The majority of the profiles on those dating sites are now fake. They are mostly male scammers posing as Thai women and using photos stolen from real social media profiles. Ask them to do a video call with you over the LINE app. The majority will refuse for the reason that they aren't the real Thai women seen in the photos.

Millions have heard of him and have followed his work for decades. But maybe not moaners in forums who spend most of their day bickering (with other people whom they don't know) about nonsense and who rarely get out or exposed to much else.

Yes, it was excellent. He was there on the opening night.

Sebastião Salgado was a renowned Brazilian photojournalist whose powerful black-and-white images captured the resilience and struggles of humanity, often focusing on social, environmental, and humanitarian issues. Initially trained as an economist, he transitioned to photography in the 1970s, gaining acclaim through agencies like Magnum for his various projects like Workers and Genesis, which highlight labor, migration, and the natural world. His empathetic approach avoided sensationalism, presenting subjects with dignity within their broader socio-economic contexts. In 2017, his worldwide exhibition, "The World Through His Eyes", was held at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) from February to April 2017. He was there on the opening night of the exhibition. It was a major retrospective of his work that showcased over 130 photographs, many in very large print format, including works from various projects he had done: Other Americas, Sahel, Workers, Migrations, and Genesis. It also featured iconic images like those from the Serra Pelada goldmine in Brazil and was supported by the Embassy of Brazil, drawing significant attention for its immersive display of Salgado’s global storytelling.

A sad loss for the world. He was one of the few remaining greats. --- Salgado had developed severe leukaemia due to complications from malaria contracted in Indonesia in 2010, his family said in a statement. “I know I won’t live much longer,” Salgado told the Guardian in an interview last year. “But I don’t want to live much longer. I’ve lived so much and seen so many things.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/23/brazil-sebastiao-salgado-death

Neither JR or JD are electable candidates. Getting 70+ million people to vote for either of those numpsters is an impossibility. They both are as sharp as the edges on a balloon and have the same sex appeal as tits on a bull. In addition, the country will have had enough of Maganomics in 4 years and it will be back to the democrats to hold office in 2028. Same as what happened after Trump 1.0 in 2020. You'll have someone like Gavin Newsom or Jamie Dimon next as president. Put someone like them up against anyone in Magaworld and they will beat any of them, eyes closed, and one hand behind the back. MAGA RIP 2028

I can even envision situations where someone gets caught without having their medical certificate on them. In that case, there would likely be a grace period during which they could present a valid certificate to avoid any penalties. So if someone is caught using cannabis without documentation, they could simply visit a clinic, get the certificate retroactively, present it to the authorities, and have the penalty dismissed.

The only 2 salient points: 1 - Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s administration is proposing licensing mandates, though stopping short of an outright ban on recreational use, likely due to political pressure from Bhumjaithai. So the likelihood of any strict ban or penalties for recreational use still seems very low. 2 - Cannabis users or buyers must present medical certificates and prescriptions issued by certified medical professionals, including both traditional and general practitioners. Usage will be limited to specific medical conditions like epilepsy, insomnia, and chronic headaches. So under the new framework, getting a valid medical certificate to continue using cannabis legally would just mean visiting any neighborhood clinic and paying (presumably no more than ฿500) for a medical certificate stating you suffer from chronic insomnia and headaches and require daily cannabis use. Done. Palava over. To me, it sounds like another nothingburger. Just optics. The government wants to appear proactive against recreational use, but in practice, nothing really changes. Just a minor nuisance to get a one-time medical certificate, then back to business as usual.

