  1. Well it's an issue with kids in my wife's family and they're smoking it at school too. I also have personal experience of the possible long-term effects on some who develop schizophrenia. I have been employed to support 2 in the UK. Young men in their early twenties unable to work and on powerful anti-psychotic medication for life. Their lives ruined by their old hippy generation parents allowing them to smoke it from their their early teens. And don't tell me it doesn't affect your brain. That's why you smoke it! When I was young we used to call it getting 'f u c k e d up' and for good reason because that's what it does to you. I stopped smoking it myself when I realized it was affecting my practical common sense thinking which we all need to get through life, especially our working life. If I was a rockstar or working in the creative arts I might think differently.
  2. What is this all about? Please explain.
  3. And the alarming numbers of young Thai kids now smoking regularly before their brains have finished developing is also a serious issue. So I am pleased about this legal backtracking.
  4. Yes I questioned it. I even printed The 2 month requirement as shown on the Bangkok head office immigration website, but it did no good! There is a dinosaur in charge at NKP IO.
  5. And some awkward IO's like mine still insists on 3 months before extension not two.
  6. They want them to be sober when they fall asleep at their desks in the afternoon!
  7. Where is your source for this and what is the date?
  8. Just trying to raise people's awareness. Keep your head in the sand by all means.
  9. The sooner the better! Then this beautiful planet will recover.
  10. If you look at Nestle's track record; baby milk, water exploitation, etc., they are absolute bastards! I try to avoid buying their products.
  11. How do they know which country you are in when you apply online?
  12. Can anyone say from experience what the current procedure and waiting times for applying for a tourist visa or any other visa at Vientiane are please? It used to be to book appointment online, attend appointment to submit application and return the following day to collect it.

  14. Welcome to Thailand's wonderful immigration bureaucracy.....nightmare.
  15. Once transfered to a federal court, It will reach the Supreme Court where Trump appointed judges ensure the majority and they will acquit the a r s e h o l e!
  16. Myself and a friend both had this same experience last year in Nakhon Phanom. Both had visits from the Neanderthal Gestapo a couple of weeks after extension. What pissed me off was they came at 9:15 on a Sunday morning when they said on the phone they'd be there 11: 15. Then they demanded photocopies of three documents that had just been submitted for the extension! I would have told them I would submit them in the week ahead but my girlfriend who happened to be there scuttled off to get them. They also wanted a neighbor to confirm that I lived in my apartment, but I only have one apartment neighbor and he was gone for the weekend. So they had to be content with my girlfriend who does not live there as witness. And the rest of the block was virtually empty. I don't know any of them anyway. They took photos) video of me giving her son breakfast and went away contented. Although they did phone my girlfriend later that day when we were out cycling asking for a photocopy of her house book. She forgot all about it that day but they called again and she took it into the immigration office on Monday or Tuesday. Not enough work I suppose for all those immigration jobs that have been purchased. Especially with more and more paperwork being done online.
  17. This is exactly why I limited my stay to 179 days last year. I'm sure the tax I'd pay would be miniscule but I just don't want any more time wasting brain numbing irrational authoritarian Thai bureaucracy than l get already from Thai immigration.
  18. Depends on your age. Vitamin D is produced naturally in the skin but as we age, as with everything else sadly, it's efficiency deteriorates. You can always get your vitamin D levels checked with a blood test; 900thb at my local government hospital. Mine was 90 which was flagged as far too high. But the latest soyence recommends 100 to 150.
  19. The recommended dose is way out of date. Vitamin K2 is the only thing needed to counteract the side effect of calcium remaining in the blood. Follow Dr John Campbell ( well respected retired NHS doctor) on YouTube If you want to keep up with the research. Just watch him for 5 minutes to realize he is no quack YouTube doctor.
  20. Boost your natural immunity by taking 10,000 iu Vitamin D3 + 200ug Vitamin K2 daily. Since Covid there has been mounting research evidence showing that this protects you as well as any vaccine.
