There's an option on your phone to choose only your Thai sim for outbound usage, but that won't prevent inbound messages from your UK sim.

There are many many more things that are a danger to society in Thailand than weed, I'd say the useless education system is multitudes more dangerous.

Localbitcoins.com should be avoided if you're selling btc in Thailand. I have used LBC(localbitcoins.com) for over 8 years, both buying and selling in the UK & Thailand(almost 15,000 transactions), and whilst it can be an easy transaction(selling your btc in Thailand on LBC), you must be aware that stolen bank accounts may be used to buy your btc, and when the owner of the bank account realises their bank account is being emptied, they'll contact the police, who will contact you, and the end result will be you paying the stolen money back. This comes from first hand experience. I would recommend Bitkub. Once KYC is sorted(no hassle at all linking my wife's ID/bank account etc), the funds are in my bank in seconds.

It seems to be a regional obsession to avoid using anything that belongs to yourself, instead using every single plastic utensil/container you can ponce off the shop/restaurant/stall holder in order to simply throw it into the nearest bush, or as close to a bin (without actually getting it in the bin) as possible.

That'll change as tourist numbers increase(organically, not with empty gimmicks from TAT). In reality though, the market doesn't need renovating, it's perfect as it is, just as it has been forever, leave it alone, stop farting around with things that don't require farting around with. We know the real reasons though, don't we. Money & face.

That woman is highly irritating.

I used to smoke weed to motivate myself, the house was spotless and all chores were completed.

Stress! Wow, my sympathies go out to you!

Strays should be neutered/castrated(not sure what it's called) and housed in sanctuaries funded by the government, especially considering it's the governments fault for not educating it's population against dumping unwanted dogs in the streets.

Same here, if my Lazada order is B223 and I give them B230, I get genuine appreciation, even though it's almost nothing. I just hope that 10 other people do the same in one day so the boy can get himself a well deserved beer at the end of a crappy day of risking his life for bu99er all.

Because of the Chinese travel ban.

I wouldn't shake the hands of the people who attacked me, no matter what the reason was. When people start acting worse than wild animals they deserve a heavy penalty. They disgust me, vile creatures.

Once you've been here a while you know when it's appropriate to tip, and whom it's appropriate to tip.

Let's continue to spread the word of common sense then(perhaps not with the use of a stick, against the owner, in my case), instead of ending innocent dogs' lives.

There's a Pitbull/cross on my soi, the owner lets him wander around. One day I was walking my dog(on a lead & harness) and this mongrel came shooting over, I swiftly levered my dog out of reach but the mongrel was scratching and biting me as it tried to get to my dog, the owner managed to pull the dog away but I was furious, I took my dog home and went straight back out to deal with the situation, I found a large piece of wood from an adjacent building site, and proceeded to chase the mongrel back into it's own yard, the owner sh4t himself and ran inside, locking the gate, rightly so too, as my anger wasn't with the dog, but the pathetic little brainless owner. He couldn't apologise enough, but then explained that this mongrel had in fact had a few other scuffles, and in one instance the mongrel had managed to get the entire head of another dog into it's mouth, and was chomping away on it, and the owner couldn't do anything about it!! Since this incident I've seen the same dog, untied, roaming the soi, whilst the pathetic little man stands there doing pointless little arm-swivelling exercises. So again, it's not the dogs fault, they're bred from wolves, it's instinctive. The owners(controllers) have a responsibility, and if they fail in their responsibilities they should be punished. It's a bit like a man-child blaming his pickup for an accident in the rain...

I don' think it's a fantasy to expect humans to control their pets, it's basic common sense/responsibility. And yes, you're right, if it were my child I'd be livid, but it's not, that's why I have a levelled and reasonable approach to the subject, which is to punish the human owner, not the vicious dog, which was bred by humans, and owned (& not controlled by) humans.

No dog deserves to be put down - only the human 'responsible' for allowing this dog to roam free deserves that treat.

They walk ????

How do you grow *indoors' without the need for pesticides like Brit Man^?

Layman's question: how did they get indoors?

Depends on how much bodily fluid they share.

'Monkeypox spreads in different ways. The virus can spread from person-to-person through: direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids. respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling, or sex.' I particularly like the 'kissing, cuddling' part of monkey contact, although my rashes and scabs also need picking by the monkeys, that's fun also.

He also said he wants to stop people selling garlands etc at red lights because it makes Thailand's economy look bad. A 'genuinely good man' would strive to make the economy better, as opposed to preventing poor people from making money simply to make Thailand's economy look better.

Is it possible that indoor growing negates the need for pesticides so is more organic & is easier to control?

I rode my mountain bike around Bangkok for 10 years without a problem, but nowhere I went in all those years was bicycle friendly, and I went all over the city. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you must have been to 5 of the most calm places in the entire kingdom.
