Cannabis has a calming effect whereas alcohol encourages aggression.

I wrote GENERALLY accepted, not entirely accepted.

Advantage is that the pink card is generally accepted as the individual foreigner's ID. No disadvantage that I can think of.

Putting aside the politics of this issue I was impressed by the PM's English spoken version of the change in policy, just as one would expect from a former student of the University of Surrey in Guildford in the UK.

Very well said.

Some projects succeed and some fail, a fact of business life. To stay ahead make sure the successes outnumber the failures.

Most people on here couldn't care less but, personally, I would try to save it. BTW it doesn't look like a pigeon.

Trump's receptions in the Arabian Gulf states rather undermines recent comments on AN that the world is laughing at America. Quite the reverse in fact.

You make an important point. So much depends on personal circumstances when facing a terminal illness. I should have added a lot will depend on the ability/willingness of those around him in Thailand to take full responsibility for his well- being if and when he becomes unable to do so himself.

The poster was asking for a recommendation as to whether or not he should return to his home in Thailand. If he is able to pay for whatever treatment/medication he needs I would say he should return to Thailand. BTW morphine is available for home use, at a price.

The nursing side of palliative care in Thailand is as good as, and often better than, can be found in most western countries. Further, the restriction of some medicines for domestic use also applies in many western countries.

There was never a need to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos islands to Mauritius which is over a thousand miles distant. Why on earth the Tories started this is a mystery, now compounded by Labour apparently also in support of the transfer. Also, the cost of the terms is enormous at a time when the UK is bankrupt and heavily in debt.

Palliative care readily available in most parts of Thailand. ,but not for free.

I wonder why the suspects drove into a car park in Pattaya to dump him. Usually victims of this kind of violence are left to lie wherever they fall.

Not my post.

Somebody close to De Niro urgently needs to tell him to stop making a fool of himself.

She has helped a violent illegal immigrant. Not a great look for someone in her position.

Any country would be rightly concerned to find foreign beggars on it's streets. It's objectives should be to improve the lives of those of it's own citizens who are impoverished.

It was an interesting post in my opinion.

Patpong was a blast in the 70s and 80s. Then came the night market which stifled the party atmosphere on Patpong 1. It has never been the same since, in my opinion.

The whole world is laughing at Americans ? I don't think so.

Living and working in the Middle East for some years I was struck by the unpopularity of the Palestinians with their neighbours and near neighbours. The consensus seemed to be that a Palestinian presence in their countries would lead to trouble. This attitude manifests itself in the lack of meaningful support given to the Palestinians from other middle eastern countries.

Maybe you mean 'asinine' ?

AI used to stand for an activity to do with intimate relationships.

Entirely correct. Begging etc should be an activity reserved for Thais.
