I thought medical school and exams were the means to determine if someone has the smarts to be a doctor..

That was certainly the case years ago and it was fail one element and you had to retake all exams.

Now they'll let anyone have a go.

I met a french guy in Pattaya talking about fake rolexes. He said that the guy usually parked his sportcar outside one of the clubs on walking street.

Yes, he always seems to park at a jaunty angle...

Thank Buddha it was ladyboys fighting. I hate to see actual ladies fighting.

(Unless it's in mud of course).

Thai drivers have a free pass for traffic and parking laws.  They just put on the emergency blinkers and all possibly relevant laws are suspended.  

No, not 'emergency blinkers', they are 'park anywhere lights'.

The law says not in public, a bar is private property so It's not breaking the law. And I'll only do it if the bar has no customers, easy to find in Pattaya.

I never drink or smoke and drive, if you do it's very foolish and dangerous for everyone else on the road.

Do you understand the difference between private property which you control (your own house) and private property which is open to the public (bars, restaurants, 7/11s, shopping centres, etc)?

The article states: "consuming cannabis in public spaces is a major taboo, enforced with the risk of fines or imprisonment." A bar may be private property, however it is a public space.

From your assurance that you only consume cannabis "if the bar has no customers", does that mean you immediately stop when a second customer arrives?

Following your logic I will start a similar practice. After having ten beers I will only drive on roads with no other vehicles.

I've smoked weed in bars after asking permission, it's private property. 

So the bar gives you permission to break the law? Do you ask the other customers in the bar if they mind the stink?

I'll start asking the bar for permission to drive myself home after drinking ten beers. It's a private car.

I have found a location ideal for (brief) meditation...

So, after 20+ years they are finally going to enforce no smoking laws in bars and restaurants? Or will the carcinogenic stink of tobacco and cannabis continue?

The lack of action in the ‘Boss’ Vorayuth affair undermines confidence in the Rule of Law in Thailand...

What 'Rule of Law'? After 20+ years the police can't even be bothered to enforce no smoking laws.

bar tab of 9,470 baht

Only 9,470? Must have been a steady night out.

I agree with your comment but no one forces you to go into a bar until the government change the law and ban smoking in public areas you will have to put up with it by the way I don’t indulge in any form of drugs unless coffee is classed as one !

Smoking indoors was made illegal twenty years ago. Five years ago it was made Illegal to smoke in the street near to a doorway.

I have no problem with people smoking cannabis, or any other legal substances.
However, because the existing legislation on smoking is ignored by selfish dimwit smokers, I strongly object to being forced to endure second hand cannabis smoke (and second hand tobacco smoke) when I visit a bar.
