And the concept of a blockchain helps with this project how exactly? I understand the technical pros and cons. I don't see how that would be revelant or a good choice here.

Only in the sense that it would provide verifiable proof of unaltered supply for the public.

If the contract say they guarantee 8% per year then the scheme is that they rent it out for way more than 8% per year but that's what you get. Usually works. I've had agencies offer me 5% up front while they are renting out for 15%.

To add: With current offshore interest rates , if your money is offshore, where you can get a non-risk 4-5% , 8% is a bad deal. What I said above was several years ago when interest rates were 0%.

Probably closed since they issued fake permits.. :)

The prices were way too high in the beginning. I harvested a grow 3 months ago and tried to sell it but the price they offered me was so low that I decided to smoke it myself.

I've noticed that lots of ganja shops either have no customers now or they've closed down already. I suppose all of this is normal considering it's a new thing and it will all level off at some point. 

Yes feels like that. An initial high hah. I don't know that the prices per gram was before when it was illegal but I get a feeling that they started with pricing it at the same level. Now the real price discovery is underway.

Maybe ask someone who runs a bar?

 

Howard at The Green Man is helpful. The guys at The Islander might know.

There are many others.

 

Good luck!

Asked and usually the places have Singha/Chang and those companies lend you a tank. Most others with imported beer do not. But the bars splice the co2 lines together and feed from the borrowed one.

Tanks are easy to buy but everyone sends them to bangkok for refilling which is to much of a cost for me

Where you buy the keg beer?

Various distributors. A few lend you a co2 tank for a week but not all so want my own.

2 years later. Never got notifications for answers so didn't see the replies until I looked now.

Still have not found a tank :D

IDP is always needed but, as people said, it's just a translation + verification of what you are allowed to drive. There's places in Phuket you can get them so you don't need to get it in your home country.

The rules in the past were that you can drive max 60 days on an IDP while on a tourist visa or 90 days on a non-imm. No idea what happens if you leave the country for a while and come back.

Wind energy, sun energy, tidal energy, loads of it but still people want radioactive waste and try to sell it as clean energy.   

None of those are "base loads" so you still need another option. Some options are nuclear, coal, oil, gas, hydro. 

I got a recent email from Finnair stating they will not require a pre-departure PCR-test from me after 1 april.

Update: Qatar airways also lists "Effective April 1, 2022, the pre-departure RT-PCR COVID-19 test will no longer be required for all travellers to Thailand."

Not sure if it's just a way to extend the time of not refunding but they did tell me 45-60 days due to high volume.

Update: I didn't see July 2021. Then nevermind ????

Should have had ColorVU. Few

Many confused reply so I'll clarify. It's a Phuket "inside"-thing about cctv cameras from Hikvision. Been replacing cameras with ones with their ColorVU-technology. Clear color picture in complete darkness and the price is 15% over others. 

No it's not a commercial. Just mindblown ????

If we are lucky they are now in the same country and city as the red bull guy.

Should have had ColorVU. Few

Someone is trying to be funny using a term not used for 50 years.

Probably. Just what a manager at Hilton told me.

The 500 baht was there some years ago , imho , it won't stop people coming . They should however get rid of the COE , since this is way too much paperwork , and it sets people ( including me ) off . In my opinion , the COE is the single thing which does make people not coming Thailand , even if everything is open .

Fully vaxed , travel insurance , i don't think anybody would now travel without it , but ok let's make it mandatory , and PCR test on arrival and you are good to go . Anything more will get more and more people say , naah don't bother ...

I dont get it. The COE was the simplest thing I've ever done when it comes to Thai gov stuff. A website that finally works, looking at you 90d report. Few clicks, got first approval day after, booked hotel, few more clicks, got approval within 1 hour.

What does reopen mean?

 

Hotel booking req will be dropped. Only simple COE required showing you have some insurance + vaccine. Still test before flying and one on arrival. Unclear if also a test after 1w.
