Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
More from ChatGPT, although I'm not sure it's a 100% accurate data. I would suggest verifying the information for yourself with a local clinic when obtaining your prescription: In Thailand, legal medical cannabis use is based on a prescription system. To be fully compliant, patients must obtain a valid P.T.33 prescription from a licensed clinic or doctor. This prescription allows legal purchase of cannabis products from licensed dispensaries and is valid for 30 days. Many clinics also offer a one-year smart card for convenience, which links to your patient record and makes monthly renewals easier, though it is not legally required for possession and this is only issued by doctors and clinics and not an official card provided by the government. The typical cost involves a fee of around 500 Baht for the one-year smart card and a monthly fee of around 200 Baht for the prescription. The P.T.33 form must be surrendered to the dispensary for their records when making a purchase, meaning you will not have it in your possession afterward. Some clinics may also provide an optional medical certificate describing your condition, but this is not necessary to meet legal requirements. If you are ever questioned by authorities, the most important thing is to be able to prove you have a valid, active P.T.33 prescription. Since you do not keep the physical copy after purchase, it is a good idea to take a photo of it and keep purchase receipts from your dispensary. The smart card alone is not enough to prove legal possession. In summary, staying legal requires keeping your monthly prescription up to date and retaining evidence of it even after you surrender the form. A smart card and receipts help but do not replace the legal necessity of a valid prescription under Thai law. -

Community Concerns Raised Over Iranian National Living on Pattaya Beach
In Europe they don't have to check in every 90 days, there isn't really a comparison. The guy is " living" on a beach; he hasn't been given a hotel room like in England. Even then he was kicked of the beach! LOL -

Report Thailand Named World’s Safest Holiday Destination in 2025
I was walking near my hotel The Cockpit in Singapore and hailed a taxi . It was a police car and they didn’t smile, just left, but a few minutes later a taxi turned up and said the police had called them for me. Nice. -

Visa run limits
I have been doing this (VE 1-2 months in Thailand, 1-2 months elsewhere, total less than 180 days per year in Thailand) for 3 years (and before on TV for even longer) and was questioned twice, but finally let in. I'm planning to get a DTV. In your case, I would try until you get questioned, but have the relevant documents (20k THB proof of funding and flight out of Thailand) ready every time you enter. -

Report Sex Scandal Shakes Thai Buddhism: Monks Defrocked Amid Allegations
My Thai in-laws were born and raised in a village near Ayutthaya. I've been there for tamboon for the mother and remembrance for the father, who emigrated from China before WW2. In the last 18 years a new temple has not been completed. The abbot is said to have at least two common law wives which he provides with housing, food, and more. I've asked his monks when the temple will be finished. One even rolled his eyes. Family living there say they donate less and less to this abbot. My Chinese sister-in-law has a stepson who takes drugs, does not work, and will join the monk hood for a few months as a breather. Then go back to drug use and goofing off. He set his stepmother's house on fire and is in jail now. The Chinese father had two wives, one from China and one in Thailand. He had 15 children with them. My wife is the baby at age 79. She has one surviving brother and two surviving sisters. There are about 300,000 monks in Thailand and up to 85,000 novices and those numbers fluctuate. That 410 Billion baht owned by abbots, monks, and the support structure is one scandal. We'll say a conservative $12 Billion U.S. dollars. I've been married 53 years. We have five adult children, all married, and 12 grandchildren aged 13 to 30. Buddhism does some good in Thailand overall but the corruption is intense. Terry ( a few miles south of Hua Hin ) . . . -

Community Concerns Raised Over Iranian National Living on Pattaya Beach
I'm a bit worried if these Iranians team up and go on a robbing spree which as Shia Muslims is perfectly acceptable if their victims are "infidels" ie non Muslim. The tone of Pattaya may well change.
