I thought yaba was like 1 or 200 a tab, after the 'crackdown'.   No experience myself, but that's what I've read in news.

20bht is the top price, and it's dropping. Used to be 50bht before COVID.

That's funny, and I think most people addicted to yaba, prefer the addiction level compared to cigarettes.   Number one problem with druggies, they do commit crimes to finance their habit.

 

Do try to live in the real world once in a while 

They only commit the crimes when drugs are expensive. With yaba at 20bht/tab and cannabis at 30bht/GM, nobody needs to commit crimes to purchase them.

Alcohol is far more expensive so why aren't you ranting about the evils of alcohol forcing the poor into committing crimes?

Obviously you have never been to a book shop in Thailand. They lounge around in the isles reading books for free.

Nah, they're just looking at the pictures. Most Thai books are comic books.

Another fake Facebook sponsored ad, please stop posting these adverts unless you have purchased from them and received a legit product.

Lived in London around 60 years and watched it change.  It used to be a very safe city, but it no longer is. I tend to avoid going out at night in London nowadays, nowhere in London is as safe as Bangkok.

Did you forget the Krays.

And before them the Luftwaffe?

Link?

It's a sponsored Facebook ad, so probably a scam.

Your comment is another one of your throw away lines.  It doesn't take into account anything else other than the old, very old saying that "rent is dead money." 

Talking about old people, at some age it's no longer sensible to buy a property.

If you're 70yo the purchase price will be way beyond any rent you would pay.

But a lot of older people get locked into mindsets which give them no options.

No mention of what happens after buying a 25Mbht seaside home, then you accidentally kick a doctor?

Even a drunk driving conviction can get you deported and banned from re-entering.

Just following the instructions of the medics.

Are these the same medics that give antibiotics to cure a cold?

I read a lot, always have done so. I buy second hand books off the internet and have them shipped to Thailand. But I must confess I am the only falang I know who does so!

That's because the rest of us have ereaders and download every book free from Z library.

They did not post it to another address in Thailand. Weed is illegal in the philippines

Irrelevant!

Each country sets its own laws and policies those laws in its own country.

pretty stupid filipinos to use their home mailing address to send drugs haha.. 

But where is the crime?

Cannabis is legal in Thailand, I get it posted to my home address all the time. Post office, Flash, Kerry all handle it.

Overstay is a crime, posting cannabis isn't.

Why do you think you can't use it?  It's just a MasterCard debit card, nothing strange about it (apart from the cartoon characters).  Presumably the Belgian company doesn't accept card payments only bank transfers?  That is more a limitation on their part rather than a problem with your bank.

It's not a normal MasterCard! It's processed by TPN (Thai payment network) and has many problems because of that. All the Bangkok bank debit cards are similar.
