I've seen shops describe the content of edibles as: 

x mg (i.e. 50 mg)

x g (i.e., 5 grams)

x ml (i.e. 5 ml).

Anyone know why they use difference units of measurement (ml vs mg).  Also, how can a gummy with 50 mg be described as 'strong' when someone is selling a brownie with 5g ?

Still not sure how this is better than Thailand Elite, if you just want to retire here.

Also, how do wealthy individuals who do not draw income or a pension, but rather live on their savings, show income?  It could discriminate against retirees with 10s of millions sitting in CDs or such.

OK prayut chanochan. I hope u will continue to stay and support Thailand. 

What he may mean is that unlimited does not mean max speed.  You may be limited to 512kbps.  Also you may be limited by a FUP, hours, or even which internet services you can use.

They could make it simple and just issue 90 day stamps for everyone

 

Wasn't this the norm pre-thaksin?

Any where you can go in, choose from a selection, and then spend the next couple of hours or so there (perhaps they have other food/drink items).

Thank you

@JayBird no-one is scared of a needle but the people who dont want a vaccine or a booster have a right to decide what they put in their body.   

The argument I often hear about why one does not want to have the shot are arguments that I find hard to accept:

-- 5G chips

-- Made from dead babies

-- Lizardmen blood

-- Bill gates will monitor me

-- CIA is tracking me

-- It will change my DNA and I'll turn into a lizard man

It's hard for me to agree with that reasoning.  If they come up with more coherent arguments:

-- I do not care if I get sick and make others sick

-- Keeping my body pure from this vaccine is more important than helping keep the community safe

-- I have medical conditions that make this dangerous for me

Then I may or may not agree with their position, but at least it is a coherent reasoning that I can understand.

But given that our bodies are so full of junk already, a vaccine booster is probably the cleanest thing to get put in it ????

How about not being such a 'snowflake' living in fear of such a little virus?  How about not being so scared that you won't go outside unless you wear double masks and a face shield, plastic gloves and keep washing yourself down the hand sanitizer. ????

I don't live in fear.  I'm vaccinated ????

I also don't wear masks because.. you know.. I'm vaccinated.

I do wash myself regularly tho, but that's just good hygiene.

I've yet to see an Arabian woman sunbathing, swimming , driving a jetski , parasailing or even exercising. 

There could be Arab women who are not strictly religious, so it might require closer attention than just their clothes.

This does not apply to me, but I am curious:

If you are an american covered by medicare/medicaid but want to retire in Thailand, is there a health plan that will cover you in Thailand that takes into consideration you are covered in the USA by Medicare/Medicaid?

I believe Medicare/Medicaid does *not* cover you in Thailand (you have to return home), but is there some way to top-up the plan or get an add-on, or some sort of affiliate that offers you coverage at a discount (versus signing up fresh with a brand new company)?

Thank you.

What happens to mix race couples?  There are foreigners here married to Thai.  Do they pay the Thai rate, foreign rate, or in between?

How does it work with apps like agoda?  Will they be required to ask the nationality of the person booking then show the rates?

These Indians are becoming a nuisance and drain on police resources.

I hardly recall an issue before they came, nor anyone else claiming a problem.

Maybe inform all Indians on arrival:  If you wear gold you will not be helped by police nor given a report for insurance claims

It really is and quickly.

But there are two Americas now.

Can they live together?

History says they went to war with each other.  It feels like the war never settled anything.
