Maybe it is time for the daily medication?
-
I disagree entirely, sure that worked if comparing to the first possible days of Tourism in TH. But the way the world changes from the old days to today, and then 20 years from now, is a completely different game. In fact, most young people I meet down south, did visit CM and even told me often they cut it short, as they were bored by it. People down south also used to visit Pai a lot, now not.

Love CM and had amazing years from 2012-2016, it only became worse by the year after that. Now it is just a dump if you ask me, they ruined the old city entirely too. Lots of traffic jams but few actual customers in most places, except perhaps nimman area. Too many bureaucrats, cops and nagging people too. Too many 1 person car driver BKK style. We left for the south of Thailand aside of some breaks in Bangkok during covid, I never look back to it. Only thing I still love is visiting Chiang Mai during the winter months as it's so nice. But can't miss the super hot months, pollution months, rain months. On the Islands down south just with not needing aircon, saves me over 45,000 baht per year, already. School less too. Food not more expensive, not sure where those fake stories came from too. I can get 1.5 portions from 50-60 baht at plenty places. In CM hard to find. Nothing is forever in life and we have to embrace changing I guess, but wow, it still hurts to know CM is not longer this magical diamond up north. Can't be fixed anymore either, as it was really about those old businesses, their owners and the vibes.

Single-use cutlery and plates to be banned !
ChaiyaTH replied to Social Media's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Replacing it with Hemp products accelerate the process and economy. -
Which is the lying part of this, that is quite common to happen. I got laid a lot in my early twenties thanks to that.

This is the gogo pricing I mention of course, but to be honest, 2-3K short time and 700B bar fines are a standard mostly now. Guess that explains why most places are way too empty. The business is still dying, it's just a very slow death. Except perhaps in magic Pattaya, there you still get the 1K 400 baht value in soi 6. Best on earth.

How long are booster jabs valid for in Thailand
ChaiyaTH replied to juice777's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
The rules are 2 vaccinations, they are no rules on when you got them neither is that related to 'boosters'. Why people even gotten the boosters is a clue to me, happy I took 2 sinovac on purpose. Not gonna get any more either. -
What's a fair price per hour for online teaching?
ChaiyaTH replied to Irrumator's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
What is fair or not fair totally depends on where you are, who you teach and sell it to. Some teachers think 35K a month is the standard, and it likely is at a public school. Just depends on your clients right. I used to always think I should charge less as I worked remotely and my clients were in Europe, that just shot myself in the feet for years as it was just my subjective view. Clients are happy to pay me as much as home, as long they get the good quality / service. -
Girl on dating site: ''I am looking for a nice decent guy who not talk about sex all the time'' Foreigner: ''Starts talking, let's meet up'' Girl on dating site: ''You can meet me at friends bar *gogo*, I only do PR"

Not at all, it is more populair within Thai to Thai business than it is with foreigners. In chonburi there are even places for (older) thai ladies with money to be entertained by six pack model Thai boys. But in the foreign scene yeah, often they get a old guy first, he dies, they now are loaded and then take a toy boy (not uncommon to see a failure younger farang getting big bucks just hanging around).

After 10 drinks telling you she want to go together, you paid a 1000 barfine and 5K short time at the first time in the gogo. You end up back in the room, to then get to hear exactly that sentence lol.
-
Exactly this, when I used the agent for my yearly extensions he would always take one for me. I never visited immigration. I was attempting to do it myself from now on, but so far, I already hate to be back in that paper and waiting game. Not to mention the new vaccine arrival nonsense (I was thinking to do some holidays again since years, cancelled already). Likely gonna pay my original 30-35K fees again and get it sorted remotely.
-
I don't call anything decent for that money + usually it either breaks or the battery is a mess within half a year with the amount Thais use it. Would rather try to get a second hand iPhone in that case or even do a down payment + contract. I know contracts sucks but it could be paid for in 2 years while the phone lasts 3 years and still is worth 5K or more. I replaced my iPhone 11 battery now after 2.5 years daily use (work and private), as well the glass, for like 3K in total AAA parts, and it is like new and will last me another 2 years easily. All this for just 17K new today's price. Not to forget how amazing iphones work too.

Replace might with will and else it's beers lol. But perhaps neuralink will be that advanced it can just trigger something in your brain to be like drugs.

Not reliable at all, you might get a whole different batch by the time you order #4 or #5. What is it with the anti-social buy online behavior anyway, first of all it is not legal to sell online and secondly you could just visit some shops in person, smell and try a few different kinds of weed and then just ask how much you can get right away + buy that. To me it is fun to visit the shops and see, there is often something new everywhere and I can get a coffee or coke + chill. And for the cheap outdoor weed lovers, you can actually visit various farms and make it a day trip too.

where to buy CBD or stronger gummies in Chiang Mai ?
ChaiyaTH replied to orang37's topic in Chiang Mai
I think it would be easier to find some good strong oil with your specific needs at any dispensary than it is to buy it as a edible. For a innocent big needle I guess can get at any pharmacy too, but you could also just do 1-3 drops on your tongue or inside your tea etc. -
How dangerous is it to drive in Thailand?
ChaiyaTH replied to george's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
It is all relative. I would still rather drive myself than having to go on the same day and road with a Thai driver. As a passenger I would still be fked in a accident as well. I'm more nervous with the domestic flights than going by car, even that makes no sense in stats. -

Buy gummy bears yourself and inject high potent oil yourself instead. -
Two male foreign bodies found floating near Racha Island, Phuket
ChaiyaTH replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Just read the fisherman used the life jacket, anyway, 2 bodies could be from anything. Silly to right away scream drugs or money. I guess that is how most cases end up closed too soon. -
It's in full development world wide, there are multiple options including even a temporary tattoo or sticker that can measure this way. However it will still take time until we see this devices commercially, quite normal in the medical world, except with covid vaccins in a magic 6 months (oh no they developed since 2012 with that on HARPA). Anyway, there are like 400 million people with diabetes so a matter of time. The issue seems to be they want the same accuracy as currently is gotten using blood samples. Give it a few more years and it starts to pop-up for sure: Despite the many benefits, sweat sensing requires huge efforts to address the following key challenges and in establishing a reliable correlation to gold standard BG measurements.

Depends where you are in the country, in the south they not do that bad. On for example phangan they also have nice new things like bacon packages for the breakfast at just 50 baht (i always end up throwing away the big size packs elsewhere). And even things like the european red bull, some coffee and other things is actually 5-10 baht cheaper there compared to the 7/11 too. Also I like it there, it feels still more like a super market, 7/11 offers way too much and it hurts restaurants etc too. They now even start doing the pizza oven thing on the island in 711, nobody buys a meal anymore, just coconuts and water.

So the OP would say nothing if they drank 8 beers from 4PM, but to start from 10AM and stop by 6PM with the same amount is bad.
