Yeah, true, but stabbings are pretty rare here in Vancouver..... in thailand they're a daily occurrence, whether they involve foreigners or not. I used to love Thailand but I kinda got sick of it lately. Too many issues. MIght go there on holiday again but not sure (also flights are a lot more expensive these days). I still find their attempts to lure the richest foreigners pretty pathetic. I guess some idiots will go for it, but any millionaire with a brain should know that if you are loaded there are millions of better places than Thailand to spend your cash.

well, aside from the facetious conclusion the post you replied to was spot on so I don't really get your reaction. Covid has been in Thailand since day one, thinks to the people walking across the porous borders with Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.... and the draconian rules on international travel have made absolutely no difference. The Thailand pass, the tests etc were, are, and will be nothing but ways to squeeze any possible baht out of a visitor's pocket and/or to allow the idiots running the country to pretend they were actually doing something about the situation.

meant sarcastically, but potheads are definitely much better tourists than alcoholics... sure they might drink and spend less, but they'll just enjoy their life instead of looking for fights. But it's all moot anyways.... 'Cannabis' with less than -.2% THC is NOT Cannabis, it's hemp (I'm from Canada, where pot is legal as it should be in any civilized country so I know what I'm talking about) This is typical thai stupidity... Yeah, let's 'legalize' some hemp and call it Cannabis so we can keep the local conservative morons happy and at the same time attract a lot of tourists... Good plan, guys, except for one teensy, weensy little detail... Nobody in the west is stupid enough to mistake hemp for Cannabis and nobody will go to smoke thie garbage (even the best weed, fully illegal of course, they have is garbage compared to BC bud from Canada, not a chance in hell anybody will go there to smoke their hemp) whatever, they could do the right thing, legalize for real and get a lot more tourists (not to mention it would also benefit many locals since it is a very useful medication as well) but they prefer their <deleted> schemes that won't have any positive result... I'm seriously debating never going back there... I've had enough of thai stupidity.
