  1. I must have got this wrong! When I went to the site and selected 7 grams of Blue OG (16% THC) the price was quoted at 4,200 baht. That would be about CAD 154.00 for a quarter ounce. That can't be right, can it? Here in Canada, I can buy an ounce (28 grams) of higher-potency cannabis (even from the Ontario gov't stores) for less.

    I ordered a few seeds just for fun, 3 cheap (cocoa red), 1 expensive (wiengping), 1 expensive (OG kush)  (475bht). They arrived today, 1 cheap (cocoa red), 3 expensive (wiengping), 1 expensive (OG kush) + 2 free (soft silk). They certainly look like cannabis seeds ..... guess I'll have to plant them and see what comes up.

    How daring of you! ???? Are they supposed to be feminized? It's always tough seeing in those nasty little balls show up rather than nice little hairs after vegging a plant for so long, unless one's intention is creating seeds. Good luck with them. May they all be potent girls.

    I buy 1 seed then clone another 10 plants from it.

    No need to buy clones, they're free, as many as you want.

    Nobody loves the idea more than me that one tiny seed has the potential to grow thousands of plants, but I guess I'm a bit of a splurge spending CAD  7-15 a seed to give me a crop that will last the entire year.

     

    I love the variation I get, though. You'd be surprised how much two plants can vary from the same batch of seeds with one having more of that laid-back Indica effect and the other with a more energetic sativa effect.

    Nobody grows autos more than once.

    1. Too expensive 1 seed for each plant.

    2. Autos don't crop that well, 1 plant, 1 oz if you're lucky.

    3. Photos will flower when big enough in Thailand.

    I've never grown autos myself, but I also don't clone. I like going from seed every time for the variation it gives me with my hybrids, and I consistently get 100% germination, so I'm a bit of the oddball in my group. Everyone else I know gets clones. 

     

    What you say about reduced crop size and even lower potency is true with autoflowering plants. I lived in Thailand for a long time and dreamed of being able to grow some nice tall sativas, even if they took 12 weeks to finish flowering after completing their stretch phase, so it's good to know that people are taking advantage of that nice hot sunny growing weather. One properly grown sativa plant  there could yield kilos of good buds.

    Buy the seeds, grow your own, the prices are much better.

    You will have to wait 4 months though.

    I'm back in Canada now and actually bought some seeds from the Ontario government cannabis store to try this year for only CAD 24.95 a 4-pack.  They're called Lillooet Landrace -- apparently a variation of a strain called Timewarp that has been grown in British Columbia for ages. It's been so popular because of it's nice effects but more importantly that it has a short enough flowering time to finish properly in our short Canadian growing season. I always grow 2 White Widows in the main garden that get to about 8-9 feet tall and provide me with lots of buds to get through the year. But I'll also try the gov't plants in 5-gallon pots out by the pool and see how they go.  

     

    I'd think that in In Thailand, you'd have to be sure to get a strain that's as much pure sativa as possible to grow outside. It can have a very long flowering period, and that makes sense with the small variation in the length of the day throughout the year. Alternately, one could grow autoflower plants that will begin to flower once they reach sexual maturity rather than photoperiod plants that rely on the days getting shorter to trigger their flowering. One could grow autoflowers year round in Thailand and have a constant cheap supply of medicine.

  6. I've never accessed this site on a phone -- only a "trained" PC, so I don't experience this problem. From what I see posted here, I'd have to be very desperate for some info that's only available here or a needed reply to bother fighting with a screen full of annoying adverts, especially video ones.

  7. And while they're trying to get back into Russia, the highly-educated and middle class are leaving as they can see a new Iron Curtain forming that will be even more geographically restrictive than the old one that at least included Eastern European countries that Russians, or rather Soviets, could visit, but they're part of NATO now, so they're off limit. Russian involvement in the exchange of culture and sports competitions with most of the world , including the Olympics, will be a thing of the past after Putin and his many faithful spill so much blood and do so much destruction in Ukraine that Russia and its citizens will be global pariah. 

     

    Who can blame the young and educated Russians from fleeing a demonic dictator who is on a train-wreck path of both internal and external destruction, regressing their country back decades or even a century in terms of isolation and economic hardship? With no foreign investments coming into a country that has lost all trust around the world and its citizens unable to seek employment elsewhere, what reasonably ambitious Russian wants to be trapped in Putin's awful version of what he sees for Russia -- one of his old Soviet/KGB glory days where the masses were kept nicely subdued through propaganda and threats? 

     

    Maybe these Russians want to think twice about what they're returning to and seek hardship asylum.

  8. I always get a chuckle when the topic of recreational cannabis in Thailand comes up. I lived there for about 17 years but won't go into the specifics of how or if I was able to get cannabis there, but as a hint, I like cannabis and strongly believe in the benefits is give me, so take it from there. 

