  1. It is, and has always been a "medicinal herb" just because the Yanks made it illegal in 1935, mainly to screw with the main users by far, "Black Jazz Musicians" . Then they made "Refer Madness", (listed it as like Schedule one = Heroin etc) and other mega propaganda, and then "forced" other countries to follow. The Great Satan strikes again, war mongering Yanks as usual, like a World Cancer really ; ( IH
  2. "Money goes to where it is treated best". If Siam suddenly started to tax all transfers as income, the money will move to Cambodia, Phillipines, Vietnam, Vanuatu etc etc Rich expats are the "premium visitors" and also spend the most. They will not kill their "cash cows" and they will make sure they don't lose them and their $$. Like the chances of Cannabis being made illegal again, I think the chances are zero.
  3. You mean you want an Interpreter, a translator is now Google Translate, but a truly bi-lingual interpreter is very different, human (for now) and much more expensive. Good luck, make sure the person has one native speaker parent of each language. Cheers, Ian H
  4. #1 of 2023 by far = can you post better? Funnier? Good old Aussie anti-woke fun. Not much else I miss. Cheers, Ian H
  5. hi All, I just got back from Chiang Mai and the costs were half of Phuket. One example, taxi from Airport to YMCA Hotel about 25 min = 150 baht. In Phuket I would cost 150 baht to go 3km. Hotels/food etc = half Ian H
  6. In Phuket Hi All, this guy is the rep here for Elite Visa (HQ in BKK) and does all other law and accounting. Family affair and good so far, good for Visas to Will and buying property, see.... https://phuketlegalfirm.com/ drop my name if you dare ; ) Ian H
  7. At 40yo I would do the extra work, at 55yo+ I would start really living NOW!! IH
  8. Same Answer as "anybody know a good lawyer" The Elite Visa agent in Phuket (HQ is in BKK) also does other work and is an accountant etc See Khun Toto at https://phuketlegalfirm.com/ I used him for my Elite Visa, buy condos and my Will. It's a family affair and have been faultless so far. You can drop my name Ian H from Australia, I sure it will mean an awful lot (;-/)
  9. What reason did they give for him taking his name off the lease?? IH
  10. The Elite Visa agent in Phuket (HQ is in BKK) also does other work and is an accountant etc See Khun Toto at https://phuketlegalfirm.com/ I used him for my Elite Visa, buy condos and my Will. It's a family affair and have been faultless so far. IH
  11. I have had my lenses replaced at Phuket Bangkok Hospital https://www.phukethospital.com/doctor/captain-wiriyaluppa/ Cost was about A$11,000 the same price as in Australia. Great job, 63yo and see like I am 25yo!! Highly recommended IH
  12. Ahh, Yanks, always "winning the hearts and minds" of their hosts wherever they go, ha ha ha 555 Warriors, and Americas best, what a load of propaganda BS. Not all of us are blind and uninformed. Watch more of Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson would be my advice...
  13. Other than pictures of food, I could not care less about this. I reckon I represent 80% of readers. Am I wrong? IH
  14. Robinsons (Thalang or Patong) , bought size 11 shoes there today. Try that at Big C or Tesco etc Lazada would have to be risky. IH
  15. At 62yo I had my lenses replaced by https://www.phukethospital.com/doctor/captain-wiriyaluppa/ now I see better than a 25yo and with no glasses! Best thing I ever did, just a tad expensive IH
  16. You are joking of course, just for one thing, they all had 3 months pay (US$3,000?) in their pockets and I was earning A$80 per week. You really should shut the Fcku up!!
  17. Sure, if legal will have to be safer than the average driver by a lot. They will be super safe, boring, but safe. IH
  18. I come from Perth and in my 20s America had a program called "Dial a Sailor" (multiple times/visits) a dating system for Yanks and Perth women. https://tonyseed.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/liberty-visits-return-of-the-dial-a-sailor-program/ For 1,000s of years, to invade a place and have anonymous (for the woman) sex with the local women was an act of War, yet 2,000 Yanks in uniform would regularly get off their ship, with 3 months pay in their pockets, horney and obviously Fcking "our" women. We (men born in said location) did not like it and wanted to plan "bash a random Yank" nights. Plus all those caught by our Aussie sailors. Put it this way, every time a Yank ship left, a few were left behind coz in Perth hospitals. It was a very very bad thing to do to an ALLY (enemy is fair game apparently) https://tonyseed.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/liberty-visits-return-of-the-dial-a-sailor-program/ It proved to us that Aus is just a lapdog of Uncle Sam and if you even threaten Yank bases, the CIA will remove you, as they did to Whitlam. Anyway, this was a long way to say I understand why this Farang (below) was attacked "unprovoced", I'm pretty sure motive below was really coz the guys are thinking "fkucing fat stinking farangs, having sex with all our most beautiful women just coz they were born in a rich country". This is no doubt how many young men must feel, resentful, it would be totally un-natural and against evolution if they were happy about Yanks "breeding with their most beautiful women." and we can't compete financially etc This attached below was my last girfriend (for 4yrs, I'm 63yo), I could see the envy in many mens/boys/lesbians eyes, as is natural I think. I still resent the fact that not one Yank Admiral (from Westpoint or some <deleted> thing) did not think "hey, 2,000 of our horney soldiers will disembark in Perth, I wonder how us setting up a "dating site for Yank sailors and Perth girls will go down with the local men, our supposed Allies?" - Yank Admiral = "they are not from the Good ol USA, so (literally) screw them" See above to explain to this attack below... https://aseannow.com/topic/1310714-foreign-tourist-attacked-by-hostile-youngsters-in-pattaya/
  19. If you can't find it here, you are being too pedantic https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/coffee-bean/ "Could there BE any more choice?" --Mathew Perry RIP IH
  20. Like all alcoholics/addicts I have the Gene CHRM2, which before the 12 steps were discovered (AA) was almost always fatal. Since 1939 if lucky and you found the 12 steps, one can have an "interesting" and "exciting to a degree" life, but never an easy life, always very difficult coz family probably Alcoholic too. With those Steps I have had a brilliant life, I'm now 63yo happy, joyous, free, healthy wealthy and wiser. Without those Steps AA/NA, certainly dead at 37yo https://aa.org.au/new-to-aa/what-is-aa/ IH
  21. They all copied Yul Brynner, he did it first and best!! https://www.google.com/search?q=Yul+Brenner IH
  22. If money is not a concern, the very best is at Bumrungrad Hospital in BKK IH
