Yet again, call on the expats to bail them out when they have no other options. When the goose fattens up, cut it open. They offer nothing but hostility when the tourists poor in so they can shove their requests up their proverbials. How about treating expats who contribute towards the economy 365 to better healthcare and more respect and then ask for some assistance.

I get what you're saying 100pc. It isn't representative of the Chinese people, who are on the whole decent, hardworking folk. Like everywhere, including Thailand, it's the idiots at the top letting the country down. I've no issue with Chinese people. The policies of their bully boy leaders leaves me feeling sick of them. They need to be told at every corner, clear off and be quiet.

If this doesn't highlight how little people trust them nothing will. Saying that, if they don't know already I'm guessing they never will. It won't have any effect. Thai taxi driver rips off a tourist. Altercation starts. Tourist gets jumped by 4 natives. Chinese police arrive and demand action is taken against the natives...will the RTP listen and take action against the natives? Not a chance. It'd be nice to actually have them here and report back a backing of LESS confidence.

Agreed. But what do you get for higher taxes? I'll happily pay more for better health care and emergency services but the added funds won't go to them, it will line the elite pockets.

Agreed. Same with cars, pickups, minibuses. Just impound them and return when a license is displayed and an enormous fine. Unpaid within 2 weeks and your vehicle is up for sale. They'll never get it. The only language they understand is money. Sadly, their selfish, wreckless driving usually ends up hurting innocent bystanders more.

They won't acknowledge it. It's 100pc true what you say but they'll always bite the nose off to spite their greedy faces. Look how they treated ex-pats during COVID. We were contributing to the economy when tourists were gone. They did everything in their power to make their ingratitude evident. I'll never forget the countless times they tried to get us back on home soil despite what local businesses were saying. Let's face it, it only takes one idiot at the top for everyone to follow. I'd love to see our home countries come out and give a warning about the repercussions of retiring or relocating to a country where they can change the laws without any logic or reasoning at the drop of an imbecile's hat. See how they react to that. They're completely clueless.

Didn't thousands of Russians and Ukrainians flock to Thailand at the outbreak of the war? Probably profited from it rather than donate. 3,000,000 is pathetic.

Agreed 99 percent of what you say is typical. The other 1 is a typical Thai male(oxymoron detected) usually consists of the need for 3 more of them to tackle 1. Average cowardly, jell-belly who's always on the look out to beat up a woman, kid or somebody obviously weaker in order to beef-up his own acknowledgement that he's a failure. So someone used the F word. Sticks and stones. Take the upper hand and leave miserable old gits to their ranting. No excuse to attacking an old man just because you feel insulted by a swear word.

Everyone here does. There's no such thing as a truly incorruptible native. Some of them are better at it than others, that's all. Anti Corruption protesters...do me a favour.

Strange. I received instant message replies. Like I said, I haven't tried their stuff but I was impressed with the way they communicated. I messaged them directly. I received this menu.

They're on Facebook.

I'm buzzing with trust in an airline named... REALLY COOL AIRLINES. Sounds like a bloody skateboard.

Absolutely. Chinese people will travel when they can and where they choose. At the moment it's not a good time to take a holiday. Visas, promises, and all the other clap-trap the buffoons are spouting won't effect their choice of holiday. If one country is more appealing than another they'll go there. Many Chinese travel domestically anyway. Thailand is once again disillusioned in its concept that anybody listens or cares about their schemes, hubs and campaigns. Tourists travel to see beaches, culture and to places they fancy. Oh...and of course honest taxi drivers returning millions of bath left in the back. They won't logon to TAT.COM for the latest cartoon.

Not sure if we're allowed to publicly name and shame but they are advertising under many different company names on FB. I'd recommend looking at the pictures and font and remembering it when it appears again. I had this from them last night. Completely different company advert on FB, but same company.

Yep, my online experience isn't good. I'm nowhere near the northern region unfortunately. I've actually discovered that many of the adverts that pop up are the same company changing their profiles. Hopefully a few reputable suppliers will prevail. Cheers

Thanks. I'll take a look. When I contacted this company and asked, I was given this promise. Lesson learnt. Do some research before jumping in.

I am not an expert, heavy smoker or any such. I enjoyed weed and hash all through my teens and twenties back home. I never asked for THC or CBD levels just something to get me relaxed. My first order was standard, Thai brick weed. Nothing fancy at all yet it done the job. I'm not expecting more than just having a joint and feeling mellow. This one was twice the price I paid for my first brick (who doesn't appear to be selling at the moment) but like I said... absolutely no effect at all. No effect. I've read other comments saying similar things from other online purchases advertised on FB. The fact they didn't reply and disappeared straight away suggests I made a bad choice. Literally, zero effect from this stuff.

This stuff is dreadful I ordered and it smells and feels great. Zero...and I mean zero effect. Oddly, blocked and vanished when I raised the issue.

Evergreen Farm Chiang Mai. Look them up or I can PM their details. Very professional and knowledgeable about your interest. Thanks

Good afternoon. I've made three purchases online this year so far, always around 50 to 100g. The first was the traditional brick and cost only 400bt. Although it was dark, flaky and dry, it had a really good effect. Sadly, the contact I had hasn't replied to messages so he may have moved on. The second, smelt and looked great, yet has little effect at all. The third is much the same. Smells terrific, soft and good texture but little effect and they claim it has high THC. I get loads of great looking adverts on FB, but I have no idea if they're any good or as poor as my previous 2 efforts. I like to order around 50g per time. Can anyone recommend a trusted source please? Many thanks

I doubt they know where it is? Somchai...look what happened in Israel... Arai naaa... Israel...Pantomime...U naiiii??? They stayed neutral in the Ukraine conflict because they want tourists. No interest in human rights or right and wrong. Purely for financial benefit. No surprise here.

Like the Chinese extended visa idea. If we extend the visas they'll all come! The reason people don't come back is that it has become a built up, dirty, dangerous dump. Add to that the cheating, scamming tourist operations. When will they get the fact that the natives were blessed with a stunning country yet don't give a toss about destroying it? Littering, pollution, towns and streets looking like junk. If you want to attract anybody anywhere then clean your bloody act up and make it a safe, pleasant place to visit. Thailand is a beautiful country yet it is often a dump because of the abuse of the people that were born here.

There was a bus, a big single decker that went regularly. Certain it still goes Kalasin to Mukdahan. If you need any help with the Thai side of things, ask at Supak hotel. Someone will help. Different world up there to Pattaya and such. Always someone in Kalasin ready to help. I personally enjoy Nakon Chai Air purely because I don't have to drive for the day. Give us a shout if you need any help up there. I've got family in the area who always sort me out if I need some help.

Triads?? Why do you keep talking Triads? The story is about visa overstay in Pattaya not Triad crime. Read the story...police said they would listen if people handed themselves in. Does that sound like your version of a Triad? My point is that they target westerners not other tourists. If the Chinese tourists were here I am certain they'd be left alone Your Triads are nothing to do with this. They are not reporting on targetted Triad members, like the previous stories you are referring to. Go and have another go.

We're not talking triads we are talking tourists who are having a beer and being questioned. The triads are completely different. They're being targetted for everything from laundering to kidnapping. Totally different thing. Read the title of the post. Cops targeting overstay. Not cops targeting organised gangs.
