Even now those protestors got their own elected party, most of these young gen demands are still fantasy anyway. They all think to get minimum wage to 700 baht right away too, some even say 1000 baht. Yet they work just as slow as always, nothing from their side improved. Imagine for some crazy reason they actually do make it happen, it would make Thailand even more expensive than it already is today (near being over priced for many things). Personally I do not care that much at all, I do know that it was very stable and calm here in general, under the army. That is good if wanting to attract business too.

What has free speech to do with giving a idiot like this guy media attention all the time, to then discuss things that are not up to him. Free speech my ass, we would need 10,000 interviews.

I don't remember we voted on him, yet he get attention again, so tired of this guy.

Sure but even then, it is still more than perfectly doable to sell it for 80-100 baht. I consider that a normal price when I have to visit Bangkok, you simply pay a bit more for everything if not wanting to waste 20 minutes time, going to a cheaper place. If people think that is too much, they should consider moving to another city I guess. 3000 baht a month for a good coffee daily is normal to me in BKK, in Chiang Mai i get 2 for this hehe.

LOL talking about court when it is about 500 baht fine, who cares, pay and move on. Waste of data this.

They usually do not do further updates, few is reported of what happens. What happens usually comes from the FB pages of the monk and rescue foundation, which is a fraction of all accidents and things happening.

People die like weekly on phangan, it is funny how it is always about ko tao. But always hard to claim or prove foul play with the drugs used combined with alcohol and water near by, if that is the case at all for this one of course.

No benefit for your body, but we are talking about taste.

I am a big coffee drinker and there is plenty of places up north, where you get fresh roasted quality beans (multiple options) and in my case a hot latte for that from 45 baht. 9/10 expensive places, the taste does not even come close to their coffee. For the more exotic imported ones, specially arabica, they charge at most 75 baht a cup, still super reasonable. Maybe the difference is that they also own a farm, have a cheap shop house, and run it as a couple without additional staff. And they smile too, speak english. In south europe also plenty of good coffee for a cheap price, so that is a nonsense argument. The >100B is just some ''i drink coffee in 5 star hotel rooftop bars'' or I live in New York crap. The problem in Thailand, in my opinion, with quality is mainly because most businesses are owned by those who have most of the money, to then hire cheap staff and have zero passion or interest in their businesses or customers visiting the branch or branches. They just launch 10-20 shops, if 3 make good money the rest can close over time. They really don't care at all about doing it to actually give high quality products and service. Few at least.

That's like basically daily in Bangkok. Irony is you never hear anyone complain much there.

As long we can keep buying and smoking weed, I'm fine with any of them. It was pretty relaxed under Prayut too, before you know we would get legal mushrooms next with Anutin lol.

As expected of course, didn't think a second she would still be alive.

The difference is that they can rent it out.

Unlike many people, I would suggest to first do a generic health check and see how much the person does in sports, how much on the phone and what the diet is.

Cannabis abuse is already long defined, because it is new here or in the USA does not mean it is new to us in Netherlands. Aside of that we use and produce a lot of other drugs there freely, so you can be pretty fk sure that we know our stuff there. Do your own research if you wanna know more, not gonna waste on you. And obviously nobody says cannabis is not without risk, the person who did is a fool, same that you defend something while clearly not knowing but doubting others. To even dare and claim cannabis is all good, is utter stupid too, I say this as a daily smoker. Doesn't mean it is a bad thing, or that it can't be legal. If the world should work like that, we can start with banning half of all grocery stores and their sugar drugs.

Obviously, anything that is used to much leads often to abuse, and is for the majority of people a negative thing. I say majority of people, not all people. I smoke weed almost daily since 15 years and run my business without issue, for me it is the alternative to using ritalin, yet I sometimes stop for up to a week, to reset myself. This is not my opinion, this is a fact. If you understand how a magnifying glass works, you understood already. If you have things on your mind, like perhaps a 2 day overstay, and you smoke weed, it is likely you think about this even more + get paranoid. If you have nothing on your mind, you likely enjoy your high, depending on the strain you have, being just relaxed, chill, creative or lazy. If you are depressed and smoke, likely you get more depressed, maybe not in the high, but certainly later on when sober, if not keep to smoke (aka abuse situation). This entire study in the post is nothing new, it was known in Netherlands for decades, same with examples like the ones above. But silly people, like many here, likely will either feel attacked, or support baseless things. When put in perspective it is more or less like deadly variant of covid, in terms of the chance you would develop schizophrenia by smoking weed when perfectly healthy and normal before.

If it was my son I made sure this guy would not die, but suffer and be raped, beaten, the rest of his life, daily or weekly. And after jail, a slow painful death, after a few days of more torture.

You could just go to the other pier, it's like 10 minutes from each other. Anyway, the fast boat to phangan is 2 hours and slow 2.5 hours, not 3 hours. The fast boat from phangan to samui is just 30 minutes too.

I use Kbank app personally but likely when you open your SCB or Bangkok app, you have options to 'pay bills' to then see also the PEA option in that list. Here you can in normally enter the contract number to then see the amount due, and pay if desired. The scan option essentially does the same thing but then automatically, this is the manual way to do it. Not 100% sure if both SCB and Bangkok offer the same, but pretty sure 1 of 2 do.

Just read it now, he gave me some nice advice over the years with visa stuff. RIP.

You talk airlines with business class and then about no time for trains. Obviously the only option is to take private airplane service in that case and that cost a lot. What is the problem sitting 1 hour on the front row seats to BKK anyway, you can take a luxury taxi from the airport to the final destination.

I assume you mean the PEA app? Noticed that exists too. Nice but still better with the mobile banking app, no additional apps needed and also possible for people who rent, the PEA app would likely only work for the actual property owner. Where I live now they still just come once a month reading the meter and calculating by hand (old thai owners) and then tell me the total, it is never much, together with the rent. Many apartments I rented, where you get the bill from reception too, I just add them on LINE or make a upfront deposit for coming bills.

I thought it was already illegal to import cannabis end products to Thailand, but it has to be for sure.

On the electric (and water) bill is a contract number, you can use that number with mobile banking to pay outstanding balances. I always do this when I am gone longer, around the time the bill comes I use Kbank and look on the contract number, the balance shows up, even if it is 2 months together already, no issue to pay it via that way. I think many people don't know it can be easy like this too. You still receive paper bills. It's also useful when renting a place to a tenant, you can see if he paid them.

All they care about is that the finance for now is in order and that there is nice food to eat, and some fun to watch or do. The selfie part is not with all of them so much, only narcistic ones. To be honest I would not want them to be like 'a regular western GF' because then I would simply date a 'western girl'. It is actually nice to not be bothered with all the nonsense from western news and countries here and living quite peaceful, nothing really changes while in the news and past decade they make you think the world ends constantly (climate change, covid, proxy wars).
