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.

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?

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.

When they take the keys it is usually just to stop the bike being ridden away until they have issued the ticket or accepted the fine/payment.
They ain't allowed to take the licence anymore!

Just following the instructions of the medics.
Are these the same medics that give antibiotics to cure a cold?

Fallout complete season out today.
200 years after a nuclear war in the 1950s a few people emerge from their underground shelters.
I've watched the first 2 episodes , very entertaining but incredibly violent.

You do understand this is purely an old wives tale?
Alcohol doesn't affect antibiotics in any way, unless you're too drunk to remember to take the pills or throw them up.

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.

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.

To be fair, I agree with you. He was driving in a straight line at a constant speed, nothing he did caused the accident, and no way he could have prevented it.

You've just described the entire male Thai population, they don't need any drug to be this way.

Also gives you the energy to work all day in the fields. Drug of choice for Gogo dancers as it gives them the energy to dance all night and it keeps their weight down.

please tell me how do you pump up the price, it's not like the government can tax it..
also a tablet last I heard was now about 5 baht, or less. I heard low as 3 baht, this is what I heard as I dont buy it so dont really know, but for sure not 30+ baht.
My misses came home last week and complained the price was down to 20bht a tablet.

What can/should be done about the yaba crisis in Thailand?
in General Topics
Posted
20bht is the top price, and it's dropping. Used to be 50bht before COVID.
