I Love Donald Trump
I am amazed, most foreigners write German words starting with a lowercase letter when an uppercase is required. You have managed the opposite. Her name is “ von der Leyen” .

Foreigner Wrecks Chiang Mai Stall After Smoking Ban Warning
Just last week, a guy on a motorcycle in front of me smoked so I stopped in front of a school to clean my nose. As the school was closed the guard was smoking there next to the water sinks. As I did not expect that it meant more second hand smoke for me. Conclusion, there is no escaping it.

Identification now required to make a cash deposits at Thai Banks?
In my case, I always have it on me, I just don’t want to take it out of the bagpack as a precaution, a few times it so happened I forgot to close the zipper, thankfully it did not drop out nor was it hit by a rain shower. Only the paranoid survive, a whole book has been written about it. Wait until you get older lol

Burmese man condemned for preaching Christianity to Buddhist novices
I am surprised JW and this FallenGong or whatever you call it is allowed to proselytize in public parks in Thailand. I have asked one of the JW dudes, he holds a real job and is on a work visa, my guess is breaching the statutes of it

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
At least they didn’t have to pay for another Lao visa. how did they get back from the border to town in Laos where the hotels are located ? I just love the 200 baht a ride offer for the few Kilometers

So why do you use cannabis ?
I am interested, too. And I thank OP for starting this thread. the first and very valuable insight I have got is that’s difficult to tell what people are vaping unless you ask. I didn’t know that vaping cannabis is a thing. does cannabis smell differently when you vape it ? a joint does, so I can tell it’s not cigarette smoke. although, according to my understanding a joint usually contains some tobacco so that it burns better.

Russian Man Arrested for Carrying Fake Euros in Chonburi
The banks in EU zone take them out of circulation as soon as a customer turns one in. Then there are probably tons of 500 Euro notes abroad, just with the Deutschmark, billions of Deutschmark have not yet been exchanged into Euros. on eBay 500 Euro notes are not worth more than its denomination, except for a few with “ special“ , god knows, serial numbers
