Well it could be worse , the Brits could be involved in organised crime like drug (not the odd street seller as the west Africans have that market locked down) , human trafficking …oh no the Chinese Triads have that sorted. Organised crime involving fake businesses and taking Thai jobs ….no the Russians got that market cornered. 🤔….ahh scam call centres scamming thousands of Thai people?? No the Indians and the Chinese are back again in charge of those ops. So the Brits get drunk in a bar and have a little punch up and usually lose because they are 99% of the time drunk as a skunk. It kinda puts it all into perspective doesn’t it , and obviously the petty Brit and other western crimes are committed in the open and being caught on 20 plus camera phones 😂

Low quality man bag , fake roadmen in their black trackis all over here for one thing . Work it out people , the weed market in the UK is a huge lucrative market. The Brits have made many Americans multi millionaires in California over the last 10 years and now many Brits are here to try and do the same. And before I get attacked by the stoner crew , I’m not saying weed is bad, I’m partial myself to a puff even in my senior years , imo alcohol is far worse….so calm down . But the legalisation of weed here has brought organised crime with it. The Chinese, Russians they all know the money that can be made shipping it to the UK, because our UK government will not legalise it . Prices in the UK for high quality weed are ridiculously high and the young Brits of today are not the drinkers the youth of the past were.

Why would it be ? Are you talking about a possible terrorist attack from the usual suspects? Imo it doesn’t take the destruction of the IRGC to give them an excuse to commit a terrorist atrocity in the UK or anywhere else in the west . I for one think they know the Brits are at a tipping point and if they do commit terrorist action on the UK mainland ….i doubt very very much it will be don’t look back in anger ,we can all get along with a few candle vigils this time.

Yeh I agree on that aswell . I was just making the point of that Europe even with the UK out of EU still follows the UK’s lead . But yeh I’m with you on the decision itself 100%

Ark 😂

Right so there’s my answer after all the attacks and negative labels thrown at me like I’m disabled or a meth head you managed to come full circle . Thanks for the eventual response . Wasn’t derailing the thread , I’m an ex grower of plus 20 years and like to smoke occasionally. I was just trying to point out the negative sides of legalisation, like some the types now coming here. Anyway take care and I hope self medication with cannabis works out for you .

Ok I’m wrong about that , I was an ass there .And I got it wrong apologies. So you don’t smoke weed then?

Omg yeh yeh I’m a troll no one engage with me …..end dialogue he’s a troll ….that old chestnut . I think I’m prob right about most people here in this thread are recent additions to Thailand since the legalisation of weed. You can just tell by the sensitivity.

Oh we are already on that level of defensiveness…grammar criticism , should I edit it for you or can you not work it out ….

Trolling about what ? Is smoking weed some special club ya’l in … I smoke from time to time but I’m not some mad gatekeeper around it . I hope they do keep it legalised but It does it needs more regulation not because of the drug itself but the idiots it attracts (esp from my country) who come here and get involved in the export industry . Oh and geezers with top knots should all be expelled but that about it. Chill out

Christ 😂, I take it that’s a yes from you.

Wow stoners get triggered much 😂. Serious question, are a lot of you smokers on this forum relatively new to Thailand and started coming here after legalisation or have you been here years just smoking the crafty zoot undercover up until then?

No1 listens to this UK government yes correct. And not being part of the dying institution that is the EU has nothing to do with it. The UK is still the defacto leader of “Europe” for foreign policy . Look at at how they led the charge for Ukraine as an example whilst not being part of the EU.

Never ever underestimate the Brits even with the useless government they have in place right now .

As a Bristolian yeh his art is great, but just go to Bristol now and see the 80% of crap where idiots think they can tag and spray anything , anywhere including historical buildings. Stupid council wanting Bristol as the graffiti capital of the UK…not all street art is actual art. Even Banky’s street art has been defaced with tagging etc . Bristol is now a leftie 💩 hole and even Banksy is a complete melt…..fwee fwee Hamas <deleted>

In the last 3/4 years the type of western tourist that now come here has drastically changed . I can’t think why in all honesty, obviously it’s not the legalisation of a certain lettuce….. Could be worse though, they could be setting up scam call centres or serving up class A’s on the street at night, taking Thai jobs and working illegally or even involved in organised crime and money laundering.

Yes I can see but you suggested that they weren’t Israeli because of being a soldier in the IDF past or present. My point was that being a soldier or former doesn’t mean you can street brawl no matter what country you served . Anyway pointless debate as they were neither and just a bunch of idiots .

What do you think British troops don’t learn self defence and hand to hand? Even a professional mma fighter or boxer can easily come unstuck in a street brawl. I think you are missing the point . There are so many different situations on a street that can ruin your night no matter your skills .

Being a soldier means nothing in a civilian situation scrapping on a street. Trust me I had plenty of hidings back in the UK in the 90’s/00’s lol

And thankfully Thai immigration is clamping down on the Indians, Chinese and Russians who cause great harm to the country . A few westerners beating up a couple of Arabs is a nothing burger in comparison to what those other nationalities get up to .

Esp the new ones coming for the herb with their man bags and of course the usual suspects we avoid the world over.

Too many of late talking about Thailand and mostly rehashed <deleted>e or misinformation. You get them being here for a month then uploading advice but it’s usually just a copy and paste off anything you can find off the internet that’s been easily available for years. Obviously there are some great ones like from Pat which are excellent .

Ikr , I watch these utube streamers filming all the bars in the red light districts and 💯 they have hidden cameras . I remember around 15 years ago some Swedish couple setting up a camera on a tripod on Sukhumvit thinking it was ok …they soon found out it wasn’t even after I and others gave them a friendly warning. I wonder how many guys playing away have seen themselves on these uploads 😂

I managed to get the 30 days! I took my daughters UK and Thai passport and mrs , who was just taking the piss out of me saying duhhh a lot and the immigration officers were laughing so I figured that’s a good thing ,il continue to be the stupid Farrang . They were laughing about my Pio Pet land crossing in May and couldn’t believe I got stamped back into Thailand. Anyway just figured I would update . Maybe the rules are only forcefully applied but unsaid to certain nationalities ??

Yeh I will get grief , I had some on entry and they knew I had a daughter and family . Oh well I will see on Monday
