The reason is a covid outbreak among consular staff

53, first came at 24. With breaks here and there, it's been 21 years residing in thailand, stretched out over 29 years.

It's a cargo shorts rebellion!

What it comes down to, for me anyway, is that Thailand is not really a nation of laws, but of men, to paraphrase John Adams. We live not under the rule of law, but the rule of lords. Whatever the law may say or not say, what matters most is who is in a position to wield it, and the extra-legal powers they possess. Traffic, murder, real estate, corruption, prostitution -- all areas addressed by law but not really governed by it. Therefore, caution and discretion are the way to go, rather than imagining how to win a contest of argument, interpretation, or evidence.

Wait, are you suggesting that a guy who gets kicked in the head for a living made a poor decision? Scandalous.

Lower your expectations -- it's a survival skill.

I'm no expert, but I'd say there are significant challenges ahead. In addition to a shrinking workforce, Thailand has a huge wealth gap and a notably poor education system. All these flashy new highways are crammed with deliverymen making starvation wages. https://thailand.un.org/en/96303-thailand-economic-focus-demographic-change-thailand-how-planners-can-prepare-future "Thailand’s rapid aging is particularly striking—and worrisome—for its income level. The median age in the population has increased rapidly to about 40. While lower than the current median age in Korea and Singapore, the latter two economies reached a similar median age at much, much higher levels of per capita income. Thailand is running out of workers at a time when the country has not yet acquired the skills, capital, and technology to really increase their productivity."

My reading of the various press releases and statements is that no form of smoking any kind of cannabis product will be legal, regardless of CBD or THC content. In fact, a new regulation is being considered to enable anyone to inform the police if they think they detect cannabis smoke, even on private property. There was a story about this in the news forum a few days ago.

This isn't going to go well at all.

Very little.

It's not a no-mask requirement; it's a no mask-requirement.

Good man, no one's fool.

I don't think the author of this article knows what "matriculate" means.

This is one reason why it was important for Thailand to try to escape the Middle Income Country trap over the last 25 years. https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/can-thailand-escape-middle-income-trap/

No the letter in Thai from the Mahasarakham University Demonstration School, Primary Division, clearly states that the policy applies to children in Anuban 1, Anuban 2, Anuban 3.

Sounds like Wissanu etc al want a bigger piece of the pie.

The Beijing model.

"Two ganja plants and 46.26 grams of imported heads along with other evidence was seized." I hear that the imported heads were in overstay.

Obviously a case of mistaken identity. We should be looking for Ferrari Joe, not Joe Ferrari.
