Shocked farang

No, they are also in pain, most of the times the family is dysfunctional, there's no love and one of the parents is a narcissist.

Exactly. Homeless kids take drugs to ease the pain of being homeless, having no parents. Why isn't the government providing shelter and food for them?

The Sino Thais are a different category as they came in different waves of immigration many generations ago and are now perceived as part of Thai society.

Just saw five of them yesterday @ Pier 21 mall... ????

Well, that may be until they comit a local crime...Then heaven turns into hell.

This is a fact, known by many people who smoke it.

It's too late now for the state to intervene. The amount of intervention is also limited to the budget that a developing country like Thailand can have. Even in the Netherlands where Cannabis sales have been legal for decades now, the state does not intervene on the production side of the equation. In fact production there is a gray area, the coffee shops are legal and theirs sales are taxable (even though in my experience I have brought grams without any sales record). The production ends up in the hands of people who are willing to break the law. So in this respect Thailand is ahead of the Netherlands!

Exactly, that's the logic of liberalisation of soft drugs and strongly opposing hard ones that really demage people.

I don't think so. I have known of quite a few cases, people with pain, migraines, people with insomnia, glaucoma etc...

Based on what you described I would say, you'd better keep away from Cannabis, it's definitely not for you!

There's no way that the gennie will go back to the bottle! No way! LOL

I think that you are confusing the smoke coming from the incense at the hindu temple on Silom with pot smoke, really.

OMG I need a joint ASAP in order to process this overwhelming information!

Of course not, what I am saying is that he has a Thai passport, so he has all the rights of a Thai citizen.

Well he is still considered a farang by most Thais, the main advantage is that he can actually own land and properties in the Kingdom.

I don't think that he did as he's always mentioned as a Thai-American businessman.

Really, it's do stupid to propose such a thing. Of course most foreigners can afford this but people (like me) hate to be discriminated on the basis of their nationality. Many times I go to an attraction like a national park or a water fall and when I find out that only farangs are charged, I lose interest on the spot. I refuse to pay, not because it's going to make a difference in my pocket but I just don't want to feed this absurd!

Yes, the administrator of Phi phi Island! Right...

Except that when they go to an "all you can eat" buffet restaurant, they make huge piles of food on their plate that there's no food left for anybody else!

I agree but Thai Smile is pretty good as a budget airline for short flights.

Is he part of the "high quality" group of people that the government hopes to attract to Thailand?

These guys may be the reason that the last time I went to a Kasikorn bank in Chiang Mai to exchange a $100 note, the Teller made a photocopy of the note, my passport, made me sign the copies as well. This plus the knowledge they have about these notes, my God if you know them well, it's impossible to be coned.

Stop being dramatic my dear. There are no Indians involved in the sex trade in Thailand. Everyone knows that.

Yes! The Kepler universal gravitacional laws!
