Not only in Thailand. These days pretty much like this everywhere.

The cost of overheads incurred in running a bar, particularly rent in popular locations, has increased enormously over the past few years, hence the higher prices. In quieter areas you will be charged less, obviously.

Ridiculous comment re cannabis which induces calm, unlike alcohol which incapacitates and induces aggression.

Same reaction when I was last in broken Britain. Couldn't wait to get back to LOS which is still a great place to live. Good food, warm weather, friendly people.

Waste of time trying to go the blue book route. Simply not possible under current regulations. Get a yellow book, and thereafter a pink card. Latter worth having. Can be useful at times.

An awful lot of noise being made about this subject. Best to stay calm, and react only when the legislation is clarified.

Well said.

Try deep breathing. Inhale quickly, exhale slowly.

Cheap flights to blame.

What's your point ?

Not a minor incident. How would you react if someone kicked your mother, or wife, or daughter ?

The American way ? Personally I would avoid the American justice system like I would avoid the plague.

Shop around everywhere, not just in Thailand.

Both pathetic and disgusting.

Dogs, and cats, are eaten parts of Isan.

A good diet and a daily exercise regime will help, although I appreciate there may be other issues.

How long did it take you to comeup with that ?

So what ?

We understood both the context and the content of this racist speech. Because it happened long before the latest Scottish legislation it needs to be referred to the UK police referencing the UK hate crimes laws.

It makes no sense to allow the drinking of alcohol, the smoking of cigarettes and the (limited) consumption of meth, but not to allow regulated cannabis availability.

What are you talking about ? Comments on posts are much the same wherever they are written.

If people would switch from alcohol to weed there would be much less violence and alcohol-related illness in Thailand. Utterly fatuous comment from the PM.

Ignorant comment. Not only backpackers enjoy weed. It's way more civilised than alcohol or meth.
