British drug dealer arrested after his suspicious behaviour in Phuket
marcusb replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Semi trailer loads of illegal cigarettes proves otherwise as does booze thinned or made with methanol. Still lots of moonshine being made. All drugs have a crime element. -
Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
marcusb replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I bought a brand new iPhone SE at a nationwide electronics shop in Loei. She unpacked it and started setting it up. I told I will do that at home, no worries. I go home spend an hour setting it up and the thing is hot to the touch. I let it rest and play some more and still gets really hot. Next day take it back to the shop to exchange- no way, can not must send to Udon to authorized repair! 3 or 4 weeks was estimated repair time. I will test everything now before paying and going home. -
Deputy PM supports regulated cannabis use in Thailand
marcusb replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Did I say they recorded names? No, I did not. Currently shops sell recreational and medicinal freely, no need for a doctors note. Also people that do get prescriptions in the future will still be part of the public, so there will always public use. -
Deputy PM supports regulated cannabis use in Thailand
marcusb replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The shops I have been in recorded everything, as far as I could see. Grams, type, price. Some just took quick pics of the transaction to enter into books later. They were all licensed and followed the rules. (corruption probably same level as any other business here) 🙂 Let them collect 10% VAT and everybody could be happy. -
Thai woman flies to Thailand from Taiwan to stab cheating husband
marcusb replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
I would have thought 4 hours of flying, three airports, taxi rides, would have been enough time to cool down and work out a better plan. -
Thailand’s cannabis sector faces threat from recreational use ban
marcusb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
More of your stories, always the stories with you. In 2008 it was 30k a kilo, it never really changed until it was legal. 3500 for 100 grams was a common price. My prices are from Isaan and North Thailand. If one backtracked the kilos they usually came from police or military. Thats who got hurt the most in the legalization. Thats who is losing revenue. -
Swiss national opts for jail after assaulting Thai woman in mall
marcusb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Surprise! Sometimes in Thailand things aren't consistent. You should know that if you have been here since 2006. Some immigration offices need form a,b,c some want a,b,d,g,, Same with labour offices and requirements for medcheck for work permit. In Khon Kaen they tested for syph in Nan they did not. In Ubon they tested for Yabba in Chiang Mai they did not. Some Labour offices put your home address in the book some do not. -
Mike Tyson’s Thailand high: The cannabis 2.0 comeback
marcusb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
About two years ago his USA brand put out edible gummies. They were little ears. 🙂 He does have a sense of humour. 🙂 -
7 years ago went into a private hospital, retina had detached. They said they could get me in the operating room in an hour. But first Mr Marcus we must check your credit cards. They checked the limits on my cards and prepped me for surgery. I have no doubt they would have turned me away if credit check failed.

COVID-19 infections rising, public advised to wear face masks
marcusb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Whatever, you don't like masks. Fine. Dont make stuff up. The Canadian Women's Hockey team took the gold wearing N95s against Russia who played 2 periods without. The ladies were not complaining at all about breathing. So either you are lying or you have no idea what you are talking about.... could be both I guess. "hardly being able to breathe". grow up -

Civil service starting salaries to rise by 10%
marcusb replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Good news for them. Many perks but Govt wages are way too low here. -
had a 2022 Honda wave 110 new. With a bit of luggage the wobble was ridiculous, actually dangerous. Front end was way to light. 30-45 kph is always the worst zone, physics or something. Honda mechanics in 4 shops couldn't figure it out, I traded it on a 125. Sorted. Id get a different bike. I was coming up a mountain on a windy day with the 110. I leaned into a left curve and the the wind caught my front wheel. the steering went complete left, complete right and then settled down. I pulled over to change underwear and decided to sell the bike. I was surprised when one mechanic weighing in at 150kg had the same effect, I thought his weight in the middle of the bike would cancel the problem but no.

Retire ext of stay to extension for teaching
marcusb replied to marcusb's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Dang it. I forgot about the WP letter then immi then back to labour office. So the first ones to convince would be the labour office. Slim chance I think. Appreciate the response DrJack. -
Extension based on retirement completed dec 26 2022 at Immigration. Did the 90 day reports etc. Now would like to change to Non B (or extension for working, not sure of terminology) at immigration. As I understand it I can do it in country, my school says I have to go to Laos. Information would be appreciated a link would be fantastic. Any info I found didn't come right out and say what needed to be done. Thanks in advance

Russian tourist injured in Bangkok snatching incident

Travel in another city
marcusb replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I do the same, well I have my passport with me but use DL for check in. I dont think it changes anything as my DL has the passport number. Most hotels photograph or copy the DL and send it to immi. My local immi told me not to bother with tm30 anymore 'we know where you are" -
well not in the city I agree, the city is like typical Isaan. But only 30km out and you get into good riding. The mountain roads west of Nam Som are incredible, with no traffic.

Thai schools to re-introduce disease precautions as Covid cases rise
marcusb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Awww youse guys are sooo cute. Article never even mentions masking. 20 white knights charge in to protect the wee ones from certain death of masks. Covids over covids over covids over so why the heck do you guys keep opening up covid articles and commenting? I dare say if there were constant threads on unicorns or mermaids I'd have no trouble skipping past them. But for 3 years the anti covid crowd has to keep piping up their opinion, gawd you lot are worse than vegans! ???? -
The bad actors in Thailand’s cannabis industry
marcusb replied to george's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
That says more about you than about Thais. Try socializing in places other than 7-11 steps. The majority of Thais I know have nice houses, cars, motorcycles. They can easily afford good bud. The shops I frequent are 95% Thai customers. FACT.
