Reefer Madness!

Have you run the network checks?

This is what Connda (me) wrote: "Will you support laws and regulations that will limit your personal movement to no more than a 15 minute drive from your place of residence in order to save the planet from man-made global warming?"

Excellent point given the current inflationary spike in energy prices that looks as though it will decimate "pubs, restaurants and cafes as well as the other remaining businesses." What happens when government edict causes the collapse of the businesses within you 15 minute zone, as well as the supply-chains that were supposed to keep you high-and-dry living in a green utopia? Then you can't find enough food, there is no places to socialize, you can't afford to stay warm in the winter or cool in the summer, and you can't leave. Then what? Are the architects of 15 minutes cities taking this into account? Do they care? Yeah - good observation!

Let's come back to the statement in 2030 (if we are all still here that is).

Unless you are part of "The big club and you ain't in it" as George Carlin so aptly pointed out. The Jet-Set crowd will still jet-set, there will still be Formula One races, and polo with big, methane farting horses, they'll still be Kobe Beef for the Ubermenchen. The newly "wilded" forests will be the private Sherlock Forest and hunting reserves for these special-people - Gulfstream Aerospace will still be making money hand-over-fist producing private jets, luxury cars will still abound. For the billionaire class and their political friends, the world will be their personal oyster. You and I and 7.8 billion others will simply not be part of that "Freedom Club." That's the price for saving our planet - right? ????

Sorta off topic, but what the hey? It's my Op. Love the "Signature!" ???? Good stuff from Ben. I bet those guys, like Mr Franklin, in the late 1770s couldn't ever have envisioned "15 minute cities" by government edict. <----- bringing it back on-topic <laughs>

Well stated!

Pound the one-eyed trouser-trout. By the way. A more apt question would be, "Did you stop masturbating after you came to Thailand?" Even the homeliest Incel can get laid here. Then to the OP. You do understand that women go through menopause in their late 40 and through their 50s, and at the end of that joyless experience, many women's sex drive drops to about zero. As they say, it takes two to tango. If you have a post-menopausal Ice-Queen for a wife, another good question would be - "Have you ever purchased consensual sex with a willing sex worker in Thailand?"

A joke I learn in my youth. There are two types of men. Those who masturbate and those who lie about it. However - it's not a joke, is it? Men are wired to be promiscuous and to spread their seed. Natural hormonal urgency an our sex drive is a yoke we deal with from our pubescent youth. Probably the kindest act from that bi$ch, Mother Nature, is that the male sex drive wanes as you reach your elderly years and gives you a bit of reprise. Did I "choke the chicken?" Yeah, who didn't? Oh? The "liars" didn't. This is a quote by Robert Heinlein that has stayed with me most of my life: Masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free of any possibility of wrongdoing —and you don't have to go home in the cold. But it's lonely! Source: Time Enough for Love (1973)

Five letters says it all: K-o-r-e-a

You can buy Tramadol OTC here. Most pharmacies will carry Tramadol And Acetaminophen (Ultraset) 37.5mg/325mg. Some (few) will carry Tramadol 50mg caps. It's not really an opioid and it really doesn't kill pain. It alters how you perceive pain. Good for short term use and even then you'll probably go through minor withdrawal depending on dosage. Tintcure of opium (Laudanum). Best of luck finding that. Take a vacation in Myanmar while you recover. Easier to find there would be my guess. Ever go through opioid withdrawal before? Best of luck.

Constipation which is common for opioids and opioid-like drugs. Not a good idea to clog up the works if the OP has had surgery.

And pay a fine for your Thai landlord as immigration will never go after a Thai landlord - just you farang.

Your IO sure likes to make you dance.

I've been caned in both in both UK and US schools. Rite of Passage in many ways, but it seems Thais go overboard on the corporal punishment. "Fighting" is only a 500 THB fine, so if my own grandkids came home black and blue, I'd consider decking the person responsible as there doesn't seem a be a legal recourse. My father threaten that approach in England and I was never hit again (leave the Yank kid alone). I was in High School in the US and simply laughed it off - I don't ever remember telling the parents as we got "The Paddle" for a reason. <laughs> It seems it is not 'illegal' in Thailand and seems to be implicitly condoned by school admins. Very young kids getting caned. Yeah - I'd put an end to that with if it was my own family members affected.

It makes me wonder if Thai immigration will get with the program if the Thai government implements travel restrictions. Knowing Thailand (TIT), they probably would insist you travel 100km to your "nearest" Immigration office, and then issue you a fine for traveling outside of your "zone." ???? Hummm.

Just curious. Is a TM7 required to be in your passport now? Mine is over 14 years old and getting rather ratty. If only needed for my annual visa extension (I do 90 day reports online ) then I may take it out of my passport, put it in an envelop, and file it with my immigration paperwork in my file box.

And suddenly there are bank runs! In this particular day and age banks are going to do what they need to do to stay solvent and liquid.

Fly.

My suggestion is to wear one and then get back to the forum in a month and let us all know how it worked out for you.

Khun Gun-Cha for PM! ????

Nor I, and like you? I'd discuss the endemic safety issues associated with these 'thrill parks' with anyone in my party or family who were interested. If you get hurt because of a Thai business's negligence? You are not going to be compensated. You'll probably be writing home for someone to start a Go-Fund-Me page for you as even your insurance company will probably deny your claim as well. A fruit basket and flowers aren't covering your million THB hospital bill or multi-million THB air-evac. As for the guy who was bungee jumping. He should thank God there was water under him.
