Yes it is. I walk around every day seeing stuff growing on the side of the soi's all over the place just like any other plant. Probably with very little care and attention. There is a reason it's called "weed". I also know people growing stuff on their balconies without much difficulty. There are certain strains that are more well adapted to Thailands climate and those are the ones that should be grown outdoors. For outdoor growing in Thailand with minimal effort I would recommend an autoflower strain. Google should be able to help with that. People selling seeds should be of some help as well.

I've seen Green Crack for as low as 450b/50g online.

Except the unhealthy ones tend to spend their later years in misery with chronic health conditions, so best of luck with that. Ask anyone who has watched what happens to their diabetic parents in their final years like I have. Diabetes is no joke and gets more unfunny the older you are.

Nonsense. They never go that fast. ????

You can just go to the mom & pop stores in the back alleys. They will still sell booze to you.

I decided that if I am going to retire in Thailand I need to learn to speak Thai. I have gotten away without knowing much for many years of visiting. It's just a personal goal I have set myself if I am going to live here and gives me something to do. I will be living in Pattaya. Anyone know of a good school, one on one teacher or other method? I am also looking for app and online suggestions.

In this day and age I don't understand why anyone would use a local phone company to make long distance calls. I call the US/Canada quite often, talk for hours, sometimes on hold for hours, and I pay absolutely nothing. I use Google Voice and it works great. A service like Skype is a little easier to set up if you don't have a US cell phone number and very cheap. Lots and lots of other VoIP services as well. Paying the phone company maybe 10x more (at a minimum) or trying to get around it making collect calls is just nuts in 2022.

So I finally went to BIDH for consultation on IV sedation. They were very professional and the dentists seemed quite competent, so no complaints there. I was all set to do it when I realized that the price they quoted me was only for the sedation part. It's way more expensive than in the west. Over 40k baht just for the sedation. The form said "IV sedation for foreigner". So I think I was getting overcharged just for being a foreigner as well. The dealbreaker was the fact they wanted me to get a bunch of tests at Bumrungrad to determine that I was medically fit for IV sedation. It may have been due to my age but I am not sure about that and they didn't really say that directly. I didn't need any tests in the west when I had it done last year. That would have cost at least another 3000b but that was only their estimate. It may have ended up being lot more with it being Bumrungrad and all. The price they quoted me just for the crown work I wanted done was quite reasonable though. Less than the quote I got in Canada. So I would say that place is probably a good option just for that without any IV sedation. They also offered the option of laughing gas. That may be all some people need if it's just for anxiety. My problem is that I have trouble getting fully frozen, the laughing gas doesn't help with that.

I guess you are not in Pattaya or never leave Soi Buakhao. It's not just late middle aged men walking around. ????‍♂️ Lots of young couples, Indians, Koreans, all types. I would say late middle aged men comprise significantly less than half of all tourists in greater Pattaya. Those guys are mostly just concentrated around Soi Buakhao.

You can get the locally outdoor grown "Green Crack" at Cannabeach on 2nd road between Soi 7 & Soi 8 near Central Festival for 50b/g or 300b/10g. A friend of mine that smokes daily gives it two thumbs up. Says it will probably be his go to daily weed from now on. I suspect there will be a lot of locally grown stuff flooding the market now that we are at the 4 month mark of legalization, which is about how long it takes to go from seedling to bud. Don't buy the cheap "brick weed". Cannabeach sells it for 30b/g and 150b/10g. It's complete garbage according to my friend.

That's too bad. I can get Zolpidem (brand name Stilnox) over the counter in Cambodia as well as lots of other stuff that tends to be highly controlled in many other countries, so I assumed it was also possible in Vietnam.

Zopiclone is not the same as Zolpidem. Ambien is the non-generic name. A cheaper brand name for it is Stilnox. You can get it over the counter in Cambodia. I would like to know if you can get it over the counter in Vietnam and if it's any cheaper there.

Hi, Is it possible to get generic Cialis (Tadalafil) and Ambien (Zolpidem) over the counter in Vietnam? If so what is the approximate cost?

That is correct. I understand that I can extend my 60 days in country by another 30. I am flying out because I actually want to visit Vietnam and maybe Cambo, not just to get the waiver on re-entry.

So if I fly out from Bangkok to Cambodia or Vietnam just before my 60 day tourist visa expires in November, and then fly back a week later, I will be able to get the 45 day visa waiver correct? Assuming I am from a country entitied to the visa waiver, which I am.

There is a 2 entry limit in writing somewhere, but I think that is only if you do border runs by land, not through the airport. That is probably why this keeps coming up and why there is some confusion.

Is that 45 day visa waiver on arrival after Oct1 official? Not just a proposal? Not something they might walk back? I need certainty for the travel plans I am making.

So Cannabeach in Pattaya does in fact have Green Crack for 300/10g or 50/g. According to the person there, Green Crack is domestically grown outdoors. That would explain the low price and the reports of it coming with seeds.

I believe the "Auto" means auto flowering after a certain time period. Usually around 4 months. I'm no expert but I think that is what you want to be growing outdoors in Thailand because the hours of sunlight don't really change and that (also changes in the spectrum of light) is what causes non-auto strains to flower. If growing Indoors you can do that artificially.

It's always going to be more expensive at first. It's only been decriminalized for like 3 months. The first legally grown crops are only just getting close to harvest. I predict that prices will plummet soon.

I will check them out thanks.

Can't believe you think the blatantly obvious needs to be stated. Besides the point. There are literally hundreds of shops and stands everywhere. Not just in tourist areas either.

Riddle me this. Why is Green Crack selling for upwards of 300-600b/g or more in various stores around Pattaya and yet I can buy it online for 50b/g or 300b/10g or maybe even less. Supposedly it's the same stuff, maybe better. Surely someone in Pattaya must be wanting more business by selling it at a more reasonable price if their cost is that low no? 6-12x markup seems rather excessive.

Oh puuuulease. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that decriminalizing dope would be popular. ????

I really hate that LINE shopping UI. I just tried as a test and the order went through with no warning even though I put in all fake info. Then I went to cancel and there is no cancel option. Then I messaged the guy saying cancel and he said I can do it myself. If there is some way to do it myself I can't find it. The LINE FAQ has no info on canceling other than by the seller.
