The government, in the shape of the Ministry of Finance, is a 10% shareholder of Bound and Beyond, the company that owns, operates, and sold the cadmium to the Chinese criminals. https://www.boundandbeyond.co.th/en/investor-relations/shareholder-information/shareholder-structure

Never any sources quoted, so file under usual stupid junk.

The whole article was removed from BP so I guess they've already silenced it. Anutin would have seen to that.

You can go straight on at the end of the one way heading south. But yeah, no police checks means chaos. Same up and down Soi 6 and 7. There are no information boards explaining what the schedule is. All the (reduced) business owners are pixxed off, but no word from City Hall.

Yeah, I often wonder if relocating Cuba in the mid west would be a suitable comparison. Or the rohingya.

This is one of Minister of Interior Anutin's mob. And there's Anutin upbraiding the Swiss guy for bad behaviour. Meanwhile this drunken thug assaults a police officer in the execution of his duty, trying to do what's necessary to prevent road kill. At the very least, resign!

Meanwhile down at Jomtien the one way system is all they've got to show for the mega shambles planned, whatever it is.

60kg? Man, that's extremely trim. Maybe height has something to do with it?

I've read several scientific reports done on the propensity for cannabis plants to store heavy metals. This, according to all the research, is true. Cannabis is what's known as a hyper accumulator, meaning it is highly tolerant of and indeed, highly attracted to, heavy metals in the growing medium it inhabits. So in all the tests, highly elevated levels of eg Cadmium, arsenic, and lead, were found. But I suggest that it is very much dependent on where the plants are grown, and the growing medium. Hydroponics, for instance, surely allow a great degree of control over the growing medium? It also means cannabis plants can be, and are, used to clean soil of all the accumulated crap, fertilisers, pesticides, insecticides etc etc with which mankind douses the soil. But I guess the resultant uptake of potentially harmful metals could prove hazardous to human health. So I guess sourcing the product for human consumption becomes of very much greater importance. Anyway, I'm only posting as I've not seen this topic raised before. I'm not a user, but I follow the politicians idiot pronouncements, so try and educate myself accordingly. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10519194/ https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230903/Marijuana-users-have-elevated-levels-of-cadmium-and-lead-in-their-blood-and-urine.aspx https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/30/health/marijuana-heavy-metals-wellness/index.html#:~:text=Marijuana users also had 22,out to through the kidney.

He meant $ (😉)

Angelina Jolie's taking a break from shooting "First they killed my father" in a luxury resort in Fooket? A book that had me sobbing the whole flight from Heathrow to BKK years back? Christ, they have no shame. From Tomb Raider to the Killing Fields. What a sick joke. Just bug off the lot of you. Not required on journey.

Lock him up!

Try neofenac, made by New Life Pharma Company, which is the NL on the tab. Not the same shape but it's an anti inflammatory, so pain killer. https://www.medicaya.com/product_detail_outofstock/64

So why not fly straight there then? And he was unable to provide the police with any documents (passport, ID)? How'd he get into Vietnam? Or out? Or into Cambodia? Or hire a car in Thailand? All this for 20k? This is just another mumbo jumbo story.

Er, I read it several times, and you could have copied and pasted it. Vietnam doesn't border Thailand. He paid the trafficker where? In Vietnam, or Cambodia? Was he illegally in Cambodia too? Where does it mention that? You've wasted your time.

I think it was supposed to be ironic. It means beautiful "wai". I guess alluding to the guys arms being raised in a sort of wai.

The full story in Pattaya News? Doesn't explain it.

Opposite are 3 places I've frequented. The coffee shop usually has a number of foreigners enjoying a roadside cappuccino. The 2 restaurants are good Thai and Russian food places though I've not tried the Russian food. However this appears to have happened at night, so maybe the places were closed. Thai style attack. 6 onto 1. But the person filming seems unperturbed. Maybe he/she was directing it.

So how did he get from Vietnam to Sa Kaeo? It's not like they're adjacent.

Where does the article mention Issan? I can't find it. Oh, I see, it was in Issan News.

If you really hate it here so much, why in god's name stay? FedEx is an American company who, you say, takes a month to deliver a card. You say you've lived here for 9 years. You don't speak enough Thai to give directions, you seem to know nothing about the environment you live in. You're rude about Thais and all aspects of Thai life. And you're not able to find the answer to your question on Google maps when everybody else can. So who's really to blame for all your problems?

Along with a lot of old faxrts on this forum.

It's like when you do your own accounts, you figure out how much you want to show to adjust your tax bill. Same crap here. Invent some loony spending figures, tourist figures to include migrants workers, day trippers, transit passengers etc etc. And then holler about how tourism is back on track, Pork Pie Party has saved Thailand. Tourism figures are just a nonsense. Anyone can make them up. No evidence. No checks. No audit.

Of devout Moslems looking for a jump I guess?

There's a certain amount of tongue in cheek in there. But you're obviously a literalist. But, just out of curiosity, where do you keep the lube and condom? In the glove compartment?
