The beginning of the international car and truck theft season begins. 

That’s why I carry a copy of my prescription and letter of permission to grow and possess cannabis in my car, my bike and copies in my phone. 

Never been urine tested in the past 6 years but I don’t anticipate any problems if I did. 

How about a trial program first and fit them in the vehicles of all the police, military and government employees?

The first bit of fake news is that this is a misinformation checker. When it is actually a Big Brother media surveillance system, designed to ensure the proles don't wander off the narrative. 

From what I’ve seen it only flags blatantly false articles, lies, fabrications and fake Photoshop jobs. 

I like having some fact-checking done to let me know idle a story is dubious so I can check it out myself if I care about it. 

I’ve yet to see a false positive and everything flagged as a lie seemed to be a lie. 

You can always cancel your FB account if you don’t like seeing both sides of the story.

Let's not forget this was no natural tragedy. The elephants did not go to the cliffs willingly and were smart enough to never go there on their own. They were deliberately herded by park rangers and forced to this dangerous point where they were scared and died. Why is no one talking about this?

 

Where did you hear that nonsense? It there a Thai version of FOX news? 

I had to hand over the paper with my passport when I flew into HCMC last week. 

I would definitely pay extra for the fast track. I waited at least an hour waiting for the visa and immigration line and about the same length of time when I left.

Well, the TM6 wasn't really an issue at all (albeit the waste of paper) as many countries require you to fill in an arrival card. 
 
The TM30 is the nuisance, and I have absolutely no optimism the Thai immigration department will be able to plan, design, create, trial etc etc etc a working app. 

They don't make the app, their cronies do. All created to benefit certain parties. Why would they scrap something bringing millions annually.

Isn’t it a bit cynical to ascribe profit motives to everything done in Thailand?  Greed and corruption aren’t unique to Thailand either. 

I got a national ID card and paid less than it cost to make it. 

It costs about €3000 to get a drivers license in the Netherlands including the mandatory drivers school training. It the US it’s $50-100+ just for the fee  Here I paid €17. 

So some friend or relative of a politician makes a few grand writing an app, same thing happens in every country I’ve lived.

Not quite. Every day is 2 words not one.

 

Notice how his hands are covering his crotch, probably got a damp patch there, embarrasing when you're wearing jeans.

Another example of being too stubborn to ask an English speaker to proofread some text before they spend ฿100K on a sign. 

 I think it’s because the sign was too small to fit “Jesus may save but Thai  lady small small,  yum yum number one good,  no good no pay money"

According to this, it’s definitely going to hit Bangkok hard

Tinctures are available by prescription at at least one government hospital in Bangkok and at least one private clinic. 

The one I went to was Sawasdee Clinic just south of Don Mueang airport.

You will receive something like what’s pictured in the first attachment, not the second one. 

I’m really looking forward to that...

Defying the laws of thermodynamics is what I look for in all my energy related purchases. 

No, it’s going to catch someone who’s 90% of the way through the intersection that they should have easily been able to get through but couldn’t because some idiot in front of them did something stupid to make them stop, like making a right turn in front of oncoming traffic. 

I had to stay overnight in Bangkok because no flight could get me there in time for my appointment. 

I showed up as having stayed in another province in the Ubon immigration system. 

The woman man said I owed a fine because I was gone for over 24 hours. She walked me over to the sign that says “...over 24 hours”. I explained I was gone 15 hours, she pointed at the sign again. Then said it was my responsibility to prove I wasn’t gone more than 24 hours. 

The law says if you don’t have a Thai license you are required to present an International drivers license( actually a translation of your home license info) and the drivers license from your country or they can give you a ticket. 

I think you only have 90 days after you take up residence here before you have to get a Thai license but that’s rarely enforced. 

If you live here why don’t you just get a Thai drivers license? It is cheap and simple. You just show them a copy of yours take an eye test color test reaction test and pay a small fee

The main cause is that they can't drive safely.

 

PS. Note the lack of mirrors.

 

Edit. And no number plate on the bike.

And neither the headlight or the taillight or brake lights or turn signal indicator lights were working. 

GHB

Less than eight months from the decision to make medical cannabis legal to being able to produce even 5000 bottles of tincture is better than any western country has been able to accomplish. I think the Thai government deserves credit for this. 

They’ve never grown cannabis indoors in a large scale before and had to start over once and then there were problems that limited the yield from the second crop. 

Operation might’ve gone more smoothly if they had invited out side consultants in but they’re concerned that the industry is going to be taken over by foreign interests and want to protect the jobs in the industry for Thai people. 

When they knew they were going to have a shortfall somebody had the strange idea to use confiscated black-market cannabis, which I said here months ago that was not going to be usable because of mold and fungus pesticides herbicides other contamination and adulterants, and that’s exactly what happened. 

I think they’re on track for their production to keep up with demand after their next crops are harvested. 

Raise it. The only difference will be less money collected by the police for speeding tickets.

On a brand new section, absolutely straight section  of highway between Ubon and Yasothon that’s better suited for high speeds than some parts of the German Autobahn, police with radar were raking in over ฿10,000 an hour issuing tickets for people driving 100 in a 90. 

It’s usually newer, big cars, trucks and those <deleted> silver vans that drive fast. The 20+ year old rolling pieces of crap with their original brake shoes usually don’t. As long as they stay in the left lane, not a problem.
