    Some years ago it was reckoned that many of the best IT people come from Russia.

    As an old British friend used to say "In Thailand, everything's bent" (crooked).

    Apparently nowadays some heroin is cut with Fentanyl.

    I thought that China White was heroin? (Or "Golden Brown" as in the song).

    I know of an American guy who lives in Bangkok who admits to "slinging dope" (heroin) when he lived in Philadelpia. I've long suspected that people who get in trouble over illicit drugs in Thailand were involved in them in some way or other where they come from.

    Back during the COVID (vaccine) years I heard some younger people state that they didn't want the vaccine cos they were choosey about what they put into their bodies. But I suspected not so choosey as to not buy (dodgy) drugs from dodgy people in nightclubs or on the street.

    Many years ago it was found that a surprisingly high %'age of £20 notes had a trace of cocaine on them in London.

    I believe that when we die we just go back to how we were before we were born, back to nothing. Also, who would want to spend eternity (>trillions of years) with the human race anyway? Especially with some of the people who claim to be religious.

    About 20 years ago in Bangkok there was a timeshare scam that seemed to have some connection with the Taipan Hotel there.

    On my first visit to Pattaya in '85 it became apparent that the beach and the sidewalk along it was best avoided after dark, if you wanted to avoid unwanted attention. It does look like the lighting has been improved there though since then.

    Something that I noticed when farang friends arrived in BKK after several months in the boonies, Buri Ram or where ever. They couldn't stop talking. I suspected that when they were at home conversation was at a premium.

    For many years most emigres to Israel came from E Europe, Russia especially.
  13. Andrew65
    Yes, but it ain't just folks from those countries, people from the Anglo countries & western Europe too.

    Maybe back then Thailand didn't have the horrendous drugs problem that it does today?

    In years to come, due to 'overtourism', I suspect that Thailand will start to require a visa before travel for many nationalities. It's very easy to run criminal record checks on someone in the UK (DBS). They've long talked about wanting 'quality' high-spending tourists anyway, rather than kee nok farang. Because of it's geographic location there's a risk that Thailand could be overwhelmed by numbers.
