SUB LAW.

So no more than the crew compliment of a Chinese sub allowed to ride in the back?

Sounds like a good PLAN.

Apologies, content removed - posted in  wrong thread. 

How generous of the Sri Lankan ex President! 

Now he can enjoy a law-abiding happy ending here, complete with with absolutely no 90 day reports like the rest of us stupid plebs. 

We can tell we're stupid plebs because we get robbed by our home countries -rather than rob them- which would be the perfect solution to fund our lavish retirement in Kalaland. 

If we were smart and generous to the Thai Government just like him, our lives would be amazing! ????????????????

That reminds me of the moment when Kelly Mcgillis asked Tom Cruise in Top Gun if he is a good pilot... 

That was just a ruse to get him into her cockpit. 

Can't be arsed wading thru a  thread bloated with immature incel commentary.

But immigration do clearly use electronic data inputs at every expat touchpoint even though they cling to their love of oversized and overused, stamps, so if one was missing, it can be reconciled electronically. 

With that being said, maybe it's time find another thread to pointlessly bicker on while your beer ice dilutes. ????

No surprises here.

Hasn't this been the positive outcome wherever it has been legalized?

Are there any exceptions - cases where countries have banned it after having legalized it?

NZ were given a referendum. 

The only country in the world so far, who narrowly voted NOT to legalize it.

They have an incredible craft beer, and also world class wine reputation, so it's a real mystery why they would pass up all the well-researched benefits, by a slim  majority. 

That's democracy tho. 

I haven't used since I've been back in NZ, but have seen people do so in public. 

Most jobs also claim they randomly drug test in a "lottery" system. While I agree that adults should use with responsibility, I think this goes too far, and much more impairment reasearch needed vs alcohol, which is well understood. 

I also hear weed now costs MORE than a comparative amount of Meth in NZ! But I don't know how true that claim is either. 

The wonderful craft beer here  costs slightly MORE than imported craft beer does when bought from a bar in Chiang Mai, in  Thailand, I know that's very hard to believe, but this is the crazy downside to a population of just 5 million (BKK alone has at least DOUBLE that!) and NZ stuffers a net greater OUTFLOW of citizens every year.

Despite its' reputation as a paradise on earth.

Now I think I know why!

As a teenager I was gaga for the slightly cross-eyed brunette, Chrissy played by Paula Wilcox, in the British comedy "Man about the House". Imported to the US as "Three's Company".

Fun with a dick called Jane. ????

It will never be controlled.

Until the government control it.

People are using this drug everywhere, that's why she had 30 freaking kilos of it in one delivery!

So where are all the toothless addicted?

The Whermacht defeated Europe and almost took Russia on ya ice, so where were all the addicted troops?

It's used to this day by special ops in certain approved and medically supervised situations. 

Time to wake up and smell the vapour. 

Legalise, tax, control -and win/end the failed drug war.

Simple.

My question is. Why in the world do foreigners travel half way around the world and this is the majority both tourists and expats and they are eating at these places. 7-11, McDonald's , Burger Fling, KFC, Subway. I think if I remember correctly this is Thailand. A constant diet Pad Thai does not count as Thai food.

Just saying, Japanese is insanely good value here compared to the west or Japan.

But to keep As n topic, there are many many quality local burger outlets. 

Think: The Dukes (Chiang Mai & Phuket) or Daniel Thaiger (BKK) the comparitive cost and burger quality make Mick Dee's look like the global garbagefest it is. 

Don't look back and play the regret game, because today (2022) you're as young fit and healthy as you'll ever be!

And tomorrow you're a day closer to returning to star-dust.

Die comfortably broke! You can't take it with you, so use it tonight!

Thailand thinks it can still play off both sides. 

If things get any hotter, and because Xi is on a mission from Mao, things will boil over eventually. 

It will happen sooner if, as is likely, widespread middle class dissent grows at home, he'll need a big distraction to divert their anger.

Then Thailand will have some serious recalibration coming. 

At some point, China being China, will try to strong arm something out of the Generals, it will be outside the scope of the usual easily conceded graft, and having rimmed the dragons cloaca for so long, they will be up <deleted> creek without a paddle. 

God help Thialand then. 

Right now, given they are avowed Royalists, Vietnam era, and  current American allies, what the hell are they thinking playing top gun with China? 

Some arsehat in our building is dumping their dogs <deleted> in the enclosed poolside rain gutters at floor level. 

If we (the other residents) catch them, we'll rub their nose in it!

PSA: Please don't do this to an actual puppy -adult human trash only!????

In Kalaland the correct answer is always: Joe Falang.

May I ask you when was the last time you took this trip for 1200 THB.

 

Afaik now it's more like 1400THB++

 

For example

Okay but B200 difference? 

What's that in real money $5.70 rounded up!

Kind of proves the point that penny pinching in Thailand is not even worth the effort of doing the math!

Dudes are paying business class fares to get here in economy seats these days, then they're getting on a bus ride jet lagged and bone-locked, with goats and chickens tied  on the roof? 

It makes no sense!????

imho it's best to pre-book a private car from one of the many services that are available online. I've done the cheap charlie stuff in the past, and the taxi queue, but there's simply nothing like clearing immi and having some dude with your name on a piece of paper waiting for you at arrivals. 

 

I'm not sure what you mean by Ride-share. are you referring to Grab or Bolt? if so then I'd expect them to be more expensive than a private car plus you're giving 30% of the fare as commission to Grab/Bolt.

 

if you mean a minivan my advice would be just don't do it, those things are evil. 

 

private car should only be B1,200 or so which is ridiculously cheap for a hundred mile trip.

I've done the cheapola thing too, then I started to wing with a youngish hotshot lawyer, and once we shared a leather-ensconsed beer-sipping ride with feel-good rock blasting, there's just no way I'd go back to the ride-hopping baht bus nonsense.

For starters, there's always some aggro with at least one of the bottom-feeder drivers, or you get crammed into a minibus forced to sit with with a smelly dude who looks like an Iranian terrorist being driven by a stressed out quota driven speed freak at the wheel.

A private car may cost the same as tonight's girlfriend, but both are still chump change in Thailand. 

Long live two-week millionaires!????????
