You are correct. HAMAS have zero intention of stopping the slaughter of innocent civilians - women, children and babies. And they kill, rape and torture them close up, with glee. And hide behind and under innocent Palestinians. Wipe HAMAS out I say.

To help you in your moment of need. From the heading of the article. Is cannabis legal for foreigners in Thailand? Know the rules

Why?

According to the 'head of prisons' in a report on AN a while back, thousands of prisoners over 70 years old serve their sentence at home or in hospital.

Interesting that the 'rules' never mention smoking cannabis, just 'consuming' it and only for medicinal reasons.

That is exactly why I want the monitor. The online sites tell me that on Samui, it is in the 60's or lower but south KPN lately has been 120 plus. Where I live on Samui, I am probably closer to KPN than to where the readings are taken here. I am not concerned for me, but if the readings are higher then I will probably buy an air purifier for the old Thai lady that lives next door. She shuts the house up tight at night.

Thanks for that response TGJIB. I had not thought about the power supply. There is one near the place that I had planned to use, but I do not want cables trailing there. I need to find one that runs of AA or AA batteries - similar to the thermometer.

Thank you phetphet and KhunLA. I will look into your suggestions

Thank you both for your suggestion, but I do not think that it will work. I wanted a meter, to place on the wall below the thermometer/humidity meter. See photo. With a meter, I can see what the quality is like where I live, and the staff can also see for themselves instead of asking me. I have no problem with the air quality. I live with all doors and windows open. Even though I have COPD (chronic bronchitis) I can breath well here. (Unless I try and climb hills.)

I am looking for recommendations for an accurate air quality monitor. Whilst the air on our beautiful island is very good compared to most of Thailand, there were a couple of days last week where we were not as clear as usual. The sites that show air quality are not that accurate at a precise location. Good for an overall quality view, but I want to monitor what I am breathing. Moderate 67 AQI US on Friday, according to https://www.iqair.com/thailand/surat-thani/ko-samui Two photos from last week and the last photo is how it usually looks.

Not much help to you but water trucks short deliver as well. Common scam here on Samui.

You are wrong.

Samui is usually pretty good. I have COPD and always have doors and windows open every day. I have no trouble with breathing there. At the moment, it is a bit higher than usual but still OK. A friend living nearby is a chronic asthma sufferer and she is usually OK here is well. https://www.iqair.com/thailand/surat-thani/ko-samui

I never said that. You assumed it. I wrote More traffic means more chance of inexperienced bike riders being wiped out.

You are behind the times PoorSucker. Now six. A new one opened last year. Wattanapat Hospital. Known locally as the purple hospital. https://www.samuihospital.com/en/

That is not a violent dispute. Now that is a violent dispute (with thanks to Mr Dundee)

Very lucky lady, but the pain will be with her forever.

Are you sure that it is a girl? I could not see that in the report.

You missed out the 'medicinal use' is good for humans. No one here is denying that. That is exactly why it was decriminalised. The issue here is recreational use and sucking bad contaminates into your lungs and into the lungs of others. Also, the dangers of driving whilst under the influence of cannabis, and so on.

Are you employed directly by the UK company and paying taxes and NI in the UK? Or are you a contractor/casual worker?

This is the bit that many people choose to not understand. Cannabis was decriminalised . It was not legalised.

It is not quite that simple. As the OP states, he works for a British company. Lots of folk come to Thailand on a business visa and work quite openly and safely for their overseas companies. I did so quite legally back in '93 and I did not need a work permit. I was working here as a representative of a British company. I was paid in the UK and paid taxes in the UK. That is until I had been working overseas for one year. Then I was free from UK tax but still paid NI etc and still worked for the same company. I could also have set up a 'representative' office here for the UK Company and still not needed a work permit. I only worked in Thailand for nine months before having to go to Australia to do the same thing. It all depends on the OP's terms and condition and having a business visa. Having said all of this, I am talking about a previous century. Things may have changed.

Fixed it.

I am looking to buy an air quality monitor. Any recommendations please. Yes, I know that they are on Lazada, but which one would you recommend?

According to the main article, there were four thieves. Not an easy article to follow with all if the 'inserts'.
