It just gets better and better, I don't like the chrome badges, but hey, that's nitpicking.

We recently finished the process of adopting my eldest daughter (20). I needed to get a PDF email copy of my divorce certificate from the UK Court that handled it and made an appointment at the British Embassy in Bangkok where I made a statutory declaration that I hadn't remarried. That stat. dec. was then translated and certified locally into Thai and we took it to the "Legalisation Dept" at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chiang Mai for them to "improve" it. This means they stick a QR code on it. They rejected the translation and so we had to get it translated again in Chiang Mai. Back to the Ampur in Chiang Rai and the process was completed, my daughter was asked if she wanted to take my name. Like everything in Thailand, the process is arduous and a PITA, probably a dozen different visits overall.

You can't say pot harms nobody, it harms some people predisposed towards mental illness. It harms developing brains. I don't think they need to close shops, shopkeepers can do that themselves if they can't make a profit in an amended market where recreational use is forbidden. Why should the government pay up? Anutin said recreational use was forbidden, so the weed shops build their whole business model with an incredible threat hanging over them, they made a risky decision and it looks like it won't pay off. No sensible businessman would have opened a weed shop with Anutin's warning, it should have stopped at the SWOT analysis in the business planning stage. But yes I agree, the government is responsible for creating the debacle but the weed shops and growers are accountable for the risk they knowingly took.

Yet he said in June 2022 as he legalised it... "Thai Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he expected legal cannabis production to boost the economy but cautioned that recreational use of the drug remains illegal. “It’s a no,” said Anutin, who is also a deputy prime minister. “We still have regulations under the law that control the consumption, smoking or use of cannabis products in non-productive ways.”"

They make getting the prescriptions easy peasey in which case the shops can all stay open and fight each other for market share. As you say, no regular pot user will stop, maybe they can't stop...

Why should they? The weed shops knew Recreational use was not intended and their business is probably 100% recreational sales. You may take advantage of a loophole, but you don't bet the farm on it.

Toyota Alphard available in 2.4 Hybrid or 3.5 v6. both petrol.

Recreational use was never intended, Anutin made that perfectly clear in June 2022. Weed shop proliferation is sheer stupidity, they knew they were chancing their arm and now they will go bust.

Be very careful, your managing bookings might involve collecting money and forwarding it to your employer - that makes you a money mule (money Launderer) and equally as guilty if it's a scam.

It was his postman

Is that what your postman wants? Spice it up, why not!

I certainly won't buy an ICE vehicle again.

You don't need a bank, you can use a solicitor in the UK.

Money doesn't buy happiness either, but at least you can be miserable in luxury. If money can't buy intelligence, does that mean you can be stupid in ignorance?

The EV might be worth more than the Fortuner. Shouldn’t you have asked for an extra column on the spreadsheet for number of fires?

No, not yet

Yes, so it says both good and bad.

Strange comment? Are you smoking something?

3.3.1.2 Studies that show culpability Several studies have found that cannabis users are more likely to be responsible for crashes (OR 1.7).80–82 Crouch found that marijuana use contributed to the demise of 168 fatally-injured truckers in all cases in which the serum concentration of THC exceeded 1 ng/mL.83 Terhune’s study of 497 road traffic accidents found that cannabis users had a responsibility rate of 76% versus 42.5% for the control group. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2722956/ Paper titled “The effects of alcohol compared with cannabis on driving.”

It’s not down to me, forum rules, say if you make a claim, you have to produce the data.

1 baht per km is about right, you got good mileage on your fortuner, my Benz was 5 baht/km

I disagree, please share your data.

There is no UK tax because he’s tax resident in Thailand and the company made no profit. His tax liability is in Thailand and there is none because it’s remitted in year following earning.

Not true.
