What can/should be done about the yaba crisis in Thailand?
How many people commit crimes because of drinking coffee? Young men asking for coffee money and because grandma is not giving it ,he kills her? No,i do not believe coffee is a major threat to Thai society.

What can/should be done about the yaba crisis in Thailand?
Really ?You are wrong!Did i suggest stronger punishment?It was more of a question to get people involved in this topic. Is your brain working? I am all for freedom of certain drugs but getting children on this deadly drug is terrible! I know stronger punishment does not help .lots of countries have tried and are still trying to win. Not looking for an argument,just wanting to have dialogue but you seem to be looking for something else. Have a nice day.

And kill little innocent children?No Thanks.

What can/should be done about the yaba crisis in Thailand?
There is already a voice in the government that has said upto 5 tablets will be simple possession and no jail time. I certainly would not want here what they had in the Philippines during the past few years. That is also not the answer. If adults abuse drugs that is one thing but getting ten year old kids hooked on this stuff is terrible!

What can/should be done about the yaba crisis in Thailand?
I am reading and watching a lot of info about what yaba is doing to Thailand. I believe it is turning into a real crisis and people are effected for the rest of their lives and not in a good way. Stronger punishment?More understanding and more open dialogue? Using this stuff is very dangerous and can not/should not even be compared to the use of alcohol or ganja. A lost generation?Some people even proposing to let people off the hook when they carry no more then five pills. It is cheaper than alcohol and available any where. Is the government fishing behind the net? I think a lot of this stuff comes from a country to the west and the profits are used for the war there. I have been told that once you get hooked it is very hard to go clean again. Any ideas out there?

Wildlife trafficker nabbed with protected macaques in Narathiwat
There are protected species that should be protected and then there are pests. These monkeys are pests! The amount of damage they do all over Thailand runs in the big numbers. Maybe not a bad idea to teach them to help people? They are far more agile then any dog and are motivated by food.

That will not help a bit.

Taking agility to a whole other level !
You need a dog with steady nerves to teach this. Start at very early age and you will be surprised what a good dog can do. Things like this are not very difficult to teach but it takes dedication. Malinois will keep going when a German Shepard will just give up.

Buying a used car that is under finance
Yes this. Go to the financier together and find out how far the payments are behind. Talk to the financier,that is who owns the vehicle. Normally you can pay for the car,receive the book and get it in your name. If you do not know the person,be very careful.

The juristic girl said I’m not allowed to clean my house!
Your main house?Did you not just sell all of you assets here as posted in another one of your bs stories? You lived here for a long time and you speak perfect Thai and you are talking in broken English with a Thai person? and you don't know after all your years here that you are allowed to basically do anything in and around your own house? Was she leaning on your fence? Maybe i am getting too old for this bs,you are the first person ever i will put on ignore.

and now the master himself.- Anyone experience with re-registering cars without blue book? Let me buy you coffee
That sounds to near normal price for an eleven year old truck,i would not even look at it if it does not have the blue book. Be smart ,don't do it!- Trans athletes should be allowed to play women's sports, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley
No,even in chess men are superior.- Trans athletes should be allowed to play women's sports, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley
Yes good idea,let Mike Tyson grow a set of titties and let him box against women! Do you see how ridiculous this is?- Speaking Thai - is it necessary these days for an expat ?
Watching some youtube videos i saw some UK guys making content and asking questions to Thai people in Thai language and the locals did not understand one word until it was asked again in English. Thais (or anyone) do not understand Thai language when spoken with a thick accent from another country. Talking louder also does not help. It is difficult for older people in general to learn Thai because we were not used to listening to tones. Fluent Thai with a bad accent sounds horrible! How is my Thai?I can go out alone shopping and i come back with something i might be able to use. Doing ok.- Fighting overweight and obesity
I think this is very important,what you don't gain you don't need to lose! In my family there are some very obese people and i see how they suffer. I am the same weight now as i was 50 years ago and i never gained or lost more then 5 kilo. You do not just wake up one day and realize you are 25 kg overweight! So much easier to prevent it! As far as diets go it is like using the bible,for every so called fact there is an anti fact if you are willing to look for it. We are all different and we all react different to many things. For the overweight people who claim they are happy with it? Keep fooling yourself,you know you lost the game. 15 kg overweight?That is the same as me carrying a bag of dog food around with me where ever i go and whatever i do!In this heat?No thanks.- Stale beer
Just checked in the fridge,two bottles of beer,1 year over date! Worst thing is,i have no hair otherwise i could use it as shampoo. Also found a bottle of wine that was given to us over a year ago,we had one little drink from it,should i toss that?- Hua Hin faces water rationing amidst severe drought
I came by the reservoir just the other day and it looked down a lot. Hopefully some rain later this week but it needs a real down poor.- Premium economy
