A fair comment though. To get an accurate answer you would need to talk to Thais.

I assume you refer to Thaksin's previous pointless, pathetically sad so-called war on drugs, which resulted in hundreds, at least, of innocent people being shot and killed by the police. Are you serious when you suggest it should have continued longer ?

Only for as long as Thaksin is still here. A lot of rumours swirling about, many suggesting Thaksin will soon be on his way back to Dubai. Others suggest that, if he stays, and gets his casinos, support for the re-criminalisation of much of the cannabis business will be dropped.

The appalling way successive British governments have treated those vets who have put their lives at risk to serve their country is a disgrace.

Wtfdytya.

Nigeria indeed. I lived and worked in northern Nigeria from 1965 to 1970. The mass killing of Ibos living in northern towns by Hausas and other northern tribes was a nightmare during that time, leading to the civil war between Federal forces and the breakaway state of Biafra. Further mass killings ensued, sadly.To this day the tensions still exist.

Previous generations have witnessed real mass murder, as did I during the civil war in Nigeria in the late 1960s. Your language is gross, ignorant, and ridiculous.

Welfare is running out of control in the USA, and in many other countries.

I eat both Thai and western food, I have savings, a good pension, and I no longer chase hookers. I have lived permanently with my Thai wife in Thailand since 1993. I have lived and worked in many other countries, including Oz. Thailand is the best by far.

Change to Lazada.

Happy gangsters. If these new regulations are implemented they will be able to resume their underground business.

The RTP are delighted at the prospect of re-criminalisation. They will be able to both hit the shops for tea money, and renew their relationships with the underground dealers.

Strictly speaking, sincere regrets for my serious error.

Disgracefully late but at least the initial cover-up is now being uncovered.

Ever since the fear of climate change began to be forced upon us weather people have started to adopt a dramatic tone when forecasting on TV or radio. All rather pathetic.

83 years old, enlarged prostate but otherwise ok. No health insurance. If and when I become terminally ill I have told my Thai family under no circumstances to seek medical help. Just keep me at home, on painkillers if necessary, until I expire.

Just leave them alone.

Strictly speaking it's an annual extension, not a visa renewal. Personally I prefer to leave 800k baht in an SCB account, untouched for many years, and to front up for an annual extension at CW without any recourse to an agent. Usually takes a couple of hours, wiith no hassle.

The low season so not entirely surprising. However, the Thai govt policy of favouring high numbers of low spending tourists was always going to result in a decline in a profitable nightlife

Red light districts of any major city tend to be rough.

Labour look like a bunch of clueless beginners. Having said that the Tories who preceded them were also useless. Lord help us Brits !

Seriously ?

A case of testicular fortitude.

Good to hear from you and from Bday Prang. We have 6 cats and 5 dogs at our place in Rayong. We have a walled garden but the dogs and the younger cats often take off when the front gates are open. We have never lost one of them in over 10 years. In Bangkok we have a female Tabby, Tiger, who mainly lives outside. Some years ago she lost a rear leg in a roof fan but is still doing well. My advice earlier was really for those who live in busy, built up areas, with traffic, where the dangers to pets are numerous. A TB.

Should she have known that she was about to be hit by a bus speeding on the wrong side of the road ?
