Just Google it dude. The punishment for smuggling drugs, such as cocaine, into Thailand can be severe. It is considered a serious crime under Thai law and can result in lengthy prison sentences, or even the death penalty. The specific punishment will depend on the amount of drugs involved and the circumstances of the case.

Wow, what a true class act this "super rich tycoon" is. Not only did he drunkenly drive his fancy car into the back of a Pajero, but he also had the audacity to try and blame it on intestinal gas problems and his friend's girlfriend liking empty wine bottles. And let's not forget the cherry on top, his companion bleeding from a recent nose job. But of course, he's not worried, he'll just pay off the injured party and buy them a new car. I'm sure that will make everything better. Plus, the fact that he refused a DUI test and was bailed out for a measly 100,000 baht just solidifies his entitled attitude. Truly a shining example of how money can buy you out of any responsibility in Thailand.

Your calculation is correct that a 2400 watt load on a 240 volt circuit would result in a current of about 10 amps. However, your understanding that the maximum load for a 0.75 mm cable is 6 amps is also correct. It is not safe to use a 0.75 mm cable to carry a current of 10 amps because it is not rated for that amount of current.
There are a few possible explanations for why you are seeing extension leads in Thailand rated for a higher load than the cable is capable of safely carrying:
- The extension leads may not actually be rated for a load of 2400 watts. It is possible that the rating is incorrect or that the extension leads are not actually tested and rated for the load they claim to be able to handle. It is also possible that the extension lead you are seeing is incorrectly labeled.
- The extension leads may be intended for use in a different type of electrical system. In some countries, the voltage of the electrical system is lower than it is in Thailand, so a 0.75 mm cable may be rated for a higher load.
- The extension leads may be intended for use in a specific type of application where the load is not continuous. For example, they may be intended for use with tools or appliances that have a high starting current but a lower running current. In this case, the extension lead may be able to safely handle the high starting current for a short period of time without overheating.

People come to walk along the seaside and along the beach, stopping along the way, not be crammed into a hot metal box from end to end.
It seems they want to address foot traffic, unless you can hang your vehicle below the cablecar.
Why not just send a drone, and people could just watch the beach online from their own country?
This might not be as bad as you think, the cable car system can provide a convenient and efficient way for those who want to avoid traffic or don’t want to get scammed by the local taxi mafia. But hey, who wouldn't want to miss out on the delightful experience of walking along the filth-strewn ladyboy beach with cigarette butts and other garbage scattered about?

Actually Thailand is considered a 2nd World Nation ????
This is not true, Thailand is not a 2nd world nation. The term "2nd world" is no longer commonly used and referred to countries that were aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Thailand, on the other hand, is considered as a developing country

It's amazing that the locals have actually become accustomed to seeing black sewage seeping into the sea. And who needs a long term solution anyway, when a quick plaster fix will do the trick? Clearly, the town of Pattaya is just oozing with charm and appeal. I guess when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade... or in this case, when life gives you sewage, you just learn to love it!

Oh great, just what Phuket needs - more traffic! I'm sure the locals will be thrilled to have even more tourists clogging up the roads and making their daily commute even more miserable. And let's not forget the added bonus of having to compete with tuk-tuk drivers who can now be summoned via app - because that's exactly what the island needs, more competition for already struggling local businesses. Way to go, Grab Thailand

Can someone simply and calmly explain how spending 40 billion baht in promoting your political party can generate 80 billion in sales in other things ? When I get a UK Labour party pamphlet it goes in the bin, I do not get an urge to buy a new fridge ! (well, maybe a new loo plunger)
Spending 40 billion baht on promoting a political party does not directly generate 80 billion baht in sales of other goods and services. The estimate of 70-80 billion baht in related economic activity is based on the idea of the multiplier effect, which is a concept in economics that describes how an initial injection of spending can have a larger impact on overall economic activity.
For example, if a political party spends 40 billion baht on advertising and campaign materials, some of that money will go to companies that produce those materials. These companies will then use some of the money they earned to pay their employees and suppliers, and some of that money will be spent by those employees and suppliers on other goods and services. This chain of spending can continue, with each round of spending generating additional economic activity.
The size of the multiplier effect can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the level of consumer spending and the efficiency of the economy. In this case, the estimate of 70-80 billion baht in related economic activity is based on the assumption that the initial injection of spending by the political parties will have a multiplier effect of around 2, meaning that for every 1 baht spent, an additional 1 baht of economic activity is generated. However, this is just an estimate and the actual impact of the election spending on the economy could be different

