sure he does. because drugs are bad mmkay. one can only imagine what global prison systems would look like and the sheer number of lives ruined if every recreational drug user were jailed

correct -- they revised the policy. jail time is a possibility, but certainly not for first time offenders, the idea is to limit the people going to jail and move toward rehabilitation Possession for personal use (of category I, II and V substances) is liable for a term of imprisonment not exceeding 2 years and/or a fine not exceeding THB40,000. Under the previous legal provision, possession of category I narcotics could lead to 1 - 10 years imprisonment or fine of THB20,000 - 200,000. https://idpc.net/blog/2021/12/thailand-reforms-drug-laws-to-reduce-impacts-of-criminal-justice-system

yes. I understood you loud and clear and I'm telling you that while it may have been something that happened a long time ago in a Thailand far away, it does make sense now for either the dealers or the cops. the dealers would be taking repeat customers out of circulation and the cops would be doing it for extortion money. the fact that this case made the media means it was a genuine bust. if you saw it happen on Khaosan Road it certainly wasn't in this decade, and I highly doubt it involved cocaine. in other words, you are perpetuating a tired old myth.

cringe

epic. @Nick Carter icp care to summarize, in public, for all to see?

it wasn't just for me. it was a reply in public for all to see.

yes, i saw it for myself, thank you.

Ah the scent of my father.

thats cringeworthy

i reckon she looks brilliant, love the spy vs spy comparison

this is such a crock of <deleted>. It is the perpetuation of a decades-old myth. It is also horrible business, why mess with a punter likely to make several purchases? Also, any cop doing this is doing it to make money and extort bribes to let people off. it would certainly never get far enough to reach the media.

done my fair share though.

Dude is going to pay a fine and walk, stop with the histrionics, and you do arrive, but you suspect there is a better party just down the street,

its just a kid with a bag o' gak.

Thailand has been knee-deep in cocaine for decades. would take me about 15 minutes to come up with a bag -- delivered -- if I were looking.

i was unaware that responding to a topic in under 24 hours was unacceptable. noted. Yeh buddy, you just keep focusing on the important stuff.

how naive are you? or are you just being disingenuous?

why won't you just let this go? It is pure speculation. You have no idea what their "arrangement" is, and even if you did, IT WOUDN'T FOKKING MATTER. it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

the bishop needs a communicable disease

This is the crux of it. the Thailand of the past clashes with a new era. once upon a time in a Thailand not so far away, the driver would have deserved deference solely on the basis of his age. i once worked in companies like that, but never for long.

home automation devices like Google and Alexa are experiencing a dumbing down as company reduce investment because their services are not easy to monetize. Google Home in particular has been on a slow slide, if hadn't gone all in I'd bin it and move everything out of the cloud with Home Assistant running locally, but that would be time-consuming and potentially expensive. unfortunately, I'm hooked on voice command, so i cope.

apparently cant spell it either

Pad thai is uninspiring and hardly a traditional dish. I don't much care for Tom yum either unless its has a clear broth like nam sai or potek, which can be heavenly

Simples, bring a thai friend with an identical medical condition

then pad thai is the perfect place to begin I'm amused he is in some luxury accommodation eating a takeout somebody obviously collected for him.
