    A bar girl has an earning potential of 20-30K per month, whereas working in a Gym or hotel reception is 10-12k

     

    Incredibly difficult decision to make for a young girl, and to be honest working in a bar looks like fun most days.

    Don't know where old mate got his figures but top shelf are making a stack more than 30k a month. That's peanuts. Heaps of  girls out there making that just in ladies drinks and that's before the barfining an everything else that comes with it. Not to mention the muppets will be back soon all the major sponsors and minor sponsors sending hookers money from foreign lands so they can book a spot on their return. Then you got your 2 week millionaires paying weeelllll over the odds I could go on and on but I think I've made my point.

    Thai PM: If you've never smoked weed before, don't try it now!

    There will definitely be some tidy profit made selling good bud and by-products to discerning tourists, but for the most part, weed will be as cheap as rice in most Thai markets.

     

    Unlike rice, many locals will grow their own because each strain has specific qualities, and even back in the day, there were grower videos in Thai on you tube that were very good advice. So home grower education will explode. The Thai people know a thing or two about getting the best from the land as it is.

    In so many ways, decriminalising weed will be seen as a watershed moment in Thai history.

    I can't think of a single better move to boost tourism, than promoting the stoner culture right now.

    There will be challenges ahead, it's not all wine and roses, but, there's almost no other single thing they could do to recover the tourist economy, than go easy on tourists who come here to enjoy good weed and everything that goes along with it, in peace.

    Doesn't matter how good you are on the land pretty hard to compete with lab grown hydro.

    I think you have confused bragging with taking pride in my achievements.  I do preen my own feathers occasionally.  But that is a skill that I consciously developed and then adopted to counteract the negative impact on my mental health from living with a violent alcoholic father that used to refer to me as a worthless piece of sh*t.  Lots of people grew up poor.  That was just one of issues I had to deal with as a kid.  I have also have an incurable and chronic genetic blood disease.

     

     

    Clearly still not getting it. Anonymous forum mate. Like everyone else. Don't know you, never will, not interested, don't care.

    Legalities opening a Cannabis store

    For the first month ...... then every coffee shop in Thailand will be growing and selling it.

    Not to mention the headstart "some" companies got. Was watching a video the other day from  a company in Bangkok now selling bud they gave a tour of their "factory" which was of course a massive commercial hydro set up .   Now not exactly sure when all was made legal but it's, as you know 8-10 weeks lead time to produce anything of quality yet these  people had buds in volume ready to go on the first day of opening. Curious methinks.

    I am sorry if talking honestly about my life offends you.  The consultancy that I built from scratch completed projects for BHP Billiton, Xstrata, Glencore, Rio and many other multinationals. I received a number of business innovation related awards.  I was also partner in another business that won the national Australian business of the year at the Telstra's awards.

     

    I grew up in a housing commission suburb.  I never completed highschool because my mother died of cancer when I was 15 and just prior to that my father ran off with the wife of the neighbor next door.  Maybe I am not a big deal in your eyes.  But I was a big deal in my minds eye...and that is what matters to me.  

     

    But that was all in a previous life.  Now my Thai friends in the little fishing village I call home refer to me as Farang Chau lay.

     

    Also grew up in housos mate my mum and dad both bailed left me with my grandparents at quite a young age. 4 of us living in a 1 bedroom council flat..also quite successful in my own right also live in Thailand so fxxxn what? We all have our trials and tribulations and successes in life 

     It's not that you were a big deal or not. It's the fact you feel the need to state it. It's low key bragging. Just be happy mate. Your going on about how simple and humble you are then follow it up with the laundry list of how great you are. Anyone who was truly humble would have read my comment and had a giggle as was intended. Like realistically do you not see the irony? Who actually says "yeah well I used to be a big deal" ???????????????????????? does your apartment smell of rich mahogany by any chance?

