There is simply many bad CBD products, and for many medicinal treatments, you often also need THC as well. Sounds like a useless and incompetent study to me. There is hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of medicinal users who have good relief from all these products, and even not using the additional painkillers on top of that anymore. Many CBD products in countries are not potent at all, this is again due to the lack of full legalization in those countries. Same as they said extracts here can't have a lot % in it, makes no sense at all.

I guess it depends on the age groups, on the higher age end, usually there is some existing wealth already. There is also the younger ones, I moved here in my early 20s, I know dozens who did similar to me, and nowadays that is even quite normal to do as working remote is a 'new standard'. I would most likely go for a condo too, even if it was to rent out and then rent a house myself, if it was my own money. However in my case I am married and have a son too, so the idea is that all of it eventually goes to my son anyway. To protect a house one could do a 30 year lease as well, buys a lot of time. You might never own something but still be sure to outlive it, and compared to rent, still make a return or even profit on it too (this is why many do it in south). Last but not least in recent years, if people are married, it is not impossible to get at least 50% of your worth back if you take them to court. As long you can prove you paid for things and you bought it after you married, judges are not that fancy of girls taking advantage of guys here anymore, including foreigners.

Not at all, it is super logical to do even, as it is much easier for a Thai to get a proper mortgage and the foreigner is often bringing in money from abroad or working online, having his businesses or jobs abroad (making mortgages again hard to impossible). All the exceptions to the rule(s) is when people earn this above average amount of money, to even high amounts, where there are some doors opened. I can earn 100K a month and get no mortgage, even having 10+ years statements proving it along with other documentation and company records, getting no condo in Thailand for sure. My girlfriend can earn 40K baht for 6-12 months, and buy any 1.5-2M baht condo, basically.

Lol that is absolute nonsense comparable job in posts, those people can not even be found in Thailand, that is why the salaries for such jobs are extremely high. In fact most people doing those jobs in Bangkok are foreigners, just go look in one of the Booking or Agoda offices there. Also there are just some hundreds of jobs, in a country with 60+ million. Those jobs are also senior positions, even harder to find. And even those in Thailand who do earn like 30-40K baht, they are usually in big long-term (20-30 year) debts with having a education debt, bad car lease, credit card loans etc + spend easily 10K on a place to live in BKK and public transport costs alone too. But sure, you are right, there is also a good 4-5 million Thai people that do earn at least that figure, still few compared to all of them. Doubt there is more than half a million that earn salaries like the one from your linkedin screenshot, if they do they are business owners. Or police generals with side businesses etc. I believe the official prime minister salary is only like 70,000-90,000 baht a month too.

There is plenty where all 3 generations stay at the farm house and do nothing much at all, except when a big harvest is somewhere, they work for some weeks.

Just met someone telling me the same, he said Tokyo was cheap while he expected it to be expensive as everyone who went there in years before said so. I think many people who did not go there recently, will not even know how much it changed. According to him finding a room for like 20-25 a night was no issue either, that's the same I lose at least in BKK.

What does it change if you are married? I mean it sounds like the same issue? Curious to know.

What if the condo was owned by a company, and the company owned by her, and him as a minor share holder + will, would that change any? Just guessing it could give more than a year time as as long the company exists, it is still Thai owned.

That sounds like so messed up lol, so when you married together and bought a nice condo on mortgage, worked a whole life together and paid it off, she suddenly dies and you find out the foreign quota is not OK, you are basically 1) kicked out of your own life long home and 2) forced to sell it under the price to a Thai within a year. I would attempt to bribe the juristic person in the condo building to permanently 'reserve' a foreign quota in that case, or just transfer it before she dies. I guess this is one of the few benefits of having a child here tho, at least it can be in the kids name over time, but also still a gamble obviously, accidents can always happen.

We not deal with VFS at all, i do not get your reply at all, zero relevance to my comment. What i stated was very clear; many embassies do not renew when your status here is not legal, so that could require you to first need to give up to authorities, in order to have the paperwork satisfying them to get you a new emergency passport. That could also mean detention in the meanwhile. To overstay is not a big thing at all, to actually let ones passport expire and ignore it, is very unwise, let alone if your doing both...

