This stuff breaks down sticky  phlegm. All pharmacies stock it.

As title, I need to replace the hinges on the toilet seat before I leave this room. The landlord is a tw@t, so better do it myself. Anyone know where I can buy any in Phuket? (I don't think Lazada would be able to deliver in time.) Cheers for any help guys

Make sure you discharge the old one before you touch it. Can be done with a screw driver (youtube it)

Seeing ppl only being allowed 2x visa exempt by land, even though initial sources stated “as many as you want”, which I was skeptical of anyway

Turpentine does it

I need a new stamp from across a border close to Chiang Mai. (I plan to leave Thailand in 1-2 months.) I am a US citizen with a normal passport.  Is Savannahkhet a good choice? I'd rather not stay overnight.  

Those Bullet 500 look gorgeous, especially the chrome models. I’ve heard stories of engine vibes being an issue though, how is it for you. Shame RE stopped producing them, I have a RE 650 GT and a bullet would be a nice stable mate.

As far as i remember Hawkwinds only chart hit was Silver Machine.

This is true. They have a bit of a niche market. The original version of the track Motörhead, written when Lemmy was their bassist before they kicked him out is worth a listen

Heres one...

 

I would  have liked you to have been deep frozen too.

 and waiting, still as fresh in the flesh for my return to earth.

but your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you...

 

 Lets see, you'd be about sixty now. And long dead by the time that I return to earth...

That’s the Spirit of the Age, off Live ‘79 album ?

None of the various strains of that 20 Baht weed I got struck me as being PGR, as none of the buds looked really compressed and unnaturally formed. In fact, a lot of the buds were very loose, with a fair amount of small sugar leaves, which struck me as being naturally grown, lower quality outdoor weed. Some of it feels a bit too dry though and lacks resin, which I interpret as being a bit of a freshness issue. Also, I interpreted the chemical smell I noticed in all of it as possibly being a form of pesticide or herbicide that was used, but I could be wrong. 

A lot of what my main supplier sells looks like PGR to me, but the buds aren't as compressed as some of the other very round and dense PGR stuff I have seen in the past. They also have quite a bit of stuff that doesn't look like PGR. Although PGR buds look less natural, because of their tightness, all the non-PGR looking stuff I've bought from my supplier seems noticeably weaker on the THC side than the PGR looking stuff. It is supposed to be the other way around, but in my experience it's not. So I normally stick with the PGR looking weed they sell. And usually the non-PGR looking bud they offer is a bit cheaper too. You would expect it to be the opposite, but again it's not. I suspect the non-PGR stuff they sell is a bit cheaper mainly because it seems to have lower THC levels. 

Although PGR bud is also known to have less terpenes, look less frosty, and is known to have lower THC, I find the PGR looking stuff I'm getting doesn't have any of those issues. Terpenes are always very strong, as much as one would expect, and no chemical smell that I can detect. 
 

Some of the strains I get have less stickiness and resin than other strains do, so it depends on the strain. Some of it has a lot of resin too and really sticks to the grinder. So it depends. But none if it ever feels really overly dry. And in terms of color, smell, taste, and THC content, it's all there. Maybe they have found a good balance between using some PGRs, in order to still get the benefits of a higher yielding plant, but without all the downsides.

Here are some known ways of determining PGR weed, although my experience on the PGR looking stuff I get is mainly the physical appearance is a bit different, with the buds being tighter and denser, but many of the other points below don't seem to apply to what I'm getting:

1. **Overly Dense Buds**: PGRs can cause buds to become unnaturally dense and hard. While density is often desired, excessive density can be a sign of PGR use and can lead to issues like poor airflow within the buds, increasing the risk of mold and mildew.

2. **Altered Color**: Buds treated with PGRs may exhibit unnatural colors, often appearing darker or brownish rather than the vibrant green or purple hues typically seen in healthy cannabis.

3. **Reduced Trichome Production**: Trichomes, the resinous glands that contain cannabinoids and terpenes, may be less abundant on PGR-treated buds. This can result in a less frosty appearance and can also impact the potency and aroma of the cannabis.

4. **Misshapen Buds**: The natural structure of the buds can be distorted, leading to a less visually appealing product. Buds may appear more compact and less fluffy compared to naturally grown cannabis.

5. **Lack of Aroma**: PGRs can affect the terpene profile, reducing the natural scent of the cannabis. This results in buds that have a muted or less pronounced aroma compared to non-PGR-treated cannabis.

6. **Reduced Potency**: Buds treated with PGRs often have lower THC levels compared to those grown without these chemicals. This reduction in THC can diminish the psychoactive effects and overall potency of the cannabis.

7. **Altered Cannabinoid Profile**: The presence of PGRs can interfere with the natural production of cannabinoids, potentially altering the overall cannabinoid profile of the plant. This means other important cannabinoids, not just THC, may also be present in lower concentrations.

8. **Impaired Resin Production**: Since PGRs can reduce trichome production, and trichomes are where THC and other cannabinoids are concentrated, the overall resin production is compromised. This directly affects the THC content and the quality of the cannabis.

 

 

Good post, nice one. I didn’t know about Plant Growth Regulators and how they affect the strength of the weed

So, to conclude, Non O (spouse) visa: 400k needs to be in the bank for both 3 month single entry and 1 year multi-entry (do they still issue them at Penang). Any further updates?

I always liked the characters he played in the old British comedy's  and to me he kind of embodies  the values and attitude of a time when things were  a damn site better all round than they are now.   Can you believe many of the films he starred in are nowadays  accompanied or rather preceded by a warning ?

My ex mother in-law used to lock the car doors to try and stop these guys getting in if we ever had an accident. 

Turn it over a few times, take the plugs out. You can smell if there’s fuel getting into the cylinder. With pliers, hold plug to cylinder and turn engine over, spark and plugs ok? Could just be gunk in fuel lines, check air filter too.
