What would be the use of that ....... it doesn't keep. I smoke every night and can barely manage 6oz/year (about 200gm/year).

Not that significant, a one off cost of 8,000bht allows me to grow around 50oz/year indoors. The LED lights (largest expense of 4,500bht) have already lasted 2 years with no signs of failing.

I'm waiting for 100 Blue Dream seeds to arrive, 400bht from facebook.

The 'R9' brick I purchased is also 'full bud', if you care to pick it apart.

I pay a woman 10k/month to pretend to be my wife. Not expensive at all! As for Thai wages, My Thai daughter (23 + degree) gets paid 20k/month plus a free condo in Nakon Sawan. My Thai niece (25 no degree) gets paid 25k/month as a Lotus manager. My other Thai niece (30 no high school) gets paid 10k/month as a Lotus shop assistant.

Get the overnight bus back.

Sounds more like a reincarnation than a n00b.

UK government already has plans to move the state pension to 70 years old (from the current 67). Thailand is just leading the world for a change.

Mine arrived yesterday, works really well. None of the problems you mentioned.

19th hole.............

100bht for an extendable steel baton. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3379463246-s12497131273.html

I believe they only want to 'lure' 2 week tourists. They ain't that keen on foreigners living here.

Saigon is a much better destination for your ME 'o' IMHO. Direct flight and no queues like Savannakhet.

This was the classic 'my girl is different', oh no she wasn't, I'm going home to mom story. I laughed so hard when it happened, all those warning stories he published .......

Cambodia, no hoops at all, $300/year using an agent (55+). Philippines, no hoops at all, $50 every 2 months using an agent (no age restrictions).

Oddly enough when I came here 12 years back I was spending 60k/month (just me). Now I'm spending nearer 40k/month (4 of us). I don't think inflation in Thailand is that significant.

Paperwork for marriage extension is the same now as it was in 2010.

Would point out the current price of brick is 400bht/100gm You've just paid over double the going rate.

I'm not sure there are any 'students' older than age 12 in the world that don't know what sex is. My 10yo son and 13yo daughter seem to know.

You're right! Mine once managed to avoid banging me for nearly a month. I fined her 1 months wages, floods of tears, but she never played that game again.

I alway wondered why the temperature measurements recorded by amateur Victorian scientists are accurate to 0.05 of a degree?

I noticed in the Philippines how polite everyone was.

Here's their best song ..........

Assume the weed shops have information we don't. Just like the growers had information we didn't. They've all been investing a lot of money ..... doesn't seem likely they're all stupid.

One of my Kiwi pals lived in CM on 20kbht a month. He seemed happy enough, cheap room, few beers of an evening, girl from the street now and again, regular girlfriend. He was a welder when he worked in NZ. Most of the world lives a very frugal, cold, hungry and restricted life in their old age. We're the lucky ones!
