When U transfer money from your account to hers using both your phones bank apps. Works a treat. No need to carry dirty wads of loseable cash.

Well it probably has the highest number of handsum walking ATMs with the Phillipines a close second. So... Ker-chinggg!

Well for one thing, their aiming skill is rubbish. How can you miss a house? ????

Almost nobody qualifies for the 10 year visa. Ironically, those that do, could make better money, or afford better visas elsewhere. It will be watered down greatly, or be granted with a few wads of green pushed at the right people. I'm thinking the tedious annual hoops of the marriage visa is the best future option right now. Presently I'm not in country long enough to warrant more than tourist extensions, so I get the best of both worlds. Their new ten year visa has far stricter requirements than many more desirable destinations place on their similar options, so I wish them Chok Dee getting many takers!

There will definitely be some tidy profit made selling good bud and by-products to discerning tourists, but for the most part, weed will be as cheap as rice in most Thai markets. Unlike rice, many locals will grow their own because each strain has specific qualities, and even back in the day, there were grower videos in Thai on you tube that were very good advice. So home grower education will explode. The Thai people know a thing or two about getting the best from the land as it is. In so many ways, decriminalising weed will be seen as a watershed moment in Thai history. I can't think of a single better move to boost tourism, than promoting the stoner culture right now. There will be challenges ahead, it's not all wine and roses, but, there's almost no other single thing they could do to recover the tourist economy, than go easy on tourists who come here to enjoy good weed and everything that goes along with it, in peace.

No, it's important that misinformation in this case, is countered with science. It's also important that we users are mature in recognising everything has a down side, and weed is not for everyone. Having said that, I find the hysteria around genuine mental health risks hilarious. If I came to learn that cannabis was detrimental to my mental health, well I would simply not partake! They go off as if these unfortunate people are being held down and force fed the drug! Same with kids, just keep it out of their hands, punish severely anyone who supplies minors, and don't panic if a child consumes active THC edibles they may throw up, they may be distressed at feeling stoned, but they will not become addicted or otherwise harmed by an accidental intake (raw weed is inactive one will never get stoned no matter how much is consumed). Just RELAAAAXXXX the sky isn't going to fall.

Seriously, why do people who have never tried weed always seem to open their flap and dictate mostly complete ignorant nonsense to third-party others? Why are they so paranoid about a plant that has never in all of human history killed anyone, not even an unsuspecting child eating a pound of THC edibles? Just freaking chill. Go and TRY some!

Great Scott! How many do you need? One season growing ten fertile girls will keep you in bud for years if you do it right! ???? I hope the locals are diligent in destroying males, that's now the biggest existential threat to the good stuff.

Oh my, wifey, who already has her growers permit, will be in her element! Now she can use the sunniest part of the garden, that was always open to nosey outsiders. Of course back then, she only grew innocent flowers, remembrance Poppies to sell in November. ????

The governor bought them all a market lunch out of his own pocket as a humane gesture of thanks, it was all over Thai Twitter, but not of course, mentioned in the elite-owned press sites regurgitated on here, who hate his guts.

.... Because you might stop being a miserable drug-warrior party-pooper, or a beer-chugging old-schooler, who smells the weed on the winds of change, and realises weed is now potentially much cheaper than booze in Thailand and is a better social lubricant (especially in the sack) than booze is too! How could you possibly abandon the catpee tang of Chang? Think of the billionaire beer barons! ???? (They prefer non-liquid coke!)

Because the business of Government is not a family enterprise, and leads to dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Mind you, he's in good company, nepotism is rife in: Singapore, The Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Russia, India, the good old USA, Britain, and many more, only they're not dim enough to stand in front of the press and actually justify it!

