So presumably the OP's wife's money is half his too. So he has every right to be involved and comment on what she spends it on

who are you referring to, the sanctimonious members on here?

I Don't know which concerns me the most, The "shocking" crime itself and the fact that the heinous perpetrator is still at large Or The currently predictable attempt to sensationalise a very minor incident. Or the also currently predictable comments of outrage and indignation from the usual members of the " sanctimonious community" The attempted exploitation of "public uproar", is the sole reason for this article, However there was no public uproar, so the unidentified author , simply decided to invent some, it was a lie, the purpose of which was nothing other than to promote a strong reaction from the small but very vocal sanctimonious community who patrol this forum. The writer discreetly corrected himself in the final paragraph where the public reaction was changed to "mixed" but by then the damage was done as many on here never read past the headlines Then there was the usual reeling off of the maximum sentences applicable to reinforce the serious nature of the crime, and further embed into impressionable minds how seriously the authorities view this sort of behaviour 10 years or 1/2 a million or even both. Whipping up the outrage among the right minded members with calls for stronger and stronger punishment including of course deportation So sure was the author in his journalistic prowess, that he even predicted what the response to the article would be like when he wrote " Calls for maximum punishment, including prison, a hefty fine, and deportation, have surfaced." I know its a free country and a public forum an all that, indeed nobody forced me to click on it , and people are all entitled to have theie say etc etc But can't those getting their panties in a bunch over all these events see that they are just being played by the media, How many of the "outraged community" here from the UK for example, when back in the UK would devote most of their day to scouring the lowest elements of the UK gutter press for scandal, and then the rest of the day getting so worked up about it that they feel the need to make a public statement on an internet forum or maybe a radio Phone in , or daytime TV even. None is the answer, because they all had better things to do, So I guess what really concerns me the most is how easily some are influenced by the media, and how english speaking expats are so willing to turn on each other at the slightest provocation. The devil makes work for idle hands it seems Many expats on here complain of the way the Thai authorities treat them with disdain, What do they really expect when expats are incapable of presenting a united front, People should take a leaf out of the muslim book of expat behaviour, events like the one in this article should be dismissed and a dignified silence maintained, Sticking together has worked quite well for followers of the religion of peace, in the UK for example they are not just tolerated but accommodated, and most of the indigenous population particularly those in authority or woking for the media go out of their way not to upset them. Imagine life here like that?

as indeed are buffaloes and elephants not to mention pedestrians

Why did he "hastily" have to immediately arrange accommodation for the entire 60 days? anyway losing 13,000 baht is hardly news worthy

So from £282 for 2 months it ballooned to £7000 spent in the first 2 days ?. what a load of rubbish, (or the guy really is a simpleton)

we just used to make tea out of them threw around 500 in a thermos and threw some boiling water at them. drank it about 15 min later,used to get us right off our heads, Ah the good old days What are the "sitters and guides" for?

and as it posts

that's the second best place for an M&S cardigan, after the bin of course. I can't believe anybody would admit to having one, especially here

its pathetic in the UK. twenty- something year old TV and radio announcers telling pensioners to drink water and stay in the shade and open a window the moment it reaches 25 deg

I would bet that they were people with pre existing health conditions, or people who ignored the haat and carried on regardless probably not drinking enough water. The less fortunate are invariably impacted more by just about everything, that's probably why they are classed as" less fortunate "

get over yourself people die every day of the year

unlikely,. once again read the op, cannabis has been removed from the cat 5 narco list .. opium and mushrooms have been added to that list. can you spot the difference?

So its obviously not for you then is it, maybe try something else

if only you would open your eyes you would see that is clearly not the case. However that may well be the intention of any future legislation. What is wrong with people like you? After all this time , and with 10000+ clearly non medical retail outlets, millions smoking recreationally and not one arrest.You still insist on making your own rules up , give it a rest for gods sake, or start your own thread, hashtag "but but but Anutin said .com

I am not spreading "FUD" you pompous buffoon, and I won't be providing any evidence, believe what you want, its no skin off my nose. on second thoughts, sometimes people like you need to be told so chew on this..https://genhvac.com/bigger-isnt-better-comes-air-conditioners/#:~:text=Higher Utility Bills,it to shut off again. or this https://www.oasiscooling.com/blog/why-an-oversized-air-conditioner-is-a-serious-problem/ but i do agree with your final sentence, wrong is indeed wrong

Yet you quoted me. My comments are levelled at all those who appear unable to understand what is clearly written in the article

I've always found a nasal spray perfectly adequate for a runny nose, generally only resorted to "sudafed" ( in the UK) for flu type infections, or when me and the lads were cooking up meth

won't get very far on one mushroom

No I didn't isn't it brilliant ?

That reflects my experience , those pesky stones really are agony aren't they.

and not much use for simply a stuffy nose

Its hardly my responsibility to dumb down the headlines to a level where everybody can understand them. This subject is nothing to do with cannabis, The two substances mentioned are now class 5 narcotics, cannabis was removed from that category, with the exception of extracts over 0.2% THC. Its all there in the OP

I think you may be on to something ,in fact I'm convinced. Further more I have never met a more materialistic nation of people than the Thais.despite the teachings of the Buddha. I guess they lost that page

just another pointless poll producing nonsense statistics which no doubt support the views of those who commissioned it. Nothing to see move along
