the Thai version of George Orwell’s book “Animal Farm”
Maybe the Thai version of Animal Farm is different.
It might have all the ‘unliked’ bits removed, much like the expurgated version of Olsen's Standard Book of British Birds. ????

I presume that the micro card plugs into an adapter (what you call a case).
If this is the case then there is a slide button on the side that you need to move to the correct (unlocked) position.

Give the guy a break, Meniere’s Disease is a hard disease to cope with.
I know this because I get Meniere’s Disease every time I visit the Sukhumwit bar areas.
Next morning I’m back to normal but usually with a dry mouth, a headache and a much lighter wallet.

The party’s four demands are:• Upholding the Monarchy• The government must not engage in conflict with the people• The government must be stable and have majority support in the House• The party’s policies must be accepted
So what happened to the recent statement that Bhumjaithai would only join a coalition if the 'free kanja' (ganja) policy was accepted.
Is this one of the party policies that must be accepted, it is not clear in the article.
This is the reason that you got so many votes so please don't let down the people who backed you.
Signed,
A Hopeful Pothead Esq.

Well done Villa, it's great to see my team back where they belong.
Although a fair bit of the winnings will have to go to strengthening the team, there was a lot of potential shown at Wembley yesterday.

Hello, I don't know about the totally crazy from cannabis usage. But what I can attest to is the craziness I get when consuming alcohol, and from others Ive witnessed. Don't make a comment here unless you have knowledge.
Roblock does have excellent knowledge in this matter, he was reacting to the story with sarcasm.

Thanks for your help but I can only find small size light boxs on Lazada.
Did you see any 200 cm light boxes there?
Whoops , I misread your first post as 200mm, sorry.
Had a look and agreed that I can't find anything of that size.
Sorry for wasting your time.

Don't know of any physical shops that sell them but there are loads available on Lazada.

It does not matter how many times I read that article I still cannot find the myths that they are talking of.
I found a list of five facts, one disputed myth and one myth which is believed about Thai ex-pats but not by Thai ex-pats.
Below is the list that I found with my thoughts added on:
1. The TAT (Tourist Authority of Thailand) make up the tourist arrival numbers (True, how else would the numbers quoted change from one staff member to the next?)
2. Things are getting too expensive in Thailand (True, you would have to be blinkered (or very rich) not to notice this.)
3. You have a high chance of dying on Thailand’s roads (True, making comparisons of the road death rate against Eritrea does not make Thai roads safer.)
4. The Thai government don’t want us to stay here (Disputed, there is an element of the ruling classes that don’t want us, why else would they make it so difficult to stay?).
5. All expats sit in bars and date bar girls (False, ex-pats do not believe this at all, people who have never been to Thailand might believe it though.)
6. The Thai government a dictatorship (True, the current Thai government is a Military dictatorships, how else would you describe an unelected government that staged a military coup to seize power?)
7. There’s NO Freedom of Speech in Thailand (Freedom of speech, eh? I’m too scared to answer this one.)

How can someone who has been educated to a high enough degree as to pass medical school be so stupid to believe that people accept the crock that this clown is spouting?
As mentioned already in this thread, medical MJ is not available yet and when it is available it will be prescribed for a very few chronic illnesses, so how are doctors managing to prescribe CBD oil for stomach ache, insomnia, high blood pressure, muscle pains and anxiety?
Why is their no mention in the story of police action against the ‘drug addled’ smoker, who turned himself in to the hospital (knowing that he could be arrested) with stomach ache and nausea.
If the CBD oil is not coming from doctors, where is it coming from?
I presume that CBD oil would be much harder to get in Thailand (if not impossible) than normal weed.
Why have other countries that have legalized MJ (either for medical or recreational) not encountered these problems?
Why were these problems not apparent in the thousands of years that MJ was used as a medicine before the prohibition era?
Why are the only negatives about CDB oil coming from doctors, why have no documented cases been published?
We all know that if these claims were true then the Thai press would be scrambling to interview any of the ‘patients’ in this story.
In the 60s many people were duped into believing the ‘Reefer madness’ claims but that was in a time before the information highway, which allows us to carry out their own research and download actual medical studies/tests.
‘Real’ doctors must be cringing at Dr. Akhasilp’s claims in his effort to try to discredit marijuana.
Any doctor who knowingly impedes medicinal progress is an embarrassment to their profession and should be struck off.

I believe that the departure tax still exists but it is now built into the price of the flight ticket.

When the news broke about the 'possible' insurance requirement for ex-pats, this idea was suggested by a poster on Thai Visa.
Is someone from the Ministry of Tourism & Sports reading Thai Visa in order to pick up a few tips. ????

