Does this mean cannabis is criminalised again in Thailand & that users, sellers, distributors would be imprisoned? What nonsense!
The govt is in chaos. There is a strong possibility that the new regulations will not be implemented.

Illegal businesses ? I don't believe so. Also, drug dealers investing in transport and mules is not what is being discussed here. Perhaps you should read more on this subject.

Vastly over-stated.

'Fortunately my wife was never a bar girl' you say. I have friends who have been happily married to former bar girls for many years. Your comment is deplorable.

The only evidence against her was circumstantial. How on earth a judge and jury came up with a whole life sentence is beyond belief. Also, some serious questions to be answered by senior hospital staff.

At 83 years old, and having lived permanently in Thailand since 1984, apart from a relatively short spell in Taiwan, no health insurance and no problems. Have instructed family to under no circumstances to seek medical treatment as and when I become terminally ill. Just keep me going at home on painkillers until I expire.

I see. Just continue to complain about it.
That makes even less sense, doesn't it?

A rather silly comment. This is a serious issue for Thais who have invested heavily in this business.

Poor lad. What a rotten start to life. Parents entirely to blame. I just hope that the authorities will sincerely help him to gradually adjust to a more normal existence.

Today's UK police get themselves involved in far sillier exercises than this.

I got badly shafted in the 1990s after I went into a partnership with substantial Thai partners to build a hotel and college in Kao Yai. The 97/98 crash occurred, our supporting Thai bank collapsed, and the project died. My Thai partners ran away leaving me with unpaid debts and an unpaid workforce. I am lucky to have been well enough off to survive the huge losses incurred, but I would advise people to be very, very careful before investing even a small amount in Thailand.

Just a quick, serious question, if I may...
If you don't like it, why do you keep reading it?
Please answer this.I don't. I find the style irritating.

Reminds me of 1997/98. The difference now is that Thailand has significant reserves to draw on, or so we are told. Back then Thailand was being urged to devalue the Baht in order to urgently boost exports and curb imports. It failed to do so and the result was the monumental crash which reverberated all over the world.

There is a lot more to be told about this story, starting with how he finished up unconscious in Pattaya having intended to spend the evening 'clubbing' with friends in Bangkok. Just for openers, where were his friends when he apparently disappeared, and who took him to Pattaya ?

The problems for Starmer start with his appearance, and get worse when he speaks.

This is a pox on the nation.
Well said.

These scenes are typical of those that can now be observed in areas of many major cities in America and, increasingly, in western Europe. The so-called war on drugs has been a hugely expensive failure in terms of lives and money. Whether narcotics or opioids, way better to legalise, licence, regulate, control and tax.
