If you commit a crime, and give yourself amnesty for said crime. Are you still a criminal?

But what happens if you consumed that spliff while in the UK, as it stays in your system along time, it is illegal to posses it in the UK, but you can not be charged if you have already taken it, or maybe a passive smoker who had a caution, how would you stand then.

Guilty. It doesn't matter where you smoked it, if you test positive you will have a problem. Same in most Asian countries and even more so in stricter places like UAE and the other Gulf states.

Did you read the article?

In cases where a person tests positive for drug use, but it can be proven that the drug was consumed in a jurisdiction where that consumption is legal, such as Amsterdam, the act is not considered a criminal offence, Mr Winyat said.

It is a private facbook group, you have to be friends with admin to see it.

Rather stupid if you ask me.

I like it, since moving here my work ethic has disappeared, turn up late hungover, leave early. Don't do much in between. My staff love me as I never get on their backs about anything, only have one Thai boss who is never about. Somehow we still make a profit so head office don't bother us. Expat wage so most nights are a blast, probably taking a few years off the end of my life but who cares.

This country rocks!!

exactly what i am talking about...lack of passion....but each to their own

Na, just a realist. I tried to change things but was wasting my time. You can't fix stupid.

Will move on soon and get back to a more motivating job in a more developed country.

But it's bloody fun at the moment!

Been here nearly 5 years, I get taxi to and from work every day. I reckon only 4-5 times I have had to ask them to turn on meter. The only issue I ever have is them driving to fast on tollway's, scares the crap out of me with no seatbelt.

Gee some people whinge, the price and attitude of cabs in my home city Melbourne is a hundred times worse.

Not to worry, now that they will have the 12 core values installed in to their brain they will succeed in being Thai. What else could one want for their children.

This actually does make sense! The leaders in North Korea are just misunderstood, they really just want happiness returned to the people. It's amazing how similar the two countries are. Both leaders keep power at the point of a gun and try to brainwash their citizens.

Thanked the officials for providing conveniences? Did they include whiskey?

Instead of providing food and drink how about enforcing basic road laws?

20 odd dead over six months results in a coup, but 300 odd dead in a week means, I'm disappointed but well done in providing food and drink!

58 dead yesterday, and most people left Bkk before then.

Guess news of the rice scam Yingluck presided over has not reached Isan yet......

Yeah, cause that's the only scam that a politician has ever committed in this country. Not excusing it but people seem to forget the billions that the military have and continue to scam for their own pockets.

The junta should use it as a road safety campaign and buy the safest ones. I know Bkk buses don't cause many fatalities but it would be a good positive message. Busses in Thailand are death traps.

It's my main concern about living in Thailand something that shouldn't be accepted as not our (foreigners) problem.

The biggest killer of young men in Thailand is road accidents not protests or terrorists.

Kill two birds with one stone, fix the corruption in the order process and use it also as a crackdown on busses and all <deleted> road rules.

Thirty people dead a day and it's not even a issue that has been raised.

'Thaksin logo is merely a cartoon that bears no political statement'

Maybe he should be compensated, and should of been given a explanation but the above comment is a bit naive.

This will be another example of what a shambles this self appointed government is becoming.

Desperate much.......
