Its called a duty of care.

Better ways....such as?

How could I when they are figments of your imagation?

sorry mate but I am calling BS on that one.

Ahh mental health issues is it - Let's add social media to the mix as a leading cause of mental health issues amongst the young, as a source let's add the highly respected journal (The Lancet Psychiarty) - oh that's the same one as the OP used, excellent! So social media is a leading cause of mental health issues amongst people, especially the young. I look forward to the banning and rescinding of all forms of social media to protect the public. I hope the government will pursue this outright ban along with cannabis to protect the public from foreign interference and ideas and preserve their mental health. Anything less would be a gross violation of their duty of care. Point being. There are a huge range of things that can cause mental health issues in people. Pinning it solely on one 'drug' is utter folly. And let's not forget cannabis will still be freely and openly available if it is every recriminalised, just as it was prior to its decrimilization. It will now be solely for the profit of criminal organisations rather than the government (although you could argue that there is not too much difference between either i guess). The quality of the OP is utter tripe and is just a wish list of things that government wants the public to accept as truth without any further discussion or debate.

Where the hell does he talk of putting refrigeration units in the oceans? Plastics are not the biggest problem facing the world - climate change is. Natural climate change occurs over thousands or tens of thousands of years. Not in the space of 20 - 30 years. It is the rate of warming and change that is alarming, not climate change itself.

Global warming is the mechanism of change that underpins Climate Change, they are not seperate ideas. So the cult never changes their mantra did they - An Ice age (also climate change) would also cause sea temperatures to drop and coral reefs to either go deeper (such as off the coast of the UK) or for tropical coral species to die in a similar fashion to the current bleaching events. Explain how sewage kills corals - i bet you cant without the help of google.

Firstly - Your facts are not correct - This mess (lack of regulation) was not (surprisingly caused by Anutin). September 2022 The house of representatives withdrew cannabis from the agenda to be debated in parliment. As a result there was never any legislation passed to control the use of cannabis. This was the fault of all MPs. The MPS felt there were too many unknowns, so rather than trying to fix it, they left it in a legal gray area and moved on. As for your solution being the only viable one - again in correct. Cannabis can be sold at shops - which must be conseraive in appearence, so as not to appeal to the young, and photo ID must be provided by all customers (even 70 year olds like me) and all customers must be over 20. There can be no direct advertising of cannabis (just like alcohol and cigerretes) and no cannabis can be smoked in public, with 10'000 baht fines for those who do. If you ban it outright ( and remember there is a huge oversupply issue) it will just go back on the black market for sale and society will receive no benifit at all.

He had asked for permission to visit myanmar...are people on parloe allowed to visit other countries???? ..

Judging by the tone of this response..i am not surprised they take issue with you asking them to stop. Maybe you should reflect on how you ask? May i suggest not using the term "cigarette pig" when you ask them to stop. (However i am sure you are only that brazen when posting annonymously on the internet )

I think you'll find its not just weed shops with neon signs in Pattaya. Hua Hin and Phuket - The non-weed shop neon signs 9restaurants, bars, petrol stations etc) are probably far greater in number. Do you find those offensive as well? Please remember that just because you find them offensive, it doesn't mean the signs are offensive to everyone. As for not wanting to breath that sht - Mate - everyone who lives in Thailand breaths sht far, far worse than weed smoke - but i get your point. As a courtesy to other people all smokers should be discreet and smoke in private areas away from people who do no wish to inhale second hand smoke.

The issue is not smokimg weed recreationally or otherwise. But the lack of regulation and those selfish few who think it is okay to smoke openly on thr streets, parks and beaches. A bit of thought and consideration as well as discretion in smoking would go a great deal towards pacifying those who find it a nasty activity. Simple to make consumption at home or in private legal and fine. But in public spaces no. Just like alcohol and fags. Also id required to make a purchase. Thau id card or passport to ensure no one under 20 can buy legally and shut down shops that cannot follow this.

