  1. Has anyone in our esteemed government done the math on the logistical and financial parts of this future pipe dream? If have not seen any numbers or estimates, but the amount of traffic between the 2 ports will make traffic in Bangkok look like child's play.
  2. "Nopporn explained that he had met the young girl and her friends by chance on the beach. " A 42 year old man meets a 14 year old girl on the beach at 4am! Where are the girls' parents?
  3. One bottle of cough syrup, mixed with kratom tea can give a lot of buzz! Codeine and kratom both work on the opioid receptors.
  4. Wow, this could easily be the most childish comment I've ever read on this forum! Isn't there a minimum age?
  5. Also utter nonsense/drivel. How can you compare Phuket to Benidorm? Infrastructure in Spain vs Thailand.
  6. Any other climate condition? Smog isnt a flijate condition, you know? About 30,000 people die each year because of the burning, many more end up in hospital, but you have never been bothered by it. Are you a chain smoker?
  7. The air was not acceptable last November- January and heavily polluted from Feb till May.
  8. Maybe you should tell us what part of Thailand you are talking about. The different aprts of the country have their own 'smog season'. The south has less smog issues than the rest of the country in general. The north is heavily polluted from end November until May.
  9. I wonder who or what will buy/lease this land. This is a prime lication near to the beach, so big money involved.
  10. Nothing fake about this festival, it's certainly bigger than Songkran here down south. Not eating meat is just one aspect. You should visit Phuket, or Takua Pa this weekend and you wont believevyour eyes. The amount of fireworks is unbelievable.
  11. Same here in Phuket, where the island's infrastructure is worse than 25 years ago.
  12. You can take a whale watching tour from September to December to see the Bryde whales. During this period they will swim up the Gulf and easy to spot. Amazing that you can go on a whale watching fptiur close to Bangkok (Ban Kun Tian). You can/could also spot Irrawady dolphins near Ban Pakong.
  13. Maybe, just maybe too many Thai Leo/Singha drinkers are consuming less beer and more cannabis. The relaxed annabis policies are possibly hurting the big beer families.
  14. The mad scientist has returned. Wasnt he the same genius who suggested that CM zoo should have bush meat on offer? The Kenyan government wasnt very pleased to hear that the donated lions wouod end up between a burger patty.
  15. This is not true. Prices here have already dropped and are a lot cheaper than in the US or Europe. Check Shopee, Lazada or even on Facebook for prices if you dont believe me. 495 baht for 20 grams of dried leaves (powder) is absurd for a locally grown plant. Kratom in its infancy here.? Have you ever driven down south? Hundreds of roadstalls are selling leaves and tea. Powder is just dried leaves (1 night in airconditioned room will do) without the stams and veins, 20 grams of powder is worth not more than 20 baht. Thailand has the Maeng Da strain, which is a lot more potent than the Indonesian strain.
  16. This 'supplement' grows in every garden here in the south, can be bought on every corner, and is also highly addictive. My point is: why pay 25 times the normal price for kratom powder? Whether kratom is of any value to you, is rather subjective 9f course.
  17. Phuket's traffic is hortible these days. It takes me more than 1 hour to drive from town to Thalang. And that is in low season! Phuket needs a proper notth-south road.
  18. Hua Hin is facing severe air pollution problems since Prayuth invested heavily in the sugarcane industry. Avoid Hua Hin from November to March/April as the vested sugar interests are more important than people's health.
  19. That's 20 grams (not 200!) of kratom powder for 495 Baht. 1 kilogram of fresh kratom leaves costs only 130 baht here in the south, and makes a very potent tea. I recently bought 500 grams of Pathum Thani grade kratom powder for 600 baht., which is about 25 times cheaper than the Prikpot product.
  20. Euro also stands at 39 Baht at the moment. A 3% increase in less than a month. I will transfer a batch at 40 and make some extra pocket money.
  21. There are only a couple thousand of them in Lopburi, nothing you couldnt handle. We were in Prachuap yesterday and there were hundreds of them at the temple. People still feed them, so they multiply. Human made problem
