Are they really sure it's not by 49%

How can they nominate 50% when there is no marker for 100%, you need to know the 100% first.

Thats not whats happening in the USA with weed.
Thailand is in lockstep with the USA on drugs, defense, everything.
Meth is being put into section 2 to allow science to study it.
Are you able to mount a coherent argument based on science and legal precedent, or are you here to push last centuries drug propaganda at us?

Damn there a some dickheads on this site, not saying you are one, it's not allowed, but where does your comment relate to my reply, you have truly gone off the rails,  mate, your well and truly off the bloody planet. I'm afraid I can no longer reply to your tripe, it's just too ridiculous.

Like they do with booze?
Do tell!
The 'fantasy' of how you see a drug decriminalised world never ceases to entertain me.
In what way would it differ from alcohol sales?
You guys just can't 'see' past the old 'brainwash' scenario try as you might!

Sorry mate, I fail to understand what you are getting at, are you smoking something.

Anyway, read this, it's  interesting.

Eventualy, weed will be grown in almost every home plot.
The only industrial application will be hemp and medicinal edibles (thc removed).
Just let the people relaxxx.
The majority will no more abuse dope than they do beer.
And as has been said forever, I'd rather meet a bunch of smiley stoners at a late night venue, than a pack of borderline angry drunks.
God knows this uptight world could use more mellow fellows.

Um, you seem to forget this is also about ya ba, and also "eventually" could be decades away.

While the increase is disturbing, 97 cases out of a population of 70 million is hardly a reason to run up the red flags on tourists coming to a tropical beach, who probably have similar odds of catching something sitting in their damp, cold, rainy homeland.  (It's that "at least 97" that gives me pause)

 

I suspect 100x as many tourists come home with one of the other STD's.  That doesn't seem to slow them down.

True, 97 isn't that many, if the number is true, but you must remember, not everyone seeks treatment, as the symptoms are similar to the flu, or common cold, so the number of people i fe ted is far more than those reported.

And I am no expert - but is that policeman holding a shotgun?

 

Seems an interesting choice of weapon.

He's  not very good with a pistol or rifle.

Wrong, means they can now find "legal" means to sell more.

And some military reform would also be helpful but as we know you cant teach old dogs new tricks.

Actually you can, scum is harder.

I nearly ran a lady over yesterday, so busy with her phone she simply walked across the road without looking, but wait, am on holidays back in Oz, guess it isn't  just Thailand, the younger generation is addicted to their phone.

"while he himself has not spent any money to buy favour from the people." No need to buy anything when you take it by military force.

Mmmmm, seems the same problems they suffer in Thailand.

You all assume "reform" means for the better, it could aloso mean how to be more corrupt and be better at hiding it.

Right so these big guns don't live in the area but turn up surrounded by the military and police, the photo doesn't say it's that safe with the large personal security around them.  Was the area where the photo was taken swept to explosives prior.

It does say bomb disposal personal, AND sniffer dogs, came along, one assume the area was well and truly checked, before these "prominent" people arrived. No brave people here. They CAN NOT guarantee anyone's safety, only fools would believe them.

And we keep hearing that tourist safety is paramount. Though, at the time when needed, no CCTV operational, yet a stack of excuses are available. 

You are, of course, correct, we only "hear" never see anything done, why, because nothing is ever done.

Can some brave reporter ask why no UPS for the network and cameras. Seems also a failure to protect the computers from a virus, how was it introducted. No virus protection. My belief is Surasak Chantasomboon, director of the Technological and Communications Department, is full of excuses and BS. These systems will tell you when there is a loss of video signal, why wasn't  this acted upon?

Hey you melon you were the one who mentioned Australia in the first place, hope you like having your say telling people not to do as you already have and by the way any Internet service is always under construction.

Hey melon head, I mentioned Australia as an example of how cables can be buried. Damn some melon heads are so thick.

I re-post it just for you.

" Do what they do in Australia, put in the underground cable/infrastructure, then move customers onto it, then hey, remove the overhead cables, Thailand, it is not rocket science. Would you like me to help...lol "

Like many superstitions, in all countries, they are based of some long ago reason, so far back many people do not know its origin, and, as Thais do not like to admit they don't know, you will get the "something you should not be concerned about."

It's the wet season, it rains, so how can they say it fell due to "seeding".

we should respect local beliefs even though we may not agree with the concept. remember you are just a visitor.

Although you are correct, in this case, how does someone know what a local  belief is. For all others it's a rock. Before you reply read the story, particularly  the part about the sign.

Lightbulb moment - place a sign near the "monument" in English, Mandarin, and (probably) Swedish...., No climbing the Cock Rock or you will be fined - 5000THB.  

Light bulb a bit dim, there is a sign, it is mentioned, but like so many it was unreadable, in other words not maintained.

Pressurised. Bulldust

Even if the conduit were only buried 300mm below ground level, the required pressure to stop water ingress would be 2.94kPa and that assuming no surface water depth over and above. It would also mean that any access hatch, even a small on measuring say 400mmx400mm would have a 0.47kn total force trying to open it.

Your pressurisation theory would then rely on counduit be sealed after cables were installed which defeats the purpose of undergroud counduits or trunking.

Your theory suggests pressurised air constantly pumped into the system and should any single man hole or access point be opened, the pressurisation would be compromised.

The majority of electrical cables in Aust are overhead and always will be. There are efficiency advantages, capacity advantages and cost advantages that will ensure this remains 

 

Oh dear, I did say the cables are pressurised, and that is a fact, not like your comment. And this is about comms cables. Do us a favour, comment on something you know, I haved worked in the industry for over 40 years, don't  tell me you know more about comms cables than I do, you must be an idiot.

Just like the 69 kph average in a car. Not a chance unless there is a lot of wreckage left behind on the road. Don't the people who give these values have any idea of what it takes to produce a good average?

And if I said 50 or 55 someone else would have corrected me... being pedantic doesn't  make a hero, just picky.
