Weed is everywhere, why not just buy it at your destination to be safe? But carrying weed on internal flights is supposed to be fine and I know many people who have done it, supposedly no risk. But personally I wouldn't, I would just buy it at my destination.

Yes it is, but he wouldn't be going there - he'd be going straight to the actual criminal section so we should be good for space.

Once I was walking from home to the nearest ARL station (about 3kms) as I couldn't find a taxi. Then it started raining. A motorbike came up behind me, stopped, asked me where to, I told him and off we went. When he dropped me at the station I asked how much, and he just said "no no no" waved and drove off smiling. It was only then I realised he wasn't a motorbike taxi but just a random guy on a bike who saw someone about to get drenched and decided to help. On two other occasions I have had random cars stop in my moo ban as I have been walking (it's a huge moo ban) and offered to drive me to where I was going which I accepted and we talked all the way. Thai people are nice.

Thanks for sharing, there are many good people out there.

Two things: number 1, I don't believe a word of any of that. "Cannot she comes to work at 10:00 to 11:00 am after these taken her children to school and had breakfast with her kids and then finished her shooping for fresh food at the market for the family cook to later prepare the family dinner'. etc etc. It's a fantasy. Number 2, you just typed out several paragraphs. How much time did you save by writing "tsfr" instead of "transfer", and "mngr" instead of "manager"? Just curious.

They didn't claim to have been the first to invent them. The article just said the SRT is trialling the first battery powered train.......and they are.

What difference does it make really over a 12 hour journey?

No they don't. Understand why you are doing it and it is a nice thing. Foreigners who just go around randomly wai'ing bus drivers, people in the street, random strangers, may look odd but generally they will be seen as cute even if they are completely wrong - at least they are making an effort and that is always appreciated in any culture. People who refuse to return a wai are simply rude - just as it would be if you refused a handshake., If you don't understand that then maybe just stick to your own kind (which, judging by the tone of your post, I am sure you do anyway).

Yeah!! And if someone puts their hand out don't shake it, just leave them hanging. And if someone says "hello" to you under no circumstances should you say hello back. What an attitude.....

If you really believe that you are either a) extremely naive, b) an extremely right wing Fox news viewer, c) a child. Take Iraq as one example where they "helped the oppressed and abused people from the abusing regime". Why then, did they supply chemical weapons to that same regime that was used against their own people (gassing of Kurds in Halabja)? And why then did the US veto a UN condemnation of the atrocity? Twice. And why, only six months after the mass gassing, did the US lend Saddam another billion dollars? Not showing much care for the oppressed there were they?

Are you ok?

That looks like the blandest plate of food ever.

And how many "strong countries" has the US challenged in the last 50-60 years? Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama, Ecuador, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam (got their <deleted> kicked), Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan.... Not many superpowers in that list are there? Seems America just likes to bully the weak countries of Southeast Asia, Central America and the Middle East.

I just did the same. Shhhhhhhhhh!

I actually agree with you. I was initially replying to a poster who said it was madness and greed to let "the Chinese" in, when it clearly isn't as we need to move on. Thailand did a good job in removing inbound restrictions, it would be ridiculous to bring them back again. Get vaccinated / boosted, take sensible precautions and live life.

True, but I think a high percentage of those deaths were unvaccinated people. Get vaccinated, move on. Nearly everyone I know has had it at least once (some up to three times), I have, sadly, known two people who have died but both were unvaccinated. We can't keep the world under lock and key forever. Get vaccinated, move on.

Yeah we should all just lock ourselves up forever. The world has moved on.

Why do you come here if it is so disgusting and abhorrent? Genuine question. (And maybe stay in a nicer hotel next time)

Who's worshipping him?

Yes, the Thais just made it up and said the IATA predicted that, they never thought they would get found out. Well done you!! (I found it quite easily - actually predicting up to 258m by 2037)

Hmmmm, let's see. Replies above.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

You literally just copied and pasted that from Quora and posted it as your own opinion, that's one of the saddest things I have come across. Why would you do that? https://www.quora.com/Is-Thai-food-overrated-or-is-it-all-down-to-the-taste-buds And then you didn't include the last sentence, or the first one. Do you not have your own opinion?? Wow. Just wow.

I'm pretty sure people just generally eat what they like and no-one bases their dietary choices on "faux polls". And amusing all the Thai food haters on here with the predictable "Thai food is junk" comments. Yawn. Personally I love most Thai foods but I really can't get with Kaeng Som, it's not for me at all. But who cares?

And how do you know Thais were not being charged the same? Any evidence? Have you been to Safari World? 100 baht for a small bucket of half rotten bananas to feed the giraffes......the same price for Thais and foreigners. Rip off? Yep. Worth making a big deal about? Nope. Should I let my kids just enjoy the experience and make a note not to go back? Yep. Should I go with my kids, buy some overpriced bananas then go back to the vendor if the giraffes don't eat them, call my wife and get her to ask for a refund? How ridiculous would that sound? That is exactly what the OP did.
