Actually I can't remember, maybe 2003. Saw Man U too, where everyone wanted to see Beckham but only came on for the final 20 minutes and did nothing.

Same as me, but I have quit the booze, by FAR the worse. Interestingly, the way I quit booze is spiritual in nature. Some say that ganja is helpful in gaining a spiritual experience, others say it isn't. In my time in India, met many Sadhus who smoked dope, and many others who said it was detrimental to enlightenment. Bill Wilson, the founder of AA, which is what Marijuana Anonymous is based on, used LSD in his sobriety.

I saw them in 2002

Commission but really it's a government service. Only certain banks do it, KrungThai(govt bank) is where I went. Funny thing there though when I applied for a credit card, they asked for my passport. I gave them my Thai ID, which they studied hard and said OK, then went away to phone someone. They came back and asked me if I had Work Permit!

Those Southerners really don't like foreigners.

No it isn't. I cashed in the bank 3 weeks ago, just 4,000 baht and I am white. I needed my Thai ID and the form was all in Thai language.

There is a rehab in Thailand. https://thedawnrehab.com/marijuana-addiction-treatment/ I also know a government place which is much cheaper.

Not sure why. This is my personal experience and observation. When I smoke dope, I find it very hard to socialize due to paranoia. I have very dear old friends who have used for 40 years and on a recent visit to the UK, they were very reluctant to meet up with the rest of the crowd. However, I found they were much more interesting to be with than the drunks ????

Sleeplessness never killed anyone.

I'm far from a hater, in fact one of my favourite songs is Legalize It by Peter Tosh. Spent months on a Koh Panga beach in 1992 smoking weed and was the main reason I stayed. That said, I know many who have relapsed from recovery from alcohol addiction by thinking cannabis was harmless. One friend died. I feel its important to remind people that just because it suddenly, miraculously became legal in Thailand, it can be dangerous for some. I agree that most smokers will have no serious consequences, apart from eating too many donuts, or antisocial behaviour. Paranoia can also be harmful. I doubt there are Marijuana Anonymous meetings in Thailand, just as the are no Sex Addicts Anonymous. That doesn't mean they're are no addicts! I don't smoke ganja as I find it better getting to the root of my problems, rather than use a substance as a crutch, like I did for 20 years since age 14. I'm not telling anyone anything apart from there is help if wanted. If not wanted, just ignore.

I don't understand. I got the EUROS sent to the account a couple of hours ago and just took some out. Maybe you mean move from my EURO account to my Thai Baht account on Wise?

True that. One point may be that relatively few foreign resident learn to speak the local language.

I have accounts in those other 2 banks, I might use them, thanks. I'm sure I only spent about $3 making a transaction of a similar amount before.

I'm trying to send Euro to my Thai bank. For 1300 Euro, the cost is 9 Euro. This seems very high to me, is it normal? Wouldnt mind if it was only one transaction but I've got to do multiple times as can't send more than 50k baht.

Good band. I'll check out the book, thanks.

Can you rent then by the month?

I can understand if she was a bar girl but you say she has a corporate job. Marriage means different things to different people, I guess.

Why on Earth would you give your wife pocket money? How long have you been married? I've been married for 23 years and what is mine is hers.

Undesirable man saves bar girl from having sex with undesirable men every day. She only has to have sex now with an undesirable man once a week.

It's donation only usually. They won't do humans at a pet crematorium.

She seems to know a lot about this. How do the Police know what is a farang phone/computer?

Sad thread. Some 'save' bar prostitutes. Live and let live.

Going into a bar to tell people the dangers of alcohol is going to be met by derision, regardless of the truth, same with here.

Not sure but a friend buys them online and does microdosing. Lots of medical benefits with shrooms.

Is paranoia a side effect of smoking cannabis? No hate here, just some links that some smokers might find useful. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2014-07-16-how-cannabis-causes-paranoia
