  1. Its not the items that need inspection, its the source of the money used to buy them. I imagine the sports cars will be "checked" by the senior members of many departments before they disappear
  2. no dope heads I know are inclined to run anywhere myself included
  3. what's due to happen in November? I saw that mentioned yesterday but apparently, at least according to some on here the new regs are already in the gazette. Are there more regulations to come in November?
  4. theres always plenty to laugh about regarding the left
  5. why did you not group the 3 posts together and make one common reply do you not know how to do that lol
  6. If you live out in the sticks like me I wouldn't worry.
  7. indeed, I always used to take a stash of amoxy back to the UK.
  8. I'd forgotten about the Korat "dialect" In our village we have 3 different tongues spoken Khmer, Lao and to a lesser degree "Suai" which apparently is an ancient language originally spoken by the elephant herders. They all speak Thai too as far as I am aware To be honest if one attends a music concert anywhere in Thailand these days one should expect frequent fights between Thai youths its almost obligatory but I'm not sure if they care much about what language is spoken. They would all fight their own shadows when drunk or methed up
  9. my mother in law is 80 or so (shes not sure) she speak with her friends and others exclusively in Khmer but can also speak, read and write Thai when she has to, My father in law was the same but he could read and speak and write official Khmer too, learnt in the temple apparently. My mrs and her siblings all speak Thai and khmer but none of them passed it on to their kids So the in laws can only speak Thai to their grandkids, as they were never taught surin khmer by their parents, I think back in the day the Thai government discouraged people from speaking khmer now its all the rage apparently Its interesting listening to people in the village talking to each other switching seamlessly from Thai to Khmer, a lot of local radio Djs do the same I also note that my mrs is quite reluctant to speak khmer to her mother or anybody else if she is on the phone and likely to be overheard by none khmer speakers who she doesn;t know
  10. Any evidence of a negative effect of cannabis on road safety ? I don't think the number of accidents has increased significantly
  11. Me too, out in the sticks and smoke discreetly, I'm not worrying, in fact I think I'll roll up now, Ahh happy daze
  12. The chances are any thing that required a script back home would require one here, I'm guessing there are drugs which are available over the counter back home which would also require a script here. Always best to do a bit of research first before travelling here or anywhere else
  13. And it differs depending on where in Thailand they come from Khmer Surin is a bit different than Khmer Buriram for example, Both differ widely from True official Khmer
  14. All Thais, at least all those who went to school can speak "central Thai"
  15. unless of course one is a drug smuggler, Seriously though anybody who needs to be told this should not be allowed to travel internationally. However, if cannabis is to become a "prescription" drug I see no reason for it to be treated any different than any other prescription drug IE if one has a script from their home country for medical cannabis there really should not be a problem. I wouldn't put it to the test though, not yet anyway
  16. somehow I don't think it will return to that for users I think the shops will bear the brunt
  17. The BBC is an irrelevance, better to ignore it,
  18. probably a good time to be a little more discreet if growing in quantity, "loose talk" and all that
  19. note the solitary thumbs down again! I wonder who that tosser is, whoever it is must be pretty spineless
  20. When transliterating Thai to Khmer or vice versa its always an approximation due to the absence of tones in Khmer. No different to transliterating Thai and English. Thai and Lao would work much more accurately
  21. Thai verses Lao think spanish verses Portuguese Khmer is totally different, no tones for a start
  22. One would hardly need to be fluent to translate any of that, If you speak these languages so well why could you not find a few more challenging phrases ? those are straight out of a guide book
  23. I have heard another member mention 30 grams but its not in the announcement, I think somebody is confused The article in the gazette states that it should be 30 days worth, no quantity was specified, (obviously different "medical conditions" would theoretically require different amounts,) the dosage will be decided at the time of prescription apparently
