do nothing, get paid the same
don't you think in this land of corruption, big sugar has long fingers in the politics to be sure they will not be fined or lose money
What do you mean do nothing? Just in the last 2 weeks they have blamed Cambodia for the pollution PLUS warned people off getting carried away burning incence sticks! Thats twice as much as their usual effort!

I need to fly from Bangkok (probably DMK) to the North sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'll be buying some property and the sellers (a group of farmers) are insisting that I pay them in cash. The sum is 5M baht. I don't want the hassle of trying to withdraw that amount in cash from a branch far from where I live, so the only real option is to carry the cash with me (no option for bank transfer, cashiers cheque or anything else).
Am I likely to have any issues during security carrying this amount of cash? Driving is another option, but it's a 10 hour drive which, although I've done many times, I hate doing.
Thanks.
Can you confirm what airport, what time you will arrive and a pic to recognise you? Im sure I can help you lol!

https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/tangled-problem-sugarcane-burning-thailand
With wealthy owners of sugar companies holding the balance of power in this industry, the Thai government, as a Thai financial sector consultant asserted, has taken "a kid gloves" approach to environmental governance since "setting back billionaire families is not exactly this government's priority."
Because the Thai government neither provides any financing or other mechanisms to encourage non-burning methods of disposing of agricultural waste nor does it stipulate a minimum wage for cane cutters, smallholders with fluctuating incomes and ongoing production costs are forced to pollute their own homelands. Rather than offer sustainable livelihood alternatives, such as subsidizing the use of machinery to clear excess biomass, the government tends to comply with the requests of agribusiness companies and farmer groups to relax the percentage of burnt sugarcane that they can then legally sell.
Excellent! You understand it, the farmers understand it, why doesnt the government?
I know it all comes back to dollars and cents but it is a shame that subsidised cooperatives cant be organised to turn all the agricultural waste, such as sugar cane and corn waste, into mulch or compost to feed back into the land which badly needs organic matter. Nearly everything is burned with almost nothing going back ino the soil. The result would be much cleaner air and increased farm production.

Just draw it.
Only needs to show nearest main intersection from your home or condo etc.
Always best to check with your local office as they all differ. Our office is happy with a google map but it must be door to door, nearest main intersection is not acceptable.

Weed is legal in NL, Spain and also in some U.S. states. No acute negative consequences have been observed there.
So the NL. Spain, Portugal and all those US states where weed is legal have been lying through there teeth all this time? Who would believe it? Loll

In my home town when I was around 10 yrs old, nobody was a drug user and if you were then you were an outcast.
Same in many country towns .... people do go and socialize at the pub over a beer which is normal in country towns, but taking drugs and addicts is not considered normal and is not liked at all.
anyway, I've gotta run so let's enjoy the day and don't think too mut ..
Why do you never answer the question put to you but instead waffle on about your childhood?

But they didnt tell you, nor do you still not realise, that alcohol is a drug? Drugs are wrong but alcohol is somehow ok? Some logic you have there mate lol!

There's no lack of regulations, only lack of enforcement.
The regulations say who can\can't smoke (under 20 years old, pregnant and nursing women) and that smoking in public places is not allowed. So if people smoke in public places they should be stopped. Simple enough.
Exactly just like it would be with cigarettes. alcohol etc in a public place if we had a police force. Dont just change the laws so you can give the cops more time off, get them to do their jobs.

Some twit would get offended by fresh air and sooner have it banned! Why not have police do their job and police usage in public areas?
That of course would be entirely logical however we dont live in a country where logic has any meaning.

I was raided by the cops a few years ago and when one of the pigs was searching my then wife's 'smalls' drawer he set of a rotating vibrator hidden under her knickers. I wish I had a camera to get a shot of the look and colour of his face.

Is Thailand’s love-hate relationship with legal cannabis coming to an end?
in Thailand News
Posted
A well informed member? here has claimed cannabis use leads to violence such as some killing their parents for weed money and yet these countries where cannabis is legal have not reported the same?
