Right the first link on Google about 'drinking culture in Oz': "There are a few countries around the world that have a reputation of loving to drink. Ireland is one of them. Russia is another. And with their Foster’s beer, Australia is another. (...) But overall, the drinking culture in Australia does tend to be stronger than it is in other countries." - Besides, you started it, making fun of my comment, that I couldn't buy a bottle of beer, while cannabis was easily available. Wonder, if it is the same in Oz, but I doubt it. Mind you, I don't care, whether you consume 3g or 3kg of marijuana, but I still find it odd that, at the same time, I cannot buy some beer, because it's afternoon...

And it says  "But overall, the 'drinking culture' in Australia does tend to be stronger than it is in other countries."

The words 'drinking culture' in no way imply's binge drinking. It just means they drink a tad more beer, nothing about binge drinking.

Then there's this...

 

Chronic pot smokers never amount to anything in life. How can you function at the best of your capacity while high af?

 

The old psa about living in the parents basement very true.

 

The only productive people I've ever met who were habitual smokers were growers.

I recon you need to get out of your cave and meet more people then.

What an completely stupid and closed minded thing to say.

And the 'old psa' about living in parents basement is just as stupid. That is purely an American thing, and I think has a lot of (American) urban myth attached to it.

I'm not from Oz, where binge-drinking is the norm... ????

I would like to suggest binge drinking occurs in many country's. No need to point the bone at Oz mate.

And seeing as you state you are not from Oz, what makes you qualified to say it is the norm there.

At the same time, another, thirsty foreigner, all grown-up and also in Bangkok, couldn't buy a bottle of a golden-coloured liquid, let's simply call it "beer", because it was only 4:30 in the afternoon... Amazing Thailand! ????

Cool, one less potential drunk on the roads (until 4:30)

 Trousers , too hot for Thailand ; I wear always shorts and T-shirts, except for my embassy and immigration

I have found T-shirts ( from Lazada, made in China ) excellent for this climate ( I bought 15 of them ) 

Anything 'microfiber' = quick dry stuff is good for this climate.

Come on stop being a big Wagga.

could be any number of legitimate reasons she felt bad.

All may have nothing to do with ganja 

Correct, and I made no mention of it being any particular reason she 'might' have felt crook, just IMO, the report that it was caused by 420 is BS. But as was previously pointed out, it 'may' have been something (nasty) that tiny, tiny piece of grass had been subject to before being included in her very expensive soup. Doubt it though.

I still say it is BS to try and stir up trouble.

I've had the experience of getting a good driver in Bangkok and getting his phone number and tipping him up so he responds. One time, he took me out to an amulet market out in the burbs. We took a holy man out to Burger King.

 

In Mexico, you have to be careful that your new best friend driver doesn't become your burglar up the road. Which is my second question: how do you vet people? How do you hide your wealth? How much notice does a 170K person draw from the locals? Should I downgrade to a 30K apartment to avoid problems? 

** "How do you hide your wealth?"

Stop mouthing off about it on a public forum for a start will help.

I bought weed from Candyland, and it's the real thing. One hit can last me a couple hours.

I speak as a former 20-year pothead.

But Candyland does not sell smoking pipes.

 

Does anyone know a store in Pattaya that sells smoking pipes?

Maybe even a tobacco products store? (wood pipes or glass pipes, doesn't matter)

Easy enough to make ya own

I´ve been looking for IQ, since I left my home town
I´ve been looking for IQ, still it can´t be found
I´ve been looking for IQ, I´ve been looking so long
I´ve been looking for IQ, still the search goes on.

 

Moral of the story: Never lose you trust in the human race.

Friday night, a busy week and I'm tired so could you please explain the significance of your post in relation to the thread?

I read a story in Qld. A mate had a mate do a tattoo. They had a falling out before but still went ahead with tattoo. He did a large penis on his back. He took him to court won damages.

Jeeeez, how stupid would you have to be to get ink done by someone ya had a blue with previously. Unreal. Guy deserves the tat he got on his back for being a d!ck head. Damages pay out 'may' just cover the price for a cover up tat done (with a mate? watching the ink man/woman work).

I see guys doing welding and using sunglasses (sometimes not even using any eye protection ) and sun glasses offer no protection from the welding light and this will cause eye problems and blindness if they persist

But the their eye problems are not your problems so no problem.

And the person taking the video, dipstick, driving one handed taking a video and not flashing warnings to the driver in front.

Maybe, just maybe there is the off chance there was a passenger filming the other car. I know that's an absolutely outrageous possibility but hey, who knows, stranger things have happened.
