Cannabis Bill fails, Thai Smile engine (and business) failure : Tim Newton Today - Feb 24

[webfact]

 

The Cannabis Bill in Thailand has now been rejected for the fifth and final time in this session of parliament, what happens next? A Thai Smile flight has an engine failure and bad landing in Phuket... much the same with their business model. The latest on the death of Duangpetch Phromthep n the UK. Reports on increased depression among Thai youth, methamphetamine use is also increasing around Thailand, tubing down the Mai River in northern Thailand. A death from H5N1 virus in Cambodia sparks an alarm. And a quick cameo from Jett!

I don't understand what this is about. Is this "cannabis bill" a back-tracking on legalisation? Or is it a endorsement of legalisation?

 

In this article I see cannabis linked with 1) near plane crash 2) meth use 3) death of a Thai citizen in the UK 4) death from the H5NH virus. Other consequenses of legal cannabis, like the war in Ukraine and the Earth quake in Turkey, are missing.

So bye to Thaismile.

Now expect either real low cost service (everything cost extra from starting price) or prices rising sharply.

After COVID the experience was getting worse. Short notice reschedule, hour long delays plus the slow bag handling at Suvarnabhumi.

Next month will go by car although I don't love it.

Why does one need to read Tim Newton, when he read all news earlier before???

Anutin is a talentless and pointless waste of space. He made a total hash (it's a pun) of the introduction of legalising the growing of cannabis plant, confusing people with by not mentioning the difference between cannabis oil and weed.

God help Thailand if he's in the next government....but he will be as head of BJP.

Yes.  It is very depressing that he will be the next Prime Minister of this country.
