Bday Prang

I know the feeling ! and its not nice lol Its strange how so many retailers are so slow off the mark with regards to selling skins, The only ones available where I live are the Thai style chicken brand which are the size of a bed sheet and have no glue on them. I should have bought more with me as I ran out weeks ago and now have to resort to shopee or lazada were some are trying to sell them for 100 baht per pack plus postage which makes them moor expensive than 10g of weed ! Yesterday I stumbled on a shop on shopee selling kingsize "Sedina" papers for 25 baht per pack so I've ordered 5 packs which will last a while as long as the humidity doesn't attack the gum Changing the subject slightly but I really don't understand what certain members on here hope to achieve by constantly berating the good old brick weed I spent the best part of 3 years stuck in the UK due to covid and all that was available was the over priced stuff generally costing around £250/ ounce some of which when sold in the easily available on Ebay official looking california bags was selling for over double that price Maybe after 40+ years of smoking there is something wrong with my cannabis receptors but I am much happier with a nice bit of brick and after buying it here for 30 years I have only been disappointed once as far as i remember Last week the misses came back from the local market with two 10g bags of very nice brick (100bt/ bag) and very strong ! the only complaint I have is that there wasn't one seed in it as I quite fancied growing a bit of it myself

Of course its not his fault. The blame lies solely with the owner of the boat, He was fishing in the Ocean, how on earth was he supposed to know exactly where the limit of the national park was ? that would be a set distance from the shoreline would it not ? GPS would be needed to establish the position precisely, but the captain of the boat would be all too aware that he was too close to the shore. Fishing in the ocean is not like hunting big game on dry land, there is very little control over what kind of fish is going to take the bait If it wasn't for the surnames of the "government officials" involved I doubt very much that the police or immigration would bother themselves with this matter which is really nothing more than virtue signalling by the usual "outraged netizens" whatever "netizens" actually means. Is it even actually a word ?

Not to mention the big vinyl poster that is no doubt currently being commissioned

I'm still wondering what people like you, who use the words "quality tourist " actually mean, Are you referring to "family types" who eat only at overpriced tourist orientated restaurants, spend most of the day visiting temples, taking rides on speedboats,or hiring jet skis, and then safely tucked up in bed by 9pm having consumed no more than a glass or two of overpriced wine ? All fully paid up members of the Temperance Movement ? (people just like you perhaps ?) I also cannot understand, how you have come to the conclusion that people attending night clubs or enjoying themselves in other less "family orientated " ways are not contributing to the overall economy, they also like to eat and drink, they also require accommodation, they may also purchase souvenirs , and any number of other things, Is their, money not worth as much because they enjoy themselves in ways that you personally disapprove of ? This is Thailand not Lourdes most people who come here are looking for fun and not seeking a religious retreat, although that is also available for those that want it. Thailand currently welcomes all tourists , even, or maybe, especially, the ones that people like you disapprove of , but if the TAT change their minds about the kind of tourists they want I am sure they will get in touch with you for help regarding the definition of "quality"

Thailand's "big problem" with illegal immigrants pales into insignificance when compared, for example. to the situation in the UK where tens of thousands arrive every year ! We even supply them with hotel accommodation , mobile phones , spending money and legal representation all funded by the state. If and when the decision is made to even think about deporting them we pay for them to be represented by a lawyer throughout an appeals process that can last virtually indefinitely In the unlikely event that the decision is made to deport them it can be stopped by some faceless bureaucrat in Brussels and the whole appeal starts again Thailand seems to be much more efficient in dealing with their illegals I would say there is no comparison There are agents everywhere who assist people to obtain visas none of them are offering their services for free and none of those services are subsidised by the state I doubt there are any illegal immigrants here who are actually a drain on public funds. Just because somebody doesn't want to leave 800,000 baht festering in a low interest bank account does not really make them "undesirable" in the same way that somebody who is prepared to do that is automatically "desirable"

I still could not care less about anything Mel Gibson says I would suggest that the obvious way to avoid infection and limit transmission of this disease is to limit contact with high risk people and those who have been in contact with them. But as it has been established exactly who is "high risk" no doubt you will be screaming homophobe at me yet again. I assure you I am not

Does that not apply to those working in "Indian" restaurants ?

I have no Idea what Mel Gibson's comments were, neither do I care. But it appears I will have to wait until the disease is properly established in the hetrosexual community before you allow me to comment without you taking offence

In a previous post you said that people indulging in certain sexual practices should wear condoms "it goes without saying" were your words and obviously is good advice, however you then repeatedly state that monkey pox is contracted only by skin on skin contact implying that condoms are not very effective in preventing transmission, all in all a little confusing However when I suggest education which would presumably include similar advice and maybe clarify things a little for all concerned you start screaming homophobia. So are you saying that "as a gay man" only you and other gay men are allowed to make practical suggestions and anybody else who does so is homophobic? By the way you have no knowledge of my sexual orientation despite what you think

No it was not

i don't recall the the words bisexual or homosexual being used in the OP However I am fully aware of the dictionary definition. but I fail to see the need to use countless other pronouns / adjectives MSM refers to men who have sex with men , that to me fulfills the definition of homsexual activity regardless of how these people wish to "identify" themselves In the same way that a phrase like "adults who have sex with children" fulfills the dictionary definition of Paedophile . And before the predicted outrage starts I am not implying that homosexuals or MSM are paedophiles. But this obsession with pronouns and how people "identify" themselves is not helping matters in anyway

Not as predictable as somebody screaming "homophobia" where non exists I merely suggested that education regarding methods of transmission might be appropriate. I think you maybe a bit oversensitive

Another Thai phenomena , If a dog bites you it seems to always have no owner , however should you hit one with your car people will soon crawl out of the woodwork demanding compensation for their "cherished pet"

Considering the long list of currently endangered species, its pretty clear that culling can have an effect, in this case it would be the desired effect as far as most sensible rightminded people are concerned There is no room for sentimentality in situations like this, Those who disagree would no doubt feel differently if they themselves or their children became victims, Its not much fun making several trips to the hospital even if its "just" for rabies jabs

Ok so its a rash with some anal "complications" which are probably side effects of the commonest form of transmission. Hardly cause for too much concern by most people. Education regarding the real purpose of that orifice might therefore have some effect on the progression of the disease. But fear of stigmatizing or even slightly upsetting the "community" most at risk will no doubt compromise any efforts to slow the transmission of the disease and consequently put the rest of society at greater risk of catching it

Walking around Siem Reap one hardly sees any dogs ! If Cambodia can sort out a problem like this why can't Thailand

100,000 baht per month !!!???? what do you feed them on sirloin steak ??? you think these dogs actually "LOVE" you?? I think you may need professional help!

what about toilet seats ?

"New Pandemic" that sounds a bit over the top when talking about what amounts to a "Rash" stop panicking people

I only just found out it meant "main stream media" I just can't keep up with it all

correct

seriously ???

So if its a cargo space, why does it look just like a seat? They gave up trying to enforce that around 5 or 6 years ago

People sitting in the pick up bed have obviously put their safety in the hands of a "higher power" and as such should be allowed to continue their journey unhindered

Presumably someone knows, but the answer is maybe so "politically incorrect" they might never be allowed to tell us! If, as it appears , we are no longer "allowed" to tell things as they are , I fear the end of the world is getting closer and closer.
