I have seen it sold as cheap as 3 baht/gram with a claimed 21% THC content. Certainly prices are falling because of oversupply, it had to happen when any Thai can grow a few plants at home. I used to be a magistrate and whilst my experience is anecdotal, recreational cannabis use was a huge problem. Pot heads are likely to say "but look at alcohol..." that's just obfuscation, we are talking about cannabis not alcohol. If you really want to know about recreational cannabis use then you have to take your evidence from peer reviewed scientific articles. Start googling with the word cannabis followed by BMJ, or Lancet, or other sensible sources of peer reviewed studies. Without exception they come to only one conclusion.

Repainting a room because one wall is damaged is not necessarily unreasonable if repainting the wall is going to stand out like a sore thumb. There shouldn't be any scuffs on any wall anyway, I have lived here 17 years and never scuffed a wall, I don't recall ever doing it in my entire adult life. I rent out property, I put a percentage of the rent each month into a separate deposit account to refund the deposit at the end of the tenancy, that way I don't notice the pain of returning the deposit at the end of the agreement. I also write into the agreement that a deduction will be made for professional cleaning all the air cons at the end of the agreement and replacing the water filters in the Reverse Osmosis drinking water system as both activities were done prior to the tenant moving in and are really consumables. Air con indoor unit filters should be cleaned every 30-60 days, I do that in my house, how many tenants ever do it? My experience is zero. What every landlord wants is a tenant who stays long term, I have never understood this thing about moving to a new property every 6 or 12 months. A lot of landlords don't refund deposits because they can't afford to, it's just a symptom of them being incapable of managing their finances properly. What really riles me, is agents who continue to rent out properties of landlords who serially keep deposits. In my book they are jointly liable. When my tenants have a problem, I move heaven and earth to fix it as quickly as possible. Every landlord wants good tenants and every tenant wants a good landlord.

Standardised, hot swappable batteries… That’s far too sensible.

EV car batteries are far too expensive to repeatedly cycle, they are fine for emergency use during a power cut, but it's simply not economic to cycle them to sell the power to PEA.

My daughter test drove the Jolion but sitting in the passenger seat I found the NVH (noise vibration harshness) considerably the worst in class and we quickly discounted it. It also rides a bit firm.

Just remember the definition of stupidity before you fall in love again....

All Farang’s driving Porsche’s are evil people. Oh wait, I drive an electric Porsche.

There are hundreds of EV charging stations operated by a dozen or so network operators. MG alone has at least one fast DC charger every 150km in Thailand. Charging is not a problem anymore. For sure the network will need vast expansion as BEV’s become mainstream, but it is coming and the outlet’s are fairly standard, unless you drive an imported Tesla then you no doubt have the adaptor you need to use everyone else's network. CP & PTT are going to put them at their gas stations and 7/11 stores.

Google Maps takes some time to be updated, we have 2 EV’s and a 3rd on order. My daughter just drove from our home in Chiang Rai to our Chiang Mai home and used 43% of her battery in her MG EP+ which for a limited time is still available at 771,000 baht…an absolute bargain (the government pay a substantial part of the cost on the first 6,000 MG BEV’s sold this year). I have a somewhat more expensive BEV with a range of 510km. I know of at least 1 charger at a coffee shop on the way to CM, they are being added weekly and often they are completely free to use.

I hope he wasn't inebriated, insurance companies don't pay out in Thailand if inebriated and he will have 2 cars to pay for .....

I think the OP needs reminding of the definition of stupidity…

And the 3rd largest advertiser with Condy Nasty was.... You guessed it, Thailand's TAT

There are lots of different types of scams around COD. Another doing the rounds on Lazada is you buy something COD on Lazada, the seller ships you some rusty nails outside of Lazada’s system and never marks the item “shipped” on Lazada. You pay COD, the freight company pays the scammer and Lazada eventually cancels the order because it wasn’t shipped. You have no recourse through Lazada. Never order anything COD, you can’t check the parcel before opening it and there is now way to get a refund from the freight company or Lazada. Suppose you accept a parcel COD you haven’t ordered and it’s drugs, the moment you sign for it the BIB arrive and you get a few years complimentary stay at the Bangkok Hilton. It happened to a girl in Phuket. COD is a mugs game.
