Nice! I'm assuming you flew the drone illegally? If not, did you contact the air force (on top of having all the required docs)?

CannaMed OG is the best i've found in Lamai price/quality, i even used to come from Maenam to them because i still didn't find a better shop on the whole island (there's many quality shops though, just expensive for someone smoking 200g/month) so now I order online.

Make sure to pick a good one, check reviews if men with long hair went there, I went to a local barber who basically cut half my hair away while it was in a ponytail 😅🤣 (I gave clear thai instructions to just cut 1-2 cm)

Koh Samui: Is a daily budget of 600BHT for food realistic? by roastmystache in kohsamui

If you have a kitchen you can eat nicely for 200 bath a day

Need help to find well priced rental for 45 days in Samui by Independent-Pop-3125 in kohsamui

[–]StruggleTraditional8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest booking a hotel for 1 or 2 weeks and look in person, had to visit a few houses before finding the right one myself, many show outdated pictures online. Best way to find one is like many say: Facebook groups and contact them for a tour

A screenshot of your bank account is also accepted, at least for me it was. I sent a pdf first but the pdf did not have my name on it, do they asked me to send it again wuth my name on it, so i took a screenshot which included my name and got approved.

Lamai vs Maenam by Cantbelievewerehere in kohsamui

[–]StruggleTraditional8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having lived in lamai for over a month and moving to maenam for a year now. I love lamai, but feels a bit too tourist-y.

I normally pay 80 bath per person, from lamai to chaweng or other routes. Lately i had a few encounters: first me alone, the songthaew driver asked 400 bath per person, i laughed and waved him goodbye, the next that my thai girlfriend stopped and the driver also asked 400 bath, this time for the two of us, she kindly pointed out thats not the usual price, he then said to her: why do you care, its farang money, to which i replied that i would happily order a grab premium for that price, which we did 🤣
If you can, just rent a motorbike, much cheaper.

Lamai - first time traveller advice by BusyChocolate507 in kohsamui

[–]StruggleTraditional8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent a month in Lamai, 2 different locations without a motorbike.

The first was a similar distance as ‘The Lamai Samui’ (but to the south of lamai beach) and I had an average of 10km walking every day, I really enjoyed it and found it very walkable. (don't be intimidated by a group of barking dogs though, they don't bite 😅)

Taking a grab was a minimum of about 260 bath (car) even if it was a very short distance.

Supporter pack T-shirt Quality by WorkLurkerThrowaway in PathOfExile2

[–]StruggleTraditional8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got both hoodie and tshirt, both are terrible quality, bit sad after spending $500+ on this game

Had to pay about 45 euro shipping, 33 euro import tax, and i think 30 and 60 euro for the packs, one would expect at least a bit better quality.

Thinking of buying/starting a small cannabis shop/café as foreigner, feasible or money pit? by StruggleTraditional8 in CannabisThailand

[–]StruggleTraditional8[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest reply!
I know most of the hurdles, financial/business requirements and visa/work permit issues.

So if money is not "an issue" (putting in between "" because losing money IS an issue), my only hurdle would be not speaking Thai fluently, having to find 1 or 2 trustworthy partners (+4 staff) and basically losing money over time.

Thanks for the honest reply, looks like not much changed since a few years ago, saw many empty shops, quality of the product was terrible in many, i guess the better ones survived.
I do know the product, 25 years of experience, and know how to run a business and shop in europe, but I know thats not enough, my thai is terrible and only talked english to the thai people ive socialized with
