71 million people live in Thailand, I think a large percentage of them have no interest in cannabis and it won’t influence how they vote. The Health minister who decriminalised cannabis has currently less than 2% of the vote.

Advert on Facebook, HIGH ROLLERS SPORTS BAR & GENTLEMAN’S CLUB Soi Chaiyapoon, Pattaya Featuring more than 50 high class hostesses ? high class hostesses, new name for bar girls ?

Don’t worry if cannabis does take off the big boys will move in and put the small growers out of business.

Foreigners can’t do certain jobs that Thais can, honest answers can a Thai person not manage a bar ?

I think you will find that the majority of cannabis is being imported and the people who thought they were going to make billions aren’t.

I think you better stock up because all the parties apart from one are against full legalization of cannabis, it will be legal but for medical purposes only, the intention in the first place.

Oops ! A colleague has just renewed his wife’s Spouse Visa in the U.K., the fees were just under £3k I believe. X Ray, English Language Test, Biometric Fingerprint plus the application fee. He is unemployed didn’t have the £62000 but they had an account with 3.5 million baht in a Thai Bank obviously which they had to show proof of.

I have applied and been granted 3 Visitor Visas for my Thai partner, proof of earnings was never required. I sponsored her so I had show I had the funds to support her during her stay in the U.K.

Currently not strictly legal the bill didn’t pass through Parliament before it was dissolved.

If a visitor visa funds only need to show she or he can support her whilst in the U.K. no idea where you get that figure, ? Even applying for Spouse Visa only requires funds of just over £20k.

The Night Wish Group own the majority of the bars on Soi 6, think around 25,

Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel is the home of the basement bar Thermae. So what's Thermae? Thermae is Call Girl Central. Huh? That's right. Walk into Ruamchitt's basement bar and there will be a bar. No music. No wall decorations. No band. No female hostesses. No female bartenders. Just a bunch of wide-eyed guys trying to not look silly as they clutch their bottles of Heineken and loads and loads of pretty women standing about the fringes of the bar. It's a sight.

Not just Soi 6, loads of farang bar managers in Pattaya, some one must be ‘issuing’ work permits to them if it’s a job they are not permitted to do ?

There is hotel on Sukhumvit in Bangkok, there is a club in the basement, the girls stand round the perimeter all decently dressed waiting for offers.

Like anywhere in Thailand are the they regulated, are you insured travelling on a baht bus ?

Bryan Flowers of the Night Wish Group own over 20 bars on Soi 6, it doesn’t leave many for the Police ?

Sitting side saddle ?

Staff shortages as airlines are struggling recruit new staff after laying them off during Covid, most have found other employment, high oil price and airlines trying to recoup the losses from Covid sums it up. I would imagine airlines will be up to speed with new recruits, the oil price has dropped, will this mean cheaper fares ? No if people are prepared to pay the current prices they won’t drop.

I think there will be more departures than arrivals !

Wouldn’t the Police be better employed stopping all the under age kids with no helmets, licence or insurance ?

Why would you want to helmetless in the first place ?

Great for cars but wouldn’t stop the motor bike riders.

Not when I was there.

With today’s long range weapons it doesn’t matter how long a border is as proved in the 2nd World War, just bomb the hell out of a country as Britain did to Germany and the USA did to Japan.

Close Beach Road yes, make 2nd Road 2 way, how long would it take to educate people it was 2 way. For me the first people that needs educating are the Police from the top to the bottom so they can seriously enforce the laws on the roads.
