With 1 Thai Baht equating to about £0.022

Relevance 🤷🏼‍♂️ ? The article isn't from The Mirror, is it?

They should keep it legal and just have it sold by proper, certified dispensaries and not every somchai along the street, or by bars. Places that sell alcohol should not be allowed to sell weed.

I've been to places where they had no idea what they were selling, zero knowledge.

Maybe I'm missing your point but why would Anutin's removal from the interior ministry keep cannabis legal ? Rather the reverse I would think. It's Anutin's business after all. 

 It's the health minister's department. And since he legalised it when he was in that position it looks like there are some deals done between Bhumjai and the Shins party. Maybe Anutin needs to take care of the medical debacle Thaksin is in, in exchange for keeping cannabis legal as it is.

Vietnam seems to have some good options when it comes to health check ups. Prices are significantly lower than Thailand. It could be worth taking the trip. The package below is 7000 THB and they seem to get good ratings from foreigners.

where did you find that snippet of information? It certainly isn't in the OP

It's in the original article from the Bangkok Post

"If the duration of use exceeds one month, that will not be considered for medical purposes and there will be prosecution"

How can I treat my chronic insomnia for 30 days only?

I feel warm inside, every time I see her picture somewhere...

If she gets done, it will be on Tony too. Let's see who gets the most puppets on their side... forget about the law.

Ao Nang is ruined.

I can't disagree unfortunately. I've experienced the change.

Thailand is loosing it's traditional charm. Attractions are "manufactured". Development means McDonald's, Starbucks, more 7-Elevens. Unlimited visitors to islands and national parks. Lack of planning and the wrong idea about what proper tourists would come for.

One thing I always wondered for example is why beach front roads in Thailand always have to be the busiest and most congested. Traffic free areas at the beach front with quality shops, restaurants etc and walking zones only would be so much more appealing. Lead the main traffic another way.

But we all know that Thailand does things its own way, without much thought for alternatives. Some major improvements could be made quite easily, but unfortunately things move slowly.

New Orleans #1 for food? How so? America has no food culture 😆

I believe that Swensen's is Canadian owned and all but dead except for in Asia, and calling 7-11 american, while it certainly started that way, is a bit of a stretch. It's owned by a Japanese company

7/11 Thailand is in the hands of CP, a Thai family conglomerate, who are the one of the biggest players in food, retail, pharma, telecom and banking.

"Ali-staire"

The title assumes a huge happening. But Phi phi has been open for diving all along. From the list of locations only 2 are at Phi Phi, which has probably around 20 sites total.

On a side note: A park ranger in Krabi was sacked recently after reporting on his social media about anchor dumping on corals by a certain boat. Most likely by complaints from that boat owner. Connections and money still run the show.

I thought it was about a new establishment opening in BKK... Ban the OP for a misleading title!

Green plate taxis ... always in a hurry, running lights and tail gating.
