I would respectfully disagree with you Briggsy..
Former Justice Minister Paiboon Khumchaya definitely started the ball rolling on this issue. His reasons for doing so are well-recorded. He has moved on to a seat on the Privy Council, a position of perhaps even more influence. Thailand's prison system is heavily overloaded and changes are being considered.
The Sangha is in disarray and the monks managed to live with the two main plants for many centuries. The current attitude is much more recent. In fact, my own early visits predate it. Bangkok was wide open in the early '70's.
Thailand and many other countries will be watching Canada's experience closely.
Lastly, the bill opening the door to this has already passed first reading and since it's government sponsored, one could think that it might be a big policy step taken before the elections to come.

Not those kind of moths.. The reason I am 100% sure is.. I can spot them several meters away. I pick them off the wall and throw them outside. Otherwise, they continue to go as high as they can, usually the ceiling, where they hatch out and leave the casing hang there forever..

Definitely not stubble.. Do you like stubble on women? When discovered, they are sent off to shave...
I have a late in life beard after being clean shaven my entire adult life. I like it..and it's the natural state for an adult male. After a week or so, it's grown past the stubble stage and can be quite soft without being particularly long. Shampoo and hair conditioner helps with the softness.

The balcony railings run horizontally rather than vertically, so they can be climbed like a ladder..
The poster who provided the picture alluded to this.

Yes, can't wait for all the liberal snowflakes getting arrested at the Swampy arrival gates because they have weed in their system.
Is it possible that you are just "stirring the pot" 555
Because it's hard to imagine anyone so obtuse as to suggest that there is any possibility of an immigration officer in Swampy either detecting or giving a second thought to the bloodstreams of arriving visitors.

Ok, just read about it, and what happened was that in the 1990's when they legalised hemp they did so in a way that allowed any cannabis to be grown, but not sold as cannabis, and this led to people finding a way around the law by selling products that were made with low grade cannabis and marketed as other things, such as potpourri. They passed a law in 1999 allowing products made from cannabis as long as they were of low enough THC content, until 2004 when they stopped that altogether and then instead allowed people to grow a few plants for personal consumption.
You are confusing hemp with "marijuana". Easy to make the mistake, as they are the same plant. Some few cantonments allow for growing hemp.
The difference is in the selective breeding for either low or high THC content. Hemp is processed but never consumed.

We've been fighting a war against smoking cigarettes, and we've almost won the war. Tobacco has almost been defeated. We're now seeing people trying to legalise and promote cannabis.
What on earth is our new slogan ??
"Say no to Marlboro, but marijuana is okay". How ridiculous is that comment ?No it's not madness. Continuing the almost century long prohibitionist policy is madness. Your point about tobacco is false. It has not been illegal to smoke tobacco. People don't go to jail for tobacco. It's not a War on tobacco You haven't almost won it.. People decided for themselves to quit smoking. There are vaporizers now that allow similar experience but safer. Edibles are over half the cannabis legal market.
You are one of many (but becoming far fewer) who bought into the war propaganda.
Just like real war, after a while we'll all be buddies again.

There's no speculation about a connection between the 2 events..

NetJunkie... (how ironic that you have identified as a "junkie")
You better get used to saying "but but".. the tide has definitely turned and decades of propaganda are going up in smoke (555 see what I did there)
Canada legalizes recreational (not just nod and a wink medical) next week. Many other countries soon to follow.
The War is just about over. Best to get all your white hankies at the ready.

Why are there Canadians here blowing Trump's horn? Do you think there aren't enough "deplorables" in his own country doing that?
Not only were his comments about our Prime Minister undiplomatic to the max when talking about his country's closest ally, but if it gets "schoolyard" Trudeau will kick this jellybelly into the current century.. He did it before.
Seriously though, to anyone who knows the history of the previous century, it's not unknown for nations of good people to go off the rails listening to people like him.

I graduated from a Honda 50 to this in 1968.
I've looked for a picture of this bike several times before but this time got lucky. Usually Google serves up the RD350 or the R5 but this bike was much earlier.

^^ Actually, long before 1962..
King Rama VI passed the Surname Act in 1913 . The act required all permanent residents to adopt Thai surnames.
Chinese families chose long surnames so as to ensure that there new surnames were unique.
Ethnic Thais (people indigenous to the land and not married to a person of Chinese descent or related to the monarchy) actually have shorter surnames (one or two syllable) as they didn't need the long surnames to distinguish themselves nor were they bestowed a royalty-assigned name.
A little bit of copy/paste..

That's all taken care of. Condo is an old one with a mish mash of window faces on outside. There is no real building management as they went bankrupt just after completing so the residents get together every year for a fighting session. No real management. Just a token juristic assigned. following whatever dreams of the day . Condo Act sits in a dusty draw ignored.
Today is Monday. They should arrive in an hour. I'll let you guys know how it went.
I'm sure the prices in your building reflect this reality.. That's why it's forbidden to alter the outside appearance in a condominium.

4 pages in.. and time for the real answer to the multiple syllable surname.
Many years ago, the Thai Government of the day decided that from that point onward all Chinese immigrants would have to adopt a Thai surname. This was accomplished with the help of various sources, primarily the local Wat.
Thailand is, to my knowledge, the only country where Chinese immigrants do not retain their original Chinese surname. Their original surnames have not been forgotten, and there are many associations exclusive to those original surnames.
Ethnic Thai surnames are usually only 2 or 3 syllables long. a handy tip for sorting out who is who. Thai people are fully aware of this...

There's no question in my mind that there has been an explosion of exhaust modifications on these small motorbikes..
They are seriously noisy.
