  1. My bird would love those. The only ones I can find for her are fried. Ugg.
  2. Rural anywhere preferably in the mountains but within an hour's drive to Big C and Makro for the times of the month that you stock up on food supplies. Living the dream.
  3. I'll pass. Haven't had a flu shot for 17 years; haven't had the flu for 17 years. Go figure. ????
  4. The exact same thing can be said for alcohol. And yet? The divide between alcohol and cannabis is political and driven by profit. If a few connected and selected corporations were assigned a monopoly by the Thai government for the distribution of recreational cannabis - there wouldn't be any problem. The problem is its a free market and isn't controlled by corporate interests.
  5. Khun Anutin has my vote (too bad it doesn't count).
  6. Inflation is global. Interest rates will only head north in next few year. Perhaps rapidly when the EU financial system collapses. Domino effect. Then realize your money in the bank is only insured for ฿1M THB. Don't put your eggs in one basket.
  7. Then you can't see the worms and they are just extra protein. Now doubt wormy saba is endorsed by the WEF. "You'll eat bugs and be happy."
  8. Since legalization I've seem Thai men staggering down the road. Oh wait. No that's not pot - that's booze. The doctors are on a Reefer Madness campaign. I agree. If they want to target something that negatively impacts society, target booze.
  9. There is nothing stopping you from making an appointment with a pulmonary specialist. Here's a list of pulmonary specialist at Chiang Mai RAM. https://www.chiangmairam.com/searchdoctor1?major_id=166&doctor=
  10. The problem is that if you watch Thai TV, all of the news anchors wear masks, all the talk show hosts wear masks, everyone on TV wears masks except on the Thai soaps and movies - on the soaps and movies it's still 'old normal.' The most ridiculous are those wearing plastic face shields with a gap a bird could fly through. Yeah - that will stop those Covid viruses. My guess. Thais will be dutifully wearing their masks just like their beloved TV celebs for months and months to come, if not years.
  11. Don't worry. Just keep those masks on forever.
  12. Honestly. The Thai masses aren't staggering around in a cannibis induced stupor. The effect of this legislation is moderate. People who have smoked will smoke (or people like me who used to, simply have gotten older and prefer a good beer over a joint). People who don't smoke won't. The benefits outweigh the Bhumjaithai 'democratic' parties perception that Thailand will descend into Reefer Madness. It hasn't yet. They should concentrate on the Methamphetamine problem instead. Thailand is being flooded with low cost meth and little is being done. According to my wife, a pill of meth cost about 200 THB years ago but the price is about 10 THB per pill now. It's a major problem in villages where nihalistic Thai youth don't see any future other than a meth-infused existence. It's amazing how many people in our village only have been jail on meth charges. Yet? Bhumjaithai wants to go after cannabis that isn't a problem at all. It tell me that Bhumjaithai party members embrace Machiavellian control of the population. Not a good look for "democrats" who are suppose to embrace liberalism.
  13. Have mine growing in the back outside. Had them in the front but thought it prudent to move them until we find out the specifics of any new legislation. I'll take whatever I can get as I'm using the plant parts for medication as opposed to smoking. For whatever reason I just don't get the same feeling from smoking as I did 50 years ago. I got a rather late start on the growing. Will start much earlier next year.
  14. Source: https://www.sst.dk/en/English/Corona-eng/Vaccination-against-COVID-19 They no longer claim that they do what vaccines are suppose to do: Impart immunity. The Danish Health Authority clearly states, "The purpose of the vaccination programme is to prevent severe illness, hospitalisation and death," and they obviously consider people under 50 not to be at high risk of "severe illness, hospitalisation and death," so the shots are not even offered by the state.
  15. Which is why sanctions on these clowns will never happen. Sad.
  16. How ironic and aptly appropriate.
  17. Do We Betray our Country of Origin, Just through Writing Style and Choice of Words? Even when we try to mask our nationalities? No.
  18. I just can not fathom how driving against traffic is considered to be on par with not wearing a seatbelt or helmet. Not wearing a seatbelt or helmet may be deadly for you. Driving against traffic? You risk killing yourself and taking a bunch of people with you. This is why the fatality figures will not budge. I can only guess that the BIB simply don't care.
  19. For crying out loud. Go see a doctor if you have a problem. There are clinics and hospitals all over Thailand.
  20. I've watched Thais I know get taken by the con. The reason? They are greedy. Simple as that. Oh, and stupid. Greedy + Stupid = Easy Mark
  21. It's past time to retire the Boomers and hand the reins of power to the next generations. Not just Thailand but globally. *Caveat: I'm a boomer.
