  1. KE 659 Great time to arrive, off-off-peak time with few/no arrivals +/- 20 minutes. Now compare that to 12:00 - 13:00 with a dozen or so international wide-body arrivals with half being A380's.
  2. Confused. Are these your plants, or your "friends" plant(s)? OK, now I'm really confused.
  3. Of course not. A bit like the claims that cannabis growers in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia actually spend money on pesticides, and then sell brickweed in bulk for 1,000 baht/kilogram. Because they have extra money, want to increase their production costs and make less money. Anti-cannabis zealots know they are fighting a losing battle so they need to construct false arguments to buttress their position. And those arguments need to big, scary and at their core, unprovable. They hope to create fear, but ultimately just end up making themselves look silly. Meanwhile the Kingdom drowns under the weight of a methampetamine crisis, with per dose prices reaching single-digits. And there are no controls on the sale of meth. I'm all for controls on the production (testing), marketing (limited, but I do see some slippage on internet marketing of Leo, Chang and Singha beer), sales outlets (locations, opening times). I'd prefer to keep online sales intact, with biometric age verification, understanding that that system could be spoofed. But the benefit to smaller Thai growers is massive with direct to consumer online sales. I'm not sure what might happen going forward. I think Anutin would like to maintain recreational, even though he is loathe to use that word - recreational got lumped into the "economic opprtunity" bucket when he spoke at length yesterday, and is willing to accept many/most reasonable controls. The other side - mostly political opponenents looking for a wedge issue, seems unwilling to accept anything short of full re-criminalization.
  4. Most of these charters operate 1X weekly. And they (Pegas/Ikar, Azur) have smaller aircraft. Aeroflot has 3X/4X weekly flights SVO-HKT/BKK. They operate B777, for which they have limited access to parts and service. Planes are packed, in one direction at least.
  5. The Administrative Court on Monday has accepted a petition by board members of the Medical Council and opposition MPs to revoke the order by the Public Health Ministry which decriminalized marjuana for medical purposes.
  6. https://aseannow.com/topic/1276182-non-paranoid-train-of-cannabis/ Never had that paranoid reaction, but it does seem like some do. Could be your brain chemistry? Could be latent pychological issues/trauma? You only feel paranoid when you smoke ganja? How often do you smoke? Which strains are you smoking? Why are you smoking if it makes you feel paranoid? I guess the obvious solution is to stop smoking?
  7. Can't see the NCC adding Cannabis back as a Category 5 "Narcotic". This is simply allowing the opposition to have their say, hear their arguments, and then fashion both replies and eventual legislation. While they could revert to medical-only, I don't see that happening. Eventually legislation will pass, and that will provide more controls - who can produce, who can sell, can anything be marketed, how can they sell, any new taxes, who can buy, who can use, where can you use it, etc. But in the end recreational cannabis use will remain as not illegal, a la sex workers.
  8. Article mentions... Googling that gives more info, includinh photos. I think another alias is Haozhe Du, and Mafia Hao. He is said to be married to a Thai policewoman in Phuket who is a niece of a former police general. Just when you think Thailand couldn't be more corrupt, they go ahead and crank it to 11. At least someone in the RTAF was smart enought the move the jet from RTAF HQ at DMK to some tiny field near Hua Hin. This one has everything, the government/ruling party taking bribes donations, the police protecting criminal interests, the Thai military supporting criminals.
  9. Yes, that was the point of my post.
  10. Yes, but the OP mentions Delta (DL) as the airline operating the last segment. ANA are Star Alliance, and Delta is Sky Team. And yes, in many cases the excess baggage fee would cover all segments. And I do not think ANA flies TYO (HND/NRT) - DFW direct, non-stop. So much is lacking in the OPs post that any recommendations will be flawed.
  11. Kevin McCarthy entered Congress in 2007. Does your opinion apply to men? Republicans?
  12. How often do you taste poison? Oh, now I see you handle. Nevermind.
  13. Who cares. It's the "leaving" part that has us all excited.
  14. Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi. She did an AMAZING job leading her caucus effectively as the first female Speaker of the House. Her steady hand guided us through a tumultous time period. Kevin McCarthy, assuming he can herd 218 cats - and many think he won't be able to muster the votes - will have big shoes to fill. Her father was a Congessional Rep., and Mayor of Baltimore. One of my favorite photos of her...
  15. It's also not the first time rupert has attempted to "ditch" trump... I give you July 2015
  16. My read is that posting of the original typo-laden sign is not against any law. But that all the edited memes, and some were pretty disgusting, and some were pretty funny, need to be removed or else. But who knows what a "Highway Authority" really means. Thailand gets sillier every day, I love it.
  17. Judging by the photo, it looks like Trairong is using the latest technological developments to plot a winning course for Prayut. Is that a "fountain pen"? Wow. Quite the piles on his desk, can't say that's a good look.
  18. What is your final destination? What is the routing? This is a round-trip ticket, issued in Thailand, and ticketed by NH (ANA)? You've flown this routing before, with ANA? I have a few concerns, but the last leg may be on a smaller regional jet (Endeavor?) which may have baggage restrictions. And/or you might get hit with a surcharge from them. Obviously you should check with the ticekt-issuing airline for baggage questions.
  19. I just assumed there no "Page 26". Oof. There was. Massive burn from Murdoch. The Cheeto Chump is done.
  20. Rupert Murdoch turns on trump? "Florida man makes announcement" Page 26 Oof. Stick a fork in the umber idol. He's done.
  21. Throw this in the FIFA World Cup broadcast rights bag. Sorted.
  22. America, where anyone can grow up, run for President and lose the popular vote three times.
  23. I'm sure Melania is thrilled.
  24. He should save everyone a lot of time and just announce that he (already) WON the 2024 Presidential Campaign.