But that was because MF stuck to its principles and would not drop its election pledge 112. Whereas PTP despite promising to never join with the uncle parties during the election campagin turned coat and joined the uncle parties.

Ah taksin. The self deluded man who thinks because a few old ladies remember him in Chiang Mai, the whole nation loves him. PTP glory days are a distant memory and all of Thailand is wise to the lies of the shin clan. PTP and Takain a 2nd place party.

And what will they ask for in return?? A 100 year concession on the deep ports Thailand may build for its land bridge project. Perfect for Chinese warships....and the colonisation of Thailand by China will be complete.

1st April right? This government has shown it is very bad at sticking to self imposed deadlines. Digital wallet anyone?

What happens if they discover they dont like muay thai and stop the class. Can they still use the visa until it expires?

Well he isn't wrong is he???

Once deported - The videos will be reposted no doubt. Then what will the Police do???? But in all seriousness - tarnishing Thailand's image - really??? What a strange set world we live in when the person highlighting the problem, is considered to be a bigger problem, than the problem itself. These charges have only brought more attention to his criticisms and magnified Thailand tarnished image and created an even bigger threat to National Security. TBH if a half a dozen half baked and badly produced youtube videos can be considered a threat to National Security, Thailand must be very, very insecure.

Goat - please mate, stop your constant whinging about Brits. If you don't like the Brits here, maybe you should move. Ironic that you say you dislike people who complain and whinge all the time, and you then spend most of your post complaining and whinging about Brits. All he is doing is following the mantra of all newspaper - Bad news sells better than good news. How many good news stories do you see in the newspaper - virtually none.

Just like Thailand formerly belonged to the Thais, until the Chinese turned up and bought everything.

Two questions. How will the Land office know your spouse has died? Can you transfer the land to a minor? or hold the land for the minor until they reach adulthood?

Well kinda true - If for example a foreigner divorces his wife or vice versa all assets accrued during the marriage are required to be split equally, including property. " According to a 1999 Ministry of Interior regulation, foreigners cannot own land in Thailand. Even if a foreigner marries a Thai national, he or she cannot have ownership over the land in Thailand. If you bought the land during the marriage, the Thailand Land Department requires the foreigner to sign a legal document to specify that this land is a non-marital property having a separate legal personality, therefore, only the Thai spouse will solely have ownership over the land. However, in the divorce proceeding, the foreigner spouse can provide evidence to the court proving that such land was also bought by his or her funds and the land should be considered being the marital property. Once the land is the marital property, then the land should be sold and the proceeds of the sale should be equally shared between the spouses." Thaiembassy.com

All the negative comments and ridicule you will no doubt get for making such comments, reflect the poor choices the ones making the jokes and ridcule have made - probably married hookers and got scammed. My wife and I have been together long time (30+ years) and I, sorry my wife and I, agree with you 100%, everything we own or do now is to secure a good future for our children and their children. No doubt bank of mum and dad will also fork out for a deposit for the kids house as well.

Could be a small goose? I am just surprised why the tuk-tuk driver is not asking for the extra 300 baht for the trip? "Abdulla, a tuk-tuk driver, stated that he picked up the British guy, Mr. Graham, from the Patong area and drove him to a hotel in Karon, Mueang Phuket District, for 400 baht. When they arrived at the hotel, Mr. Graham claimed to have given the driver a 1,000-baht Thai cash and demanded change. However, Abdulla asserted that it was merely a 100-baht note." He's a very generous driver to forego 75% of the agreed fare, wouldn't you agree? As far as I am concerned I am going to side with the Brit on this one - I reckon the driver, though he could make some easy money from a pissed tourist by claiming he only gave him 100 baht (not 1000) hoping the tourist would be too drunk to notice. Tuk -Tuk, Win motorcye etc their all mafia and very prone to violence as countless stories over the years have shown and the Brits 'assult' was feeble at best when considering the levels of violence given to visitors to this lovely kingdom.
