KKr, you coloured my day!

I am afraid of the day I have to admit I am old. I cling to life as a baby to a breast not wanting to let it go even if it had enough.

I am 62 , play squash every week and I do realise the toll on my body is too much, but the day I stop will be very hard to accept. I hope for many more years but I don’t forget to live today.

I for sure did stupid things in my live but I probably would do them again on a second chance. So no regrets and immensely thankful for the opportunity.

The limits are prescribed in law. The UK limits... https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/drug-driving#table-of-drugs-and-limits

UK? I presumed you were Dutch, commenting in a Thai post...

The brain says do this but the body says no. I try to explain this using the Duracell rabbit and the batteries that operate it.  Come 50 y they replace one Duracell battery with a no name one. At 60 they replace the other Duracell battery. At 65 someone steals one no name battery. At 70 you are wondering where to buy batteries from.
 
Take care.

I feel sorry I read this twice!

I think i got a lot more experience with it then you do. I am from the Netherlands did my fair share also recent. No people dont get aggressive from weed unlike from alcohol. If they had to ban something and allow something new.. it would be better then fair trade off health and aggression wise. 
 
Most people drinking really have no clue. 

Experience in what? GMO?
I am also against drink-driving but at least there is a legal limit. As you claim to be the expert, how are they going to measure the limit of cannabis traces in your blood?
Dutch people with or without cannabis, difficult to see the difference..

From my Russian wife:
Invitation letter from business partner, nowadays is e-invitation which is sent straight to the Embassy of Russia; health Certificate is needed in case of one-year visa, for 6 month or less it is not needed; air ticket is not needed- booking/reservation flight is enough; if applying in Thailand, need a copy of e-work permit and a letter from the employer;
Visa service is paid by valid VISA card only, doesn’t matter USD/ThB but calculated equivalent ThB; can apply for express visa service (1-3 days); Can make an appointment on the official website of Russian Embassy

Quite simple people who are high and drive should be punished as hard as people caught driving and drinking. No different actually. 
 
People who use cannabis are far nicer then those on drinking alcohol. Give far less problems.. they might attack a snickers bar or something like that but that is about as bad as it gets. 

You are probably thinking about the cannabis from your hippy days, but nowadays with GMO they are/will be able to increase the potential to extreme high levels. Flower power? Rather “helter skelter”

Good to see that at least some things in Thailand are moving in the right direction. Keep it up!

Are you really convinced stoned people are the right direction for this country? What is wrong with you people? Promoting a drug that makes you stoned gets your support? You really think this is the only thing that can make you feel good?
The government will increase taxes on alcohol-free beer because they are convinced this will push people to drink more alcoholic beverages. For drugs they now use the opposite logic.
I realise this this is going to happen because it is a lost battle not because it is for the good of humanity. Welcome to zombie land!

I don’t want to be overrun by a stoned guy/woman who took me for a cookie monster..

Every problem creates an opportunity, I just filed a patent for eatable cigarette butts :)

As with everything, success is reserved for the very best. Meaning; good management, good food, determined, original etc..looking at the profile of the OP, he has proven in the past he can get things done. The problem is you have to rely heavily on a good cook. Once the restaurant becomes successful, the extra salary or even profit sharing will be a demand. I have seen this before.
The idea of a franchise as CharlieH suggested is a safer bet.
While 20y ago expensive western restaurants were mainly visited by expats, today the majority of the customers are Thai. There is a clear shift so why not consider?
I am afraid though that you might underestimate the workload.
Good luck!

Really? Factory needs export license to sell internally? Must be some new law you just invented to make the post

No but your products need to be registered to sell locally.

I never used to see it going on when I lived in BKK 20+ years ago.
Now it seems they are everywhere, waiting only for some unsuspecting foreigner to drop a cig butt.

Johng was correct, I got fined 2000 ThB right on the corner of Soi4 and that is more than 10y ago, I know since I quit 10y ago.

The reason for the tax is in the beverage category. As long as a alcohol free beer is called a “beer” it can be taxed as beer. Soon many non-alcoholic beers will use “malt” iso beer and problem solved.

Year of birth '69?

Unfortunately not..


Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Where is this beer available anyway? Never seen it been looking for 13 years

Many brands in most supermarkets, you really have to make an effort not to see ..
I prefer the Korean beer and if not available Heineken zero. I stopped drinking alcoholic drinks 6 y ago and this alcohol-free beer is really a welcome variation. Special tax on beer is as stupid as the ban on vaping.

You must have been thinking about someone else at the time. Mia noi?

Still have the license plate, still have the wife :)

So I went shopping on the 4th of the month, the day when supermarkets do not give out any plastic carrier bags. 
However my single banana was in a plastic bag, the avocado was wrapped in plastic cling film and I noticed most fruit and veg was wrapped in plastic, they will never get rid of it, the locals just don’t understand 

Sure, also the carrots I bought were wrapped per 2 in plastic foil. Silly right? I ate one carrot, threw the foil away and put the other in a basket. Next day the carrot was soft and shrivelled. I suppose they are grown on hydroponic systems and contain much more water than the ones from my fathers garden?
Anyway..

I once got 69 and I traded it for a new license plate of my choice but without extra cost. I choose my year of birth followed by my wife’s year of birth. When I proudly showed her the new license plate, she hit me with a ..(I don’t remember as I was unconscious for a while) because I had her year wrong :)

everyone agrees with the concept but it is only workable if a viable alternative is found
 
and plastic bags are only part of the problem

If one-time-use of plastic bags would be banned tomorrow, I would be out of business. Our products are sold to bio-secure companies who would never agree on re-useable packaging.
