That is interesting. I need to get out of my cave in the sticks and see what electronic transactions are available here. I opened a another KTB account and keep less than 20k in it for online purchases. BTW - this internet thing is also cool.

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...

Interactive Brokers and it might depend on the amount in your account. They also only allow one free wire a month.

I hope not - now you are scaring me. Off for a run in 40c weather - no fun.

Thanks and I'll try making some soon. The high sounds similar to my decarbed weed and peanut butter but I won't know until I try 🙂

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.

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.

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...

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 🙂

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...

I hear that often but why is it difficult to eat decarbed weed? Maybe I'm just a brute 🙂

And I never suggested eating raw weed. But if I did, it would have mild affects compared to decarbed weed. You ever eat a large dose of raw weed? I haven't but curious...

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.

I don't smoke it as of 3 months ago because my lungs couldn't handle it (vaping didn't help). Switched to potent brickweed and cook it in the oven for 30 minutes. Every night .1 gram with a spoon full of peanut butter. Get too high most nights and need to cut the dose 🙂 My question - does weed quality matter much if you plan on de-carbing it? Also, why do people infuse it in oil or whatever when you can just throw it anything with fat? My fridge is full of items that I can mix it with and in a bind, vegetable oil works. easy to control the dose also.

How does that work? Seen many one to many and never witnessed the many stop to elect the person to fight. In the real world, fights are rarely one to one. We Farangs are the minority here and hence the natural consequence of us fighting many Thais. Same would happen in Mexico, Columbia....

From that same poll from Echelon Insights poll being discussed. At least they have a better sense of humor than 90% of you all. "58% OF LIKELY VOTERS SAY DONALD TRUMP WOULD PERFORM BETTER IN A HOT DOG EATING CONTEST, WHILE 13% SAY THE SAME FOR BIDEN." Their website link ( https://echeloninsights.com/in-the-news/apr2024-verified-voter-omnibus/. It's obvious that those polled think Biden is a terrible President but the alternative is somehow worse.

Agreed! Lots of fools above that have too much time on their hands to hate. Ironic they are calling other posters idiots... IMO, both guys will keep running up the debt at an almost exponential pace and hope that the consequences wont materialize while they're President.

Did you just arrive to Thailand? Nice little story about Thais you created. I wonder what all those sexy women that cater to Farangs are doing with Thai men when they aren't working. Maybe there just friends and they can't wait for the their Farang to satisfy them.
