Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
atpeace replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, but you not so much. Chill, the sun will rise tomorrow and for thousands upon thousands of years. If you're truly concerned about global warming, being empathetic is always a soothing route to make a point. Doubt insults will get you anywhere but a confrontation which is what probably floats your boat. Does your body temp increase when you get angry? Might want to do your part and stop heating up. I'm going to go for a run and the temps are under 30 for the first time in months! Life is not all that bad. -
Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand

It rained last night!!!!!!! I'm already over global warming this year. Another year like the last and I might be screaming like Greta and spewing hate wrapped in a thin wrapper of concern. -
American Man Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend With Golf Club
atpeace replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The concerning part about his story is that I was captivated be his downfall. It's odd how sometimes I find these types of things interesting. I was going to try mushrooms this year but after reading his friends opinions of what happened, I think I'll skip that trip. He possibly is stuck in an endless bad trip loop. His new content isn't funny like his old self but some of it is still erratically interesting and he far from stupid. -
Using cash is overly complicated if you have your phone with you. A 100 baht electronic payment is clean and simple. The local vendors seem to like it. In many cases they beg you to to avoid dirty cash and locating change for your bills. Simplicity is king but I get why some enjoy swapping dirty bills. They are comfortable with what they have always done. Bet that British man that slapped the taxi driver over a 100 baht bill and was taken into custody wishes he would have gone the simple electronic route.

Didn't this happen back in England and wasn't that even worse. Some just seem to always mate lousy women. -

I thought the OP was interesting and did some research. He has had a wild ride the last 8 years. Hard for me not to feel bad for him... https://www.sportskeeda.com/health-and-fitness/the-rise-fall-connor-murphy-from-fitness-influencer-clinically-insane -

This dude was making a lot of money pre covid with millions of views on most of his videos. He now has 5% of the views he had and looks like a different person. Watched some of his older videos and he had talent. Maybe it was the vaccine... -
Bangkok Bank Wire from the USA
atpeace replied to atpeace's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Interactive Brokers and it might depend on the amount in your account. They also only allow one free wire a month. -
I agree but this last batch was a rare exception. Maybe it is the pesticides and not the THC 🙂 It is too strong! So many variables when it comes to purchasing weed in Thailand which I rarely do because friends drop off more than I could ever use and honestly throw large quantities in the trash after 6 months. Probably not going to be buying brick weed again but only because I have too much free organic ( claimed) weed laying around.

Bangkok Bank Wire from the USA

Thanks - guess I'll try the direct transfer to Thailand next time and see what happens. Also it will speed up the process. Wired money to NY on the 29th and still not here in Thailand. Thanks for the info. -

I submit dollars. I didn't know there was difference in the exchange rate. I wrongfully thought the telegraphic transfer rate was static. -
Foreigner Assaults Phuket Tuk Tuk Driver Over Fare Disagreement
atpeace replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
What era did Thailand have high end tourists. Living here since 1998 and the quality of tourists has improved substantially IMO. I miss the 90's and even the 2000's but it isn't because of the high class tourists in those decades. Hey, I might be wrong. The color their skin and their home country cultures are much different than the 90's but lower class? I don't think you are racist but... You are an interesting bloke - wicked smart but progressively more pessimistic. I do enjoy your posts though... -
Bangkok Bank Wire from the USA

Cool, missed this post. Just sent yesterday so have to remember to use Swift ( BKKBTHBK) in 6 months and save the $10 NY fee 🙂 Probably be posting this same question in six months 🙂 -
Bangkok Bank Wire from the USA
atpeace replied to atpeace's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yes, I agree but why not avoid the $10 New York branch fee? Aren't the exchange rate the same regardless if you use the New York branch or send directly to Thailand using Swift? -
I have forgiving taste buds that aren't too nuanced. In teaspoon of peanut butter, I can't taste the weed at all and rarely even notice the texture. I have to look into concentrates. As for the buzz I get from edibles, it is much more powerful than smoking and I take a small dose. Below is a more than I usually take and weighs about .1 gram ~25 THC. I could smoke a gram of the same stuff and not be close to as high as eating it. I'm am a newbie of sorts and find this interesting and sorry if I'm boring everyone.

I think you understood me correctly. Issue I have is that Bangkok in Thailand still charges the .25% or 500 baht max transfer fee. $10 NY Branch + 500 baht in Bangkok Bank fee in Thailand. The benefit of the NY branch is to avoid international transfer fees but my bank doesn't charge any fees hence no reason for the extra step of using the NY branch. Confusing 🙂 Blessed that I have the time to worry about a $10 fee I pay twice a year... -
Interesting and I will do some more digging. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Weird, I have been told by many people and web sites that mixing decarbed weed with a fatty food improves the high substantially. If I could just take a pinch and swallow that would simplify the process and I like simplicity. Off to do some research. Cheers

I'm not charged for international wires from my US bank and have been using Bangkok Bank's New York branch for wires the last 15 years. Why not send the money directly to Thailand to avoid the $10 Bangkok Bank's New York branch charges? I think the same "telegraphic transfer buying rate" would be used regardless. Am I missing something?

It do get very high off .1 gram edible(25% THC ). It hits me "MUCH" harder than if I had smoked a gram. Smoking rarely gets me really stoned. I assume many are like me but not sure. My friend ( not a weed user) also had less than .1 gram and he told me he was a mess. As for infused oils speeding up the digestion vs peanut butter (high fat content), I didn't know there was much of difference. Sure you're right but I think most enjoy the process which I get. The simplicity of peanut better and a pinch of weed is my preference.