I am surprised at members saying they were treated rudely by the Embassy as that is not really one of their trademarks. I admit they can pontificate at great length but not in a rude manner I have found.
Next, people need to accept that British people having problems are dealt with as a consular matter in a specific section of the Embassy. A lot of the departments operate very much independently within the Embassy walls. Some people feel that the Embassy is there purely to sort out their mistakes and errors of judgement, which it most certainly is not.
I too believed the above until it was actually explained to me by an Embassy officer ' off the record ' Do I think there is an awful lot of nonsense and partying that goes on at the WE
I am surprised at members saying they were treated rudely
I am not surprised in the slightest.
Every time that I have had to deal with Embassy in Bangkok I have dealt with rude arrogant staff.
The worst ones to deal with are the Thai staff, who believe that they are above the people that they have to deal with and as such they look down on everyone.
I never understand why anyone who does not like dealing with the 'great unwashed' would take on a job that puts them in that position.
That would be like being petrified of heights and becoming a steeplejack.

I am amazed at the sense of entitlement some have when it comes to what their embassy should be doing for them. Embassies are there to promote trade and good diplomatic relations. Providing assistance to citizens of their country is limited to things like the issuing of documents and stuff like that.
The crap some embassies and their staff get on here is ridiculous. I can just imagine what some of the embassy staff say about some of the people they have to deal with who clearly orchestrated their own problems and made no reasonable effort to adequately prepare for any of the many contingencies that can arise in a foreign country. Who'd want to be consular staff at an embassy in Bangkok and deal with some of the self-entitled citizens from their country with problems who don't take responsibility for themselves and always expect others to be there to fix them?!
It ain't their job to help you in an emergency!
Why have they contacted ThaiVisa and offered to help in an emergency for then?
If it's not part of the embassy staff's job, are they offering to provide this assistance out of the kindness of their hearts and in their own time?
Who'd want to be consular staff at an embassy in Bangkok
Who'd want to hold a position where you work minimal hours, sit around doing sod all during the hours that you do work and getting grossly overpaid for the pleasure?
God, knows, where does the queue start?

I'd love to know who you, or your family, would contact in the circumstances that the Embassy provides assistance if you won't call them!
During an emergency why would we waste time calling the British Embassy, knowing that absolutely nothing will be done.

Somehow, bearing in mind your frequently aired opinion of the British Embassy staff, I doubt that there wasn't more to it than that. What sort of help was your wife asking for?
I was basically told the same thing by the British Embassy staff in Buenos Aires when I asked for help.
The British Embassy are useless worldwide.

I won't be putting that number in my phone book, complete waste of time.
The British Embassy in Bangkok does not issue passports or visas, these are subbed out.
Their current website absolute pile of steaming and is impossible to navigate.
If you need any documents (the one thing that they still do) then you are hit with a 50 quid bill.
As for the article, I have never met a Brit abroad (in any country) who has actually been able to get any emergency help from our embassy.
As Colin rightfully proves, asking for any assistance from the British Embassy is a complete waste of time.
Any Brits who have lived here for a decent length of time will know that they British Embassy exists in Thailand only as a cushy posting.

Imagine walking street NANA and cowboy if the people can all get high.
Tourism will definitely take a big drop in quality tourist.Pattaya will be a ghost town shortly after this goes through
instead, it will be the stoners and the Paedo and single drunks.
Well considering that you are not a stoner, which one are you then?
Tourism will definitely take a big drop in quality tourist.
Considering that you were able to use Walking Street, Nana & Cowboy in your examples, I would presume that you are one of these quality tourists that you admire.
There is much more to Thailand than red light areas, you should try some of the real tourist spots.

Seen any good movies recently?
I recommend 'Reefer Madness'.

Has Thaksin put the family dog up for election yet or is this a stunt that we will enjoy in the future?

I don't know what shocks me more, the stupidity of this woman or the fact that she decided to take this issue over to social media and let the world know how backwards she is.
Maybe there's a future in Thai politics for her.

Excellent work, run the poll on a Faceache page, so that any of the over 50s crowd who refuse to be forced to join this antisocial cult cannot have their say.
That should bring up true results.

Actually, Lost In Translation is a great movie and should have won the best movie Oscar that year. She worked brilliantly with Bill Murray. She is also stunningly good-looking in her next movie The Perfect Score.

Online 90 day report for Samutprakarn
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
Has anyone in the Samutprakarn region had any luck with the 90 day online report?
I fully understand the reporting window but every time that I try to submit the report I get the message of ‘For further information regarding The 90-day Notification Report Service, please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area’.
I did manage to get the report to work in August 2016 but since then I have had no luck, despite trying for every 90 day report since.
I have asked the boss (sorry don’t know her rank) of Samutprakarn Immigration about this but she informed me that as far as she knew the online reporting was working for Samutprakarn Immigration.
BTW, posting the 90 day report is not an option, as my nearest post office is about 100 meters away from the Immigration office, so I would not gain anything by using this method.
