People want to dump the dinosaurs and bring in a new generation of change.

What Mister Free Market is telling all of the growers is that the now abundant ganja is over-priced.

Interesting. I just got released and is being processed though Laski. I just have never seen that message before about being "held." The messages are usually just a note about being processed though customs. Thanks. Mods you can close this.

What's this mean: Your item is being held in Customs at 4:45 am on May 8, 2023 in LAKSI MAIL CENTRE, THAILAND. This is a credit card sent to me by my bank in the US. If this is being "held" how do I get it released?

When I used to live in Chiang Mai I lived in a Thai only apartment. It wasn't discriminatory, it was just in the years my wife and I lived there I never saw any long-stay farang in the building, just short timers (OhOHOH <screams as someone gets religion>!!!) But with that said, ganja smoke was not an unfamiliar smell in the complex wafting up from the outdoor courtyard. It wasn't farangs smoking unless they were sharing it with Thai residents. And this back when it was "illegal." Most of the residents worked over on Loi Kroh.

Why worry about free? An experience professional is worth the money without the headache of attachment.

We have electronic gadgets as well as 6 dogs. The dogs are worth their weight in dog food. Early warning, deterrence, teeth...... Much scarier than barbed wire, lights, and cameras, although we have those too.

Perhaps he has a valid excuse. He didn't flee so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Actually, this would be a good use for an AI interface. Let the AI use all of UbonJoe's replies as the basis for queries, and name it Chat_UJ. ???? Now there's a tribute to the man!

AseanNow should archive all of his posts into one Immigration Questions And Answers by UbonJoe and index it for easy searching. Filling his shoes is gonna be tough, so just let his past Immigration posts talk for him from beyond. I can't think of a more fitting tribute to him.

I'm sure he could help us all get our visas to heaven now. ???? <fond smile>

RIP UbonJoe. Now I understand why we haven't heard much from him as of late. He was just an incredibly selfless, helpful moderator. He'll be missed by most of us. Prayers for him and his family. ????

Come to Thailand where 80% of the road fatalities are motorcycles, rent a motorcycle as at 25 years old you're sure you'll live forever and Death is at least 60 years away, get in an accident because every instant of your ride time needs to be devoted to defensive driving, and literally the second you take your eye off the road or get distracted? "Horror Crash." My recommendation to virtually everyone who comes to Thailand on vacation? Don't rent a M/C unless you have a significant amount of experience, and then.....still don't rent a M/C. If you do, make sure your insurance is going to cover you when you go down. Death would be doing the kid a favor although dying at 25 really sucks. Best of luck kid. Very sad.

It just kills you then - "no sweat."

And they want to keep it that way - with 99% of the revenue going to the 99% owning the monopolies. Monopolies detest competition and free-markets no matter how small.

RIP.

"Knife?" A Ginsu for a giant?

What is Chawit's problem. Other than hating Anutin's success?

I've seen plenty of guys hanging the junk over the side of the road and relieving themselves. Nothing new under the sun her other than her friends posing it on social media.

Thanks Jim.

I've seen Dr. Choeng before at his clinic out on Chang Phuak across from the university. At the time I had been to literally five other eye doctors about persisting eye irritation. Some the the responses I got from other eye doctors were amusing although the situation wasn't funny at all. And as well? No one could give me the root cause. They were literally guessing, and guessing incorrectly. Which is extremely sad. There is much difference between the skill level of doctors, which is why when someone refers to all doctors as "experts" I just laugh. Some are; many are not. Dr Choeng figured out the issue in about 5 minutes. I had calcium crystals in my eye-lid that were wreaking havoc on my cornea. He took pictures and showed them to me. I took daily walks around the moat at that time while I lived in Chiang Mai. He suggested discontinuing those walks as his feeling was that the fountains of polluted moat water were either causing or exacerbating the problem, plus he recommended some better lubricating eye-drops which gave me immediate relief. I left CM shortly after that appointment with Dr. Choeng to move to our property in Lamphun. Interestingly enough, once I moved to the rural country-side the problem cleared up. So yes - I trust Dr. Choeng a lot. Excellent choice. I'll be making an appointment.

Well stated. #MeToo. ☹️

60K to 100K a year for vanity? Embrace the wrinkles, enjoy your old age, and don't fret. If you look at all those Super-Stars who have had cosmetic surgery? They almost all look horrid. Those who accept their aging tend to look - graceful and distinguished. An remember - nothing you do to the outside of your body will fix what is inside. Buddhsim 101: "Annica" (Ahh-Nee-Cha) The only constant in this universe is change.

You need to take your computer to a technician (I am making the assumption you are not technically adept - most people are not), have them clone your system (if you can't), install a new higher capacity drive (preferably a 1+TB SSD), and re-image your system, after which "Bob's Your Uncle" and your system will run......well, within the limitations of your other hardware. If you a comfortable doing an image of your drive, Macrium Free does a great job (as long as you have sufficient room on your external drive). Do a complete disk image, have at 1+ TB SSD drive installed, and then restore your entire disk image. Just guessing, but if your "C" drive is "full", my guess (just a guess) is that you have an older system. If your computer is over 5 to 7 years old just bite the bullet and buy a new computer (you'll be happy you did). If it's not "older" than something is filling up the HD capacity and it is beyond the scope of this forum to figure out what that may be. That update is never going to be installed on your system due to space restrictions given the info you provided regarding the remaining space on your "C" drive. Imho, for people who don't really understand how to administer their own home system? ????Just buy a new system with plenty of CPU, RAM, and SSD capacity that is preloaded with Windows (Win11 is probably the best for you as it will not require you to think too hard about it during it's "life-cycle"). Your situation simply screams: "Buy a new computer", and then use the old computer to learn how to run some variation of Linux, which unlike Windows is a streamlined operating system that uses less than 20GB in many cases for the core OS files. Or even load a new copy of Win10 that you can use to experiment on. It's always good to have a second "sandbox" computer to play with and learn on. Things like backing up your system, optimizing your system, breaking your system and fixing it, and loading up different operating systems. Best of luck...........

Nihilism takes another victim. Best of luck.
