A 3rd world country ? Developing country ? All i see is a backward thinking country that should be at the top of the corruption index. Shameful !

Thai QR Payments by Foreign Visitors Surge 143% Year on Year
From what i see at checkouts, the bottle neck is always people paying on their phones, something always goes wrong or it's slow to connect with the payment server, but, the upside is you can leave your wallet at home and only have your phone on you. Cash or wireless card tap only for me, while i have the choice 🙂

Cannabis Shops Must Become 100% Clinics Under New Thai Law
I would guess there are some big players that have opened multiple shops but from what i saw when low THC growing was encouraged, was pretty much every man, woman and soi dog jumped all over the lax rules to open shops selling high THC weed hoping to make a fortune. Unfortunately for the new shop owners, everybody had the same idea and the market got flooded and competition was fierce.

Thai Airports Tighten Bag Checks Before Holiday Travel
Took the words out of my mouth. A couple of kilos over on checked luggage results in a extra charge, yet a 50kg overweight lump gets a warm welcome. Nothing to do with safety, that's for sure.

Expert Flags Serious Gaps in Thai Forensic Standards
If memory serves me, was this not the same in the red bull case, initial speed calculations from the RTP were below the speed limit, only to be found to be way off when the data was examined by outside experts. That was probably data manipulation rather than inaccurate calculations though.

British Man Jailed for Cannabis Import from Thailand
868 ounces if using 28.8g to an ounce. 576 euros an oz. Around 20 euros a gram. In the UK it's around £10 a gram i believe, i buy ounces like yourself. They always work it out by street value, here it looks like the reported numbers are incorrect.
