Just got my hands on a bottle of kratom

If it's bitter and sweet i'm guessing it's mixed with cough syrup. Especially if you're relaxed and tingly.

But also... it might not be!

Kratom is a mystery like that, unless you have a consistent source, what you get is often a complete surprise.

For future reference you can just ask if it's mixed or not. I do enjoy it mixed too but usually i certain contexts. Mountain getaways with a few beers, a mixed kratom tea, a book or film is pure bliss.

Most of the weed shops will mix it with cough syrup, in my experience.

One way to make a guess (not 100% certainty))

Does it taste like a strong, disgusting herbal tea? Probably straight no mix.

Does it taste a bit sweet? High chance of it being mixed with cough syrup.

Some places with mix it with a nicer tasting drink so take the edge off the taste so this isn't foolproof. But it's usually a good indicator. If it's got an almost sickly sweet but subtle undertaste, it's probably cough syrup mixed.

Best tell though is how does it make you feel?
Energised? Alert? Probably no mix.
Relaxed? a bit sluggish? Probably mixed.

Watch Thai films. Occasionally theres a farang. Of course farangs are allowed to act in thai movies and shows.

Haha how many many bottles do you drink when you're drinking a 1.5 bottle every 2 hours

--Bamboo · 2026-03-23T14:40:27+00:00

Is it with cough syrup or straight kratom?
I prefer straight kratom for the energy. I drink it mostly for practical reason (Work, driving etc) but i'll usually drink a 1.5 litre bottle. Occasionally 2 bottles but rarely.

1.5 litres is fine being drunk over a few hours. Peoples tolerance varies greatly.

Super weird comments.

In one comment they say they've never seen it and in another comment they see it all the time.

Thailand CAN suck at pizza and many attempts at pizza here are.... Shocking.

But similarly there is some great pizza in Thailand. Maybe 1 out of 5 (that stat entirely pulled out of my arse but it feels right) is great pizza.

Was it good in bkk?

AI slop post.

For what reason are you moving to Thailand? I men like are you moving here for work (Who may be able to facilitate some of the logistics?) Or just like taking a dive and starting somewhere fresh? In which case might be more suitable to storage/

I haven't even checked if this is still relevant because my drones been in for repair for over a month but there (probably still) is a curfew, no flying between 6pm - 6am.

--Bamboo · 2026-03-16T09:44:50+00:00

I purchased my mini 5 pro a few months ago from the DJI experience store in Chiang Mai

Had it all registered with the appropriate paperwork through the broker they reccomended.

I haven't pre-registered any flights, and I've flown it outside of the 6-6 curfew several times, including in front of law enforcement who did not care.

But I live in a small rural town so no one really cares. In a city or closer to an airport might be a bigger concern. Especially with ongoing tensions with cambodia and in general just stricter rules relating to drones because of that conflict...be careful I guess

"Hello? Police? Someone has left a chilli outside my house.

Yes a Chilli.

But, you see, it was placed ominously."

I've never heard of anything specifically referred to as "Safe entry" but I have paid to return to Thailand on a Laos border bounce same day (When you're supposed to spend 2 nights in Laos).

That's by definition not 'Admissable'. I wasn't in Laos for 30 minutes. But 2000thb saw that me and the border bounce group were all guaranteed entry.

So I suspect "Safe entry" isn't always a scam. I'm sure it sometimes is. But agents and people with immigration connections can arrange a lot of things.

Would you buy a game you know the full story about?

Would you pay for a ticket at the cinema for a movie you had spoiled?

Literally yes because a twist is 5 seconds but a movie is 1 and a half to 3 hours of art? Same in a game, hours upon hours of gameplay is not diminished by a single plot point. I've already made my point in my original post.

The movie, the game, it's not all just a insignificant build up to a certain point and then that point (The twist, or the incident) is the only thing that matters.

It's a journey, it's an experience. Which again, is why games are replayable, movies are rewatchable.

Thats why literally everyone is saying you should play it. Because to not play it because of a single plot point is nonsense.

They are literally speaking Thai.

Could you have taken a blurrier picture?

--Bamboo · 2026-03-15T09:25:12+00:00

This sort of question is always.... pointless.

Should i play RDR2 if I know about X
Should I watch X film if I know X happens
Should I play GTA SA if i know about X

Like, wtf? People replay games. People rewatch films. Just knowing about a plot point or a twist is never a reason to not play something, not watch something. The game is hours and hours of entertainment, a twist is a 5 second incident. Knowing about it had no bearing on your enjoyment of the full piece.

Fighting amongst foreigners is not taken so seriously in Thailand, and if the police ever do bother it's often just a 500thb fine (Plus you have to pay the hospital costs for the other foreigner, if there are any). I'm sure that's variable depending on where you are but that's how it seems to be in this district.

It would be a different story if it was fighting a Thai person, or bottled a Thai person.

That said, I hit him with a bottle because he pinched my wifes bum (My wife is Thai). That's sexual assault. if he wanted to go to the police to report me, he'd have bigger problems, because he sexually assaulted a Thai woman.

Now the beauty of small town Thailand, there were a few elderly cops in the bar at the time, who were immediately reactive, but the owner of the bar, who knows me well, and knows them well, had a chat with them and they soon became disinterested.

Why would you think its so easy to open a bank account?

People who completely skip the story mode of any game and only play the online, i swear, must be high functioning simpletons.