Disagree, my embassy (european) does not do passport renewals if you are not on a valid visa in the country. That would be a special case aka emergency passport and I actually would wonder if they do it without any hassles too.

Look now at what? Zero has changes and there are no problems at all. Those of alcohol are still standing. This comment makes your casino post even more silly lol, you are clearly entirely unaware of the casino goals and project, they want to attract mainly foreigners, it will be near UTP airport. Guess you are that far in the dark of reality, that you are also not aware that most gambling Thais are in debt due to the government lottery. A new casino is the last to worry about, same with weed, then one should worry about lao Lao and yaba.

Non-issue, they already made clear since ages that these casino's will only be at a specific places. Besides that, most Thais gamble online anyway.

It's funny how few people seem to know about the huge investment project near UTP airport, where the casino obviously will come, I knew since early covid about.

That's just weird, in Europe any girl from 16/17/18 would be dating and doing whatever she wants, with guys who are in their twenties, up to 28-29. Isn't this guy double F'ed too, I heard that an American is also accountable back home if doing this abroad.

Seems they are doing it for the sake of bangkok wanting results, same as phangan, they could have cleared 100 plus real violators there in a day. could dedicate an entire ferry for it lol. Its just pathetic now, specially if having lived here before or since the coup in 2014 and then seeing today. Its sad.

He is actually quite optimistic as well as realistic, the issue is more with guys like yourself, sticking their head in the sand. however always amusing for me, freebie bored girlfriends and wives of those guys who stick their head in the sand as well… at least you can be proud on one thing; you are thai enough to only think black and white. Scared of color.

I have friends that are fluent in thai, written and spoken, and still are hassled by on purpose, specially if it is people who want to be special (stewardesses, officials, hotel manager girls etc), as they somehow wanna show off their english (which is super basic and <deleted> compared to their fluent bangkok thai). Same on the lower ends, like myself speaking “basic thai”, as soon they hear that or even a dating profile is 1 year existing, they dislike or hate you. its a country of superficial nonsense, pre judgements and xenophobia, sad but true.

Wouldnt miss gamma but like bob, seems he is smoking too much weed tho

Ha i dont think so, they charge 3-5-10k easily, thais are cheaper. but then again, you get a real woman too

They are expensive else ive been in the market before. In my early days i once wondered into a russian bar naively, the girl actually warned me and told me to leave asap or it cost me a lot just for drinks, walking street pattaya hehe.

Apply ngo jobs and continue be a sucker lol (im not a fan). In terms of getting married and her having xyz job, wouldnt it be the school to ask, instead of random people who are unaware of xyz details? The questions kind of confirm why i dislike ngo and gov workers lol. In case is is next: no i dont know quiz nights or vegan places.

Anywhere where there is constant tourist streams of people it is you having to prove your different and then you meet an entirely different person than that person is as a daily worker dealing with tourists. But i get where you come from with this, when living elsewhere in Thailand already and then visiting for a short holiday, the behavior in the south can come across as very aggressive and negative, anti-foreigner almost. To fix or address that is the same answer though, you have to show and proof you been around, are not a complete idiot en behave well. It sucks if being on a short holiday as of never getting that chance in that case, so again, i get where the topic comes from, feeling wise. In Vietnam this is even more of a thing.

He is right a bit maybe but for the very end 'we do not do that to you', the Thais do all kinds of stuff in other countries in terms of business, corruption and bribes. It's always these Thais who then do like foreigners, because they likely studied abroad or whatever, who speak like if Thailand is some fairytale. To say Thais can do bribes and corruption, but you as a foreigner should not, is obviously stupid to say as well. You can't live a easy life in a country where corruption thrives, without joining the corruption sometimes, specially if you live in certain areas or you would do business in perhaps hospitality and tourism. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If he wants foreigners to not do it, start with addressing the locals their actions and behavior instead of the 0.0001% incidents caused by foreigners here.

Liquid cooling is the best, I even do it myself right now by sitting in the waterfall while working.
