Exactly, a survey like this can only be considered real in a country where prostitution is legal such as Germany. Elsewhere it's just a rough estimate.

It is true. You can see how cops are always looking for ways to better their meager monthly income. They are very creative, the roadblocks in Pattaya are the prime example. The rider without a license gets stopped at the roadblock then he is instructed to pay a visit to the police station where everyone is already expecting him, he pays 550 TBH and gets a paid mark on the slip. One cop even told me when I went back to get the motorbike, "If they stop you again you can show this slip with the PAID mark on it! 555

Same same but different...

You are neglecting the downsides, every substance has its downsides.

My research is my own experience with cannabis. Depend on the person/strain your reflexes slow down, also your cognitive ability goes haywire.

Not many people are willing to talk about it but cannabis really impairs ones ability to drive.

I meant the culture of the also Russian plumbers who visit Thailand not the scholars of course. Academic, scholar culture is apart in every country.

Russian culture is very rough by nature, the oposite of the buddhist culture of Thailand.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. This problem has roots in the corrupt nature of Thai police. The tendency in the Thai police when they come across all kinds of ilegal activities is to procure their share, their bribe first. This gives a strong message to all criminals that they can get away with anything.

Well, Robison Crusoe won't be seen in Phuket, that's for sure!

She was wearing the damm elephant pants when arrested! Another blow to the Khao San crowd. Some become begpackers some become kidnappers!

I did a dive master course there in the 2000's, there was a feeling of connection and friendship among the diving community. But things change fast in developing Thailand. That diving season actually ended with me catching dengue fever.

The man is on drugs! There's no doubt about that.

It's impossible to put the genie back into the bottle. Thailand already created a weed/CBD culture. People who understand and like these products will not accept the end of this industry. I belive that at the end what will happen is that most shops will be linked to Thai traditional doctors nearby who can write prescriptions for medical usage for anyone. You just claim that you are suffering from some misterious headaches...That's it.

It's actually almost impossible to identify an overstayer if he has foreign income and access to that income through a bank card for example. He can just stay in rented properties, whatever. He is almost impossible to detect, unless someone tells the immigration.

I avoid LAX at all costs.

Just those teenage hormones kicking. ..🤣

The passenger experience at Hanoi's airport is poor, it has a very limited choice of restaurants and shops, I'm not a fan of this airport at all.

Hun Sen when he decided to quit, simply appointed his own son as prime minister, why things in Thailand have to be so complicated? LOL

They mean the Zero in dopamine baseline. Cannabis as all psycho active substances affects your dopamine baseline, in the long run it can really affect you negatively. But sure, no one wants to discuss that.

His skull has been punched so much, so no wonder that he has brain injuries and speach difficulties. Let him self medicate with cannabis, until it no longer can help him...

He's definitely part of the latest batch of "high quality tourists" that Thailand has been able to attract!

The way this happens is that anytime you eat sugar or other carbohydrates (glucose), you force the pancreas to produce more insulin (to store all that into the cells), until the cells no longer respond to insulin, therefore starting insulin resistance and diabetes.

The best place to be in the Kingdom during Songkran is Chiang Mai. It's really fun there, almost a carnival.
