Bday Prang

Its worse than that, he's obviously another one who wants Thailand to become more like the miserable country he chose to leave. I really cannot understand people with that mindset. they must feel like fish out of water, I can guarantee he would not be in favour of a requirement regarding a certain level of Thai language ability (both written and spoken) and he obviously struggles to understand how things are, and have always been, done here

That's probably why he has one, up to him none of my business, but he needs to keep his Ideas to himself, what sort of person advocates stricter regulations for those they feel superior to, when they personally will probably also suffer the consequences of whatever changes come into effect?

You sound like one of those people I came here to get away from, nobody was forced to obtain a "non o(a)" visa ,and I can't understand why anybody would (except through ignorance) There's nothing to be gained for you by advocating for stricter regulations to be imposed on others, in my opinion, people like you who behave like that should be banned off this forum You have no idea about my or anybody else's ability to fulfill any visa requirements and it is really absolutely none of your business, get your own affairs in order and leave any matters relating to the compliance of others to the immigration authorities, it's their responsibility not yours Furthermore, referring to your fellow expats as "farang" just makes you sound ridiculous and more than a bit arrogant, rather like a retired teacher, have you applied to be a tourist police volunteer yet?

Yeah and it would create more hassle for everybody currently on non o visas, you should keep ideas like that to yourself

so the rumour and fear mongering continues,

Very good point indeed

well when you do you can revisit this thread and maybe able to make a more informed and balanced comment, At the moment you are way out of your depth

The only things sad and disgusting is your belief that this warrants the death penalty, and the reasons you have for thinking that way

Not sitting in your chair? still standing ? well it's early yet isn't it. you drink alcohol hopefully god will give you strength too ( as if I care) never bought anybody a drink to "join you"? of course you have. one for the road? well why not eh? I don't think that the owners of the companies that legally produce Lao Khao , hong tong, chang or leo are exactly strapped for cash either, Weddings, funerals, birthdays, etc etc its always there and people like you criticise those who won't drink it , shaming them into intoxication, that's how it works, its a social thing. but its all fine with you because you have the backing of governments for your hypocritical views

The big question is why do people take it in the first place? Its not because their life is sooo good , but yes decriminalisation is the only way if coupled with education

If there are not many heroine users in singapore then explain why people risk their lives bothering smuggling heroine into that country,

explain why? and explain why you don't think alcohol suppliers should not be subject to the same fate, but try and do it without mentioning the legalities or government's involvement, You can't

A typical response from somebody who knows very little about the real world

so you base your opinions on what governments tell you?, Pathetic, Cannabis is legal in many places now, has that changed your narrow minded opinion of it? why not? What if heroine was legalized, no doubt you would want to share a needle with somebody ? You should learn to think for yourself (when you are not incapacitated from your legal drinking of course) cheers

Very true, many of whom have no choice

great song too

not far wrong

Just legalize it all and provide some factual , truthful, and relevant education, Problem solved, easy as that

I can almost guarantee, having just looked at the time, that the OP will be smugly sat in his chair , sipping away at his drug of choice, having extolled the virtues of the death penalty for those involved in the supply of other peoples drug of choice You really could not make this up

And the people who supply either are just filling a gap in the market. drinks containing 40+ % alcohol kill more than heroine and have devastating effects on society, but thats just fine coz the gov says so

Heroine addiction "very bad" and enabling it is a capital offence, Addiction to prescription drugs handed out by "doctors" well that's just fine, move along now

once things are approved by governments its all ok , Even murder is fine if it is accompanied by the sound of trumpets and drums

You don't know much about addiction do you,?

lol just beat me to it

As indeed does Alcohol, and indirectly Petroleum and Diesel, then there's Cars, Motorbikes, Fast food, and lets not forget Sugar and Salt , what about the use of children in mining cobalt and other rare minerals, used in the construction of mobile phones ? would the OP approve of the death penalty for anybody involved in the supply of those? Of course he doesn't, he is just a virtue signalling hypocrite
