  1. That's not my only downside... for whatever reason, the vapes make me cough a ton more than smoking... I really wish it wasn't the case, because I believe they are less harsh on my lungs.
  2. I'm giving this a try... So, I'm pretty set for cannabis suppliers... But, I recall quite a ways back having a couple of contacts on telegram or whatsapp who had "additional goodies" available. If anyone knows such a contact, hit me up please. Down is better than up for me, fyi. ta
  3. Actually, for me, infusing oil is MUCH better for my respiratory system. I consume it orally, and thus my actual smoking is reduced by more than 65%. And now, I'm mostly smoking hash, as it also requires less smoke per effect, in my experience.
  4. I would like to find one or two older cats to adopt. I live in a pretty good sized flat in a quiet road in Phra Khanong. They would be house cats. Most of the stuff I'm seeing on search engines looks a few years old, so I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience/information. Thanks,
  5. Thanks. I probably ought have circled back there, but I think I just used the website here, and selected email to communicate.. likely my bad. Bottom line: The product finally arrived 7 days later than the first provider, so I guess they're honest, but slow....
  6. So this was a provider recommended above. I placed and paid for my order 7 days ago, at the same time I placed a trial order with another provider recommended here. the first provider's product arrived within 28 hrs. and was as advertized. This provider has sent nothing, and not replied to 3 of my emails thus far. I'm not making any recommendations here, just providing my actual data/experience. Do with it as you will.
  7. My building is called The Winnetka. I believe it's owned by a single family, so, not sure they'd be interested in selling...
  8. What a great reply. I actually lived in Rayong when I first got here, about 14 years ago. A bit quiet for my tastes. On the other hand, the golf cart sounds super cool, although not practical here in bkk... I found a very cool older place, actually a 126 sqm 2 br, in a quiet, but easily reachable to bts and all, in Phra Khanong, for about 25K. Not bad for this part of town. All of the built in cabinets and closets are hardwood, in beautiful condition, and the tile floors are also excellent. So, I got what I was looking for in the end.
  9. Yes, if I could do that, I certainly would have. But I have pretty severe coronary artery disease, and I'd prefer not to drop dead walking every soi between Chidlom and On Nut. Hence, my question. But thanks for the advice.
  10. Actually, I meant that the building owners are unironic about it, which itself is ironic.
  11. The images are most probably fakes.... probably from some nostalgic production from the period. The truth is, most of us were wearing elaborate costumes. For guys, the hair was often more than enough for identity, and ostracism by "society". If I'm honest, bell bottoms and a blue double-pocketed work shirt with an Army jacket was my typical uniform from about '67 - 73/74 (when Nixon got the boot). After that, the look became entirely co-opted, assimilated, and ultimately replaced by the first disco boom in the late 70's (Saturday Night Fever) era. The hippie revival didn't really start until post-Reagan era. when anything in the past looked better than the cultural void of the 80's. This is much more what we usually looked like, day to day.
  12. So, I've only been here for about 14 years, but it seems like the rental market has changed so much. Modern construction is typically quite small, often under 40 sqm for a 1 bedroom. In contrast, looking at a lot of the construction from the 90's and early 00's, the rooms are a lot larger, and there is often much nicer wood used for cabinets, tables and the like. Many such flats are available in smaller buildings, sometime calling themselves unironically "mansions". I lived in one such place on Suk Soi 27 back in the day, and it was super convenient, and quite low priced. I've spotted one or two such buildings/flats for rent on FAZWaz, but I'm wondering if anyone knows any other resources (other than walking the neighborhoods) for listings of this type of place.
  13. Very VERY specifically, I'm looking for a place to buy weed to make edibles and oil. So, anything with a decent thc count and a price in the 100 grams for 900 or less is fine with me. I just got ripped off for the first time tying to buy from a seller on Line, so if you have first hand experience with your suggested vendor, so much the better. You can reply here, you can dm/pm me, whatever you'd like. Line, Telegram, Whatsapp, all are fine for me.
  14. Wow, no idea where this thread has gone, but I'll try here first before creating a new one. Very VERY specifically, I'm looking for a place to buy weed to make edibles and oil. So, anything with a decent thc count and a price in the 100 grams for 900 or less is fine with me. I just got ripped off for the first time tying to buy from a seller on Line, so if you have first hand experience with your suggested vendor, so much the better. You can reply here, you can dm/pm me, whatever you'd like. Line, Telegram, Whatsapp, all are fine for me. But again, all I want is legit contact information, so if you have any other suggestions/advice/opinions, you are, of course, welcome to post them here, but please do so knowing they are utterly useless to me. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
  15. So, I found one interesting contact on telegram. dm/pm (?) me for details.... and please share any you have found, either here, or direct message (there, that sorts it).
