What really grinds your gears in Pattaya
Behind the Avenue? The Mercure there was always full of Indians and very noisy too. I stayed there a week waiting for my condo rental to become free. It was quite nice except their clients., -

Robert Mueller Warns of Continued Russian Election Interference, US Remains Unprepared
Putin had his "what a sucker" smile! 😁 Quite different from Trumps expression which suggests he's aware he's been fooled, or even worse bullied by Putin! We're not going to know soon -

Why do some Farang worry so much about Thailand being too =hot=?
Dear Folks, Here on these pages, on TV, we often hear Farang complain about Thailand being too HOT! Why is this....anyway? I really cannot understand their complaints. For example.... Anytime I get too hot, I just visit the local AirCon Store, and buy MORE BTUs..... At the moment, I have about 70,000 BTUs going FULL BLAST.... And, for me, it doesn't seem hot here.....not a bit. Therefore, I ask you...... WHY Why do Farang Complain when....it's so easy to moderate the temps just by visiting the local store? When I lived in Hong Kong..... That was the time I REALLY felt HOT.... Hong Kong is actually HOTTER than Thailand, but you would not know unless you had lived there. I am talking....PRICKLY HEAT, Folks....! Wow....! This guy has it BAD! =========== So, anyway, I just do not understand why Farang complain about Thailand being HOT....when..... It's actually NOT. Thailand is NOT HOT.....NOT! Anyway.... Just saying..... I have not had prickly heat in about three decades. I do not welcome it, Mandrake, nor do I run from it. Here is my advice to all you guys who fear the heat, and complain about it: a. Go out and buy premium AirCons. b. When the sales guy tells you that you need X-amount of BTUs for your space....then..... DOUBLE THIS AMOUNT. c. Then sit back, in your lounge chair, with the AC Blasting.....and.... Sip a nice cool Gin and Tonic.....with some girl at your feet, massaging your toes.... This ought to keep you cool, and completely FREE of any complaints about the Thailand Heat..... d. One can NEVER have TOO MANY .... BTUs.... There is NO SUCH THING as too much cooling power. And....No Complaints about Thailand being too hot, which it is NOT..... Compared to Hong Kong in the summer months. Just a valuable reply and observation to all the many comments I have read here about Thailand being too hot.... Which, it's NOT.... Hope this helps. Best regards, Gamma Note: Keep it Cool, through buying BTUs.... No Charge for this good advice. Note2: During the HOT Season, I pile on the wool blankets in my bedroom. Unfortunately, I have only blankets to keep me warm... and.... No dogs No women, either. -

Pager Explosions in Lebanon Target Hezbollah Members 9 Dead Thousands Injured
That's the best one-liner and basis for a meme I've read regarding the exploding pager op. I know what I'll answer the next time a pro-Palestine protester yells, "From the river to the sea," at me. You deserve a big round of applause. -

Thailand Introduces New Bill to Regulate Cannabis While Keeping It Legal
The Cannabis & Hemp Act of Thailand just dropped: 2025 marks the beginning of Thailand's cannabis leadership in the region Keepers of the supply chain face stricter oversight; consumers will be punished with fines for sheer stupidity only. Carl K Linn Thailand unveils new bill to regulate cannabis while keeping it legal As of January 1st, 2025, cannabis consumers in Thailand will have access to the same wide array of dry flower currently available. Bloomberg Big trouble could come to those who break simple rules: Do not smoke in public. Do not consume extracts with more than 2 % THC without explicit permission. Do not consume if you are under 20, pregnant or breastfeeding. These rules have been present for at least one year, with no enforcement. The significance of this final draft is in what’s missing: There is no “illegalization of recreational use” - which, to make any sense at all, would have required reclassifying cannabis as a narcotic. There is no language requiring cards or pre-existing conditions. These conventional barriers to medical cannabis may be added over the next few months - we shall see. This is a clear win for Deputy Prime Minister Anutin: “The easy availability of the drug became a hot-button political issue during the national election last year, with the ruling Pheu Thai Party vowing to re-list marijuana as a narcotic to restrict its use to just medical purposes due to concerns over addiction. But opposition from Bhumjaithai Party, the second-biggest group in the ruling coalition, has forced Pheu Thai to walk back on its pledge and keep the plant legal.” Cannabis in Thailand will be classified as a medicinal herb. Most new restrictions target the keepers of the supply chains, with tighter licensing, and more transparency. Penalties for violation include heavy fines and up to one year in jail.

Thailand Introduces New Bill to Regulate Cannabis While Keeping It Legal
FILE - AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit Thailand has unveiled a new bill aimed at regulating its cannabis industry while largely limiting marijuana use to health and medical purposes. This move comes from Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's administration, striving for a balanced policy after several inconsistent approaches. Published by the Ministry of Public Health, the draft legislation allows the use of cannabis and its extracts for medical treatment and research by state agencies. Additionally, it permits the plant's inclusion in herbal, food, and cosmetic products. Notably, unlike previous proposals from former premier Srettha Thavisin’s administration, this bill does not explicitly ban recreational cannabis use or reclassify the plant as a narcotic. The proposed law, however, includes strict penalties for unauthorised cannabis consumption, with fines reaching up to 60,000 baht (£1,350). Sellers of non-compliant cannabis products could face up to a year in jail or fines of up to 100,000 baht (£2,260), or both. The legislation aims to address the widespread usage of cannabis in Thailand, the first Asian country to decriminalise the plant in 2022. Since then, over 9,400 cannabis dispensaries have opened nationwide, particularly in tourist hotspots and business districts. Cannabis regulation was a significant topic in last year's national elections. The ruling Pheu Thai Party initially promised to reclassify marijuana as a narcotic to combat addiction concerns. However, opposition from the Bhumjaithai Party, a crucial coalition partner, led to a compromise to keep the plant legal, reported BLOOMBERG. The draft bill proposes stringent licensing rules for cannabis cultivation, sales, exports, and imports. Existing growers and suppliers will need to apply for new licenses to avoid hefty penalties, including jail terms and fines. While the proposed legislation could offer a clear framework for the cannabis industry, it poses challenges for growers, dispensaries, and consumer-agro firms. These businesses must ensure their products contain no more than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound responsible for the “high.” Public and industry stakeholders have until 30th September to submit feedback on the proposed bill. The Ministry of Public Health may revise the legislation before presenting it to the cabinet, who will then forward it to parliament for approval. -- 2024-09-20 -

A full medical check up in the Bangkok area?
Was thinking of getting a health check up for my father early 70s no underlying health conditions that are known. Just thought i would be a good idea as has been a while. Was thinking king chulalongkorn as it would be much cheaper than the likes of Bumrungrad and less likely they try to sell unnecessary tests etc. Only question is do you know if you can book appointment with them if you are not already signed up to the hospital. I dont want him to have to go to the hospital sign up then make appointment to come back again another day to do the check up. Prefer if you can book in advance without being signed up to the hospital but not sure if possible? If not perhaps Bangkok Christian hospital would be the next best option or does anyone have any other suggestions for hospital to use for this? Thanks -
