  1. Well, I have Hola VPN and that gives me everything for when I want to watch something different. That being said, there are a ton of movies and TV shows ready to go on the Thai version that will last me a heck of a long time. I suppose when I catch up with those and there's nothing new to watch I will just cancel....considering I'll be paying 3,360 for a whole year I think I can afford to keep it. :)

  2. The sooner they legalise that stuff the better. It's a natural plant that some people like to smoke for goodness sake.

    should they also legalise Heroin and Cocaine because both are derived from natural plants?

    Yes.

    A revealing answer and telltale of the true agenda... It's not and never has been "just" about marijuana.

    Lol

    Addicts will always find away. After herion and Cocaine was so restricted addicts came up with crack, p , yaba all much more dangerous drugs. More peoples lives are taken from the prison sentences and the death sentences and the drug smugglers fighting with police than the drug itself. People should be free to put in their own bodies what they want to
    Agreed. It's hypocritical when thousands in Thailand die or suffer serious medical conditions every year from ingestion of alcohol and/or tobacco and yet marijuana, which has a non existent harm rate, can get you executed for possession.
  4. During Songkran all the police disappear in my neighborhood. 15 teenage boys on four motorbikes racing each other down the street, getting smashed in the face by people with big buckets of water as they fly past. Mostly it is a problem in my hood with underage boys on bikes or drunkards on bikes, coupled with a COMPLETE lack of police presence during those days.

  5. I had the same thing happen, the service dept. took the battery out and put it back in and it worked. I was expecting the worst and was so happy about that. Nearly five years with my pro and that has been the only issue so far with it. The battery still charges at 85% of its original strength. That being said, I have added to my mac family with a 27 inch Imac and an 11 inch air. They all get attention :) From 1992-2010 with windoze and when I switched to mac it was revelatory.

  6. Came in on Monday night, a taxi driver collared me. I was going to Soi 11 Sukhumvit. Got in the taxi, he refused to put on the meter and asked for 500 baht. I started getting out and he said OK, 400. He relented to 350 but I told him no tip, which was fair enough to me as I had just traveled over 30 hours and I was early evening, so the traffic was heavy

    He probably gets away with it 9 out of 10 times as tourists have no idea what the normal fares are...

    When I hail a taxi in Bangkok, the first question I ask before getting in is whether they use the meter or not...

    Ask them that in Thai and they definitely won't try to rip you off! haha
