  1. Amazing ignorance. Cannabis is not a stimulantv and has a calming effect. The problem in this case will have been alcohol, and possibly meth/yaba.
  2. Stunningly important news. It will take me a while to recover after this.
  3. Yes, thunk, a play on words used jestingly by Brits.
  4. I would definitely suggest a trial run, an extended holiday, before committing to this. The last thing you want is to bring them here on a permanent basis only to find that they don't like it.
  5. There is no sense in allowing the widespread drinking of alcohol and smoking cigarettes, but not allowing the use of cannabis for recreational purposes.
  6. Reading the article in Al Jazeera it appears Trump obtained the backing of at least 20 of the 40 delegates. He was aiming for 40% support so he apparently did way better than anticipated.
  7. I thought the same. Evidently not...
  8. So much for the well-being/future of wild life, not just in Chonburi but throughout Thailand.
  9. The deal with Thaksin is that the military allowed him to re-enter Thailand so long as he co-operates with them.
  10. The parents should not gave allowed this to happen. RIP little one.
  11. You refer to Buddhism as a religion. It is not. It is one man's philosophy which does not involve worship. The idolatry, and praying for good fortune, practised at temples all over Thailand has nothing to do with Buddhism.
  12. More detail needed.
  13. It is far fetched. For over 60 years I have never heard a comment like that from an IO.
  14. How will widening the roads improve the railway system as stated by the governor ?
  15. Best not to argue with your boss in Thailand.
  16. I used to do this until SCB closed their branch at CW. Now I present a letter from SCB dated the day before I apply for my retirement extension, and have had no problems.
  17. As always in Thailand when dealing with officials speak quietly, respectfully, and slowly. Dress well, and generally behave well. This won't solve every problem, but it will help your case.
  18. This trial is a farce, like most trials in the USA. Sad to see Amreica sinking so low.
  19. This guy is run by the other guy, the one lying 'sick' in hospital. He will stay until he's told to go.
  20. It gets hot in a tent here most of the year round, unless you stay up in the mountains.
