No, this way of thinking does not take into consideration that there's no universal standard. In your home country cannabis has been decriminalized, it's considered a medicine, wonderful. But in country X, cannabis is still stigmatized, it's seen as a harmful drug that destroys the youth, not only that they created an expensive way of catching and arresting the possible violators to this. You country's standard is NOT universal!

Nope, when it was removed from a list of forbidden substances it became automatically legal.

Please don't be this foolish, never ever take cannabis with you when entering Thailand.

It's not a choice. The emasculated lack the energy to revolt...

Thaksin, the man who is the original "walking ATM", Thailand loves his money...

I understand your point, the items that really matter to you had an increase much higher than the "official" inflation rate, that after all is just an average, I have noticed myself the incredible increase in USD of many items.

I don't feel safe in Manila, but in a Scuba diving trip, I was able to visit many different provinces in different islands. People can be very friendly in the provinces. Even on Luzon island, if you travel up north, places like Vigan, San Fernando La Union, it's a totaly different world from Manila.

Same same but different...

The official inflation in 2024 in the US was 2.9% based on the consumer price index.

I just cannot believe that someone would be so stupid to try to get 30kgs of weed through customs! It's just unbelievable the level of stupidity! Cannabis is an organic product that shows very clearly in the X ray. How stupid. By the way, many European airports also have the sniffing dogs.

Auf Wiedersehen Freiheit! Hallo Bangkok Hilton!

He's playing to a home crowd for sure as anyone who is a little familiar with Khmer architecture knows that the disputed temples as Khmer (from the former Khmer empire) but if they belong to Cambodia, that's a different matter. When the border was drawn they didn't take the temples into consideration. Now neither side wants to give up the temples. Cambodia already has an incredible ammount of Khmer temples in Angkor Wat that they could easily donate, or give up these temples to their Thai neighbors.

This is the site for the German consulate in Phuket, https://embassies.net/germany-in-thailand/phuket Can someone in Phuket kindly contact them and explain the situation of this person? Thank you.

It wasn't meant for you. Just ignore it. Thank you.
