    Soi 6 beatdown

    And what effect do the "netizens" think this will have on the "family friendly" image of Thailand. Somehow I doubt we will ever hear It certainly puts that Swedish guys alleged kick into perspective
  2. Its actually worse because you end up with a "drugs" conviction on your record, which has more stigma attached to it than a DUI. The possibility of body cavity searches at airports for example in the future is increased, which is not the case for drunk driving
  3. The alcoholics will be telling you that its spelt" Hennessy "
  4. The current urine tests that one might be subjected to are even worse, they don't even test for THC but for metabolites of it which are not even psychoactive, but can remain present in urine samples for weeks . It is effectively a "lifestyle" test and gives absolutely no indication of intoxication whatsoever. It merely indicates that the person ingested cannabis some time in the last 3 months, as an added insult , false positives are very common too. The fact that people have lost their jobs and had their lives ruined because of this is a disgrace. The common threshold for failure is 50 nanograms, but there are more sensitive tests that can detect the metabolites at 20 nanograms, however they are rarely used due to false positives. I recently saw a promotional video for a testing lab in which the rep was positively gushing about a new test they had developed which was sensitive at levels of 1 nanogram ! considering that is one nanogram of an inert non psychoactive metabolite, one really can.t help asking "why for gods sake ?" The fact of the matter is that the effects of cannabis are nothing like the effects of alcohol, especially when it comes to activities like driving which makes the cut and pasted protocols for testing totally inappropriate, in my not so humble opinion
  5. They would need to offer a better exchange rate if they want to become attractive and why limit them to 30 days is there any reason they could not last indefinitely and even be used elsewhere?
  6. I guess you are not from the UK if you didn't understand that saying, but to be honest I should have realised that and moderated my language, as I could never imagine a British guy becoming infatuated with a corrupt Thai cop. You have obviously been taken in by his carefully manicured image, or is it his boyish good looks ? But, what you see is never what you get with high level villains, remember, all the infamous mafia leaders presented themselves as legitimate businessmen I'm starting to worry you might consider doing something unwise , when your idol's fall from grace is eventually complete, painting your bedroom black or developing an eating disorder are symptoms of depression so contact a shrink if you develop the urge
  7. A couple of guys I know had similar problems, like anything else in Thailand it was sorted for a few baht 500 seemed to be the going rate Just ask around a few different vets. I also heard of another guy who experienced some reluctance even after offering money but the vet changed its mind when he told them he would take matters into his own hands and kick the dog to death, guess he must have been pretty convincing
  8. I think you have been reading to many Tax threads on this forum
  9. Hard to believe that stories like this don't contravene the "community standards" of this forum
  10. Sounds like you need to sort her out, Me and my mrs can complete any packing in well less than an hour, Try asking yourselves if the "little things" that the rest of the world can do without are really necessary
  11. The only strong message being sent out here is that AI has a long way to go before it can even produce a news article worth reading This forum used to be called Thai Visa and was my goto source for decent visa information, Following the involvement of AI in most of the stories on here nowadays, I would very reluctant to base any visa related decisions on what I read on this website
  12. The overwhelming majority of people involved in accidents were doing just that, To one degree or another
  13. So now one can be determined to be "heavily under the influence" of cannabis purely on the word of a friend? but one needs to be properly tested at a police station for alcohol? Seems a little unfair, I call b/s on the whole story. The only things this incident has highlighted is, One, the appalling standard of journalism at the Thaiger, and, Two, The start of medias next wave of anti cannabis fairy stories that I predicted would soon follow the announcement of the authorities intention to recriminalize cannabis It doesn't seem to matter how incredulous the story , there is no shortage of people only two willing to believe what they read in the papers or especially on line Incidentally as far as I am aware, this is actually the first ever "news" report alleging the contributory involvement of cannabis in a traffic incident, and it is as I said above , based purely on the words of his friend, Now can somebody tell me how many instances of DUI have occured since the legalisation of cannabis , and in how many instances was a conviction secured purely on the word of an alleged drunk driver friend ? Is it only me that finds this rubbish an insult to one's intelligence
  14. its make your mind up time, First you said " He is the policeman who enforced existing regulations and stopped corruption" and now you are saying ".Of course there is corruption, corruption occurs in every country in the world." So which is it ? You cannot have your cake and eat it
  15. So is her fate to be decided in court or in the police station? Abysmal reporting as usual
  16. Ah so there is no corruption in Thailand anymore? When did that happen,? I must have missed it on the news
  17. So basically you "like" him based purely on his media image, which he doubtless has professional PR people taking care of. That sounds more than a bit weird to me. But then again I was never taken in by "celebrity culture" The fact is any support you may wish to give is limited to posting on here really, so as such it doesn't really matter who you side with , why even bother?
  18. well done, you even managed to mention Trump in a thread about badly behaved tourists. That's incredible ! Unless of course you were referring to the legendary british actor and star of 80's TV sit coms the late great Donald Sinden or maybe Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland
  19. World wide, very very few people become wealthy by being whiter than white, In Thailand nobody gets there without being as bent as a boomerang.Only an innocent child with severe learning difficulties would think otherwise. How easily some people are sucked in by a carefully choreographed media PR campaign is actually quite concerning. Not unlike white lab rats that have had there natural instincts bred out of them and display no fear of predators
  20. There are absolutely no inherent obstacles standing in the way of bribing immigration or any other official in Thailand, This jokers "anti corruption" measures were limited to having immigration offices remove their tip boxes from the prominent counter top positions they used to occupy. Most tip boxes were simply moved under the counter temporarily, I have no grudge against him personally, but for any on here to actually support him or claim he is some sort of angel displays a child like naivety and a laughter emoji is unfortunately the only appropriate response available at present, Do these people also believe that politicians exist for the benefit of society ? "to make a difference" ? judging my some of the gushing comments about "Pita" it would appear so. I didn't realise such gullible souls still existed these days, bless them.
  21. Without doubt, once they get to know you there will be problems, enough said, let's leave it at that I may be wrong but i suspect this could become a "popular post "
  22. Why stop there, give them a big Wai and some hard cash and a case of Lao Khao,
  23. Well I wouldn't live in a "gated community" if you paid me, I also have fruit trees and a garden, I frequently make trips away, and have never had any issues. Kind of rubbishes your theory
