“Solve drug problems with strict enforcement of the law and to eliminate drug production sites and drug networks…” The Move Forward concluded they want marijuana to be strictly used for medical purposes as it should have been in the first place. These two statements prove the absolute incompetence of these "Group of Physicians"! Ignorance at highest degree since they focus only on the "medical purpose" and "danger" for the youth while experience made from Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Canada and many more have proven that there is little impact on youth, however a BIG impact in reducing consumption of stronger narcotics like the omnipresent Ya-Bah!! Meth-amphetamines, Ice etc. are ravaging Thailand's youth since more then 30 years! Even in the most remote village one can find these highly addictive pink pills as cheap as 5 Baht/pill!! Are these "Group of Physicians" aware that the Ya-Bah prices are tumbling down from 350 Bt./pill to 5 Bt./pill within a couple of months?! Are these "Group of Physicians" aware that Ya-Bah users smoke up to 8, even 12 pills per day?! Are these "Group of Physicians" aware about the rising criminality, rape and murder caused by consumption of Ya-Bah, Cristal and other potent narcotics?! Are these "Group of Physicians" aware that NO ONE is impaired with reason nor aggressive but pacific while under the influence of Ganja?! Are these "Group of Physicians" aware that Cannabis or Hemp ARE NOT ONLY beneficial for medical purposes but an amazing Plant that can improve new jobs, revive the economy while using these fibers for production of: Paper, Clothing, Insulation, Building Materials etc., etc. and etc. In my humble opinion, all these people criticizing this matter are showing how shortsighted and ignorant they are! Their arguments are really stupid, since they don't see the big picture... I am convinced, that the Ya-Bah consumption will dramatically reduce! One cannot become addict while consuming Cannabis! One will never lose control after consuming Ganja! One will never rape and kill his family while under the influence of Cannabis. And, you cannot overdose on Cannabis! No one died on Cannabis use!!

"In a post on his Facebook page..." On Facebook?!

It's already headline in Swiss Press: Thai government's controversial plans for discrimination Foreigners should pay more for hotel rooms than locals! The accusation that tourists in Thailand are 'walking ATMs' is not new. According to initial reactions from industry insiders, a pricing system that penalizes foreigners is also unlikely to accelerate Thailand's tourism recovery. The opposite is likely to happen. Namely causing even more trouble among expats and causing tourists to look out for reasonably priced alternatives when planning their travel destinations. https://www.blick.ch/wirtschaft/umstrittene-plaende-von-thailaendischer-regierung-touristen-sollen-mehr-fuer-hotelzimmer-bezahlen-als-einheimische-id17639364.html

Spot on, Mikebell! Living also since 30 years here, I said, ten years ago: Retirees ARE the best potential for Thailand's Long Term Residents future! Allow them to: Receive a multi entry 1 year Retirement Visa with illimited renewal year by year Legally buy 1/2 a Rai (800 m2) to build own residency It is a win win for both

"pushing ahead with efforts" is a very convincing way to say it. LOL