If this extension is still a valid option, any visa or entry permit, can be extended using this method. In November my annual retirement extension expired. I realised I could live on in Thailand without it, just by periodically returning to any of the three countries I have right of residence, and return by air as a tourist, without the expensive pain in the ain that the annual extension has always been, there's zero benefits to it anyway, unless Thailand is your only option in old age. But aaaanyway, I switched to a Covid extension to buy time to leave after new years, when I was booked into Quarantine in my home country. The decision period itself is also valuable. Even if they decline, you've bought yourself extra time while they review your application.

How can you justify a further extension if your home country has reopened to residents? I have no beef with "Covid Expats" they helped the economy, did the right thing, and made the system work for them! I'm just amazed this is still a valid extension. Even New Zealand has been open for months now.

That's Count Spatulas property. Legend has it he moved to LoS at the height of the Amazon digital nomad craze, only to discover 64 billion other geniuses had the same dream of quick riches selling spatulas. He died broke from alcohol poisoning and was bitten by a Chinese bat that escaped from a zero baht tour bus, as his truck passed on the way to the morgue, thus turning him into a Vampire. Since there are very few virgins to prey on in Pattaya, he survives on Soi 6 Bloody Mary's, which gets him hammered most nights, and so he forgets where he parks his coffin frequently.

There are light fabric jeans and comfy stretch chinos out there, Wrangler do both, I have them. In Chiang Mai, the evenings are often mild enough to wear trousers and socks and I have always worn them after sunset in Bangkok too, but not in beach areas as a rule. Benefits are, mosquito protection, and even if you rent your company, this is Thailand, and you're judged by looks, and looks effect rapport, which effects ones overall quality of the experience. If you don't subscribe to that philosophy, you'll never know anyway, so to each their own. I don't care if others wear wife-beaters or girly 3/4 pants either, I'm too busy eying up their evening rental to care about their <deleted> taste in kit!

It rarely impacts the elites. When it does, it's usually when they, or one of their coked-up kids, cocooned in luxurious safety, wipes out some hapless yokel, but that's all sorted out in the usual "whatever it takes" way, and that is why nothing is done.

Gotta love this forum. Geezers getting into fights over a fight another geezer got into. ???? Violence is never the answer, unless your opponent sports a man-bun.

What was the famed Nixon comment about a similar Central American situation? "He may be a SOB but he's our SOB!" I was more interested in the U Tapao history to be honest. One time in an earlier life, I was one of the crew on a QF Jumbo out of Frankfurt, a storm over DMK forced a diversion and we landed and refueled in U Tapao before flying back to DMK a few hours later. We opened the doors on the windward side of the aircraft with safety straps, and the fragrant sea breeze had the tired pax sigh with delight as one! Back then, Jumbos carried a video/DVD on how to refuel them for the use of untrained ground crews in exactly these situations. It was all visually represented so no language required to understand it.

He also bought the prisoners each a lunch from the market. It was all over Thai Twitter yesterday. But the Salim run news media don't want you to know that. He's a genuinely good man, Thailand need more of him desperately.

Nothing new in a big city, the sewer "fatbergs" of London and New York have made headlines for years. Pity it can't all be processed into some sort of fuel on the cheap though.

The administrator has received messages from many passengers on the BTS Skytrain page about people with long hair or hair tied in a ponytail whose ends accidently move back and forth and hit the face of other passengers." So what are they doing during their ride to cause that, are they pole-dancing? Actually, if they set a car aside... The dancers could ride free, and I'd pay a premium for that!

In its message posted on Facebook the Skytrain operator said, “To build a good society be considerate when travelling … be careful of hair ends (when the train is crowded with passengers). I'll be sure to wax before I next step aboard in a Borat-branded mankini.

Here's an idea, get the animals re-distributed in remote habitat sanctuaries where they belong, far from tourists, and wean them off reliance on humans for food.

Cheer up, Deli. You can always change your handle to 'Delhi'. More Indian restaurants is good news for many Indians and Brits alike, and I'd rather have a new wave of punters who bargain adult entertainment prices down, than the stupidity of certain other groups who start bargaining at THB 4K because they're trying to gain "face" with a provider they'll never see again!
