When I first started coming to Thailand about 6-7 years ago, I fell in love with Samui and ended up living there for 5 years, got married etc etc
Unfortunately I've developed pretty serious epilepsy and the regular seizures really scare and upset my wife. She begged me to move to her home where we can get some help when things go bad. So we did just that.
Since we've been here I've done a lot of modernising to the home including hot water, proper kitchen, proper furniture, sofas, beds etc - and the house is very comfortable. We don't have power cuts but the water does seem to go off regularly which is weird.
We're not right out in the sticks, we've got a 7/11 at the end of the road and a small town about 10km away. It is big rice farming country, so loads of massive trucks, tractors, weird motorbike trailer things, big harvesters etc. Community is very close and everyone very friendly.
I am literally the only farang around and at times its almost like being a bit of a celeb, people have asked for selfies and all sorts, quite strange. But I've also made a lot of connections and nice to drive around with most people giving you a wave or saying hello.
The only thing I really HATE about living here is the fkin music! Everyone seems to have huge sound systems, some in their homes, some mounted on trucks etc and it seems like the louder and more powerful it is the more people will be impressed. Even the temples play music from 5am sometimes. On the days where someone is becoming a monk the bass can shake your windows and there's frick all you can do about it because they get written permission beforehand. Supposed to remember Kreng Jai - but fook me is it infuriating at times. I had to invest in a good pair of noise cancelling headphones haha. Its not everyday either but on the days that people are celebrating something it can be very noisy. And there seems to be a lot of celebrating going on haha
But apart from that I really love living here. Cheap, slow pace of life, friendly, good natural fishing, lots of family etc. I've also been feeding the dogs round here and made a name for myself as "that farange who comes and feeds the dogs" haha. So be it!

A new day, a new search for the high-life. This time I'm after Edibles. Looking for strong cookies/cakes/gummies etc. I was getting some cookies a few weeks ago that were strong - 1 cookie and I was set for hours and very.... happy haha. But the place where I was getting them from has changed to a different cookie and now they're no good, can literally munch them down with no or very little effect. Same with a couple of others I've tried from online, all a bit disappointing.
So if you've found strong Edibles, please let me know
Thanks one and all, have a great day

Ahhh <deleted> haha. Thats the end of that then.
Anyone recommend any strong edibles then? haha -
As simple as the title states - I'm looking for recommendations for good/strong THC oil. Thanks all.
Also, is anyone making canna-butter anywhere? I want to get baking haha -
You wanna see the size of the pythons that keep trying to get into the Cat Sanctuary here on Samui. Absolutely massive!

I really don't understand the hate towards Samui. Yes its changed in the last 20-30 years, of course it has, same as everywhere. But it still has its quiet areas and less developed places. Stay away from Chaweng and Lamai and head to the South/West Side of the Island and you'll find it much quieter and much more "traditional". The only time the traffic gets a bit busier is during rush hour - which is normal for anywhere. Its still an amazing place.

It is not unknown for an ambulance to go through a red light, usually though it is in the case of every second counting in the patients life and accompanied by police at least in the UK they are.
Ambulances in the UK aren't accompanied by police, why would you think this?
A lot of the ambulances here on Samui have just as many modifications and Japanese style motorsport/drifting stickers plastered on them as some of the modded trucks and cars you see about. I'm sure its just a legal excuse to drive like an absolute maniac for some of them.

Hi chaps
I've got some top end UK carp gear for sale. 2 x Daiwa Infinity X Reels (UK RRP £349 each) and 2 x custom Century Cat Rods which are about £370 ish each if you can even get them (long waiting list).
The reels have a little bit of use, nothing heavy but the rods are absolutely brand new, never been used.
I want to keep the 2 reels and 2 rods together if poss
Reels - 24k (or 12k each)
Rods - 30k (or 15k each)
This is really high end gear, very little better than this and is perfect for tackling Thailands Monsters. And extremely rare over here.

As simple as the title asks - are there any shops in Lamai, Koh Samui - or anywhere do same day delivery of edibles on the island?
Thanks!

Guarantee there would be less trouble if everyone was high vs everyone smashed off buckets of fake whiskey

Unless you can come and smoke a fat blunt on the beach without the fear of being dragged off to jail - nobody will care. Nobody wants Hemp <deleted> ????

Hi guys and girls
What's the best way to send a bit of cash from my Thai account to a UK account. For sending from UK I'd just use TransferWise but seems you can't use it to send THB out of Thailand. What method are we using? The transfer isn't much, only a few thousand baht.

Is this for everyone ? I have seen this many times when people are singled out as suspicious and the bag is taken for further inspection.
Yeah its everyone, once you checked in the girl at the counter tells you where to stand and for how long. So you end up standing in a big crowd outside the excessive baggage room ????
Its nothing major, just a bit weird and annoying

Koh Samui is doing this thing that when you've dropped your bag at the desk and checked in, instead of walking straight round to the gate you have to wait outside the baggage inspection office for 10 minutes. If no one calls your name you can go. Its not a huge thing but its a tiny bit annoying. I've never seen something like this done anywhere else and I've flown from a lot of airports. Any idea why they are doing that?

Yeah thats definitely another problem, and the older drivers as well. I've noticed that the way to pull out of a road round here is - just head straight out, don't stop, no indicators, if the road is clear get into your lane but if cars are coming just drive the wrong way down the side of the road. Almost everyone does this. A lot of people also cut right across you when turning in etc, had a few near misses, luckily I'm a good driver. The kids just drive everywhere fast - and put holes in the exhaust so their 110cc crap bike sounds like a fighter jet haha
