Thailand’s experiment with weed goes up in smoke
fvw53 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
On CNN the neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta made detailed reports that unitl now nobody died of overdose cannabis and that it helps a lot of people for pain management (you can find on Youtube under the name "Weed") I believe cannabis is very damaging for the longs if you smoke it but I see no problem to swallow it / I never touched it but I would like to be availabe in case I am affecting by a long and painful illness. However I agree also that the business should be strongly regulated. -

It is a matter of being well organised. Stalin said the people who vote are not important, all depends on the people who count the votes (as we can notice in the US elections) -

There is a new regulation for those with extension based on 800,000 THB in the bank I have to report to Immigration with update of my bank book in July after 3 months (to check if the 800K are still there) and in October after 6 months (to check if I have still 400K left) Question : I plan my summer holidays in Europe in July and August : what should I do ? Did any Forum member had to face this situation?

Thanks to the Forum members who replied. My extension based on retirement with 2 months money in the bank was accepted (although I/O papers want 3 months for a first application but as I was already in their system with previous extensions based on marriage they made it easy) I am still married but just tired of the increasing paperwork to get an extension based on marriage. Until 5 years ago I/O accepted an affidivit supporting by a printout of my government pension / then my signature had to be legalised by the Embassy / then further legalisation at the CW Consular department became necessary etc etc... I am not blaming the I/O who told me how many "fake" declarations of income were noticed the last years by Immigration Head Office.

For more than 10 years I have obtained an extension of a Non Imm-O based on marriage and 400,000 THB in the bank 2 months before the new application (in fact I never touched the money). Now I want to switch to the less complicated extension based on retirement. 1) on 2 February I increased my bank account to 800,000 THB 2) my previous extensions always ended on 27 April 3) I thought to go now on 3 April to make the application for a "retirement" extension because I have then the 800,000 THB in the bank for 2 months 4) Could I be refused this extension because I/O wants this 800,000 THB in the bank 3 months before the application? I that case could I apply for a one month extension first (up to 27 May) and then apply for a "retirement extension" after May 2nd?

Search on for a pickup truck owner who may have the caesium-137

Is this a repetition of the drama which happened a long time ago when thieves of scrap metal also took radioactive rods from a hospital and I believe one of them died? -
I tried to find the Health and Medicine Forum but I failed

Sorry I cannot find the old topic "Health and Medecin" so I try this "General topic" I bought from Lazada some NMN powder of which I am supposed to take one "scoop" a day.....but no sample of a "scoop" was added. Is "scoop" in the AngloSaxon world a standard way to measure weight ? How many mg of this powder should be in one "scoop" ? Is there any comparison with one flat teaspoon or one flat tablespoon ?

Many times the word "tribal" should be better than "racist".....indeed workers from Poland look not different than workers from the UK -

It illustrates the danger of referendums in which badly informed people vote based on a gut feeling / also referendums should obtain at least 60% to be credible -

Do you mean that the UK should then also leave NATO ? -

Why not mention the freedom which came with Brexit to negotiate "free trade" deals with Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji etc...

For the first extension I thought it was 3 months and only later on 2 months