  16. Sorry, I can't recall the specific one you sent me... old age as much as cannabis, I'm afraid. But, there were some product lines, i.e. edibles, and brick product suitable for creating edibles, things of that nature that I can't seem to locate anymore, since the line shops went away. There are countless sites with very nice flowers in the 350-800 baht range, but I'd prefer to spare my lungs. Anyway, it was like the were all there one day, and vanished the next... so, I can't be the only one inconvenienced by that...
  17. ok, I'll be brief this time. All of the online shopping results from a "kush" or "edible" search on Line Shopping are now gone. There are still some websites, but they don't compare in terms of variety and pricing. If someone knows of another comparable resource/manner in which these vendor now do business, please let me know.. on this forum, or you can msg me with the info. Much appreciated.
  18. Bro, your memory is a bit limited. I was thinking today about quality, and remembering getting sold a dime bag of oregano by a very hot hippie outside the Filmore East to see Joplin in '69. And I was like 14, I needed that $10... luckily the usher had a 4 way hit of acid that she shared. But, rip offs were an integral part of the drug scene from day 1. It was much easier when you were trying to be low key, because you were committing a jailable crime buying a joint.... I've been batting about 90% with products purchased online here in BKK, both in quality and in weight... so, these are the good old days, imo.
  19. Ok, not sure if this is the place for this or not, or what's "ok" to say or not, so lmk. So, I've only been purchasing cannabis here in BKK for about 2.5 months. In that time, I became aware of the ability to use the Line Shopping feature with certain key search words to find ample product supply with delivery. However, recently this isn't really the case anymore. So, two things: 1. is this a regulatory thing related to flower sales? 2. Can anyone suggest, if it's appropriate to ask, what alternatives exist for someone who's not in the middle of town and would prefer to simply order online. Thanks,
  20. yes, but there's still a bureaucracy regarding notifications, i.e. local police/hospital, actual funeral home/crematorium, US Embassy, and transport service. Fed Ex isn't going to do that. And that's all the rigmarole that I'm seeking to spare my kids from having to sort out at that time. BTW, I'm going with Asiaone. The pricing is very comparable among those I've contacted, and they seem the most professional. Anyway, I've done my best. If it gets <deleted> up, I won't be there to worry about it anymore.
  21. Wow, these things do tend to stray, and get personal. As to what's "proper", both in terms of perspective and behavior, well, I believe both are entirely subjective, and the cultural and religious bias regarding death and post-death rituals render the opinions of others valueless for me and my family. My primary inclinations in this matter stem from the passing of my parents. Omitting all salient details suffice it to say I emerged from those experiences convinced that watching me breathe my last, and/or dealing with the disposition of my corpse were not memories of me I wanted to exist for my children, with the prominence they do for me vis a vis my parents. Having said that, there were conversations and no opposition at all to my intentions. I have a couple of favorite spots in Southern California, and I can rely on my kids to make a nice morning or sunset out of emptying the coffee can and bidding me a fond farewell. As to the one remark regarding having some sort of physical touchstone, such as a grave or even a small urn memorial, such as you see in Korea or Japan (here?), I've never understood the value in a post rural culture for such an item, and, given the electronic presence we all have which will unavoidably outlive us, reminders of my very happy, yet in no way significant life, will persist past the point of any interest at all. So, for me, it's all about no muss, no fuss.... My relationship with God, and my family is not a constraint on my decisions in any way.
  22. it's a request of my kids, who also don't adhere to any specific religious tradition..... I care about them. I'm just saying that the actual "arrangements" in my family of origin's traditions were "a lot", especially when being done quasi-remotely. Given what I know about Thai administration, I'm hoping to spare my kids from much more than a notification that I've passed, and arranging to pick up my ashes, or have them delivered.
  23. So, I'm not getting any younger, and I'm quite alone for the remainder of my days here in Bangkok. My kids are grown, in the US, and needn't deal with all the bs that I went through with my parents at their ends. So, I plan on being cremated here, and having my remains shipped back to California to be disposed of. Has anyone got any experience/recommendations for service providers in this regard? I'm already in touch with AsiaOne and an outfit going by Be Assistance, apparently out of Cairo. But any/all additional recommendations are appreciated, and if anyone has ACTUAL experience with the process, that would be most valuable. Thanks
