Cannabis isn’t as harmless as people think especially for teenagers and young adults when the human brain isn’t fully developed until 25yo. It can severely alter the psyche of these young people. Modern strains are highly potent and basically zonk people out of their mind. I myself was a regular cannabis and quit a few years ago when I noticed things in my life i didn’t like. Irritability and even outbursts when I didn’t have it and I also felt its better to face the world with a clear mind. Occasional users won’t have these issues but when it becomes a habit it can be harmful.

I did a short walk along beach rd yesterday from Royal Garden to Walking Street and back and people kept whispering “weed coke ecstasy” at me.

I just recently spent $993 for a one way ticket back to the US after being here over a year on covid extensions. I can usually get a round trip for less than that. I’ll be happy to leave to be honest. The place has changed so rapidly and developed so quickly it’s not what it used to be. I’ll be back of course but I’ve had my share for now.

To me the crosswalk seems like the most dangerous place to cross. It gives a false sense of security and people drop their guard only to get run over by a speeder not paying attention. The city already has speed bumps everywhere.

I think the Raptors are cool trucks.

I saw them arriving by the busload to a hotel on soi 8 yesterday.

In the last week here in Pattaya I’ve noticed the Indian tourists seem to have a lack of respect for just about everyone else besides their fellow countrymen. Indians getting pummeled in Pattaya will be the new trend. Serious attitude on a lot of them.

I can’t really take anything this government says seriously. It changes week to week. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Just a few days ago a nasty thai lottery vendor refused to sell me lottery tickets and said farang in a derogatory manner to me.

I’m in a rural area of Thailand and covid has run rampant through this community in the last month. I’ve just recovered from it for the 2nd time. The first time I had it was 9 months ago and did 2 weeks in a covid hospitel now got it again. Most of the people here that are catching it have been vaccinated already. I think everyone is catching it as some point whether vaccinated or not. Maybe time to just get on with it and stop delaying the inevitable.

With 10 days left on my current covid extension, I was able to get another covid extension at an immigration office here in Issan today. Extended me into June with 60 days. Its looking like this will be the final one.

Similar cases like this seems to be regularly occurring incidents here in Thailand. I’ve read in the news many times when the son attacks the mom/dad/grandparent for finally cutting them off from the daily drug or alcohol money.

Nearly all of the hate crimes committed against Asians in America are done by African Americans.

On my early trip years ago I drank a lot of Carlsberg. It was one of the more popular beers found in the bars back in the day but got muscled out by Thai beer companies. Certain payouts to govt officials can get rid of any foreign competition.

They still got the ghost tower in Sathorn area of Bangkok standing from when they stopped construction in ‘97 during the financial crisis. They put giant IPhone advertisements on it now. Let it stand as a reminder to people of the dangers of investing in Thailand.