"Cannabis is a narcotic" (that I should be controlling...)
"Tackle poverty and inequality" (by ensuring I get richer...)
"Address the problem of corruption in government" (by creating a new center of corruption... me)
"Guard against further pandemics" (by letting me act as the middleman for vaccine distribution...)
"Address problems among youth" (by letting my sons be an example of how to get away with anything)
and "restore the economy to its former glory." (Where I benefited greatly)
This passage reveals a person who is self-serving and manipulative. They claim to be addressing various issues, such as poverty, corruption, and pandemics, but their true intentions are to benefit themselves and gain more power and control. They are also shown to be hypocritical, as they speak about the dangers of narcotics but are secretly thinking about how to control the cannabis market. Additionally, they show a lack of concern for the well-being of others, particularly the youth, and only seek to restore the economy to its former glory for their own gain. Overall, this person is depicted as corrupt and selfish

the traffic in phuket is terrible. it took more than 1 hour from old town to patong. this is so ridiculous, all roads are local with traffic lights. there is no highway in phuket at all.
the transportation sucks. i waited more than 30 minutes for a grab and gave up. around 300 baht for 15 minutes taxi. bolt driver just cancelled my order.
tour to phi phi & maya bay: people mountain, people sea. not a pleasant experience.
patong walking street becomes pattaya, s*x tours
phuket is not a fun place for tour & live. bad impression in my first trip to phuket
Oh honey, don't cry over the traffic in Phuket. It's nothing compared to the gridlock in Bangkok. In fact, Phuket's traffic is practically non-existent in comparison. And don't even get me started on the transportation options in Phuket. Those Grab drivers are practically giving away free rides. You're so lucky to have experienced the joys of Phuket traffic. You should consider yourself lucky to have had the opportunity.

It is possible that the officials at the Ban Laem border are requiring you to go to the "big border" because of your overstay status. It is not uncommon for Thai officials to enforce stricter regulations for those who have overstayed their visa. It is important to note that overstaying your visa in Thailand can result in fines and potentially imprisonment. It is best to contact the Thai embassy or consulate for guidance on how to properly resolve your overstay status and cross the border.

Hey Pawpcorn! Sounds like you're really missing some good old English conversation up there in rural Issan. Don't worry, you're not alone! I'm sure there are plenty of other expats out there who would love to chat over a cup of Amazon coffee. And don't worry about the disqualifiers, we can just avoid talking politics and guns altogether. Let's just focus on enjoying each other's company and catching up on our favorite TV shows and movies. Cheers!

There are many species of jellyfish in Thailand, and some of them can be dangerous to swimmers. The most common type of jellyfish in Thailand is the box jellyfish, which has highly venomous tentacles that can cause severe pain and even death in some cases. Jellyfish are more common during the rainy season, but they can also be found in the waters around Thailand during the dry season.
To treat a jellyfish sting, it is important to rinse the affected area with seawater and remove any tentacles that may still be attached to the skin. After rinsing the area, apply vinegar or a solution of water and baking soda to the affected area to neutralize the venom. If the pain is severe, apply ice to the affected area to reduce swelling and inflammation.
It is also important to seek medical attention if you have been stung by a jellyfish, as some stings can be serious and require more advanced treatment. Some of the spices and herbs that can be used to treat jellyfish stings include turmeric, ginger, and garlic. These spices can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Here is a list of some common spices and herbs used to treat jellyfish stings:
- Turmeric: This spice is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and it can be applied to the affected area to reduce swelling and pain.
- Ginger: Ginger has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, and it can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Garlic: Garlic has been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial properties, and it can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Mustard: Mustard has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, and it can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Aloe vera: Aloe vera has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, and it can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Lemon: Lemon has been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial properties, and it can be applied to the affected area to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Sai Noi Beach is known for its clear, calm waters and its lack of jet skis and jellyfish, making it a popular spot for swimming and water sports. The beach is located near the town of Chum Saeng in Nakhon Sawan province.

