The culprit here clearly takes lesson on 'face-saving' from the esteemed Maj Gen Dr Rienthong Nanna, the director of Mongkutwattana Hospital. I do hope the Maj Gen will also be subject to stringent checks to ensure future public safety at his hospital.

Just one scenario - She is being held captive somewhere and the guy says 'send this message to your folks - or else'.
We do not know what is happening.
I just hope that she is found alive and well.
I am not victim blaming, but to marry a person who you meet on a dating app after three days and then move to another country is insanity. People need to engage their brains before making such rash decisons, and understand the potential consequences for themselves of not thinking things through. I can only go on what is reported in the OP, (as opposed to fictional scenarios). I too hope she is found safe and well and that this serves as a learning experience.

I think Thailand should only allow alcohol in public hospitals for medical purposes (wound disinfection).
So the Drs are expected to crack open a Chang and apply the contents to an open wound? Is that the idea?

If you ban it outright, there will def be much less cannabis use, partic among Thai people. When I lived in England, where it was much less available, I smoked a lot less weed.
The premise that the black market is immune to suppression is very specious. It's not 100% effective, but it's not wholly ineffective.
You may seen weed use reduction as "no benefit" but many Thai people -who vote- disagree with you.
The growing mood I get here is along the lines of: "We've catered to the whities too much for too long. MTGA."
Make Thailand Great Again.
It's amusing to see so many MAGA righties here arguing that's what's sauce for the goose back home is not -and can never be- sauce for the gander where they are currently enjoying a cheapskate paradise
"MTGA" ..."catered to the whities too long"
As a fluent Thai speaker reader, and writer who has lived here for over 25 years, please do not be offended when I politely suggest that you are talking absolute boll**ks.
To add..please remember that legalisation if cannabis was a flagship election policy of BT party which recived 5 million votes (highest number of votes it has ever received) in the last election.

I am utterly gobsmacked that so much has been revealed about this poor young lady's medical conditions in the press - surely all the conditions and ailments she was suffering from are confidential and cannot be reported by the media under threat of legal action. Remember this?
Sadly it seems she was returned to the corrections department hospital as it was thought her life was not under threat...unlike Thaksin whose doctor claimed his life was at threat if he returned to the corrections department hospital. So he who lived it up in the VIP room of the Police hospital returned home cured as soon as parole was granted and then showed great energy and vigor rushing around Chiang Mai and Phuket meeting and greeting one and all, before trying to get involved in solving Myanmar crisis.
Expect his daughter / PTP spokesperson to say it is unfair to Thaksin to compare the cases as he had nothing to do with the decision the dept of correction made and is allowed to keep medical information confidential...

However, one must wonder what goes on in the head of these people? Do they not understand that the government nor hospitals are to blame for this. The choice to hunger strike, is only a thing that is going to hurt one self. There are probably better ways.Better ways....such as?

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.

I need help? Your “solution” is putting refrigeration units in the ocean. lol. My god. I guess this is what the world is coming to. You do know water has a very high specific heat capacity, right?
just a little hint to help you get started on your journey to actually having a useful opinion for once: you can’t cool off oceans with refrigerators
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.

The cult were screaming Global Warming causing the great barrier reef dying until it slipped out it was infact growing. The Cult changed their mantra to Climate Change. Something this spining rock has been doing for billions of years. Anyone for an Ice age? Trash and sewage kills reefs/corals. Dead coral is white.
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.

On 5/11/2024 at 8:19 PM, advancebooking said:So the government is rightly doing a backflip on the mess caused by Mr Auntin. Its been a balls-up from the start but what do you expect from him.
The solution to the problem is to only have medical cannabis distributed by clinics in Thai government hospitals throughout the country. Close ALL other retail shops
Its the only viable solution. The government should pay compensation to retail shops when closing. End of story.
Thoughts?
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.

Does that go for cigarette smokers? Cigarette smoke literally stinks and is also a health hazard, secondhand cigarette smoke causes real health problems. Yeah, entitled cigarette addicts smoking anywhere they please are a scourge. So absolutely ALL smokers of all substances should be respectful and not pollute the air of others. But the cigarette pίgs will go to war with you if you ask them politely to refrain from doing it.
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 )

Many coffee shops now are selling the stuff... and smoking it. I don't like cigarette smoke of ANY kind. Why should I breathe in that sht?
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.

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.

Missed off Thais from your list?? I mean in terms of numbers and frequency they must top the list of criminals in Thailand, mustn't they for obvious reasons - So lets add them to the list as well...for the sake of balance.
Thais - Ping-Pong firing Hookers and Meth dealers sums them up right? I assume we are playing to National sterotypes?
