I think its great that local netizens have the sensitivity to be offended by acts nobody actually saw As for this, given that we are talking about Pattaya, it is pure comedy gold.

Its not about the police work, its the media promoting an anti-marijuana narrative

Mayhap, but in my direct experience weed only lightly takes the edge off a meth high, it does not exacerbate it. To be clear I do not actually like meth, and have not made it a habit, but I have experimented with a wide range of substances over the years, because, well, because I could. I'd love to hear about your first-hand knowledge on the subject.

indeed, every day for years I have woken up and said to myself, "I hope today they start arbitrarily revoking visas and deporting people without due process."

when someone I know is not where they are expected, the police are the very last of a long list of potential actions

from the Thai Examiner article:

This one is a twofer -- managed to get foreigners are all murdering criminals and marijuana is the devil's lettuce all into one story. happy days

Its part of the crackdown on misbehaving foreigners. they have a clear mandate, to make the busts and feed the story to the media. It's highly unlikely he was given the option to pay to walk away. That's only an option when there isn't a more public agenda.

hardly indicative of the entire population. seems you have married into quality

in which case the weed is irrealvent

but publishing that he was high on meth highlights a way bigger problem and doesn't fit with the anti-marijuana narrative conservatives are pushing.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Are you blind to the greater context? how can you not see that the media is working overtime to normalize anti-foreign sentiment and it is not a matter of "I am a good, law-abiding boy and my mommy loves me." How are you not aware of a different flavor of scrutiny as you go about your day-to-day business? The Phuket govt has already admitted categorically that it is engaged in a crackdown specifically targeting foreigners How can you not see that the policies implemented by a Thaksin-led government are already negatively affecting you? Im not saying you should be paranoid or afraid but ffs, be aware.

I'm aware of the context and I'm not offended, I'm disgusted. I'm also unsure why it is so important to you that we all know you can still get it up.

because its a reasonable suggestion. if she wants him to sign she should give up the ring.

I can't even fathom feeling the need to share this here.

<deleted>faced early, i reckon.

they hit you up on your next ride

they do. you get deducted if you have a card on file or you get stung on your next ride with the cancellation charge

actually not so much. house and techno sure, EDM not so much except in the most commercial of environments.

it was much more Thai last time I seriously went out there, It has been a while

i must admit i thought the same thing. even mental images can be difficult to unsee

tell us more about this garbage music? Could it be possible that we have codgers on this thread spanning multiple generations? late 90's early 2000's Kahosan was for picking up nubile young traveler, girls taking em back to the house offering them a hot bath/shower and a night of air con. lovely

nor will you be missed, youth is for the young

Congratulations, you are a codger. Other than that, I really don't see how this is much different than it ever was. The last time I hit Khao San freshly post-COVID, I found it dull and depressing with very little going on. Good to hear it's making a comeback. As for the music, it has always been lowest common denominator <deleted>,

Lithuim would make more sense if not prohibited by cost
