RE: Travel Pro Answers #1: Is it dangerous to do drugs in Thailand?
God I miss my travel days - you just brought me back from a cold NY winter night ;-) I clicked on this post for 2 reasons - nostalgia for when I lived in Bangkok, and to see what crazy advice you have for doing drugs in Thailand lol.
No it's never safe - especially with the military gov't is the answer I expected. But I GUESS if like you say, you know the source. (and perhaps things are less strictly enforced outside BKK and major cities?)
For some reason I'm surprised to hear the happy shake and joint places are still going...I'd heard many had been shut down. And wow, I searched hi and low for valium last time I was there (2015) in various BKK pharmacies and think there was only 1 of 20 that still sold it (when I lived there wayyyy back in 2006 - they had just started clamping down).
Not that I'll have a chance to go anytime soon - but is Ochheuteal beach (Cambodia) still the backpacker haven it used to be...almost all hostels there used to have community weed and beyond jars lol.
Following you to live again...vicariously for now! Thanks for brightening a now location monogamous, knocked up, middle aged woman's day :-P
I'm from Albany NY originally. So I know what you mean, those cold dark winter nights. Glad I could give you an escape for a short while. By no means am I saying go ahead and break the law in Thialand, I just know many people are going to, so I was just trying to be helpful to those party goers. I lived in Cambodia for three month's. I know exactly what you are talking about. Thank you so much, for following and support! Have a great day! -Dan
Yes lol. New York State is brutal. You gave good advice, cause people are going to do what they're going to do. I know I did :-P Happy Travels! Happy Holidays!
