I've found eBay to be one of the worst online selling platforms. They absolutely refuse to admit when they have made a mistake and after a few messages back and forth they will simply claim they have already answered your question and refuse to continue the discussion. The most ridiculous case I had was when they blocked me from bidding on a vinyl record and claimed it was probably an import ban in Thailand. When I pointed out that I'd bought and received 7 records that year on eBay, they suggested that perhaps Thai customs had a limit on the number of records you could import in a year!!! The decent and right thing to do would have been to admit their mistake, apologise and put it right. But it seems they think they are above that sort of thing.

If he has a receipt it could possibly work but I think it needs to be arranged in advance.

The biggest problem with most of the cocaine being sold in the UK is that it's been cut so much, you'd be better off snorting washing powder.

I haven't tried from that vendor but I have tried Wedding Cake, Strawberry Gorilla and Tangie 4 (maybe not quite the same?) from vendors in CM. The Wedding Cake was good - strong - the Strawberry Gorilla was rubbish and the Tangie 4 was surprisingly nice. But that's probably useless information for you because it's from different suppliers. I mean, I've had Gorilla Glue that was really good from one source and total rubbish from another (so bad I am sure it was CBD bud being sold as high THC).

I don't live in a gated community (can't stand them to be honest) but I wouldn't say I live in a village either, unless you're strictly translating the term Moo Bahn as village. I live in the Amphur Muang, a few kilometres from the moat and pay about 60 baht a month. I think it used to be a gated community when it was built actually but that was about 20 years ago and it certainly isn't now.

It's really pointless to engage in an argument with someone who's so juvenile. There may be more than one race here (obviously) but it's a far more homogenous society than wherever you came from. It's offensive to claim that all Thais can't read maps - you can argue that it's not until you're blue in the face but that doesn't change the facts. Your comment on education may have some merit but if the education system in the West is so superior, why are so many of the expats I meet here just a step away from poverty? You'd think they'd have made more of a success of things with the fantastic education they received.

I ordered 100 grams of Thai Stick from a vendor for 799 baht. It was bud, not brick so I can't see why anybody would pay 3k for 100 grams of brick. He also sells compressed brick at 1,500 Baht per kilo. I don't know what that's like as I've not tried it but the bud certainly does the job. It's obviously not as well trimmed as the top shelf stuff that's grown indoors and it's a little 'agricultural' in comparison but it does the job. I'd estimate I need to smoke maybe 2 or 3 times as much of it compared to something like monster cookies, in order to achieve a similar high. But it's 100 times cheaper.

Not one single respectable academic refutes the existence of Jesus as a historical figure. Whether one believes he was the son of God is a different matter but anybody that suggests he never existed, loses all credibility.

What really speaks volumes about you is your misuse and misunderstanding of your native language, along with the fact that you resort to personal attacks when you are called out on your lack of education - a sad reflection on your own priorities I guess. Here's (the salient part of) a dictionary definition: "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." In this case, you believe a whole race of people have inferior map reading skills. Is that clear enough for you?

Thanks - When I looked before, I couldn't see any products in the first shop but I see them now. Also just noticed that both those links are for the same shop/person.

If you’d ever actually read the Bible you would know that, according to the Gospels, Jesus said the most important commandments were: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind…the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Stating that an entire race of people can’t read maps isn’t racist? I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word - generalising by race is exactly what racism is. If I announced that black people cant do maths and then claimed I wasn’t being racist, I wonder how many people would give me a free pass on that? Also, if Western education truly focuses on the outside word more than Thai education, why are so many Americans incapable of pointing out where various extremely well-known countries are on an atlas?

Just to give a balanced view: The last time I rented a house in CM, my 2-year-old daughter poked holes in the insect screens. Landlord didn't seem to have noticed so I mentioned it to him and he still returned our full deposit. Not saying you aren't right about most landlords here but thought it should be mentioned that some are very nice.

That made me laugh more than any of the weed I've bought in CM recently. ????

It certainly isn't the right price just for collecting refuse. I'm sure I'm not getting an 80% discount where I live.

60 baht a month in our Moo Bahn. 500 is way too much unless there’s other services that the ‘common fees’ include.

Thanks for the links but those products aren't there any more. I think it's a waste of time posting Shopee links - I found several one day, bookmarked them and when I went to order an hour or two later, they'd disappeared. Re. my last statement: What I meant was I spent so much time trying different strains here and there that I ended up smoking way too much, every day. Eventually, I began to wonder why I even wanted to get high in the first place. It wasn't really a comment meant for serious discussion.

I basically have. I did find quite a few decent buys but those buys were often not repeatable and I also realised that getting stoned every day is not what I want to do with my life. It’s been an education for me in that respect.

Sure, that's what I did. But at 300-800 a gram, it doesn't take long to spend 15k upwards even if you're ordering in the smallest quantities. Then, when you do find a decent one, they've more often than not run out of it by the time you go back to place a larger order.

About 9 times the price in the UK, where it’s still not legal. You must think we’re all muppets.

I tried quite a few different strains from the guy in the Night Bazaar area. I'd say half of them were rubbish but I did get some Platinum Cookies and some other XXXX Cookies (can't remember the name) that were decent. Had some good stuff from the guy by the kart track but his Gorilla Glue is total rubbish. I even tried drinking 6 bottles of Beer Laos Dark and then smoking it but no, not much going on there. Also tried a few from an online place - some okay, some bad. All in all, I've found the legal weed experience here a big disappointment. To steal a line from a TV show I used to watch, 'In my day, if you took drugs you knew about it.' I can't be bothered wasting thousands of baht experimenting and hoping to find something decent. I'm not even sure why I was bothering in the first place tbh. It reminds me of trying to get a decent nicotine hit from vaping. I used to spend so long with a vape glued to my mouth all day, it felt like I was breastfeeding again.

Who’s trying to educate - it’s just a discussion isn’t it? And with such a large number of misinformed people proclaiming cannabis is a totally harmless and wonderful plant, I see no harm in discussing the reality of cannabis as well as the fantasy. If it doesn’t interest you then scroll past. I’m not sure why people like you think they have a right to dictate what can and cannot be discussed? I have nothing for or against cannabis but it’s ridiculous to pretend it’s completely harmless, especially when smoked.

How do you know she spoke more languages than QEII and how is that even relevant? She spoke two languages fluently and 4 others less fluently - so presumably this 101-year-old woman speaks at least 7 languages?

All things related to cannabis should obviously include the negative health effects of long-term usage, unless it's a forum for people who just want to bury their head in the sand. I like it, I use it but I'm not blind to the health issues and neither should anyone else be, not if they still have a fully functioning brain.

I've now given up buying fancy strains at exorbitant prices. Some of them are very good but in my personal experience, at least half of them are completely useless. And at the prices they are charging, I'm no longer willing to gamble. It looks like they just stick whatever name and THC % they think of on the bags and whether it's any good or not is impossible to tell until you've wasted your money. Might try some of the Thai stick I've seen for sale at 200 per g in Chiang Mai and the Thai skunk for 250 per g. If neither of those are any good, I'll go back to being productive and clear headed I suppose.
