This heat wave is costing me a lot of money...

 

My usual electric bill in the condo cost around 1500, 1600 baht a month....Last months bill was

a whopping 3200 baht......This is my highest electric bill EVER in Thailand

 

I tried to not use the air so much but I was sweating like a pig in the condo with the aircon off...

 

3200 baht for one month of electricity is crazy......I would rather spend that money on more important things like drinking in bars....

 

They really should give farangs FREE electricity because we are not use to this heat like the Thais are.....

 

Has anyone else seen a big increase in their electric bill?

 

 

 

 You could go drinking in bars....that have aircon !!!

Throw the book at this drug dealer. A years in The Monkey House will teach him a lesson. He and his ilk are not wanted here.

A year !?!?!?,.... Under the Narcotics Code, individuals who produce, import, export, distribute, or possess Category 1 narcotics without permission face a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of 1,500,000 baht. 

Similarly, those involved with Category 2 narcotics without permission may be imprisoned for one to fifteen years and fined between 100,000 to 1,500,000 baht.

I knew this guy was bent ever since the Koh Tao farce.  Prior to that, I'd had a lot of respect for him.  

I don't think he was involved in the Koh Tao Case !

Looks like nothing has changed since I left a couple of years ago.  

During holidays in Thailand I would pull over, rent a hotel and wait it out , if I happened to be traveling during one.

Exactly the same as we did,....wait it out in a roadside hotel or resort !!!

So obviously your 'Best Efforts' are not good enough. Get the Cops to actually do their job of Patrolling the roads, and stop bad driving, checkpoints don't work and never have, and never will, but you repeat the same "Efforts" every year and Fail.  

Checkpoints Do work !!! they remove some drunk people from the roads for a while !!!

Well this admiral went to work for the Carlyle Group which is heavily invested in the American military industrial complex. NATO expansion is a long running scam. Each new NATO country must conform to NATO standards for all their mutations.  Corrupt politicians who receive campaign contributions from munitions manufacturers pay them back by creating these new customers.  

Some members of the Carlyle Group are ex presidents, ex prime ministers, like George W. Bush and Family, Thaksin Shinawatra, Tony Blair,....

No! Just NO! This should not be granted permission. Lest Thailand been seen accused of aiding and abetting Myanmar in against it's citizens. If these military officers (and family) crossed illegally into Thailand, they should either be arrested and detained on suspicion of war crimes, or simply forced back across the border into their own country (in the same way as ordinary Myanmar civilians are normally repatriated).

 

Hm,...The high so, will always help each-other, no matter what Nationality, instead of there own (low class) people

I choose to live in Thailand knowing well (been living here off and on for 50 years, pollution in the burning season has been around all of those 50 but spreads just about every growing season as farmers need more money to eat rice or whatever.  Big business when they went to ethanol and needed corn for the mixture in fuels, sugar cane burning is getting bigger as they can get more money and the health issues - we were told on this forum in the news media that the pm wouldn't call CM an emergency site (so that they could get additional funds to fight the fires and pollution) because it might scare tourists away.  

Hm,...The prospect of getting Cancer is scaring the tourists away !??!?,..well,...who would have thought ??

Who knows if anything is real these days. Certainly you can never trust any photo now. And today I was sent this AI-generated video of Trump. 

That is so funny, You made my day !!!

The voice is perfect but the images show the doctoring specially on the lips,....

Undoubtedly AI is going to be very dangerous for democracy in the coming months !!! 

Thank you for posting

He may be telling the French what the French want to hear. The French (a timorous lot with no balls nowadays alas) are "worried" about cannabis liberalisation in Germany too. The difference is, the German premier is not going to promise re-criminalisation on a French channel just so that the French give him kudos.

 

What we need is more major countries pulling the plug on prohibition so that prohibition countries feel increasingly isolated.

As of today I heard on the radio, it's legal in Germany ! and I hope it's not a April joke !?

I see recreational drugs, tobacco, now cannabis, as having young Thai men, some that are still kids, as main users.

They start early morning to come get their bottle of cannabis, hemp products, cigarette in the mouth, as these immature men need something like that to make them feel part of a crowds, and feel like men. And a lot of money is spent on these products. Just one seller close by here, bought a new Honda car, and a new motorbike as well.

 

Men that are already immature, not wanting to take responsibility for their actions, even responsibility for children that they father along.

Now the number of cannabis shops are on a course to surpass the number of 7-11 shops.

 

I do not see anything good coming out of that in Thailand.

 

Perhaps the government had good intentions at the onset of the liberalization of cannabis, and what they see makes them question their first decision...

Hm,...Not the same government.
