The Quarter is very good indeed. Price gone up a lot since it first opened but great service and nice rooms. Even had Netflix and an open account left by previous occupant 😆
In short, very very convenient 👍
I've stayed there myself last year and brought guys I offed from Tawan with no issues at all.
Looking forward for how things turned out on your side later.
The last two holidays I have stayed at the Zing for a number of days.
Good clean, basic hotel with a nice pool. Guest friendly and ideal for 'boy shopping'!
Moistmango, I think that ur post is TOTALLY necessary. The report is one of the reasons this forum exists: to rcmnd the deserving, and to warn against the cheats.
Yes it was me. One of the boys working there I’ve know for over 10 yrs txt’d me saying the bar had been shut last Monday by the police. We both felt it was probably some issue over paying bribe or new police chief…
Returned to Nice Boys last night with a former dancer there. Bought a bottle and mix for anyone. Tipped all 12 dancers and 4 waiters. My friend took care of this and as he was leaving a little early 300 of my extra money he put into a cup for a “contest”. Took a little longer than it used to - to get a “winner”.
Another customer had brought in a ping pong ball and put 500 under a glass for a new game on the dance floor. Ten dancers all stood around playing the game with pants dropped. All the time they played the customer walked around and massaged their butt. Evidently they knew the rules but it took quite a while before the ball landed and stayed in the short drink glass. Same guy that won the previous contest took this one too. Then he put up 500 for another round.
Saw a dancer there from Facebook that had a motorcycle accident and a hurt leg 3 years ago and motioned if his leg was ok. He motioned back with a high side snap kick that it was fine. The pic on Facebook had stainless rods protruding the skin on his ankle.
Nice to see the guys have fun and make some money. It really pays to stay for more than a couple drinks.
As well as Bangkok you could have a couple of nights in Jomtien and visit Sansuk Sauna. Nice sauna which has very nice accomodation also at a reasonable price 👍. busiest Friday and Saturday 👍
Thailand is set to REVERSE weed legalization after spike in cannabis-related mental health issues and crime - with government calling pot 'a big problem'
By Luke Andrews Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com 18:31 GMT 13 Feb 2024 , updated 20:18 GMT 13 Feb 2024
Thailand is set to outlaw weed again just 18 months after the country decriminalized the drug.
The major U-turn follows a spike in hospital admissions and crime linked to cannabis, as well as the perception that children are getting hooked too easily.
Since June 2022, when marijuana was dropped as a controlled substance, hospitalizations for cannabis-induced psychological problems have doubled to 63,000 patients per year, while reports of drug-fueled violence and abuse have also risen.
Thailand became the first country in the Asia to legalize marijuana in 2019, when the Bhumjaithai party promised it would be a boon to crop farmers in the north.
But the decriminalization has given rise to a large un-regulated black market. Data shows more than 6,000 shops have sprouted in the country, many without licenses.
There has also been a boom in tourists visiting the country to use marijuana recreationally, helping to fund cannabis-themed cafes and hemp spas.
In response, the country's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has named weed a 'big problem' and vowed to take action — after being elected in August 2023.
Top officials are now proposing a bill that would make using cannabis 'for entertainment or pleasure' a crime punishable with a $1,700 fine (60,000 baht) and possibly a jail sentence of up to one year.
Last week, the country's health minister Chonlanan Srikaew revealed he had recommended a draft bill that would ban recreational cannabis.
'We drafted this law to prohibit the wrong usage of cannabis,' health minister Srikaew said previously.
'All recreational use is wrong.'
It comes as the US faces similar problems, with thousands of weed shops — many unregulated — springing up in many major cities amid reports of spikes in psychological problems and addiction among youths.
In Thailand, it is already illegal to smoke weed in public, which carries a fine of $700 (25,000 baht).
Data shows that among those aged 20 to 29, the proportion using weed more than tripled from one percent to three percent by 2021 — before regulations were eased. This figure is now likely to be much higher, officials say.
Data from the country's health ministry shows the number of Thais seeking treatment for medical issues jumped from 37,000 in 2022 to as many as 63,000 in 2023, a rise of more than 70 percent.
There are also anecdotal reports of rising crime rates and spikes in drug-related violence.
The Thai bill will need to be approved by Cabinet, voted through by Parliament and signed by the country's king Maha Vajiralongkorn before it becomes law. But it already enjoys broad support across the country's political parties.
A total of 24 US states have now legalized marijuana for recreational use, with red-leaning Ohio becoming the latest in November last year.
No state has reversed legalization yet, but there has been a shift in the public mood — with Americans in many states now voting down measures to legalize recreational cannabis.
This included Oklahoma, which rejected the proposal in March last year despite cannabis companies spending more than $4.9million on advertizing.
The US federal Government is currently considering reducing marijuana to Schedule III substance — on a par with steroids, ketamine and testosterone. At present, it is regulated as a Schedule I substance — on the same level as heroin, ecstasy and LSD which are drugs deemed to have a high likelihood of abuse and no medical uses.
Thailand dropped cannabis from its list of controlled substances in June 2022 — instead labeling it as a 'controlled herb'.
This allowed for locals to grow and trade marijuana and hemp products as long as they had a license.
The move was aimed at providing poor farmers in the north with a new cash crop, as they traditionally rely on rubber and rice which have low value.
But it has been poorly regulated — leading to an explosion of weed shops across the country.
Cities like Chiang Mai and the capital Bangkok now even hold weed festivals — while tourists from nearby countries where the drug is illegal, like Japan and Singapore, have started to visit in droves.
The drug was legal to sell only to those over 20 years old and who were not pregnant or were not trying to purchase the drug online — and who were using it for medical purposes.
'Kitty' Chopaka, a Thai cannabis rights activist, told NPR: 'You can go ask any Thai on the side of the road, going like, what do you think about medical cannabis? Everyone will go, this is great, fully support it.
'But then if you go into — what about sales, what about recreational use? There's still a — we're not so sure.'

Marijuana was previously lauded for its benefits for pain relief and anxiety treatment, with many insisting it was not addictive.
But the drug is now stronger than it has ever been, with higher levels of THC — the psychoactive chemical in the drug — which experts say flood the brain with feel-good chemicals and trigger addiction.
Many have also started to take the drug daily, triggering addiction and dependence that is not easily shaken.
Previous studies have already linked marijuana to schizophrenia, psychosis and depression.
Some have also suggested that it permanently changes the brains of young adults who use the drug — with the brain not maturing until someone reaches their late 20s.
