More whataboutery.

Kneecaps, elbow joints and boolies would be a good starting point. A swift goot in the boolies with a steel toecap safety boot is a good starter for 10 points.

Sadly it is not really the rank and file that are the problem. It is all the generals that are in charge that are the problem. THEY are the ones who run the military and THEY are the root cause of the problem of the coups. They are like cancer in the human body and need excising and getting rid of.

They should have put the main suspect, Chaiwat Boonkarin back in the hole and filled it in with a backhoe.

And the Russians are crying about this, at the same time that they are launching drones and missiles made in Iran. Boo hoo hoo

In my experience with 25 years in the RAF back in the early 1960s and the first 2 or 3 years with National Servicemen, there were no drugs. Yes we all smoked and drank, but they ate in the same mess and ate the same good food as we did. My maths teacher during training, was a qualified chartered accountant who turned down a short service commission because he could make more money when he came out after 2 years.

My son,now 18, decided to join the army cadets at school for 3 years, 2 of them during the Covid pandemic. He most probably won't be called up for conscription. It was his choice though I must admit I probably put the idea in his head. The next stage starting in August is uni at Chiang Rai.

Legally, without any fiddle factors, IMHO it will be extremely difficult though not impossible depending on PTP coalition partners and their numbers. OTOH after the EC, CC, alphabet soup organisations, police, army civil service and the rabid royalist yellow shirts have stuck their oar in, I believe that it will be impossible, unles the Thai voters refuse to accept those results.

There is that word again. IF. Along with perhaps, maybe, possibly. IF wishes were horses, beggars would ride,

Suthep Thaugsuban for one.

Former general.

I do wish that you would research the topic before posting untruths. NO the general did NOT get the most votes at the last election. He only became the PM because the FFP was disbanded, disenfranchising over 6 million voters, the EC changed their rules on how many votes political parties needed to get a party list seat and the 250 NON elected hand picked by himself senators voted for him. He became the PM because of that. So you would rather ignore (like Prayuth) the wishes of 50 million Thai people who are entitled to vote, and let an illegal coup leader stay in power? I do hope that you don't have a vote in the election today. It is the right of the Thai people and nobody else, which politicians and which political party they vote for. NOT you, me or anyone who has NO vote. Nor does the EC, CC, the alphabet soup agencies, the police, military, civil service or the senate have ANY right to change the result.

Do you have any idea where I can order it please? I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet.

Try reading this link all the way through and then explain why you believe it is wrong. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/05/factchecking-trumps-cnn-town-hall/

I only want to try the oil for pain management.

I have an appointment at the government hospital in a couple of weeks time and I will ask the doctors opinion then.

From the Post of 12 May. You are mostly correct, BUT it is ONLY for 111 days and then it reverts to 4.23% per annum. Is it an election bribe?

Your question should be more along the lines of Why are there no clean EC, CC and the alphabet soup agencies?

The ONWR officials don't care and neither does the current caretaker government. They get paid irrespective of rain or no rain, floods or drought.

I didn't bother to listen to the interview but I did read ALL of the fact checking and to be fair, Trump did get his name right, but nothing else. Still it was a MAGA and prospective MAGA audience and they seemed to believe it, as do several posters on this thread.

Thank you for the information.

I have just done an internet search and found this link. https://journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/2021/07001/medicinal_cannabis_in_thailand__1_year_experience.9.aspx TOPICAL REVIEW Medicinal cannabis in Thailand: 1-year experience after legalization Zinboonyahgoon, Nantthasorna,*; Srisuma, Sahaphumeb,c; Limsawart, Wirund; Rice, Andrew S.C.e; Suthisisang, Chuthamaneef Author Information PAIN 162():p S105-S109, July 2021. | DOI: 10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001936 FREE Metrics 1. Introduction Cannabinoids, cannabis, and cannabis-based medicines (CBM) have been used for medical purposes for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and cancer pain.13,16–18,25,30,42 Nevertheless, the clinical application remains controversial due to the limited evidence of benefit, potential harm, and legal/regulatory issues around the world.11,14,24,26,33,41 The public's interest in cannabis products has risen globally and has been accelerated by legalization for medicinal and recreational purposes in many countries.32 In Thailand, cannabis was categorized as a controlled substance since the early 1930s. Nevertheless, by the rapid promulgation of new regulations in February 2019, the country became the first and only nation in South East Asia that legalized medicinal cannabis.6,32,38 Regardless of the controversy of the medical indications, the effort to put forward the “liberalization” of medicinal uses of cannabis has led to a complex situation that impacts the public and the healthcare system. This review describes the unique experience, 1-year after the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Thailand. 2. Medicinal cannabis: pharmacology and clinical efficacy Cannabis contains more than 500 compounds, including 2 important cannabinoids; tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis sativa, the species commonly grown in Thailand, has a quite high concentration of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), which binds with high affinity to CB1 and CB2 receptors and provides analgesia, appetite stimulation, and antiemetic effects.2,19 However, by binding to CB1 receptors in the central nervous system, Δ9-THC can induce drowsiness, decrease alertness, impair short-term memory and executive functions, alter judgment, impair psychomotor task performance, psychosis, and exacerbate psychotic episodes.5,33 Moreover, THC also induces cardiovascular adverse effects, including cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, coronary spasm, orthostatic hypotension, and transient ischemic attack.28 Unlike THC, CBD elicits its pharmacological effects (anxiolytic, analgesic, and anticonvulsive effects) without exerting significant activity on CB1 or CB2 receptors. Cannabidiol is not associated with the above-mentioned neurological and cardiovascular effects,2,19 abuse, or dependence. The clinical data regarding the analgesic efficacy of cannabis products in chronic pain are still controversial due to limitation of high-quality evidence.1,11,15,36 The recent meta-analysis by the IASP Presidential Task Force on the use of cannabinoids, cannabis, and CBM for pain management showed no strong evidence to support the analgesic benefit of CBM.11,24 In addition, the defined type, optimum dose, and route of administration of CBM products for each condition are still unknown.33 Finally, even if death from respiratory depression directly from medicinal cannabis has not been reported, the death from cardiovascular disease, death from car accidents, long-term neurological and psychological sequelae, and Cannabis use disorders have been concerning. There is much more information in the link.

Sigh. Another double post. Sorry

I can understand it from the medical point of view, though I would need to try it first. From the recreational view, then it is each to their own, I quit smoking ordinary cigarettes back in 1970 and I quit drinking 3 years ago, when I sat and worked out I was drinking about 3 to 4 bottles of Hong Thong a week. At 78 I really don't want to start anything unless I have to.

Thank you.