Understood. I use regular flower to make my own oil, and it’s really strong, it can get you extremely high. But the difference of just a few drops can have a major impact. Sometimes I want to get high, and sometimes I don’t, so precise dosing matters. I’ve been using the same batch for about a year now and have gotten to know its potency quite well. Here’s how I typically use it: 4–5 drops: Great for sleep, pain relief, anxiety reduction, and muscle spasms. Almost no noticeable psychoactive effect. 10 drops: A decent high with strong relaxation, plus all the above benefits. 15 drops: A very strong high. You still get some of the other benefits, but it’s not ideal for sleep because the psychoactive effects are quite intense. I’ve never gone beyond 15 drops, I don’t think I could handle more than that. I also have another batch made with weaker flower. Once, I took 30 drops of that, thinking it would be much less powerful, and it was still way too much, even though it was a milder brew. The high was too intense. Couldn't really handle it. So one needs to be careful. And 30 drops was still only 3/4 of 1ML. So small amounts is usually what's best. The number of drops I use really depends on the oil’s potency, which comes down to the THC content. So your experience might be different if you make your own oil, even with the same number of drops. Yours could come out what a different level of potency. And your tolerance might be higher or lower than mine, everyone’s different in that respect. The key is to make your own oil using regular flower, then start experimenting with very low doses. Start with three drops. Then try five. Gradually increase until you find the right amount for your needs, whether it’s just for relaxation with minimal psycho activity, or for a stronger high. Once you’ve dialed it in, your dosing will be consistent every time, as long as you’re using the same batch. I pretty much use 4-5 drops every night, whether I want to get high or not. It's just nice and relaxing.

I don't think you will find that very easily, as you probably shrewdly know. Most of the CBD oil being sold in Thailand, assuming it is even legit, is sourcing it as a chemical extract and then making the oil using that. But is there a reason you only want CBD and no THC? And what is your main purpose when using it? Sleep? Pain? I have some ideas on how you can use regular full spectrum flower to make your own oil, but let me know first what is your main objective with it.

And I’m Santa Claus. You’ve made all these so-called scientific claims about the quality (or lack there of) of the weed, yet you’ve provided absolutely no actual evidence to back any of it up. Just your "expert opinion". What really amazes me is how someone can even post multiple times moaning about the taste, the smell, or the so called quality of the high, while paying around $13 an ounce. Seriously?

Hyperbole much? Of course it’s real bud. I’ve bought all kinds of weed in Thailand over the years and seen it all. I remember when the only option was that dreaded brick weed, so things have come a long way since then. And honestly, the quality of the cheaper stuff from LINE vendors has only gotten better over the last 6-8 months, not worse. But you seem determined to paint everything negative for no good reason. Not sure what’s driving all this overblown doom and gloom, but people shouldn’t be misled by your complaints.

Sure, it’s not a huge amount, but you were the one complaining about buying 100 g and not being happy with the quality. I was just suggesting a way to avoid that, by not ordering so much at once before you’ve tried it. If you prefer to buy 100 g sight unseen, that’s up to you. Just don’t complain about it afterward. Not in my experience. The type of high you get is directly tied to how much THC you take in. It’s either strong or it’s not, you’ve either had enough or you haven’t. I’ve never had a “crappy” high or one that didn’t last, as long as the THC content was there.

I got some new stuff from Fis Hight 420 about a week ago, a few different strains. One was priced at 10 Baht and the others a bit higher, around 13 and 15 Baht per gram if I remember right. I’ve never found any this low end stuff from these various LINE sellers particularly strong, but it usually does the job. I’ll normally go for the highest priced bud they offer though, assuming it will be more potent. That used to be around 30 Baht the last time I ordered, which was a few months ago. Now it’s all even cheaper. I think the most expensive one they have now is 15 Baht. Anyway, the 10 Baht stuff looked really good, big, colorful, sticky, dense buds. The taste seemed a bit too fruity to be natural though. And it didn’t really get me high, so I gave up on it. Then I moved on to the higher priced stuff. The buds were a bit looser, drier, and had some black coloring around the edges, but surprisingly potent. Can’t remember the last time I got that high from low cost weed. Taste was fine. I was really pleased. The third strain I got from them was good too, much greener, smaller, and tighter buds, but also high potency. For 13 or 15 Baht a gram, I really can’t complain. Eighteen months ago, I would have paid ten times that price, for the same strength and would have had to drive to a supplier outside the city and buy larger quantities to get decent prices. Now I just send a text and the stuff shows up the next day. A lot lower cost, high potency, and no running around. But I’ll never order 100 grams at a time without trying it first. It’s not because of cost, but for the reasons you mentioned. Better to start with a small quantity when buying sight unseen. I normally order 10 or 20 grams of a few of their different strains to start, and then if it’s good, I’ll order more the next day of the one I like best, if they still have stock. Otherwise, if already sold out, I’ll order something else in low quantities again until I test the quality.
