you don't need it until you do. Very bad advice.

Well said

As far as I am concerned, get an agent, it will save you a huge amount of stress.

Wise

Go see a doctor, if what you say is correct, he will give you a certificate, for immigration. I had 9 months of just that, I had a disc, herniate in my lower back. The orthopaedic surgeon, gave me ongoing certificates, until I could travel again.

Texts from banks, always treat with extreme suspicion.

absolutely, 1 joint, would usually mean, a trip to the ATM and at best a 20,000 baht withdrawal.

@Karl *****

ha ha, stupid comments amuse stupid minds.

were you always a sanctimonious individual? Or has it developed recently. As a cancer survivor, canabis contributed enormously in my rapid recovery. It eliminated the two worst post surgery effects. Nausea, and appetite loss. The guy who got 5 years ban, did heaps more than get caught with a joint, after 30 years residence, I have known enough expats, who were caught, none of whom ever faced any type of ban.
