I've driven in many countries around the world, and without doubt, Thais are the worst drivers I've ever had the misfortune to encounter!

5 minutes ago, dinsdale said:As for your 3rd friend are you saying he lost his will, his job and his house simply because he smoked dope?
Yes, exactly. He dabbled a bit on occasion "for medicinal reasons", but I came back at the end of 2022 to find him skiving off work and sitting in weed bars continuously. 6 months later the job was gone, 9 months later the house was gone. He couldn't even be arsed to rent the house out as an AirBnB. Totally lost the will to be a productive member of society.
As for friend #2, he openly admits himself, smoking dope absolutely led him on to hard drugs.
Believe what you want. It makes no odds to me.

I have three friends who regularly smoked weed from their mid teens. One kicked the habit in his late 30s, early 40s, and is fine, the second progressed to hard drugs, and thankfully managed to get clean about 8 years ago... but his brain is frazzled. He was my best friend at school, but we lost touch when I went to work and he went to college, and got in with the wrong crowd. Drugs totally f****d his life up. The third guy, here in Thailand, now in his late 20s, had a good job and had bought a nice house... lost the will, lost his job, and lost his house! Now lives with his mother in Issan, and no longer even chats with anyone. He's just stoned all the time.
I'll pass, thank you. Doesn't appear to be as "harmless" as people claim.

I have been here for many years. Long ago, I owned 2 condos in Thailand. Today I rent. Now, I would never invest one baht in this country.
When i first arrived 25 years ago, a friend said "never invest anything here you can't afford to lose". Every single transaction I make to this day, I bear his advice in mind.

Hopefully the sun will behave going forward.
Not likely. The sun's currently at the peak of its 11 year cycle of activity, so there's probably a good 8-12 months of [relatively] high activity to go.

Thailand has been hammered by searing heatwaves this year, leading to dire consequences such as infrastructure failures
Because the infrastructure here is normally so robust... 🤔 🤔

What do you think is the consequence of defrauding the Bitish Government going to be ?Send you some roses perhaps?
I have read that the consequences are that retirement payments will cease.
Congratulations for slipping that one in without being pestered for a link! Oops! Sorry, that's done it... 🙄🤣🤣

Higher ups not happy what he was investigating.
My better half thinks he's already signed his own death warrant, and would be better off out of Thailand.

this is what happens when <deleted> thai cowards are mixing with innocent western young girls trying enjoy a holiday - this is not "shark tooth ring" only rodeo,
people especially young western women should give this island a very very wide birth
you think you are having fun with the locals (avoid at all costs) until you are expected to do something you don't want to do..............then you are in a heap of trouble, never ever be alone on Death Island, Koh Toa - there are predators who will not take rejection lighlty - cowards
be very careful on that island
I really don't understand the mentality of anyone who still supports that island. I've been asked to go numerous times, and recounted the events every time. I discourage anyone and everyone from ever going there.

Given those figures , surely there not correct. That’s around average of 150 passengers per flight . The bigger planes can carry around 600 . Another case of Thai maths not being a strong point . Everytime I’ve been on a plane into or out of Suvarnabhumi there pretty much full.
And don’t think those increases are going to stop anyone traveling.
Seems you're English is as bad as there maths! 🙄🙄🙄

Too many rich, influential, and dangerous [Thai] people involved in the cannabis trade to ever stop it now.
Going against these people is like signing your own death warrant. The proverbial genie's already out of the bottle. -

sorry, it was a stupid comment.
but these vloggers will do just about anything to get views on their videos, even disrespect and antagonize locals.
that's the point i should have made the first time.
Nothing wrong with your first comment. It was just pedantic dinosaurs here that missed the point. It was in keeping with other posts mocking his [poor] use of the English language.
I expect the majority claiming intellectual superiority by not understanding your post/language or knowing, or at the very least being capable of working out what a "Kick streamer" is, are like as full of **it as he is!

2 hours ago, Marco51 said:Ever heard of statistics? When "ordering" more and more tourists to come and spend forex in the country, give certain nationals 90 days on arrival (some of which should actually follow their big mouth and join the invading forces of their country or others that found a much more convenient way to triad around than at home under constant camera survellance) the chances are that the amount of weird and/or criminally inclined rises to the same proportion. By the way, the call for more quality tourists who stay in 7star places and spend millions and hold a Privileged spender card only means the percentage of high profile gangsters is also rising..................but with those we are all acquainted from the news daily. You cannot have both: tourist $s and Xenophobia, at least not for long, But no worries, the hordes will eventually move on after having ruined the Costa Brava, costa blanca, riviera, adria, santorini, Goa, Bali, Lombok, Cebu, Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, Chiang Mai they'll find a new victim that will believe to be doing everything completely different and muuuuuch better. And looking at who ruled or rules all those places , big policing is always the easy answer. The paradox is the international notion that in this context borders mean anything, the same borders that were somewhere else some years ago (don't exclude yourself, mates, also and especially in Europe) and people that are now foreigners, bad per definitionem, used to be compatriotes and neighbours and who knows in some years to come........they might all be chinese and have a government chip implanted, after all the whole of Eurasia has ALWAYS been chinese for thousands of years including all the oceans and islands and resources and the will of the people has always been overrated. Note for the less humour equipped : this is a satire.
Did you read that yourself before posting, or just type and hit the button? Bloody hell, it was difficult to make any sense of it! I gave up after the first few sentences.
Here's a tip... if you want people to actually read, consider, and respond to your droning monologue, at least take the time to proof read it!

He's probably scared of a lynching if he walks outside, and rightly so! I think the vigilantes will be after him. Safer inside than out.

So you are also racist then? taking pleasure at fully legal Thais encountering dehumanising treatment at the hands of overzealous Korean immigration officers who are racist against Thai citizens.I don't have a racist bone in my body, but that doesn't preclude me from enjoying a bit of karma and laughing at the irony, having been on the recieving end in Thailand, China, Hong-Kong, and India! That's hardly the definition of racism.

Pathetic druggie. When you can't walk 10 metres without bumping into a legit weed shop, yet you choose to take something illegal.
Yeah, I'll say it again, pathetic druggie!- 1

Midnight Mayhem: Tiger on the Prowl Alarms Thailand Locals

They deal with a lot of (often dangerous) snakes, but I doubt a juvenile tiger is generally within their remit. I wonder how you would've handled it?!
