      Silver coins & crypto with VPNs looks not to bad. Can't clip the tax ticket if they don't know about it. It's been a law here for ages that a gift over $500 should be taxed as well as any barter.

      It’s undeniably better than cash or credit cards. Digital wallet doesn’t have to be a CBDC perse. Wechat and Alipay are superior systems easily. The reality is many ppl around the world will want a government CBDC or digital wallet if it comes with a bunch of free money lol

      Seems fair. I consume for valid medical reasons, I would argue vapor is a lot more harmless. But it's a workable middle ground. As long as you play the same game and don't emit any noxious fumes including, modes of transport, & transport of your goods. I don't want to breath that on my bike leaving the traffic lights and it's far more harmful.

    I used to live in Thailand from 2004 until 2008 and loved the country at that time. I missed the Kingdom and moved back in 2022, however am very unimpressed by the changes in the country and the people that I have been subject too. With the recent changes in the tax laws regardless of the fact that I purchased a condominium in the country, I have chosen to leave. I am pensioned at a level in the 6 figure area, and refuse to give the Thai government any of the money that I earned after I have paid taxes on it in my own country, especially when all of my pensions are spent in support of the local economy. I have decided that there are other countries that will have a better appreciation for what I have the ability to provide.

    Benjamin, The Guardian newspaper in the UK has a new series of articles on America's changing relationship to drug use, it's called "The high road". There are some very interesting stories in there, you might want to take a look at them, being from that side of the pond. If you Google "Americans have demonized drugs for decades" you should find them.
    One fact that stood out when I read them is that there are now more Americans using cannabis every day than there are Americans who drink alcohol every day. "In 2022, 17.7 million people said they used cannabis near-daily, compared with 14.7 million near-daily drinkers." If cannabis is so dangerous, you would think that it would be clearly visible by now. Why hasn't society collapsed?

    What is best for Thailand as a nation isn’t always the same as what’s best for Thai individuals, or what’s best for freedom, these are separate conversations. Some of these things very well could be beneficial for Thailand. Thailand has the largest Chinese population outside of China, it’s clear that when given the choice between the western definition of “good” vs Chinese, leadership will choose now Chinese mentality more and more.So when discussing a digital wallet, which most people already use it’s just controlled by banks which isn’t much better, yes it’s dystopian to have a government controlling what you can buy. But it’s almost certainly better for the economy lol, don’t conflate ‘better’ with ‘free’. Im a large proponent of crypto but the reality is CBDCs give governments a way to fix economies much better than what they currently have access to. The only blind spot is the supply side, demand can literally be allocated, struggling sectors can be propped up. Whether that is the ‘right’ thing to do is irrelevant when asking the question is it better for a nation as a whole, the answer is probably yes like it or not. When it comes to marijuana most Thais don’t even use or like weed is a majority foreign dependent business, something that Thailand increasingly does not need as agricultural and manafacturing, and tech industry continues to pave its path. Thailand was never colonized but has some recent history of attracting lowlife tourists, which I think would be a good move to get away from in the long run. I still oppose making it a narcotic, but viewing this as bad for the nation is short term thinking. Chinese police station thing is indefensible lol but to be expected. China enforces laws so much that they start enforcing them in other countries (or trying to at least) where foreign nationals reside. There was 22 Chinese nationals executed for running a scam operation in Laos I remember that.

    I rate your talks about medical cannabis, I'm off the handful of pharmaceuticals after decades. It keeps me out of hospital, It's not to get high, it's taking medicine, that has some side effects like laughing & smiling to much. I think moderation and timing of dose is key.

Thailand has always had a gay and transgender community that Co existed in peace and acceptance. All WEF policy. I am from a BRICS country with our government pandering more to the USA and the WEF.
