    However, he estimated that the personal gains could increase to tens of billions of baht [in a few people's pockets] if the law on cannabis control is passed.

    Well I have to say this is probably one of the great out of touch comments for a long time. May I suggest drunk Glaswegians (English native speakers) be hired to encourage the learning process and the understanding of spoken English. This is just a corperate deal. Happens every now and again and nothing changes. International schools maybe but these are for a very small minority of the school population in Thailand. The privileged few.

    Reduce import and excise tax and introduce a VAT. Mmmm? Seems like kindergarten was back in for this one. Shhhhhhhh! No one will notice.

    Not scaremongering. Pushing an agenda. Plenty of practice at this over the last 3 or so years.

    Normal temp for April? My guess is yes and my guess is Issan. These nonsense weekly/bi-weekly excuses for writing articles about the hot season being hot HAVE TO STOP.

    Interesting comment. Child brides. Definitely Western. Child prostitution. Yep. Not Asian or Arabic but Western. Can you please base your comment on something. Anything but not the Catholic Church of course. Already normalised there centuries ago.

    Thailand to Face Unprecedented Temperatures Another rubbish headline. Seems someone or something doesn't know the meaning of unprecedented. 43°C-45°C is without doubt hot and April is shaping up to be a hot one BUT these are not unprecedented temperatures in the hot/dry season. 46°C+ for a few days and then it becomes a story.

    So her family knocked down the price 330k to 230k. They were negotiating with him to drop the price? I DON'T THINK SO. Sloppy if any editing. "Married in 2023 to his 47-year-old wife from Isaan, after four years of online courtship, he agreed to pay 300,000 THB but was later negotiated it down to 150,000 baht and 80,000 baht worth of gold, reported Daily News."

    Money than enough for decent educution facilities, more teachers, better equipment and more nurses for hospitals, employment programs etc, etc. I mean there must be billions of corrupt money.

    More thought bubble idiocy and populist nonsense. "Let's do this." "Good idea. How will we pay for it" "Dunno." "Excellent idea." "Thank you. More whisky anyone?" Loud applause! Morons

    Big Joke woes: Warrant issued for money laundering "The outcome of this legal request remains to be seen, .... ." This means the issuance of a warrent has not yet been granted by the court. Once again a complete rubbish headline from pseudo journalists.

    I think this point needs some expansion i.e. why it failed to form govt by using the conjunction because. Everyone knows what needs to be written after the conjunction. "The reformist party won last year’s national election but failed to form a government because.......... ."

    Only a guess but I reckon 2 patrol boats or a frigate would come in at substantially less cost. A big load of money down the crapper which of course the initial purchase itself was.

    Internal strife and political interference hinder Thai police reform High level corruption hinder Thai police reform

    Poor education base and no industrial sector. A recipe for disaster.

    Yep.Thaksin is behind the scene but so is the army and police. Much more money to be put into pockets if dope becomes illegal again. Yabba will spike and the pockets of the generals, cops and judges will start filling up faster. Just like the good ol' days.
  17. dinsdale
    True. And maybe people getting off yaba because they can smoke dope. Another positive for society.

    The thing is this should spark action. Problem is who does the action. The corrupt to investigate the corrupt is the reality. There is no other way because the top of every institution in Thailand is bent. I do, however, hope this is very juicy and damning 'evidence'.

    Hot weather forecast across Thailand today Hot weather forecast for the hot season

    Two medically distinct viruses. Common cold is distinct from flu, flu is distinct from covid and all three are disticnt from each other.

    The empty headed idiots are at it again. This is quite simply preposterous. Once again no real science is on didsplay here. Just a nonsence thought bubble proposed by idiots.

    Is this not a benefit for society. It's how things wpork. Business has a product. Product is sold to consumer. Business makes some profit which is injected back into society. Car and motorcycle purchase for an example. Sales to minors should not be allowed though.

    By drugs you must include alcohol. So a better world without alcohol? I think it would be a better world if all drugs were legal and there was no relgion.

    This is just opinion. A person who smokes dope can very well function in society. People who smoke dope ARE NOT constantly stoned. A minority maybe.

    Agree with kai dow mai soop I hope. Delicious meal and I like it best for breakfast. But sure there's nothing that special about it and the variations and quality are quite variable.
