  1. More accurately, it is no longer illegal to produce, sell, possess, or consume Cannabis flower within the current guidelines (licensed, over 20, not pregnant, no sales via vending machines, no use in public), from 9 June 2022.
  2. Best to just get a new TM30, if only on your most recent return before having business at Immigration. Especially if accommodation staff will do it. For those registered on the new system it takes ~ 90 seconds to file, find the record, and export as a PDF.
  3. I finally saw a photo of these women. One was wearing a mid-length sports top and tight black shorts. You can see dozens of women similarly attired in Benjakitti or Lumphini this morning.
  4. It's all about protecting the children. Time to ban recreational use of water. Drowning is the leading cause of death among Thai children under 15 years old. Every year, 1,500 people drown in Thailand. Recognizing the urgency of this public health crisis, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in Thailand took decisive action and spearheaded a comprehensive drowning prevention program. https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/addressing-a-range-of-risk-factors-for-drowning-through-cross-cutting-action-in-thailand#:~:text=Drowning is the leading cause,a comprehensive drowning prevention program.
  5. Defence Min Confirms Licensing for Fireworks Factory in Suphanburi Tragedy It is notable that the factory had previously experienced an explosion on November 30th, 2022. https://thainews.prd.go.th/nbtworld/news/view/39065/?bid=1
  6. PM probably regrets leaving Davos, where the AQI is a whopping 26.
  7. Same-same for the Minister of Education https://www.bic.moe.go.th/images/stories/pdf/ENG-MIN-CV_PERMPOON_V3.pdf
  8. And this is a daily flight, with each day probably close to being overbooked, so passengers pile up quite quickly. And you've got to get that aircraft back in service ASAP. Looks like it (HS-TKV) departed +26:45 as TG917D https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/hs-tkv#33a48997 Aircraft is a Boeing 777-3D7(ER). https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/boeing-777-300er-hs-tkv-thai-airways-international/ropv79
  9. So the sticker thing has been addressed and eliminated? I assume trucks overloaded with meth and illegally imported pork are free to pass.
  10. Define "lots". Sales to people under twenty years old are currently illegal. The situation you "highlight" simply requires ENFORCEMENT. Both on the cannabis front and the truancy front. Of course, it is, what a silly thing to "point out". What "point" are we missing? Young adults under 20 should not be consuming cannabis, meth or alcohol.
  11. ~ 9 million PTP voters are hoping some taxi driver finds the digital wallets that they have temporarily misplaced.
  12. Been there, done that.
  13. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/tourism/40034718 Data from U.S.-based vacation rental company Airbnb has Vietnam absent from the list of top 10 favorite winter destinations for Chinese tourists this year, while Thailand now ranks number one. Japan came second on the list of 20 most searched countries by Chinese tourists for 2023-2024 winter holidays. The statistics come from searches on the Airbnb platform by mainland China users from Jan. 1, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2023. The searches were for winter outbound stays with check-in dates between Dec. 22. 2023 and Feb. 29, 2024. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/places/vietnam-absent-from-top-winter-destinations-for-chinese-tourists-airbnb-4701652.html#:~:text=Data from U.S.-based vacation,Thailand now ranks number one.&text=Japan came second on the,for 2023-2024 winter holidays. Not seeing a distinction between hotels and condos in other articles referencing this "data".
  14. Bloody politician advancing a proactive strategy.
  15. So you can successfully log-in ~ 50% of the time using a VPN? If so, not sure the VPN is the issue? Which 2FA options do you use? I'd try NOT using a VPN, and use the Schwab app for 2FA. Schwab also supports SMS for 2FA. Do you have a US-based SIM registered with Schwab?
  16. "Suggested" by whom? Thai law and enforcement are "flexible", so we'll have to see how the Police are advised and directed. The current draft does stipulate a 60,000 (up to) baht fine and up to one year in prison for recreational use. You'd need to possess cannabis to recreationally use it. Thailand has already moved on to hard drugs, so no worries about Cannabis being a "gateway" drug. If anything, Meth (Yaba) is the sole gateway drug here. I don't think so. The message has been very, very, very clear, consistent and concise. Absolutely no recreational use. Medical use ONLY. No need for guessing.
  17. ZRH-BKK Swiss Air is the only direct, non-stop option. Suspect they were booked to capacity at this time of year. Re-booking, with stops, would have been challenging. Again capacity.
  18. This is called, among other things, Weed Salad. Not something I'd do, a bit like mixing three or more different wines. Can you do it? Sure. Why? Even if you stumbled on the curated blend of the century you can't replicate it. As long as you enjoy it that is all that matters.
  19. EU Air Travel Delay Compensation rights probably cover this mechanical (Mx) delay. https://www.europe-consommateurs.eu/en/travelling-motor-vehicles/air-travel/air-passenger-rights.html
  20. Does anyone know where he is now? Has he been formally released? It will be interesting to see how they manage the reveal, in the final episode of this Lakorn, when that happens. Maybe a bedside interview, where he can be made to look tired and 'recovery'. How soon before he's back to his arrival condition? A few months? Three decisions from yesterday showed that this country currently has no rule of law to uphold. https://www.thaienquirer.com/51579/opinion-three-disturbing-legal-decisions-highlight-erosion-of-rule-of-law-in-the-country/
  21. MFP MP Padipat highlighted the absurdity of this decision, and implicated the Thai judicial system, by pointing out that he was fined 50,000 baht for posting one photo of a beer on the interwebs. And these folks who commandeered an international airport were fined 20,000. Don't hold my beer.
  22. Probably not, pretty sure most TG aircraft top out at Business class these days; and it looked like J in his photos. Hopefully, when he returns to Bangkok and leaves his "wallet" in the taxi, a fine upstanding taxi driver will return it.
  23. He did fly commercial on this trip, he made a big deal about that on his social media.
