  1. NO!!! Just order an Ardent FX and take the guess work out of decarbing and infusing. Plug in play. I have a 220volt for Thailand and a 110 volt for the US. The oven method is not reliable and is not precise. The Ardent FX is electronic controlled and extremely precise and to achieve results anything greater than this is gonna be crazy expensive commercial equipment. An Ardent FX results in activating 97% to 100% decarb - you will NEVER get that with some home method. The temp must be maintain precisely and residential ovens and thermometers can't achieve that level of precise activation. No need to dry store bought weed, no need to grind it either. Just dump it in the Ardent, press A1 for THC and wait for the light to turn green. About 2 hours total to heat up, activate, then cool back down. AFter that, you can consume the weed or add your fav infusion and press the infuse button. Same process, heat up, infuse, cool down. I use the silicone sleeve when infusing, and without the sleeve when decarbing. I use virgin organic coconut oil for my infusions, but butter works great too if you're baking with it. I get my coconut oil from Big C https://ardentcannabis.com My two FX models cost about $300 USD / 10k THB. Worth every bit of money it costs. Dishwasher safe, and I've put my US FX thru the dishwasher many times. But if you use the silicone sleeve for infusing, I don't wash the FX, only the sleeve. I've had the 110 volt FX for almost 4 years, and the 220 volt about 2 years. If you're a smoker, and really wanna get too high...ingest some infused oil, wait for the effect about 1/2 to 1 hour, then take your hits for a really stoned high. If you've ever tried RSO, and used a little too much you'll know the feeling. Too high for me, and I haven't took a puff in over a year. Nothing but infused coconut oil. I haven't made gummies in two years since moving to Thailand. I laugh at the stupid/uneducated that believe they can consume raw cannabis bud or leaf and get a buzz or any effect at alll. BS, it's all in your head cause raw cannabis hasn't been activated. Enjoy your oven method and the under or over activation results. 555555
  2. Cars with excessive features....in Thailand? Geez...they're already stripped of most safety features and pollution control. Shade tree grease monkeys that work on cars, cheaper to disconnect some features than it is to maintain or repair them.
  3. he Yes...and just wait for the casinos to open in a few years. Crime and gansters, organized crime will follow, or probably grow even before the first casino opens. There's no enforcement now even for petty issues like bad driving, speeding, expired registration, motorbikes unsafe, no helmets, etc, etc. Zero enforcement and a green light for crime when casinos are here.
  4. Problems with US banks / accounts?? Maybe it's you that has the problem. If you have difficulty opening a bank account or applying for a new CC, it's you, not the bank or the lender....you, your problem. If you're trying to open a bank account or apply for a CC while you are in a foreign country....it's your lack of understanding common business practices and maybe lacking common sense and piss poor planning. If this fits you, then I'll put some things on FB marketplace to sell you. After you transfer the money to me, I'll ship the items to you right away! A few weeks ago (Sep '24), I opened new checking and savings accounts with a high rated and exclusive banking institution. that I've done biz with since '94. I did this here in Thailand, no phone calls, just my laptop. It was simple to complete online and then I transferred/deposited about 2000 THB / $50 to each account. A week later, I wired a large deposit using Swift from my BK Bank to my new US Bank account. It was almost instant and the next morning it was there when I checked online. Using Swift to transfer to the US was my only reason for opening a new chk/sav account with this bank that I've used for other account types for a 30 years. Not every US bank accept Swift or foreign currency transfers. If you're having problems, you may be someone that didn't have smart plans or any strategy and arrived in Thailand with ONE single debit card/ATM card, and probably one CC, or maybe no CC at all. You can read those sob stories on social media when someone can't access their bank or their money back in their home country. When I moved here several years ago, I arrived with 3 debit/ATM cards and 3 CC. The same 3 banks and cards I've had for 30+ years. I have no trouble keeping these accounts and cards and living here in in Thai. For those from other non-US countries...I feel grateful and blessed when I read about your woes and problems because you don't have the same freedom and liberties.
  5. No DECARB? Unless you decarb the flower/cannabis plant...you're just blowing smoke up someone's arse. If you grind raw flower/bud/or any part of the plant and mix it with anything and then consume it....you ain't getting chyte. Decarb is short for Decarboxylation. If I missed the part about decarbing your cannabis, I apologize to anyone that did include this most important step in edible cannabis. If you don't know what decarb is - go school yourself before you try to explain how to consume/eat cannabis or any infused oil/butter or whatever. You are clueless.
  6. Go back to your country if you can't afford to live here, no matter what country you're from. Too many paupers that make bad life decisions to come to a county without sufficient funds to support themselves, AND don't have an adequate emergency fund. Typical foreigner with only one single debit card, no CCs, small pension, etc, etc, and no plan before they ever decided to live here.
