One can learn almost anything about any thing with Google Analytics. Wondrous and frightening. The TAT of course will continue to take it's forward projections from magical Monk readings of chicken entrails, and whatever strain of bud the boardroom is served after a long liquid lunch.

Not likely another Mall given Maya is less than a sweaty stroll away, maybe a condo complex? There's a glut all over the city! I can't see a hotel there, not for another ten years anyway. The smartest move would be conversion to a mega multi level parking lot with complimentary non-stop, hop-off shuttles to the clogged Nimman Sois and Moat quartile nearby, partly sponsored by local businesses. I know; far too much farang forward-thinking, and not enough pork for that one to ever see fruition.

Promenada, KSK, "Big Yellow One", and the equally stillborn "Harbour" open air venture up near CMU on the Suthep Road... And what about that "ghost suburb" out by a Thai resort and another Big C type mall, I think it back onto one of the main roads running north? It's blocks and blocks of condos and boutiques the Chinese were meant to buy, but they never came, even in the good times! CM has been full of projects that may never see tenants, it has been thus for over a decade or more. The only sane explanation for such folly has to be washing golden triangle money. I'm sure half of Hong Kong would love to immigrate there, if they could! Thailand would likely welcome them, but China will never let them leave. As it is CM has a glut and there are far worse times dead ahead, sadly.

Moral panic much? A tiny portion of kids will try it, have a bad first sesh, experience paranoia, vomiting, or both, and swear off the devil's lettuce for years -if not for life. Absolutely no harm done... Renegades are gonna do drugs at school regardless of the law in force at any given time. In all of human history no one has died from doing weed -at any age, you can't say that for alcohol, which has killed its share of young teens. And so... Why apply calm logical common sense, Thailand, when you can fret and panic about a nothing burger with CBD dressing? ????????????

Is it hijacking the thread to ask why get an E-visa if the old visa on arrival scheme is still valid for the usual approved nationalities? Never heard of E visa, was it created as part of the Thailand Pass fiasco?

Unlikely, but elsewhere I was mocked with "Have Fun Staying Poor". when I, in my old age, cautioned that this time wasn't any different to bubbles before, any mention of Tulips was met with intense Millennial derision, "OK Boomer!" Yet here we are -again. I suppose I'll be blamed -again, for being a jammy old sod, while they can't get a fair go at life... Oh well. I have "dry powder" in reserve, I'm waiting for sub 10K. When the fear and gloom is at its nadir, I'll get two or three. If it survives; it will likely hit a million within ten years. Ether will do ok too, the rest? Who knows...

A Netherlands study showed THC users to be more cautious (stoned paranoia many will recognise ????) on the roads than sober drivers. I avoid stoned driving because it "harshes the mellow" -and it is illegal! Alcohol creates unwarranted confidence, weed does the opposite. Another reason why it is a better choice of altered state to be in recreationally. As a further fun fact: On THC food tastes better, music is richer, and orgasms deeper too! Can't comment on the morons who will use multiple drugs and drive, but legal or not, these types do all that dumb stuff anyway. Don't they?

Have you tried Googling the issue? Much more likely to be solved there -than here. Be brand and model specific in your search. Chok Dee.

My parents were reformed smokers, Dad reached 68 Ma, 72. They both died from tobacco damage anyway. Her side smoked and died in their mid sixties, Dad's Mother a non smoker, lived to 96 and died a month before he did! I'm 61 don't smoke, but have drunk far too much over the years, though not as bad as many, I can still see my Todger when I look down! I have no idea whether those averages will apply, given tobacco's role in their deaths. I'm still internally healthy, no med regime, though the knees and eyes will need surgery soon.

About time!

Yes, I don't want to rely on anyone for my personal care or hygiene. If I'm sane and functional at 101 great, otherwise, I hope by then lawful euthanasia is an option not just for terminal illness but for serious quality of life decline. If the law's not updated, I will make my own plans anyway, likely pharmaceutical in nature. I hope my missus pre-deceased me, the hardest would be to leave her behind. Another fear is running out of money, but hopefully the rent income and pension will suffice.
