If I want to buy cannabis now do I need a license or not yet the license or not yet
I'm reliably informed that most if not all shops in Phuket are operating as normal. I think a few may have closed initially after the original announcement, but as of the weekend just gone it's business as usual from what I'm hearing, certainly in the main tourist areas. I also received an order yesterday from my online supplier which was delivered to my location, so it seems that at least two different parts of Thailand don't seem to be affected by any changes. -

Older Retirees and Younger Partners in Rural Thailand: Accepted or Not?
People mostly don't give a <deleted>. They might gossip behind your back about some stuff, certain % of people love to gossip everywhere Thais no exception, I speak thai and hear it all the time. But farang-thai age gap marriage by itself is common and not that interesting, unless you're both <deleted> around or something. Bigger question is whether farang generally are "accepted" or not? most people are fine with your, nice people are nice, <deleted> people are <deleted>ty. But genuine acceptance into the community? Not sure? Not enough experience. I'm 48, wife 27 from the outskirts of a smaller city. Never had a problem in plenty of time I've spent up there, but wouldn't want to live there permanently myself.- 1

Farang assaulted during accident
Those who called me a coward will be vindicated by this post. I thought what I would have done in the white guy's situation: 1. Don't drive. I've already "not driven" for 11 years here. But, I live in Pattaya and take a lot of girls, so that is another threat vector (girl gets mad, calls some aggressive guy over, or a bouncer at a club instigates etc). 2. Don't let them stand behind you. He just kept standing there talking to his thai lady, saying things like "why does he keep punching me?" "He needs to stop!" In that situation I think the best course of action is to give a shocked look and then move away to across to the other side of the crowd, facing his direction but not looking at him. Now he has to actively keep following you even after seeing your stunned look. In the "thai mob" videos I've seen online the Thais seem to see shock and desperation of the person they are group attacking as the sign that it's enough, "they've won." So maybe this does it. 3. If the aggressor does follow, now you have permission to run. No one including in Thailand has the right to keep pursuing you to punch you in the back of the head every 30 seconds. There is a legal issue of hit and run but if you call the police (which is what he was doing on his phone) and explain the situation, they should understand. -

Thai Baht's Rise in Jeopardy Amid Political Uncertainty File photo for reference only The Thai baht's recent four-month rally faces challenges as political turmoil threatens to impact the nation's economy. According to Christoper Wong, a senior FX strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp, the baht may trade at 32.30 per US dollar (approximately 35.98 Thai Baht) by year-end and into early 2026. This suggests only a modest 0.7% increase from its current level following a 5% surge in the past months.

Foreigners Flaunting Wealth in Thailand: How Is It Viewed?
Load of cobblers. Know several dollar millionaires that choose to live here full time, since Thailand is sound whether one is rich or living by normal means. Would personally divide my time, but majority would still be here.
