Tourist forget, they are the guests, so respect the dogs' turf. It's their home, we are the intruders. It's not their fault you can speak dog: "Yo dude, can I get some of that sandwich ?" "NO....do you see any cats here. I've been watching this area all day for you and you're not going to throw me a morsel." "Hey, you want stand in front of that door some more, I could use a bit more AC, as I just chased that rat away before you got here" "You're welcome, are those BBQ chips or Xtra spicy?"

Don't think you need to worry about that. Supply & demand will keep them there long after all of us are gone.

That was always the original plan, for medicinal, and to enjoy at home if wanting. I believe the bans are coming into play, as they under estimated the 'appeal & usage' that is being expressed, and wish to nip it early on. Guess they learned from the past, people fail miserably at self monitoring themselves. There is no reason for ganga at learning institutions, or on the job, or the roads when operating any kind of equipment. The only thing silly is, they have to point it out to supposedly responsible people. Find it a bit ironic, people finally get it 'legalize' but now complaining. Guessing some officials are regretting they even went down this road, and didn't keep it script only for medicinal reasons. If not careful, they may just do that.

Search YT, filter time - 1 month ... see vids of.

Drink the wine, keep the bottles.

OP wasn't very specific, and that site repeats the 'graph' I posted above, with 4 versions of. #1 for those with $1 mill in assets + $500k invest in Thai government bonds, foreign direct investment, or Thai property. That's a lot of liquidity to tie up, that could be working for you elsewhere. People don't get to be millionaires, by being that stupid. Here's official version from BOI: https://www.boi.go.th/upload/LTR_62a01c0d2c314.pdf

That's got to be some really old info if the poison AZT is on the list. Quick search and available to Thais, or work permit holders. Very quick search. Also thinking if gals or whoever working in Patts, on 'gold' plan, may have to return to home province where they are registered for treatment/meds.

I'd be surprised if they can't, and think it's just a cost factor.

My millionaire comment was for the Group #1 folks:

I did say 'my' head. Many would not choose my life's choices either. But TBH, I could think of a few better places to base myself, if back in that 1 % bracket.

News Flash .... TIT ... Buddhist don't kill living things for no reason. Many westerners would agree, killing something isn't always the humane way of things. Could the situation be handled better, probably. Some uncommon common sense: ... Educate yourself on dog behavior; aggressive vs excited ... if dogs around, not a good time to open the picnic basket, or show food ... if too excited for your comfort, share food, and back out of area ... NEVER run from or turn back on any dog ... if you think you can't get to a safe area away from dog / surf, go in the surf ... choose your location wisely, first come, first served or have a stick handy. No need to use, they see, they know ... where I'm at, I welcome the soi dogs, as they keep the very aggressive monkeys at bay ???? Happy Chillin'

I've been told not to invest anything in Thailand, not to buy in, only rent, and no long term relationship, just do the P4P, as I can be booted at anytime, with little to no warning. Wisdom expressed by that first barstool prophet 22+ yrs ago, and strangely, I still here it over & over today. 1 - 5 - 10 yr long stay -0- visa of whatever version, if legally acquired, IMHO, you have nothing to fear, except fear itself, as someone said.

Food for thought ... Miss America (Christians) Swimsuit competition ???? Burkinis on sale ...

It's called legal - tolerated - decriminalization, the latter being the important one. So not a waste of time, happily.

For some reason, the expression " SAFE & EFFECTIVE" comes to mind ... ???? Surely all will be explained in the next news-blip. I'm sure they have the ganga - kids - breastfeeding & pregnant women 'trials info' on hand and will release in 75 yrs.

You don't have to 'assume', 10 yrs visa (0-X) is priced at ฿10k per 5 yr stretch, initial + extension, so ฿20k total at present time. It's called the internet people. Cost of visa shouldn't be an issue for anyone. Qualifying may be a different story. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/content/80939-non-–-immigrant-visa-“o-x”-(long-stay-10-years)?page=5d68c88b15e39c160c0081e5&menu=5d68c88b15e39c160c0081e6

That can be said about any retail product, within reason. Many don't have a 'green thumb', or space & time to devote to even a small garden. I built my own drones until they started making them better & cheaper. Retail is always for convenience or if you can't do better or cheaper. Free delivery is a nice touch, as if it takes you so long to get to a 'cheaper' vendor, with added petrol cost, then it could easily balance out to 'why bother'.

Don't know what the question was that they answered to, but since he hasn't been charged with anything, it reassuring at least 42% have some idea of the rule of law. I do agree with you, sad only 42% think he shouldn't be punished, since not charged with anything.

650cc is far from small/cut thru traffic size. Be knockin' on a few mirrors.

Nah ... humans are definitely worse. Agree, though not that tourist should have to worry, but a wagging tail on barking dog, usually not a threat, and running away, is probably the worse think one can do.

Good luck with that one ???? Don't care either way of any outcomes. Just the assumptions ...is a bit silly. I believe MLK Jr was spot on - "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

My mother worked for him at original casino in NJ, USA, and thought he was best boss she ever had. And like me, takes a long time to warm up to anyone. I'll take her word for it.

So I guess glue, yaba, alcohol are all taking a back seat now, since Ganga is the new 'distraction' of the day. Well done MSM ????

For the one visa, how would an agent show 2 yrs of income. If they need to use an agent, then that visa really isn't for them. Stick with the < 10k agent for cost & simplicity.