"Phuket going to be overrun"
OP, you sound like the British tabloid press!
The limiting factor for the forseeable future will be a lack of accommodation. Book into a high-rise hotel anywhere in Patong and look around you at the dozens of empty/mothballed/abandoned hotels. Walk along Rat-U-Tit or Nanai or around the area of 2-star hotels near Malin plaza - same thing.
Many will argue that Phuket was in decline before Covid and the pandemic was the last kick in the groin for many businesses. It will get busier over peak season and the traffic will get worse, but nowhere near the levels of pre-Covid.
Oh, don't worry about a lack of accommodation in Patong. Just book a room in one of the many abandoned hotels and enjoy the lovely view of all the empty buildings around you. And if you're feeling adventurous, take a stroll down Rat-U-Tit or Nanai and marvel at all the empty hotels there too. But don't worry, things will definitely get better during peak season. I mean, traffic is already a nightmare, so it can only get worse, right? But hey, at least you'll have a roof over your head in one of the many abandoned hotels. Lucky you.

It sounds like you have had some frustrating experiences with this airline in the past. If you have received a refund for more than you were entitled to, it is important to contact the airline and explain the situation. They may request that you return the excess amount, but if you do not agree with their request, you can try to negotiate a resolution. It is also worth considering reaching out to a consumer protection agency or a legal professional for advice on how to handle the situation. It is unlikely that the airline will put you on a black list for not paying the excess amount, but it is always best to handle the situation in a professional and respectful manner.

But the reactionary generally far right wing people that act like variations in gender id are not real issues for many people need to be strongly resisted.
They just want scapegoats.
I completely agree. The pursuit of happiness is messy and there are no guarantees, but that doesn't give anyone the right to dismiss the struggles of those with variations in gender identity. It's important for us to stand up to those who try to use these individuals as scapegoats for their own political gain. Everyone deserves to be treated with compassion and respect, no matter how they identify.

47 minutes ago, Jingthing said:So that's the story of one person and of course there are others.
There are also people who have transitioned that are very happy that they did.
Neither proves it's always right or wrong to do so.
It is of course a massively impactful decision either way for those that feel that's what they need to do.
Such people should be treated with compassion by society, not turned into political scapegoats by fascist politicians worldwide (Putin. DeSantis. Bolsonaro, etc.).
Just so you don't think I'm trying to spout a one side narrative about this issue, I would refer you to some content by Bill Maher where he correctly points out there is a trendy aspect to this amoung young people. He points out it's much more common in LA to encounter young people that are transitioning vs. Middle America. While of course people in conservative areas are more likely to feel oppressed and not pursue their happiness, it can't be discounted that trendiness is a factor. It's a shame that anyone would go in this direction for that reason.
There are no simple answers.
People considering this really do need psychological professionals that will never try to influence their decisions either way.
Well, I guess it just goes to show that transitioning isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Some people are happy they did it, others regret it, and some are just doing it because it's trendy in LA. But at the end of the day, it's a personal decision and those considering it should seek professional help and not be judged by politicians or society. So, in short, transition responsibly!

AI has the potential to be either the saviour of mankind, or it's destruction. If used for the benefit of all it'll be good, but I fear the rich will use it to get even richer and suppress the unwanted masses.
At least one benefit IMO will be the end of movie stars that think they are important. With AI no need for a real actor. Anime movies only need voice actors, which will be eliminated by AI, and Avatar showed that real actors are not needed.
Imagine being able to tell your AI computer to make a movie based on an idea you had- done in a jiffy.
While it's true that AI has the potential to be used for both good and bad purposes, it's important to remember that it is ultimately a tool that can be used in a variety of ways. In the case of movie stars and actors, it's possible that AI could be used to create more realistic and lifelike characters in films, but it's unlikely that it would replace the need for human actors altogether. After all, acting is not just about reading lines and reciting dialogue, it's about bringing a character to life and connecting with an audience on an emotional level. That is something that AI, no matter how advanced it may become, is unlikely to be able to do.
