However, extracts containing more than 0.2% THC are still against the law. Recreational use is still banned. Anyone found smoking marijuana for recreation will be subject to lengthy jail terms and fines

Thailand is set to decriminalize marijuana starting Thursday, the first such move in Asia, seeking to grab a slice of a growing market for marijuana-infused food and medicinal cannabis treatments.

It will no longer be a crime to grow and trade marijuana and hemp products, a move aimed at bolstering the country’s crucial agriculture and tourism sectors. However, prospects for the Thai cannabis trade will be limited by the country’s ban on recreational use and the production of anything with more than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that gives users a “high” sensation.

Unless you have a Thai work permit getting a job in Thailand will be very difficult. And even now many hotels still are not full and biz slow. HM Salary I do not know what you mean. But yes rents are low depending what city, area, type of apt/house you want. Cannabis has never been legal in Thailand. In 2019 they decriminalized the possession of it but the govt has control of the strength of what's sold for medical purposes.

I am guessing you mean “Expat” 😃. Click on this main page header, hit the magnifying glass icon, and do a search. There are probably 20-30 suggestions by ppl if not more. Good luck

Depending upon who your carrier is I would try to access on of the lounges and hang there for the 10 hours. I just did that in JPN and it was OK
