get good earplugs: problem solved! ????

this is Meanam area where I used to live. yr location is good, anything you want is nearby, even a walking street!

most people see it as a weakness to seek help from a psychiatrist/psychologist.

it is not 'manly' to do so, many of their friends will shame them!

this is the main reason many Thais have mental problems and don't seek help...

cheap solution for locals to escape from their problems is yaba and booze.... that these problems are not solved the next morning does not keep them from doing so again and again...

So did Thailand officials really let her stay as reported....or was it due to the UN intervention?

My guess is the latter!

Tland was to busy avoiding loose face towards Birma

However, all foreigners, including expatriates, are likely to be charged the fee whenever they fly into Thailand.

So not just for tourists as the headline suggests.

 

This is because airlines are only able to recognise passenger information, such as nationality, and not the immigration status of a foreign national residing in Thailand.

The easy answer to this would be to have a refund system in place for those eligible.

 

did you ever try to get a refund here? and how quick did you get it?

I'm sure íf refunded there will be deductions for some expenses...

just smoked a bong and drank kratom-tea...

that's a weird combi: the one goes up, the other brings you down...

When you opened an account, you agreed to their terms and conditions, which say that it's your responsibility to prevent unauthorized access to your banking app.

in Tland they just changed insurance/guarantee of bankdeposit to max 1 million baht... was in the news last week or so.

Yes, I had heard something about that, but they haven't done a complete U-turn and gone back to total prohibition.

   Not yet, anyway.

they certainly did not walk back and a Uturn won't happen... it's well integrated in dutch society, can buy herb in coffeeshops all over the country, even products made from ganja are widely available and sold. here in Tland the plant is legal now, even the buds, but products of it can not contain thc over 0.02%.

overall it seems better to legalize it so quality-control can guarantee good outcome! ????

wow, amazing how far Carabao slides away from it's original market. now it's just bizznizz and even better: money-bizz!

they became who they were protesting at in the early days... real pity!

Maintenance is not a word used in Thailand. Same with their cars and bikes.  Never change the oil, brake pads, chains, tyres etc. That costs money !  

don't forget houses, once they're build and sold detoriation marches in and within a year can see molds, leakage etc

it's all a big misunderstanding! ????

To those living in Thailand, how was the mask holiday? Did you enjoy it? 

 

Masks back on this time next week

I'm living in NorthTland, when going in a mall, shop or busy market I just slip on facemask, no big deal.

don't know what the fuzz is that you imply...

and yet you don't live here but still make this weird comment!

sure, I think it's strange to wear it when on motorbike or even bike, but in the recent past we had serious pollution problems (farangs call it "smokey season") every year so we got kind of used to it.

for me no problem to wear a mask when close to other peeps, because I don't want to pick up anything from others...

about 12 yrs ago I had several complications with my eyes, after solving this the Cataract operation was a minor detail! all at Sriphat  dr Janejit, female specialist, she literally saved my life.

highly recommendable!

maybe dr Paradee came in her place! I would trust that whole department.

St Peter's on Superhighway I found to commercial and Ram-hosp to expensive!

Surely the guy is either extremely vane or knows that he has the country by the balls and fears a punch in the face

I think all this force on the road is just because there's nothing else much to do ànd simply because they can...

The army Generals ratio must be up there as well.

I believe I've read somewhere that Tland has highest number of generals in the world...

they want the Travel Pass back asap..... Try to plan a trip is very difficult, because if I book now for October I don't know what will happen if I come back.

the word "planning" is not in thai dictionairy!

everything happens "ad hoc"!

Well, it's not rocket science, just say no!

this new law is mainly for thai people, like locals who grew it already for generations!

older lady across from where we live has a few plants for making tea, that relaxes her before going to sleep!

marihuana has many medical benefits!

this is another article of the anti-weed-lobby!

similar as the man cut of his prenis!

such complete nonsense!

who thinks of checking  primary schools etc for not put ganja in food or pudding: over-careful and unneccessairy! 

but if they want to do it right, then check also all the stalls & sellers of junkfood, like look-chin and other fried stuff, and all the sweet stuff full with taste-enhancers, artificial coloring etc etc.

their worries are very selective...

Well we don't know if either of these things are true and it's most likely neither so let's not put the cart before the horse eh? Never heard or seen reported any mass poisonings due to cannabis in my lifetime.  This...

"dizziness and nausea after consuming food or drinks thought to contain cannabis."

Is a pretty baseless statement lacking any real proof. Food or drinks? Thought? 

 Don't believe a word of it.

 

sounds to me like very psychosomatic! they believe it so strong so that it happens!

they should be well informed, this is all in the beginning of this change, later everyone will be used to it! ????

I don't understand why they must make exception for FullMoon Party, I thought it says clearly: "not to be used in public"!?

25+ years ago I lived in Samui, I think I was the only one who did not go to FMParty... I saw them come back next morning, totally  worn out...

before that time we used to have full moon gatherings on Chaweng, a few boxes of beer, a couple joints were passed around and we played guitar and sang together...

that's how they started in Phangan as well...

then the cops came, stating smoking pot was dangerous, could not be done anymore, so from those days onwards most patrons popped pills and drank booze for years...

and nów the locals object to ganja at FMP because it could effect the local youth???

they never worried about that when all crazy drugs and combinations were used???

we call this hypocritical!

nice and firm pointing here  I'd say a solid 7! ????
