Israeli Cannabis Farm Raided in Krabi Over Illegal THC Content

Georgealbert · Saturday at 11:34 PM1 day

Authorities have dismantled a cannabis operation in Krabi run by an Israeli national using Thai nominees, after discovering high-potency cannabis extracts far exceeding legal THC limits. The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) said the operation resulted in several arrests and the seizure of assets worth around 3 million baht. Officials say the network was producing and selling cannabis extracts with THC concentrations classified as illegal under Thai law. Get today's headlines by emai

Security Fears Prompt Reexamination of Thai Visa Policy

snoop1130 · 7 hours ago7 hr

Thailand's former National Intelligence Agency deputy director, Nantiwat Samart, has urged the government to prioritize national security and public safety over boosting tourist numbers. Concerns have grown on social media, with calls to revoke the existing visa-free entry policy due to issues allegedly linked to Israeli tourists. The current policy, introduced under former PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra, allows citizens from 93 countries to enter Thailand without a visa for up to 60 days, with an op

McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?
McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · Friday at 10:31 PM2 days

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa

Religion is no joking matter!
Religion is no joking matter!

unblocktheplanet · Saturday at 09:17 AM2 days

Don’t make fun of anybody’s religion… they might be right! The Nation of Islam worldview was dominated by an apocalyptic and prophetic vision which held that the African American, the "original" or "Asiatic" black man, fell into a state of social domination that began with slavery.'1 This situation was a direct result of the machinations of an evil black scientist, Yakub, who grafted white people, also known as "devils," from original black people a little more than 6,000 years ago.

Antisemitism…is all of us
Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · Friday at 05:36 AM3 days

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

Why Do People Twerk?
Why Do People Twerk?

Alpha84 · Friday at 03:04 PM3 days

After encountering countless videos of people randomly twerking online, I’ve landed upon a simple query. Why the ferk do people twerk? One might initially conclude that it is a form of core strengthening exercise. But after long hours of careful observation and extensive video analysis, I have compiled a list of what could be the five most likely explanations. An insect crawled up the bung. Emergency attempt to dislodge a wedgie of catastrophic proportions. Trying to shake loose a coin that

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · 13 hours ago13 hr

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Deficiency on a few vitamins. What should I do?

advancebooking · Saturday at 05:23 AM2 days

Ive been low on copper for 4 yrs and take 2mg everyday for ages. I tried upping the dose to 4mg before but felt a bit sick actually. My Vit D levels are just below the 30 normal range.

Cardiologist (angiogram/stent)
Cardiologist (angiogram/stent)

Letseng · March 10Mar 10

Had a heart attack a few months ago. Due to a kidney issue doc decided not to do an angiogram at the time because of contrast medium. Can't live with this heart problem as I can't even swim 20m or walk at normal pace. The cardio I see is not a person who explains or likes to answer questions how to get the problem dealt with. Any recommendations for a specialist in Bangkok.