  7. Try Fascino. They are about half price of BK Hospital. You need a prescription from a doctor.
  8. I agree, time to see a Urologist. Ditropan Tabs 5mg 2x daily is often prescribed for this condition - overactive bladder. Generic name: Oxybutynin Chloride Tabs A digital exam can usually eliminate if the cause is an enlarged prostate or something else. I suggest go see a real urologist...not a clinic doctor.
  9. As for your golden goose or missing me questions, NO and WFC's. I listed my top reasons and this proposed BS headache is the final straw. But regarding finances, take this simple example. 850k in Thai bank vs same amount in a CD only earning 4 % for the previous 24 months in my country. I'd have about 70k THB more today. I'm sure Thailand for some, is overwhelming a better option than the chyte hole where they are from...but not for me. My top 3 reasons is clean air, water and safety, with a slew of other crap to deal with here. The proposed tax, would unlikely impact me, and if it did likely only a small amount. And that is a good enough reason with all the other crap in this country.
  10. Less than a month and I'm out. F this crap and all the snowflakes. If you leave too, start thinking now how to move your money OUT of a Thai bank. Wise doesn't do that. Dee money sucks, and many are still waiting for their transfer to process several weeks after initiating the transfer. WU fee is ok, but their rate sucks. Swift transfer may be the best option. Plan now, if you have 800k or more to move out. It's not just the new tax law, but it will be the last nail in the coffin and I'm not waiting around to find out. Even if it doesn't go thru, I've had it here to the point of deciding to go. Insanity...doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I see better options that have clean air, safer to drive/travel/live, and equally affordable. Less than a month, and counting!
  11. Are you looking to get high/stoned, or you want a high CBD with minimal THC? If you only want CBD weed, I doubt you'll find it in Thailand and I never saw it. However, you can decarb weed, specifically to result in CBD, and mostly eliminated THC. But the end product is not for smoking. The result is ready for ingestion, grind it up and sprinkle on food, or infuse it with coconut oil - but only cold pressed organic virgin coconut oil. Big C has this type of coconut oil. Or, you could infuse it with butter. To do this without the correct equipment, would be very difficult because of the precise temperature required to decarb for CBD or THC. Ardent makes a device (available in 110v or 220v. Set you back about $300, maybe a lil more as I have not bought one in a couple of years. Easy, very easy. Put your weed in, select decarb THC or CBD and wait until it finishes, about 2 hours later. Next, is the infusion, same process for either THC or CBD. I doubt anyone using any method at home (oven, etc) will ever get any good results. No waste, the decarb process results in upper high 98% efficiency. There's other devices similar to Ardent, but my experience is only with Ardent model FX. DECARBOXYLATION Check this out on the Ardent site: ardentcannabis . com
  12. Beep your horn the next time a driver in front of you is waiting for a green light and doesn't move quickly when it turns green. Hell, might even get shot.
  13. Snowflake alert.....mommy, I got my feelings hurt.
  14. "Pristine" what a friggin joke. Anyone that that thinks any mainland beach is pristine has been living in. chit-hole under a rock all their life.
  15. If you want to win a knife fight, don't get in one.
  16. They gotta make up the loss somewhere, cause their routes to China will end in October because of Russian airpspace.
  17. Where's the beef? I don't see any actions other than a news release.
  18. Confusing to read and understand. Easier to say dude on motorbike sped thru red light and crashed into a taxi. Also, "bumped" into a taxi ain't gonna make much damage. Bumping into something implies slower motion. Maybe it was just lost in translation.
  19. A lot of them cheap charlies, flying on a crappy carrier with the best fares...you get what you pay for. And, WTF is a curfew for the aircraft maintenance personnel? Not in the budget to pay OT, or more than one shift?
  20. Transferred today, and a first...it said next Tuesday. A friggin week. Always < 3 days until this transfer.
  21. A better question is for all the 'mates' from UK or Oz - ask them anything about Trump. I cannot name a single leader of another country, must less know as much about that leader as non-US citizens here in LOS. seem to think they know about Trump. So bitter and angry...but I always believe it's really envy and jealousy.
  22. No, but when Trump finishes the wall on the souther border they should name the wall after J. B. The irony...
  23. There's bad apples in all walks of life. Some do a better job than others, some are corrupt. Here, I think the same about RTP. But aside from the corruption, there is zero police presence on the highways. All those grown humans driving like a fu kin idiot have no concern because there are no cops out patrolling the roads, and except for the Highway police that don't seem to do anything except escort Chinese tour busses, the rest aren't gonna pursue any motorist with a tiny scooter bike. I don't go in the city centers, the 'gut' in some places, but all I ever see is them showing up after something happens. Oh...I gotta mention about the police checks. I guess that's valuable in some sense, but there isn't any deterrence.
