  1. I've seen advertising signs for them in front of various weed shops near Asoke, as well as on Facebook. There are also weed bakeries selling cookies and brownies.
  2. Yes, thank you. But I'm referring to the situation at present, in the absence of a cannabis law, not to what the situation may be in the future, when they finally get around to passing the law.
  3. "its recreational use in Thailand is still illegal under public health regulations and secondary laws" They keep saying this, but never explain what these " secondary laws" are, or what exactly they forbid. The general view of the authorities seems to be, "well, we didn't intend for recreational use to be legalized, so therefore it's illegal" - even if there isn't actually any law against it. The fact that the Department of Witchcraft and Jungle Sorcery restricts the sale of cannabis to children and pregnant women, and that public nuisance laws forbid annoying people around you with your skunky weed cloud, is not at all the same as saying that recreational use of the substance in private is unlawful.
  4. They did indeed say that. This is yet another case of Herman's Hermits Syndrome ("second verse, same as the first"), and will probably see the same level of enforcement (i.e., none).
  5. The length of stay you are given will always be determined by the regulations in effect on the day you arrive.
  6. Will they deny entry to people who look like they want to indulge in recreational weed? No. So this is just more empty yapping. The level of idiocy is simply breathtaking.
  7. It only worked, sort of, a little bit, at the height of the pandemic, and that was ONLY because most people were staying at home. While the concept of social distancing is sound in theory, in practice it's pretty much impossible to implement as long as normal numbers of people are moving around - the available space for people to stand doesn't suddenly triple or quadruple just because that would make things safer.
  8. Yeah, I think most people would think of it as noodles with some thin curry, not as a soup.
  9. Today: "Cables on some roads in Bangkok, covering a distance of 7.2km, have so far been put underground by the BMA" In February: "In 2022, urgent work will begin on moving 456 kilometres of communication power lines underground, while the remaining 936 kilometres will be completed within three years" https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/in-focus/40012330 So, it only took six months to abandon the project, because the telecom companies don't feel like paying to clean up their own mess. What a triumph of governance ????
  10. I've flown back to Thailand twice in the past month: from Vietnam to Don Muang, and from Malaysia to Suvarnabhumi. On both occasions, airline check-in staff asked passengers to present their vaccination certificates (either in paper or on the phone). It was just a glance, not an in-depth examination. On arrival at Don Muang, the corridor from the gate area heading to immigration was blocked by Ministry of Public Health personnel who checked everyone's vax proof as they passed (again, just a quick glance). At Suvarnabhumi, on the other hand, there was no check of health information at all on arrival. The government had said they would only be doing random spot checks, and that was indeed my experience. I have no idea how either check-in staff or arrival staff handled unvaccinated pax, because everyone I saw (only a small percentage, of course) had a vaccine certificate.
  11. According to this Facebook post from several months ago: "LEO Columbus hops are imported from USA, and have a strong bitterness and a slight citrus scent. "LEO Yellow Sub hops are imported from Europe, with the scent of tropical fruits, oranges, apricots, and blackberries predominating. "LEO Galaxy hops are imported from Australia and have the aroma of sour fruits, fresh and juicy"
