Its the arrests that havnt been made and certainly should have been made, that are of concern here.
On the subject of transparency, this headline was also in the latest news:
Protest in front of UN office against proposed Thai law to curb NGO activities

What is considered 'an extract' ? Is smoke considered an 'extract' ?
Everbody should band together and call their local police station daily asking them to visit and check the THC in your plants because you certainly dont want to break any laws lol!

I am quite happy here, I live as I want to. I'd have to be a multi-millionaire in Australia to have a GF 23 years younger than me, as I do here.
You keep banging on about anger and frustration of farangs living here. I'd suggest you are cherry-picking the posters who suit your confirmation bias.
As for the Thailand Pass, obviously the elite could not care less about the unemployment in the tourist industry, arising from their decision to keep life difficult for the average tourist.
Agreed, for us with the wife/GF 23 years younger its very easy to relieve that frustration and anger......bring it on I say!!

You are correct. Years ago when dope was everywhere and the police turned a blind eye there were no pills except a few bar girls I knew were on pharmaceuticals. As the cops got heavier with dope more turned to 'powders' ie meth, speed etc. because much much smaller to traffic, hide, carry etc. and could return better profits for a lesser sized stash. I know they are totally opposite drugs but thats what happened, both here and most other places in the world. The policing of cannabis actually caused greater problems with addictions, crime etc. Portugal legalised all drugs and there has been a marked reduction in crime and addictions etc.
Pharmaceutical giants, tobacco companies, and others lobbied governments, and particularly the US government who in turn pressurised the rest of the world, to criminalise cannabis. In turn stories were fabricated, such as Reefer Madness and other movies, and the public brainwashed with this propaganda so widely its affects can still be seen today and especially among some of the Lock up Your Daughters ThaiVisa members, as shown in their comments above.
Nowdays of course the US government has taken an absolute reversal with cannabis, just like with Afghanistan, where what once was saving the world from imminent danger, now is considered of little concern.

It’s because they know that US will be in dire straits come November: economy crashing, inflation in double digits, political impasse after Republicans take both houses, deficit spending soaring, riots in the streets. It’s much easier to negotiate terms with a weakened partner.
Not a problem really....the US can just print some more money to pay for the ink and paper to print even more.

Agreeing or not to the partnership is no real deal at the end of the day. The US never keeps to its word if it doesnt suit them.

Does there exist a single photo of that geezer where he is either a) standing up on his own two legs instead of sitting in a chair, or b) not dozing off?
No.

I wonder if the test was done like when I taught here in Bangkok: "Keep testing them until they pass. If they dont pass before 3.30 then give them the answers".

Just a few days ago there was a report of trafficked Burmese being arrested at the border after being abandoned by smugglers. The US and the international community have repeatedly emphasized to Thai authorities that trafficked persons should be treated as victims rather than criminals, but it never seems to sink in.
They're not Thai so they must be criminals.

If you like Nana Plaza stay near Nana.
If you like both then I would stay in between.
I enjoy Dream Hotel Bangkok on Soi 15 as a go between.
This is very close to Thermae.
if you want to spend more money there are other options on Sukhumvit.
Sounds like you prefer the cultural aspect that Bangkok has to offer lol.

Well he should know better than others about human trafficking as he was named as being directly involved in trying to interfere in the investigations.

Seem to remember reading that pellets are the preferred form for silver in Thailand as most silver used for manufacture not investment. Pellets are easier to melt than bars obviously.

Well one solution would be to stop getting involved in pointless wars such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, that would save heaps for the pensions and save a lot of young mens lives.

BINGO!!!
I knew I bloody well had it. There's no way missis & I can both develop symptoms on the same day and she has covid and I have just regular cold. Missis showed a positive result after 3 days, but for some reason I didn't show positive until day 6. Oh well, now I know, I'm in self ISO, got plenty of paracetamol. My missis has now fully recovered, so I hope to be on the mend next week.
Sorry to hear that, get well soon. Maybe its coming for me too. Like you say, hard to believe a husband and wife can live together without both coming down with it. And whats worse is not a drop of whiskey in the house lol!

Just seems to be too much of a coincidence that I come down with regular cold/flu on the exact same day my missis comes down with covid.
Maybe she had both and you only the cold/flu? Thats what I'm thinking in our case.

Been waiting for my online report which has been pending since the 16th. We were on the phone with our imm office today and yesterday but was told forget it, put it in the post, the whole system is down Thailand wide. He was after my Line ID because he said he couldnt even get an email out on the Imm system.
