  1. I have read numerous claims that the cannabis industry is a boon to the local economy, but have so far seen little hard evidence or accounting that backs this up. What is this websites experience for example? Have advertising revenues from dispensaries since legalisation gone through the roof ? I see new shops open and close all the time, but learning if Thaivisa has been able to successfully leverage this cultural change, I will be much more convinced that some of the Anutin hype is actually valid. Maybe the mods could chime in with some enlightening stats?
  2. Clearly nobody in the Aseannow office speaks Chinese! 'Tu Hao' is not a nickname but a derogatory Mandarin slang term for a very specific kind of Nouveau Riche businessman, usually one who was until very recently a simply peasant, and who lacks any kind of culture or sophistication.
  3. Do you have any experience you can share? Did immigration not require an agent?
  4. Is there any way to get a Non-O volunteer visa without having to pay 40,000 baht to an agent?
  5. Agreed, that is why I was asking about long term rentals.
  6. I could only find short videos of their antics on Youtube. I was really looking for something a bit more in-depth, like a full length nature documentary. Do you have any links like this?
  7. Are there many decent long term rental options in Chiang Saen?
  8. I have stopped over a few times in Chiang Saen on the way down from Xishuangbanna and really like the laid back feel of the place, but it has been a while since I was last there. Is there anybody here already living there? If so, what is it like, and what are the options for retirees in the area? My thanks in advance.
  9. I have a couple of mynahs nesting in my fire escape. They are fascinating creatures to observe, but I wish I knew more about them. Does anybody know of any useful resources regarding mynah bird behaviour and communication?
  10. No mention of the Burmese gas fields? Are the stats in this article really reliable?
  11. Does anybody know the songthaew routes and colours in Petchaburi? How do you get from downtown to Big C for example?
  12. Thank you for the replies. They are the same majestic species that lines the 200 year old Lamphun Road in Chiang Mai. This makes me think, that this stretch near Phetchaburi was also some part of an older route before the main highway was built. It sure looks that way on Google Maps.
  13. On the section of highway between Thayang and Phetchaburi, close to Outlet Mall https://www.google.com/maps/place/%E0%B ... 99.9168784, there are lots of incredibly tall trees, that I have rarely seen elsewhere. Does anybody know what species of tree these are and how so many have managed to survived at this particular location?
