Point taken, which is one reason why I put the word "addicted" in the same sentence as I put "junkie"! For the most part junkies are addicted to heroin, and other "hard" drugs, but not cannabis. As for the other comments in my post regarding the comments by "AnotherOneHere" I stand by every one of them - injecting cannabis? And inject it in the shop where you bought it? Total nonsense from an uneducated bigot.

Pathetic comment! Just shows how little knowledge some people have of Cannabis!:- 1. According to Google, a definition of "junkie" is " a person who is addicted to narcotics and especially to heroin. One does not get "addicted" to cannabis. 2. You do NOT inject cannabis! You can EAT it, in for instance, a "cookie", but under normal circumstances you would SMOKE it. 3. It is illegal to partake of cannabis in the shop where you bought it - in the same way as it is probably illegal to drink alcohol in Macro or Tesco. "AnotherOneHere"? Sounds about right - Go get some drugs education before you start spouting nonsense!

I concur! More U turns than an RSM on a parade ground! Businessman he may be, but politician he is not, and loses his cool at the drop of a hat.

"Life is short please behave yourselves n be good boys and girls 🤣🤣😂" "And you take care of yourselves out there on the street"

".......Thailand's lax immigration policies" Not if you are a bona fide "good guy" wanting to make an annual extension by means of marriage to a Thai national, when the object seems to be to make things as difficult as possible. But of course, I am not included in TAT's figures, and therefore do not affect their tourist figures statistics.

I pay 1990 baht per year to extend my Visa based on Marriage to a Thai National, and the same price applies to my to neighbour who has an extension based on Retirement. 6770 baht per month totals 81,240 baht per year which I do not find "quite reasonable"!!! But it depends on how much you are prepared to pay to avoid all the hoops that Immigration make you jump through every year I suppose

One of my pet hates - standing in a queue at a Supermarket checkout while a customer waves his phone at some sign and waiting for what seems 5 minutes while the system checks and double checks the transaction. And if it doesn't work - OH deary me, what do we do now? I know, I'll go to the ATM and get some cash! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Did you not notice that TAT are involved in the disputed figures? Of course you did! Whenever TAT are involved with figures - take with a dose of abundant reservation:- "Furthermore, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) officials visited Cha-am Beach, reporting higher activity levels than suggested by viral posts." "Similarly, at Amphawa Floating Market, TAT representatives observed a steady flow of Thai and international visitors enjoying the market's offerings."

TAT are involved with disputing the figures. WHAT A SURPRISE! (NOT!)

Guess that's an intentional typo!

"...............in an effort to boost tourism.................." And there we have it in a nutshell! (P.S. I thought last week they were complaining of too many tourists in Phuket?)

Bad Boys in? Thought the Gov't would have learned from previous experience?

I'm afraid that our past "exchanges of views" has not been pleasant, so this "exchange" is now finished, and you are going on my "Ignore " list - I thought you were on already, to be honest.

The good thing in all of these posts is that they're leaving the Brits alone!

Are you capable of compiling a post containing more than one sentence?

Seems like the Russians are taking the "Bad Boys" mantle from the Brits. Think the Brits have been engrossed in the footie - "It's coming home!" 😂 (If they get beaten by Spain - AN will no doubt have a few headlines about "Brits on the rampage"!

And different types of alcohol can have different effects! I knew a guy who could drink beer all night and be a real "fun" person, but one gin and tonic - wanted to fight EVERYBODY!

(or sushi), or even being bi-polar, can have totally unexpected results if one has never tried it before. I must admit, if I was to eat Sushi i.e. “sour rice” (the rice is traditionally moistened with rice vinegar), there would probably be "unexpected results" - probably in my nether regions!!! However I have never heard of anybody going on a "ramming" spree because of it! (OK, here's one 🙂 )

In a startling incident that shook the quiet streets of Pattaya last night, a Japanese tourist, later identified as Mr. Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, unleashed mayhem following an alleged altercation with his girlfriend. At approximately 9:30 PM, local authorities were alerted to a disturbance involving a vehicle ramming into objects and other cars along Soi Bua Khao, a popular night-time locale. So make your mind up, would you class Soi Bua Khao among the " the quiet streets of Pattaya"?

Yes, just look at all the "quality" Russians in the headlines almost every day for various "quality" performances!

"This has all been caused by K Anutin & his henchmen............" Hear, hear! The man has no business being in politics - his diplomatic skills are zero, and 9 times out of 10 anything he says is questionable at best. Plus, everybody should know by now that the reason he pushed for the legalisation of cannabis was not for the general well being of the country, by increasing tourism, but rather to enhance his own investment in the cannabis production. The man is totally shallow, and can be read like a book!

"He provided public health concerns, such as the alleged potential for a drop in IQ and ongoing public apprehension, as reasons for the quick action." "Alleged"? By who? It is also "alleged" that drinking and driving can cause accidents, but are they proposing to ban alcohol? "Ongoing public apprehension" There was plenty of public apprehension about whether a convicted criminal should have his sentence reduced to 1 year from 8 within weeks of his return to Thailand, but that didn't make any difference to the decision. Another load of bureaucratic b******t!

I wonder if when they arrive in London(for instance) the girls will be telling the guys that they must have lots of money because they can afford to fly there? Or if they will be charged at least twice as much as "Brits" to get into London Zoo?

More toys for the boys - oops, sorry, "important passengers"!
