Teenagers and government officials in Chiang Mai are huge fans of e-ganja

Unlike cigarettes, using an e-ganja electronic gadget does not produce any scent or smoke, which is one of its advantages. Either wealthy teens or high-ranking government employees are their greatest e-ganja customers, according to vendors in the northern province of Chiang Mai. According to media sources, smokers typically purchase e-ganja online for about 3,000 baht. Smokers can manage themselves and know their limitations thanks to the cannabis oil in e-ganja. E-ganja is a type of portable electronic gadget that mimics smoking, much like an e-cigarette. The e-ganja electronic device, however, uses cannabis oil in place of tobacco, unlike e-cigarettes. Since many people have allergies to bongs or ground cannabis wrapped in paper, e-ganja has grown in popularity.

Thailand’s economy grows but lacks Chinese money

Second-quarter tourism growth is predicted to be 3.1% year-over-year, up from 2.2%. Thailand expects 10 million tourists by year’s end, up from 1.07 million in July. 12 economists anticipated 0.9% quarterly GDP growth, down from 1.1% in the previous quarter. Tourism and the government’s move to lower entry criteria boosted Thailand’s economy. Tourism is essential to Thailand’s economy, and a faster-than-expected rebound should increase growth, says economist Chua Han Teng. If China doesn’t change its zero-Covid policy, a full comeback to pre-pandemic numbers seems unlikely. Thailand’s economy grew at its fastest pace in a year last quarter, but the outlook is still threatened by rising living costs and China’s zero-Covid-19 policy. Global recession fears could affect Thailand’s economy and growth forecast. Standard Chartered analyst Tim Leelahaphan said, “There’s no sign inflation will fall.” Reuters predicts Thailand’s GDP would grow 3.4% this year, 4.1% in 2023, and 3.5% in 2024. Persistent…
