Get over what? Oh the choice to wear a mask if one wants. Got it. Tonight we went to a nice restaurant. The mater de required a mask be worn to be let in and be seated, only after being seated could you remove the mask, and if you needed to use the restroom you heeded to mask back up as you walked to it and used it. The tables were also spaced out appropriately for reasons. The wait staff all wore masks as well.  Sure the cooks were wearing them as well. Wonderful meal and good service.  No one complaining about having to wear a mask either.  Walked outside and removed the masks..... 

Glad you enjoyed your meal.  Of course all the countries that have dropped the masks have the same rates of infection, and they are all trending together.  Masked or not it makes no difference now.

Same everywhere. Get over it.

In Colombia i can buy super cheap

Coke... Hang on a minute where am I ? 

My doorman sells a brick of thai compressed weed for 1k.  I bought it and its ok but not in the same class as 30% thc exotics but here is the thing.  I have no shortage of cash so its not an issue. But if you are scraping to get by then do what you have to or go to the usa

Yeah, I spent 6 months in Colombia it's all legal and easy to get. Folks going ga ga over this are the ones that never leave their house.

Price will come down and it is a big deal for Asia.   

In Colombia you can walk into a pharmacy and get allot of drugs illegal in Thailand.

It seems that the neighbouring countries do not want Thailand's expats , Vietnam briefly courted E-x-pats , then quickly changed their minds and pulled the barriers up again 

I never have understood why the other countries over there do not go after tourists and expats more aggressively?

[Could Thailand now be the place to book a holiday?]

Would not take much to dis lodge Thailand in SE Asia. 

I expect it wont't be long before other countries in that area start catering to expats and long stay tourists. Then Thailand will be history.

No I back my stuff up with science, and research while you back it up with ..... nothing.

 

Cannabis has been researched in more liberal countries like the Netherlands for decades. All science points to alcohol being far more dangerous. Even Brit Scientists agree and rank alcohol high risk. 

 

I think im the only one that posted some research nobody else did so yea im intitled to call people uninformed and you too as you seem to think cannabis has not been researched much. Just that something is illegal does not mean they don't research it.  Some countries might say it but its been researched for decades in my country. 

 

Its just a fact that many on this forum don't want to admit that alcohol is worse because then they cant look down on pot users anymore. I am not saying that pot is harmless as no drug ever is.

The court found him guilty on all sixty-five counts and imposed a five-year prison term for each of the counts, bringing the accumulated jail time to 325 years.

Taiwan doesn't have a grovelling British government to give it away as happened with HK when they were only bound to hand back the New Territories but gave back the Island and Kowloon as well. Pathetic. Taiwan is weii-armed, some say more than very well-armed, and will not be an easy take. Also I suspect the US will back Taiwan all the way. I certainly hope so. I lived and worked in Taiwan for 6 of the best years of my life.

They have not got a snowball's chance in H&LL.. 

Just talking to a friend from Taiwan and they are referring to it as China.

I think they know what is going to happen.