    You are overestimating how much money you need. As I have already posted I bought the house I am currently in for 270K THB (all up the deal was the vendor paid all transfer costs and taxes).  It is a nice little split level rendered brick place in a lovely flower lined dead end street with no through traffic.  MY neighbors are all edlerly and lovely.  No young twits on noisy motorbikes.  I have to date spent about 50-60K more on renovation and extension but just on materials.  All of the work myself and my GF have done, including hand mixing over 6 cubic meters of concrete.  I am just starting on a new double carport at the front of the property. With the recent price increases in gal steel I am looking at around 20-25K to complete that including concreting and blocking in and rendering the side walls.  My electricity bill is between 500 and 700baht every month.  My water bill is between 60-80 baht each month.  I have a true 6mps unlimited 12 month sim card that cost me 1120 baht.

     

    I have a  FCD account with Krungsri with a sum that more than covers the 800KTHB requirement for my annual NON-o retirement extension.

     

    I am five minutes from a beautiful beach.  I am three minutes from an estuary river where my boats are moored and I drive out the mouth of the river into the sea.  Great fishing here...this season I caught coral trout, grouper, queenfish, barracuda, spanish mackeral, and lots of other premium table fish that I only know the Thai name for like Pla Tamad, Pla Seeum, Pla mare, etc.

     

    My friend here in the village has a shellfish farm.  I buy green lipped mussles of him for 40 baht a kilo.  My GF also has two farms about 5 KM from our house.  I dug a bore on one and we have great water.  We have planted out lots of fruit and vegies there. (Went there today on the way back from the fresh market and some <deleted> had stolen all of my ripe mullberries..)

     

    If you have 100K aud that is more than enough to recreate my lifestyle.  The key however is that I speak fluent Thai.  

     

    I used to be a big deal.  I have three degrees and I am a qualified tradesman as well. I once worked for the then Prime Minister's family and I have completed projects for some of the largest companies in the world.  But that was another life...and one I am grateful to be rid off.

     

    Now I have a new and very little life, but it brings me a great deal of joy.

    All sounded fantastic until you went all...."I used to be a big deal" ???????????????????? jesus wept.

    100+ people treated for symptoms possibly caused by cannabis in food and drink in Khon Kaen

    Perhaps there should be. Like ensuring that if people wish to use this herb for culinary purposes they must be washed several times to ensure that there are no traces of insecticide or other  chemicals  that may pose a danger for human consumption. Now I am not saying this was the issue on this occasion as it could have been a reaction from the herb itself but better to be safe than sorry.

    Well we don't know if either of these things are true and it's most likely neither so let's not put the cart before the horse eh? Never heard or seen reported any mass poisonings due to cannabis in my lifetime.  This...

    "dizziness and nausea after consuming food or drinks thought to contain cannabis."

    Is a pretty baseless statement lacking any real proof. Food or drinks? Thought? 

     Don't believe a word of it.

    Permit needed for selling cannabis in Thailand to minors under 20, breastfeeding women, and pregnant women, Cannabis Public Relations Spokesperson says

    in Thailand News Headlines

    Posted

    You can't do it, you can do it. You can't do it, you can do it with a permit. Why the f would you sell cannabis to minors and I don't know enough about it but potentially women who are breastfeeding? Pregnant is a separate issue as if she is only a few weeks or not showing how would you know.

      I always say it's the hub of flip flops but after so many years the comedic value is starting to wear thin. Now it's just pathetic.

    Dept Issues Serious Warning on Cannabis Use

    As with anything some people will abuse it. Kids will be using it in Thailand. In moderation no biggie  but done regularly really not good at all.

     

    https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/teens.html

     

    I am happy about the de facto legalization. Overall it's very positive news in many ways. Also it's great for Thailand's international branding image.

     

    But still there will be downsides.

    Do you think teens were not using it before it became legal? And do you believe it will increase the chronic use amongst teens now it is legal?

     I think recreational use may increase due to the novelty of legalisation but I doubt it will turn people on to drugs that weren't interested in them in the first place.