     

    I am now back in Canada and have been here for about 5 years after leaving Thailand for family reasons. Cannabis just happened to be legalized for recreational use about a year after I returned, allowing not only its sale but also its legal cultivation for personal use. I grow a few monster plants of a hi-potency hybrid (White Widow) in the garden each summer that gives me enough product for my smoking, edibles and even sharing with younger relatives. The total cost is a little over a hundred dollars and gives me nice bud for only pennies per gram. I AM SPOILED!! And if I want a nice concentrate vape pen or some other treat for a change, there are a variety of stores to shop at close by. 

     

    So, being that spoiled and wanting not only cheap but hassle-free access to cannabis, I'm not going to fly halfway around the world to a country that is living in the dark ages in that regard. I was there when the current PM inserted himself into the leadership role in Thailand (as PM elect for life) and am very aware of his prudish and puritanical approach to existence, believing everyone should abstain from anything enjoyable, so I'm afraid that until there is a change of leadership -- one that takes a realistic approach to the nature of people and an understanding of the physical and social safety of cannabis, nothing of substance is going to happen. 

     

    The current leadership seems to take the same dull-minded approach I read in another post where someone starts comparing cocaine and opiates to cannabis because they all come from plants. That's about as stupid and simple-minded as it gets, yet lots of morons walk around with such ideas and it never seems to occur to them that millions of things come from plants, both good and bad. Amazingly, there are still A LOT of people who seem to believe everything shown in Reefer Madness. 

     

    And that's my post for the year. ????

  9. Is this the type of thing you're looking for?

     

    Synergy is a software application for sharing a keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. It is used in situations where several PCs are used together, with a monitor connected to each, but are to be controlled by one user. The user needs only one keyboard and mouse on the desk — similar to a KVM switch without the video.

  10. How much is the baht bus on one of the regular routes in Pattaya, these days? It was 5 baht when I moved there around 2000. I left Thailand a few years ago due to a family situation, but I lived south of the city for quite a while and definitely enjoyed their cheap service in the early days before having my own transportation. Let's hope they're back on the road and full of both Thais and tourists before too long. 

  11. Although Asians have been using trained macaque monkeys to harvest coconuts for about 400 years and little if any cruelty has ever been reported, we have our own perceptions and ideas. Personally, I've stopped eating shrimp as a I know the immigrant labour used in those farms are paid very little for long hours and poor living conditions.  As for concerns about using monkeys, who naturally like being up in trees anyway, I have none. 

     

    But as I said, we all have  own ideas and perceptions, so I would suggest choosing a couple of places that you think may be suitable and covertly taking a look if possible, or just show up unannounced, letting them know you're looking for a commercial supply and request to take a quick look at their operation to be sure it meets your customer's standards.

    Biden can withdraw the offers but he can't reverse consumated sales unless such sales violated federal law, ie., lack or insufficient environmental review under due process of law - something Trump has little regard for.

     

    If they can boot Trump out of office right now using section 25 of the charter of rights and freedoms, which they really should do, perhaps many of his decisions can be reversed as it could be argued that he wasn't of sound mind  when making them. 

  13. Glancing through a variety of posts, I vote for CASINO$ as the answer to Pattaya's economical woes. This is a good opportunity for Thailand to face the truth that their citizens love to gamble, and positioning Pattaya as the top SE Asian casino destination will keep money that goes into Cambodian and Chinese (Macau) pockets stimulating the Thai economy instead.

     

    Thailand finally has a REAL shot at being a 'hub", and that's something its gov'ts have drooled for one after the other. That little man at the top of the gov't could be the first one to achieve that crowning glory if he can climb down a bit from his high horse of morality and accept that people will always want to gamble, regardless of all his influence to keep everyone pure. 

     

  14. I am willing to take big money bets that Thailand will not be the first country to develop a Covid-19 vaccine, and I recently saw something saying that a true Covid vaccine has never been successfully developed with the closet thing being the annual flu shots people get. It seems to be a very difficult virus to conquer, responsible for things like common colds and flu. One glimmer of hope may be carrying on where they left off with SARS-2 as the medical community felt they were getting somewhere with that one, but development was apparently stopped because SARS went away. 

     

    Hopefully, success will be found somewhere before too long, and Thailand is welcome to jump on the bandwagon, insisting that they were THE key player in developing whatever medicine may get the world back to normal -- the old normal before Covid-19. I don't care who lays the biggest claim to success as long as it happens.

  15. Another "Just do it!" suggestion from this gov't with no support or ideas to back it up. I guess when your party has basically had a monopoly for so long on doing and saying whatever it wants whenever it wants without much thought put into things, apathy and idiocy become the norm.  

     

    How about some realistic financial incentive packages and training to convert idle commercial real estate into profitable tourist venues? People get into businesses because they have skills, knowledge, or interest in certain areas, and hopefully all three if they want to be successful. What good is it going to do to just tell people to change everything without giving them the means and support to do it?
