Let me start with this - I am NOT slamming Thai cuisine. If you are considering the subtleties of fine wine then trying to compare them with Thai food, you're trying to mix apples and oranges. Thai food is simple fare, especially when smothered in dried chile and sugar. Pretty much anything that will put out the fire in your mouth will be a fine pairing.

More and more these articles read like a 12 year old school newspaper editor's wet dream.

EXACTLY!!! I have struggled for WEEKS to find the red filters for the GoPro Hero 12 underwater case, both online and personally traveling to all the places in Pattaya where folks ASSURED me they would carry them. They're not available in Thailand, full stop. I ordered them from Amazon US, they got here in about 2 weeks. NOW they want to place an additional tax on things you can't get in LOS? I believe that's called extortion.

No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to this site. You are more than welcome to go away.

Sadly enough, yes. Chanthaburi is a quaint but paranoid community.

Milk recently went up to 99.75. C'mon already, even it up to 100. Won't help or hurt sales, it will just make life easier for all. Down with the satang!

Maybe weed DOES need to be made illegal here. See what happens when it's not?

"UNCURED WEINERS MADE WITH TURKEY, CHICKEN & PORK" Yeah . . . no, I think I'll pass.

And HERE is the actual truth:

In this age of AI generated "facts." it's impossible to find sources of facts that I trust any more. All I know is what I saw. I forget the year, but it was a sunny day in San Jose, CA, 1 week before Easter. I'm out riding my pushbike, clear blue skies, then one after the other, planes started laying out what we call chemtrails. In a matter of a couple of hours the sky was white, not a bit of sunshine getting through.

Some years back, there was some exceptionally heavy-handed moderation on ThaiVisa which resulted in a large number of members migrating to Thaiger. There was even a TV mod who was removed for actively stalking members and handing out ridiculous time-outs because of his personal political beliefs. At that time, I moved to Thaiger and became a mod. I was happy to see the direction it went. Then the same heavy-handed garbage seeped into Thaiger. I left (as far as I know, I still have an account there but want nothing to do with that site). And NOW I hear they're joining forces here at AN? Hmmm . . .

Like I said, just looking for an argument.

Po TAY to, po TAH to. C'mon, you're just being pedantic and looking for an argument. You know exactly what I meant. 😒

Teasing and arguing is ok, but far too many members get downright nasty. As I posted above, my "ignore" list is growing, and I really don't like putting members in there.

Not sure what's going on, but I've started adding people to my ignore list like never before. Is this an influx of rude folks from Thaiger now that it's merged with AN?

Honestly, are there really any farangs operating weed shops, or is this just another weak attempt at staying in the headlines?

Being an avid cyclist myself, I would NEVER NEVER NEVER go anywhere NEAR that intersection. That dude is lucky he didn't get his head squashed. There us a good chance the bus driver didn't even know he hit the cyclist.

I have to weigh in here. After a decades-long hiatus, I bought a gram, asking the seller for the mildest they had in their shop. When I had some time to kill in the safety of my home, I took two hits - it kicked my ASS!!! This is not your grandparent's weed at all. I can understand the need to regulate it. It wasn't quite a hallucinogen, but it was damned close!

AI trying to create a tempest in a teacup.

In nearly 20 years here in LOS, never seen anyone clamouring (except maybe in Walking Street).

Opened fine for me. It was all in Thai with only two options, clicking left option took me to what looked like a registration page. Clicking right option took me to some generic page. Chrome, Win 10, two adblockers (don't tell AN!).

These news articles are becoming unreadable. Thanks AI. Not.

No WAY in hell could this article have been written by a human.

I've seen many reports of immigration cracking down on ED Visas. IF you DO go that route, be damned sure to go to classes and learn the language.

Shame on you. Your arrogance is staggering.
