Two deaths linked with cannabis use and violent incidents reported in recent days by Thai police
Nonsense.... plenty of reports being bandied about on this, that is what is getting the potheads in a tizzy, creating their strawmen. A few more relating to those eating the stuff. I do not deny Meth is far more serious.

Online debate erupts after woman recounts unsettling experience with app-ordered taxi
I doubt you will... but more simply put, I do not have faith in the accuracy of reporting and what is put into print.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence..... particularly for personal experience.

News Flash: A man doing weed and drinking a cup of coffee goes berserk. Some Asian Now posters lay blame on the caffeine in the coffee as man was in an agitated state. (Those Starbucks prices eh!)

I do not believe the medical use is under threat, and more power to it.

Yes, that is probably the one to give up if one doesn't have the bottle to stop using both!

COVID infections falling steadily, fewer fatalities over past month
I don't believe I am having 3 vaccinations in my past.....I firmly believe the vaxes served a purpose, brought about benefit, saved a lot of lives etc....I regard anti-vaxers as the nuts who believe it's a government plot to dominate the world! But the situation with Covid today differs... I might be persuaded to have a Covid jab with the same thoughts as having an annual flu jab.

Because if they did not get done when the initiative and momentum and incentive was there, some years ago, I do not expect them to pursue it in recent times. Even I gave up on the idea after 2 and a booster.

Yes quite likely, there is political mileage in putting down cannabis.... I certainly am beginning to think it does not mix well with meth though!

I don't know how you come to that conclusion that they were anti-vaxers. I just expect many slipped through the cracks, or never really knew or understood what it was all about. In the early vax days, Thais were not getting the vax in great numbers.. I was of the opinion there was more focus on foreigners. Thailand also made a right mess of procuring them... hanging in for their own production to cover them... which got mired in bureaucracy (shall we call it). My wife's family made efforts to get their old mother done.. had they not it would not have happened. But to label them anti-vaxers, is senseless.

A Piece of Pattaya History Quietly Gone
I do agree..... after the initial 4-5 day bender, usually a couple of nights in Bangkok, then on to Pattaya.. it was time to find a keeper and do a bit of touring, Phuket, Samui, Koh Chang for several days to clear my head. Had some very good companions for those trips.....

Had a pal complaining of a Bolt driver insisting on more than the App said was the price...which he had rounded up by some baht anyhow. Perhaps they are becoming more like the taxis......
