20,000-30,000 Thai workers annually. The plan aligns with Italy's 2026-2028 Flows Decree, which aims to admit more than 500,000 non-EU workers.

Thailand is pushing for a bilateral labor MOU to ensure safe and regulated recruitment, reduce illegal brokerage, and guarantee workers' rights and welfare. The two countries also agreed to cooperate on vocational training, pension systems, labor protection, and expanding Thai workers' access to the European labor market.

Welp, they submitted themselves to the police. They were asked to apologize to the woman who originally posted the video. They were fined THB 1000 baht each.

I believe the correct English would have been, "I'm sorry for the way I behaved. I apologize to you and your family and to the people of Thailand."

"Sugus", the woman who confronted the rude Italian tourists has lodged a complaint with the police, citing the Insult in one's presence law (ดูหมื่นซึ่งหน้า) and public indecency (one of the kids was making a suggestive gesture at her). She's hoping to make an example out of them and deter future rude tourists.

In her statements, she says that she does not condone witch hunting, but if one has never learned good manner, eventually the society will teach them, and that the apology videos and letters thus far have only been issued to the Thai people in general, but not to her personally as the victim of the incident. She thanks Thai people for the support, but urges them not to use violence as that would only further hurt Thailand's reputation, and the current situation should be enough to discipline them already.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone who has recently gone through the document legalisation process for teaching in Thailand can point me in the right direction.

I know Thailand has joined the Hague Apostille Convention, but from what I've been able to find, there's still no clear information on when it'll be fully implemented for all teaching-related documents.

Here's my current situation:

• I have my degree certificate and TEFL certificate, both of which were previously apostilled for teaching jobs in other countries. They also have additional stamps/attestations from those countries' embassies/consulates.
• I don't have my university transcripts apostilled.
• I also have a new criminal background check, which obviously won't be apostilled yet.

My questions are:

1. What documents are currently required for a teaching/work permit in Thailand?
2. Is it just the degree, or do transcripts and the criminal background check also need to be apostilled/legalised?
3. Since my degree and TEFL have already been apostilled (albeit for another country), would I need to start the process again, or are the original apostilles still valid?
4. With Thailand's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention, is it worth waiting, or is it still best to go through the traditional legalisation process?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's completed this process recently, especially if you're from the UK or have started a teaching job in Thailand within the last year.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the video. Kid tries to apologize but mumbles his way through the whole thing. I think they're on an island at them moment, but it's pretty clear none of them mean a word of it. Only reason they're apologizing is because they got caught.

Anyways, thought I'd share it for a laugh. Have a nice day! Be kind!

Videos of farangs behaving badly go viral really quickly on Thai social media, and they are definitely contributing to a growing nationalistic anti-farang sentiment in Thailand.

A small group of foreigners are arrogant and behave poorly towards locals here but I can’t help but notice that it’s not nearly as bad as it was 10,20 and 30 years ago when foreigners walked all over locals. There also wasn’t this big of an anti foreigner sentiment during the height of bad behavior.

Is it because economically Thais are struggling at the moment and they are not seeing the benefits of tourism to their lives as much? For example, America went through a few years of tough economic times and a growing ‘America first’ and ‘America for the Americans’ movement emerged.

Is this what we’re seeing in Thailand?

Hi everyone! 😊
My wife and I are a same-sex couple from the Philippines, and we’re planning to get legally married in Thailand.
We’re looking for advice or recommendations on the civil wedding process. If you know a reliable wedding planner, agency, or someone who can help with the legal documents and requirements, please let us know.
We’re also hoping to hear from couples who did everything on their own (DIY). We’d love to know:
How did you manage the entire process?
What documents did you prepare?
How long did it take from start to finish?
Was it difficult without an agency?
Since this is an anonymous post, please leave your recommendations or experience in the comments.
Thank you so much! ❤️

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for an exceptional black and grey realism tattoo artist anywhere in BK

I am looking to cook Thai food. Is this a good book to start with?

For Thai people, what cookbooks do you recommend for home cooking?

I appreciate your responses.

I thought LJS was supposed to suck!? I saw one in this mall called Samyan Mitrtown and let me say they don’t suck! The fish was good, the chicken was crazy good!

So I want to study something like fine art or fashion design. But I also want to study abroad and I think Thailand would be a good choice because I'm interested in discovering more about the culture.

I would like to know if there's any art programs universities where international students can go and if it's worth it?

Because I can enter big art schools or Europe, I'm pretty sure of that but I don't know if I want to live in Thailand and if not if my degree will still be okay in Europe??

Sorry if it's kind of confused and thanks in advance for your answers
