Would love to give an honest assessment on this article but sadly cannot. Be interesting to know exactly what happened. Upshot is another foreigner has died. From the short vid above the Brit seemed completely off his nut or running away from something or both. The Thais guys didn't lay into him rather they subdued him. It's not clear what happened when they had him down.

Yes, dry herb vaping is legal in Thailand. Technically, the ban on importation under the Customs Act includes all types of vaporizers, including those for dry herbs. However, the ban on sales under the Consumer Protection Act only applied to e-cigarettes and refill cartridges, not dry herb vaporizers. https://asiavape.co/bangkok-warehouse/

No. Thing about dry herb pipes is they're not convenient. Not something you could have a puff on at work.

And of course absolutely zero fine/jail there.

Disagreement is one thing and personal attack is another. Go back and look at the OP I was responding to before making baseless accusations.

This is the reason but as I said above eventually it will be legalised and taxed and the so-called health issues will no longer be an issue.

Sure. Thais don't walk down the street toking on a joint. Not that I've ever seen.

Yep. Health is absolutely no reason to ban vaping without banning cigarettes at the same time. It's just BS from a non-elected government that want the tax money and protect the tobacco monopoly. I posted last week that in 6 months maybe more vaping will be legalised, taxes will be applied and licences to import will be given to mates or the Thai tobacco monopoly will control it.

Only in tourist areas and mainly if not only tourists. The rest of Thailand I doubt this very much.

5 years jail or a Bt30,000 fine for vaping is insane. Less for driving drunk where you put other people's lives at risk. It's all about tax and protecting the tobacco monopoly. Simple as that. Health has absolutely nothing to do with this.

This is simply a generalisation. I stopped cigs with vaping and so have some other people I know.

Nobody is saying that vaping doesn't have associated health problems or possible health problems. The argument is vaping is less harmful than smoking so using health as a reason for the making vapes illegal whilst cigarettes are legal doesn't hold water.

To those on here that argued black and blue that vapes were not illegal when I posted about heavy fines and jail terms what do you have to say now. My guess is NOTHING. This whole thing about health is of course complete rubbish when cigs are legal as I have pointed out many times previous.

Nobody can be this dumb. Voting in the US is non-compulsory. The majority of those that voted, voted for Trump that's why he won the popular vote. 1st time for a Republican candidate to do this since 2004. Of course the popular vote is not the most important. That's the Electoral College and this was an overwhelming victory for Trump including flipping the Blue Wall.

It would seem you don't know how elections work or what majority means. Let's have a look at your understanding. 100 people are voting for either A or B. 52 people vote for A and 48 people vote for B. According to you A wins but not by a majority. Is this correct?

All biological men just two of them look like it.

Another example of the insanity of the progressive woke left ideology. At least the US is now freeing itself from this absolute nonsense.

All interesting stuff but of course this is a potential no confidence vote of a non elected government that the people themselves showed no confidence in.

Haven't seen particular statistic from those with the frothing at the mouth problem. I wonder why.

Higher up IMHO. It was all part of the prearranged deal.

Stalling tactics are most often used to protect the guilty.

Just another example of corruption in a country that's corrupt from the very top down.

Not sure why you linked your comment to mine about immature toxic old codgers on here. As for your post though "What was also obvious was that the Thai students couldn't guess what the discussion was all about, they were simple not mature enough." this makes me wonder about the veracity of your claims. A lack of understanding does not in and of itself denote immaturity. In this case IMO it demonstrates the differences between the educational standards of their home countries.

Agree but he is a murderous dictator. Let's not lose site of that.

It seems you don't know what a word salad is. "A good question. The time for NATO expansion took some time. This IMO has been planned for quite some time. Have to wait for conditions to be right. There are books and PhD's being worked on about your very question I'm sure. This is global politics. Extremely high level stuff and very complex." Explain why this is a "word salad".
