  1. Before Covid, a friend of mine was caught at a checkpoint with 5 grams of weed in his car! He was taken for 200k THB and jailed for 3 weeks by the police so what punishment can we expect for thieving valuables from a corpse I wonder?
  2. I won’t shop at Lazada for any high ticket items anymore. The last time I was looking for an expensive GPU, 95% of the shops after placing the order, would contact me on the Lazada chat and tell me to go over to LINE app once on line, they would ask for 50% to be sent to their bank account before they will send the goods. This is their way of getting you off Lazada system so that if you send money, Lazada can do nothing to help you. I have informed Lazada of over 100 of these GPU scammers over the years and when I tell you that Lazada would rather I not report them as they would do their best not to close these stores down but prefer to give them warnings. Even with 110% proof of fraud shown in screenshots from inside Lazada chat, Lazada will keep the store open.
  3. Maybe we should look at all the negative and even criminal cases reported in the news / courts that effected recreational alcohol users breaking the law compared to recreational weed use / crimes over the same period since its declassification and let the results talk for themselves then let’s ask the question, why does alcohol always get a free pass same as smoking vs vaping as big pharm treatments vs natural cures, remedies with no side effects? Just asking.
  4. Any time you fine or, and imprison someone for smoking a vape when smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, breathing in smog, trucks chucking out black soot for exhaust and burnings that make the sky full of smoke and ash is no issue then this is only a poor man’s tax! Vaping got me off almost 20 years of smoking cigarettes yet according to the rules, I should be imprisoned and fined up to 500K THB which by thais standards is almost 3 years salary at 15k per month! That’s not only a ridiculous amount to fine but could create a life threatening situation which just penalises the poor plus the night end scale of the fines seems to be geared towards “rich” tourists as we have seen in the past! you can’t have smoke without fire as you can’t smoke without there being vapes so best stop with the government overreach unless they go after any and all smoking or. One at all but yo go it for the sake of the cigarettes cartels, that just shows who the government takes direction from as it dies not seem to be the people anymore ! The fact the government stopped lunch time alcohol sales to every one in the country just because they needed a way to control their own government workers from returning to work drunk is an embarrassment in itself. I’ve lost count how many government employees smoking vapes caught in camera yet nothing is done but the police are more than happy to extort thousands of THB against holidaying tourist that might not know better!
  5. Yes I read the original post and he does not mention not being able to use Skype but you expect me to sift through 3 pages hoping I’ll trip over some EXTRA info. Why not update the first post why he cannot use Skype If you can download Skype onto your phone or PC, then you can 100% make 0800 calls to the UK for free and without needing any bought credit. You can give all and any excuses however you will be wrong. I’ve been using Skype for free calls to the UK for about 20 years so you will not tell me what I cannot do. I was on the Skype free call for 2 hours last week. I guess I’m a lucky one? If the OP does not even want to try the that’s their choice however the rest of will use this free service because it works!!
  6. Just download Skype which is free plus you can dial 0800 numbers for free You can also download the app Mytello for really cheap international calls which instead of Ais 18 THB per minute,I pay 2 Thb
  7. I have used the online system for my last five 90 day reports. I have to say it’s the best thing since sliced bread! So far, I’ve had my confirmation within 48 hours of submitting them. My last report was submitted 3 days later than the required date. Amazingly I received my confirmation within 30 minutes after I submitted it. I made a link to the login page, added it to my browser bookmark bar and edited the name as the date for my next 90 days. This way, I have a constant reminder to complete my next one. It’s great not having to go to immigration at least for reporting when I can do it from anywhere 👍🏾
  8. So we have a bunch of politicians whom don’t smoke, that will order smokers how they must use cannabis within their rules of the law, for a God given plant that has never killed anybody, impossible to overdose, makes you happy horny and hungry and has more uses than verses tobacco, cigarettes and alcohol which are known killers, destroys families, friends and lives of others yet are allowed to be sold to the masses as long as there is a visible warning on the product, cannot be sold to minor and big daddy politician can forbid you buying on Buddha and voting days. Seems like they have all the rules / laws necessary already in place. The only missing link is how to suck money out of the consumer for a plant you can grow for free!
  9. They are practicing now for that very event. You will own nothing. Anything man made is man breakable. When will we learn?
  10. According to a recent report, 10 million locals now use cannabis However before it was legal there were probably like 999,9901 locals smoking weed. The way you are talking you make it sound like it’s new in Thailand but it’s not. Finally Thailand stopped with “the weed made me cut off my dick” or “Weed made me kill my (fill in family members name here)”. Considering no one person ever died from weed overdose ever, I think Thailand should concentrate on drugs that do the most danger like cigarettes, alcohol etc but they won’t as like everywhere in the world, we have corporate greed and we all pay (taxes) to play. How does a government tell you what you can’t in your body but then give you untested injections containing stuff you really shouldn’t put in your body than more people died from than taking weed?
  11. They overkilled the article using ChatGPT to rewrite it in the style of Jordan Peterson
