Never liked LSD. Just too heavy an experience and being locked into it for 8 hours didn't help either.

The new government doesn't look like taking office till mid August, so recreational dope looks safe till at least then if not well beyond.

Someone with a shrill voice.

Main differences - extreme lethargy, loss of appetite, fever, diarrhea - just wanted to be in bed for first 5 days. Mettalic sort of taste in mouth that lasted for about 3 weeks to a month. No cough till day 12 when a nagging dry cough developed. Body felt like when you withdraw from heavy use of prescription pain killers. I had my 3rd booster, 5th vaccine 3 weeks prior to getting covid. Confirmed with RAT test.

My recent experience with covid was harsh and was nothing like a cold.

Be thankful you don't live in Australia where you would pay 180 baht for the test.

Surely these corpses wouldn't have overstayed unnoticed?

Was thinking the same regarding Russians given they are far and away the main tourists coming to Phuket.

Little Russia!

It's absurd. Makes no sense at all. 11 people arrested and yet the headline would have us think over 1000 have been place in immigration detention.

For what it's worth, the covid infection rate rapidly increased in Australia in the last weeks too. Virtually no one wears masks there.

I have a strong immune system and am 69 - never used to get colds or flu. Also know of two people significantly older who suffered only very mild symptoms. The variant you catch should determine the major part of covid's severity.

It's not always mild. I had a really nasty bout of it about 2 months ago, three weeks after my 5th vaccine.

I had a similar experience 6 weeks ago - 12 days I spent indoors, 6 of them feeling very sorry for myself. I am 69, but have had 5 vaccines, the latest booster only 3 weeks before getting covid in Australia. Can't say I 'felt 100%' again for a month or so.

And if you do, how could you forget it and leave it in a restaurant?

Use a vape. It's odourless.

Let's hope the article is correct. I arrive on July 5 and would just hate to spend my 70th birthday in that month dope free.

Would like to get a butane liquid refill for my Dynavap lighter. Just one of those little cans with a thin tube to insert. Still available in Bangkok?

So marijuana stays or goes>? If the latter, when?

I took it frequently when I lived in Bangkok in the first half of the 90's. It was excellent stuff smuggled in from Europe, but there were also high quality locally made capsules. It was a wonderful drug, so much so, I had to leave the country to get away from it. I have never had it since. But I wouldn.t begrudge this guy his 2 pills.

So two ecstasy tablets is worth 10 months (so far) jail where even Thais would be unlikely to suffer under such a harsh penalty?!

Despite all the girly bars and mea noys, the Thais are a rather prudish people.

I can't believe how many straight, goody two shoes types frequent Thailand and Thai visa. What a boring lot so many of you are with your 'I never touch drugs' approach to life. You seriously have no idea how few people die as a result of taking MDMA, and those unlucky enough to do so, must be about one in a million among the users. You've far more chance of dying from some alcohol related incident than from an ecstasy pill. Honestly, if you don't know the facts and only know the hype built up in your own mind, don't bother commenting.

Your chances of dying from one ecstasy tablet are almost non existent.

Herb doesn't make you violent. Paranoid or anxious perhaps if you are inexperienced but you're not going to tear your clothes up and start assaulting old men.
