The locksmiths at malls can usually copy them. I got some made as the condo office had a maximum amount they give per tenant and I needed more. I had no luck with the Lazada device. The locksmith said the card was a special one (more difficult to copy) and it cost 300 baht even there.

Assault on Lithuanian female Tourist at Erawan National Park
SS1 replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
Good advertisement for the TAT. So now they don't only rape your wallet with the farang rip of fees, but they'll also rape you. Hope she is OK. -
The main problem is if the insurance company doesn't clearly define the hazardous activities that are not covered and use vague wording in their policy. This essentially gives them the power to reject much any claim if they deem your sports activity / transport hazardous. With Luma Health I use for global IDP insurance, they actually gave a very clear definition including a list of the sports and circumstances that are not covered.

Which bikes and riders irritate you?
SS1 replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
I have the opposite experience in Bangkok and think motorbike taxis are the absolute worst of the worst. They ride however they want like they own their intersections and cut through red lights from every possible angle. The delivery riders are bad too, but at least they usually stop and apologize if I'm blaring my twin PIAA horns while about to hit them. -
There are hundreds of second hand part sellers in Bangkok alone specializing in BMW parts. I recommend searching for a FB group " *your car model* Thailand" and posting there. I personally bought a whole M sport steering wheel from Chiang Khong Bagna (the junk yard). Example of such shop here: https://www.facebook.com/San6161

I believe that statement is incorrect. There is nothing illegal about using AirBnB as a platform itself. It's just illegal for individual room owners to rent for less than 30 days at a time without a hotel license. An actual hotel using AirBnB to rent rooms would be legal, as well as private condo owners renting for more than 30 days at a time.

South African woman gets life sentence reduced in Thailand
SS1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And who's life was she exactly going to ruin? Those of some beach partygoers who now have to stick to Sangsom and Coke instead? From earlier articles it was stated that the drug was MDMA (ecstasy). This is a relatively harmless party drug which if used correctly, results in a very good time for the user for a few hours with minimal side effects. If you ever meet a person high on MDMA, they might do dangerous things like want to hug you and tell you they love you. It's not like she was dealing meth or heroin... In some developed countries they have started using MDMA to treat PTSD patients with great success. -
Tourism ministry to propose zoning for night spots to operate up to 4am
SS1 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Even 2am is too late to make noise. Most people go to bed before midnight. The focus should be on banning noise from residential areas and completely free the opening hours like in many countries. If people want to party until 9am in a soundproof underground nightclub, who does it actually bother? -
I bought a CRF some time ago that had a lost license plate. The seller had misplaced it and could never find it. I have no intention to transfer the bike to my name, as it's a 100% offroad setup that wouldn't pass any inspections. Now has come time to sell it, and would be useful to have the license plate for potential buyers (future tax renewals/inspections in mind). Is it possible for me to go to DLT and order a new plate considering I have the greenbook, as well as all the transfer documents ready with proof of purchase, despite it not being in my name? Do I need to do a police report on the lost plate before I can request a new one?

My gf just landed a job in Bangkok and helping her find a cheap apartment for her. She is in a hurry and found a nice place, but they're charging 8 baht per unit of electricity and 18 baht per unit of water. I recall this is illegal since 2018: So what's the deal with this nowadays - is this law basically just ignored by most apartment buildings and there is nothing you can do about it?

What is ridiculous it's 1 liter of "alcoholic beverage" and not alcohol. Cannot legally bring a 6-pack of beer to my condo security guy.

I will give it another try. Just had some indica and sativa (dominant) delivered; Strawberry Cheesecake and Blue Dream. Both of them had effects described like those I used to like, on leafly.com.

I share similar experiences, but I think it's not to do with the weed itself but rather your age and life situation. Where I lived as a kid, high potency dutch weed was available everywhere. It was just as you described, happy and cheerful. But these days it just gives me paranoia and negative feelings. I think it's to do with the fact that when you're young, you have nothing to worry about. When you're older, you may be dealing with stressfull situations that weed only make worse.

Cheaper to send your pet in a private VIP van, what a ripoff. Plus BS too, it's called "Nok air" but they don't allow pet birds.

Could someone tell me what the actual law is on “cannabis”
SS1 replied to Nickelbeer's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
It's quite confusing indeed. There is also a physical shop in a mall in Bangkok called "Cannabis shop" that sells high-potency THC oil. I went there years ago and there was supposed to be a doctor who can give a certificate, but the doctor was never there and they still sold it without issues. To my understanding, edibles containing cannabis are now legal but smoking is (and will remain) prohibited. My recommendation would be to obtain a doctor's certificate from a clinic, so you've got something to show if caught with cannabis products or testing positive in a random drug test. -
Full Moon Party now "the symbol" of Thailand's Full Blown Reopening!
SS1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So many old farts whining.. remember back in the day when you were still young? Let the kids have fun. It's great to see some things going back to normal. If you don't like full moon parties then don't participate, very easy. If you're still afraid of Covid, keep wearing that N95 mask and keep yourself isolated, but let the rest of us get back to our normal lives. ps. doubt I'll be joining either, starting to be a bit too old for that ???? -
On the 10th you get a free som tum. I got (very) sick for 3 days from the first vaccine, and 2 days from the second. Caught Covid a couple of months after the second shot and was sick for 11 days, which was tolerable. No more vaccines for me.
