So far it's been only blablabla

Trolling.

Think you'll have to wait till next year, and see how many licenses to operate are issued / renewed.

 

Didn't realize there were so many, about 12,000 nationwide, and Phuket has about 1500 alone 

 

Nothing like shooting themselves in the foot ... som nam naa

So much hot air from a Health Minister that seems to have no issues in breaking the laws himself. Many lawsuits are heading his way because HE hates weed.  Either vote it out legally or prepare for lawsuits not only from growers but from those the police harass. Current PM just another Thaksin power hungry nut that won,t last long.

With this low season turning into a slow low season my guess is when they can't pay rent the doors will close

Seriously doubt much if anything is going to change at this point.

5 of the 7 in my soi have closed within the past month.

I guess many don't see a customer for days and just close anyway, tourist numbers have dropped, and I would say expats order online for a better price. I know I do

In the far south now mostly Muslims and so far shocked to find three shops within a very short distance from my hotel and my guess there are more in town I have not found yet. None of the owners mentioned anything out of the ordinary. Three days foreigner count 1 and that is me. 35 baht a gram and just fine.
