New Thai Commerce Minister Targets High Living Costs, Chinese Imports
retarius replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Pushing up the prices of Chinese imports will not help high living costs. For years the US relied on cheap Chinese imports to keep inflation in check. Then Donald came along.... -
The Urgent Need for EU Expansion: A Strategic Imperative for Survival
retarius replied to Social Media's topic in World News
This is like a chain of restaurants about to go bust.....yes let's open more and more stores. Soon you look like Macy's and go bust. The last thing the EU needs is more members with vetoes. -
Foreigner Steals Taxi While High on Cannabis, Crashes into Lamp Post
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Was never my experience. I could recognise that being drunk, I drive faster and more aggressively, and more dangerously. On weed only I was, according to my passengers, much less aggressive, slower and safer -
3 years ago the answer was yes, you do need a Certificate of Residence. Allow a week to get it. I know it used to be an up the stairs, 10 minute thing, but last time I did it, I went on Thursday, applied same day and was told to come back and pick it up the following Tuesday....luckily one day before my appointment at the driving centre.

Elon Musk May Be Summoned to UK Parliament Over Role of X
retarius replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The Brits are the ones who locked up Assange. I'd send a deputy Elon, you can't trust the Brits. They don't have free speech in the UK either and try to infer that some forms of speech are hateful. Freedom of speech that doesn't include the right to insult is not free speech, it is government controlled free speech.- 72 replies

I suspect it will be a better investment than the 500 billion on the digital wallet gimmick..... -
Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Usual nonsense. Get an education and learn to read. -
I wonder where the baht will be in 6 months' or a year's time. BOT seems reluctant to cut rates, even staring Srettha down. Powell meanwhile is happy the boost Harris's chances with a late cut, one that was telegraphed early. I'm betting he will do a 0.5% cut (0.25% is meaning less and won't improve Harris's prospects, but the outcome of tonight's debate will alter Harris's prospects one way or another. Personally I cannot see Thailand's economy improving. Bad loans at banks worry me; the stupid giveaway worries me and I don't see it improving the economy significantly, but most of all car sales at home and abroad worry me....unless they improve foreign demand for baht will fade. I'm going to make a huge bet on Yen. The baht vs yen has not changed in months, the yen is weak and the baht, overvalued in my opinion.....why should I not make this bet?

Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
One month does not a summer make. One country does not a global market make. All major companies are scaling back their EV plans. Why, is it because the market is accelerating so much? No it is because it is dying on its feet and sellers can't get rid of used cars....no one wants them. -

Funny, I don't know anyone who has one. Maybe our generally older age group is more cautious...late adopters. -
Thailand Grapples with Growing Number of Foreign Beggars
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The sidewalks are full enough already of people actually earning a living, but I don't object to poor people begging. I have to say I don't see that many....two or three on Soi 3 Sukhumvit, who usually look to be Arabs or Indo/Pakistani. That said the stuff I want to visit and buy is usually in prosperous areas and I think the cops keep the beggars away from there. I'm sure this talk of 100,000 baht a day income is misinformation. In the UK and US there are tales of dirty legless beggars climbing into Rolls Royces at the end of a begging session. My answer is to deport any none Thai begging or else introduce a new begging visa for farangs. -
UK Considers Sending Prisoners to Estonia to Ease Overcrowding Crisis

I also read that Germany is considering using the facilities Britain has established in Rwanda for deportees....apparently it is illegal to deport British asylum seekers there , but not German ones. Go figure. -
Baht becoming ridiculously strong
retarius replied to fulhamster's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Don't worry the crash is just around the corner. The economic. policy statement prioritising 'marriage equality' doesn't inspire confidence. -
We have well water than tends to corrode everything outside. We use a softener inside so all the taps are bright and sparkly but e cement paths outside are filthy after 13 years of rain etc and 2 -3 different pressure washers that seize up quickly.
