Popular Post webfact Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2023 Picture: Siam Rath Pattaya's new police chief Pol Col Thanapong Photi reacted swiftly to complaints that an automatic vending machine had been set up outside a restaurant on the holiday island of Koh Lan. It was not selling drinks or snacks but marijuana and e-cigarette products. Locals were concerned that not only would the machine make it easy for youths to access the items but it would do damage to the image of tourism on the island, reported Siam Rath. Picture: Siam Rath Chief Thanapong was joined by local police on the island, municipal officals as well as health department staff from Muang Pattaya and Chonburi province. The brightly colored machine was set up outside the Tha Na Ban restaurant. There were twelve buttons to press and a website under the name www.Hashtag-th.com. But there was no owner in sight. The machine was taken into evidence as investigations began into who was behind it. Picture: Siam Rath Button 1 showed a pre-rolled "hang krarok" joint or "squirrel tail" for 280 baht. This would be very expensive for what is basically Thai stick weed. Button 3 appeared to be a vaping device for 440 baht. While #7 were brownies for 250 baht and #12 "Brown Paradise"cookies.

Popular Post mommysboy Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2023 The only thing damaging the reputation of Thailand are the ridiculous laws that stop people harmlessly enjoying themselves: the law against vaping exemplifies this. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CrunchWrapSupreme Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) These must be deployed throughout Thailand immediately to end all the lao khao and yaba fueled rages. Prices will have to come down a bit tho. Edited February 11, 2023 by CrunchWrapSupreme 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
