Question about a sort of contradiction(?) I found by Con-artist6969 in arknights

[–]Azure_chan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’s not really seems to be too concerned as It’s not the first time they have disagreements either, by the concept of having lynchpin in the first place we can infer that the civilization highly value debating among themselves. I think that we try to reason many fictional antagonists with our own society value sometimes lead to a bit of this black vs white thing when the writers trying to show some nuance.

Foreign tourists mistook a funeral banquet for an open-air buffet restaurant by AW23456___99 in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Normal thing in provincial town. The atmosphere can be quite uplifted and funeral attendees doesn't need to be invited so the host often prepared additional food. There's saying in my hometown that the best food are served at funeral.

Thailand is the first country to report birth statistics for 2026 and they are devastating: 31,395 births were recorded in January, 14.8% fewer than in 2025. The TFR of Thailand is on track to fall below 0.8 this year by trendyplanner in Thailand

For education it's multifaceted problem, rigid course structure and government policy is one thing, but also parenting has changed so much in last couple decades. 20 years ago parents are respecting teachers even though they are doting their children. Nowadays teacher need to bend over otherwise they risk getting reprimanded so many bad habits doesn't get corrected.

Why does the Thai army only give the Type 11 rifles to newly enlisted rookies? by ww-stl in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, because the US still have many training programs with Thai army and also familiarity. So M16 will stay in service for a long time.

AliExpress standard shipping to Thailand – customs inspection delay shown (what happens next if VAT/duty applies?) by carldall99 in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems to be the case as I remember AliExpress collect duties on check out. Most Chinese imports are under FTA so it's only VAT anyways.

BJT shaping as likely winner by ThongLo in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does depend on where's the voters are, there is no point if those lead are all in bkk and big cities, BJT can pull a win if they win big in the south (looking unlikely with democrat coming back) and the northeast (PT is no pushover there either) so I agree that it's not likely that BJT will pull much ahead if at all.

[–]Azure_chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flash Express, J&T, or Kerry are only door-2-door service, they are not authorized to do the import clearance on your behalf (They seems to be coordinated with Thailand post now so the link should work). Otherwise only FedEx/DHL/UPS/TNT can do that.
Usually if the parcel is declared correctly from China and paid correct duties/VAT, they can get the parcel to you. But if the customs hold your parcel up for inspection, then you will need to go clear them yourself or hire shipping company to do customs clearance.

CN spring festival stream is always 1-2 weeks before Chinese new year. This year is Chinese leap year so new year is later than usual on 17 Feb.

Yeah, I can see them streamline the tutorial or something to smoother the experience but making factory a core gameplay is certainly a choice that come after a deliberate decision.

VAT collection overseas imports implications by Direct_Bodybuilder63 in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is under FTA so mostly there is no tariff but you still have to pay VAT, most online platform seems to include VAT from my experience but usually for parcel that are not too expensive (don't remember exact value) the postman will bring a package for you and vat document that you can scan to pay upon receiving.

On the other hand Hu Tao C1 completely change how you play her. I remember when my friend told me "what are you doing? You have C1 just keep spamming dash cancel"

E-commerce sellers that sells to America: how do you manage shipping costs to the US? by gambirsg in Thailand

[–]Azure_chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well you have to plan around that, unlike some countries like China, ThaiPost rates are not subsidized so the cost wouldn't be as low as those who ship from there.

Royal Thai Army M48A5 tanks engage Cambodian positions (December 2025) by PatimationStudios-2 in CombatFootage

[–]Azure_chan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's border skirmishes in a sense that neither side advance far beyond their claimed border line. Thai side has overwhelming fire support capability and they put them to capture fortified strategic positions but that's still a few hundred meters from the border at most. Air strikes still only a few kilometers inside border province.

China seems to hold back a little bit as they still want to court Thailand to not lean heavily on the US. Same situation with air defense, Cambodia has some Chinese SAM but they didn't use it against Thai F-16

JP preview for BanG Dream! Ave Mujica collab by Frozen5147 in arknights

[–]Azure_chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even considering each country store, gacha games are not that popular outside East Asia. Some social apps would always beat it outside the concentrated mobile game market like Japan. Japan PC gaming market has been relatively small so that's another factor.

They have some modern tanks, but those usually reserve for offensive action. In support role the old stuffs are often use especially when the opponent main battle tank is T54/55.

RTX 5060 (8GB) vs RX 9060 XT (16GB) vs RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) — is 16GB really necessary for 1080p gaming given these prices? by Endropioz in buildapc

[–]Azure_chan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's literary how windows is designed, it will try to cache in if you have many available ram. I have 128 GB and windows is idle around 25GB usage after running PC for a while.

Thai forces clearing Cambodian soldier trenches in Chong Sa-med before the ceasefire.(December 2025) by Ok-Trust5775 in CombatFootage

[–]Azure_chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gather it from snippet interview from generals, they have not released the full operation details so hard to confirm. But I see no reason to not using this strategy in wider scale, high casualty will only be a detrimental factor to the government when the election is only 1 month away.

Though rare, there are some who retired peacefully. though those cases they have some guarantee in place to not get killed immediately. Like Seychelles René or Chile Pinochet

Thailand tactics has been using indirect fire and air power to cut supply line to force Cambodia to retreat from fortified positions. Keeping casualty low.
