Why knock it, and why go to a religious country like Thailand when your atheist home country beckons? Are you a masochist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not 'proud' at chucking them out. It was my job. And I did not 'direct' them onto their motorbikes. I was amazed. I could not believe it. And quite a few more 'stoned out of their heads' since then. It not not a resort, nor my property. Nice try at a misquote. Back to the drawing board? Well my recollection regarding what you posted is somewhat different than yours, I actually replied to your comment at the time, stating how irresponsible your actions were, and asking if you would do the same if they were drunk. But nice try at wriggling out of it I am almost inclined to trawl through my post history to find a few quotes, not only to confirm what you wrote, but also to debunk the myth that cannabis adversely affects ones memory, but, unsurprisingly I couldn't be arsed I find it very difficult to believe that anybody who has spent 20 years in the hospitality industry has never encountered any problems with a drunken guest, where were you working? at a teetotal temperance retreat ?

ignore it Posted Thursday at 01:18 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:18 PM The only thing that would put me off the weed might be an intrusive advert that I couldn't escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad enough having to check them out of the villas, but then when I see them getting on a scooter or into a car and driving off - that is a real danger to innocent people. And before we get the distractors, in more than 20 years in the hospitality business, I have never had a problem with a drunk guest. Sorry, you're full of it. We all live here and stay at resorts. Maybe in the last week? Recreational cannabis though can be problematic but comparing it to alcohol is silly. Just watch all the drunks causing mayhem on Youtube here in Thailand. Now compare that to stoned fools. Maybe people just like filming drunks... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely feel very sorry for anyone who has such a miserable life. I guess all the religious people are firmly grounded in reality then. An almighty, omnipotent entity that created everything and that nobody has ever seen and there is no evidence of is reality. I'll take the alcohol and the odd puff over that any time.

I genuinely feel very sorry for anyone who has such a miserable life. What about those that do these things socially and don’t need them to ‘escape reality, whatever that means’? Would that be acceptable to you or still get all bent out of shape? Why are you even concerned at what others do or don’t do? I genuinely feel sorry for those that judge or control others. Actually really yanks my chain, like this shyster, fake pissant government. Pure agenda. Leave people alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted Friday at 04:02 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:02 AM Is it just yet another smoke screen for something much bigger happening behind the curtains? I - for one - never tried the stuff and have no intention to start now. Most of these weed shops are empty, the hype is over and will settle to what the market can absorb. The move was brilliant as it de-criminalized the trade (which takes place irrespective of legality) and I do not think that it would create more "customers". Maybe one or the other will try it once and conclude that it is not worth the (legal) money. Thepsuthin's statement would have to rechecked, the 100,000 people questions (I question the figure already) were from all walks of life, all over Thailand and all over gender/age range?

Smilin in Thailand Posted Friday at 05:23 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:23 AM Thepsuthin's poll is clearly contrived. Why? Read the comment section of any post on this topic and the overwhelming majority of them speak in favor of keeping recreational cannabis legal. True even at the Bangkok Post website. Furthermore, almost all comments in favor of reclassifying cannabis as a narcotic are suspiciously troll like. 20 years in the hospitality industry and never seen a drunk customer? Absolutely ludicrous, when they're people drinking their fill every single night at these places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" as in you might so speak for yourself and perhaps those who may agree with you. You certainly don't speak for me. I don't think I know anybody who lives in a resort permanently, and most of the people that I do know, farangs and Thais alike, live in houses with their families, over their businesses or in condos.

Bangel72 Posted Friday at 05:52 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:52 AM Interesting turn around in the poll results. Earlier in month it was inferred most voters wanted regulation over criminalisation. Suspect that triggered a few more voters. might be worth looking for anomalies in voting. Some pro groups were asking customers to provide feedback via the and were open about this, guessing some anti groups did the same once it was felt the results did not match what they wanted.

I can't remember ever staying at a resort in Thailand, even when I was working here. Probably because I was moving every day to another job somewhere else. I used to live in Bangkok on Friday and the weekend, then back up to the Issan region from Monday to Thursday night and back to Bangkok for the weekend.

But here it seems weed is available on every corner with big advertisements. That looks like 100% recreational usage to me. Personally, I think having it legal is better than illegal with gangs. But it must be properly regulated. Advertisement and open sales everywhere are not good for the nation's health. The THC isn't controlled, so organized crime will have a hand in this, they must have thought Xmas came to their doorstep, it's making certain people filthy rich, just as casino's will, and the nation will get sicker, the poor will become poorer and crime will get worse and worse, casino's changed NZ,crime increased, drug use is out of control, does Thailand think this wont happen, it's only about money.

Illegal casinos are all over Thailand. I "knew" one between Sukhumvit Soi 5 and Soi 7. They didn't even try to hide it. And every time I walked by it was full of people, including police. Making the existing casinos legal and tax them might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
