I for one hope the economy returns to the Shinawatra times after the coup leaders have spent like drunken sailors, and Srettha seems to want to do the same.
Sashimi human liver with lima beans, followed by boiled human brain with cabbage, followed by two chocolate balls and a flake stick.
Ask a stupid question.
When I came here I had the mad notion of investing in property. I thought if I bought a few condos they would give me some income and something for the mrs to inherit. I can't think I have ever met a happy condo owner here, except the ones pretending to be happy when they are trying to sell it to you.
My son has a condo on Miami Beach, West Ave side with great views of Miami Bay and Star Island, but the <deleted> he has to put up with is nobodies business. And the condo fees go up and up as the service goes down and down.
So not for me.....I'm buying up land.
Israel at war? So what? They are always at war, bombing Iran or Syria. Stealing land. I hope Hamas kicks their collective ass (I know it's not likely, toy guns against tanks was never a winning strategy). I just wish they would stop killing Palestinians, stop with the apartheid and give the Palestinians a fair deal.
What's it like watching football by yourself. Being alone on the stands. Not having to queue for beer or a hot dog? Must be great unless some away fans come and ruin it for you.
Bob Smith said he's leaving....but then again he said he was into sobriety so I take his words with a pinch of salt. I'm fed up to the back teeth with the place. Sick to death of it. I'm thinking Portugal as I have an Irish passport.
When my dad opened a bank account for me I was about 7. A savings account for may non existent spare pocket money. When I got to uni and heard about the fiilthy horrid things the whites to =to the blacks in South Africa and that Barclays was doing something there (not quite sure what, probably;y lending money to the white government), I immediately closed by Barclays account and opened a Bat West account and never looked back for the past 53 years.
I have a dark skinned wife, and I'm a racist like all the Aussies I ever met.I was totally shocked when the country voted for gay marriage as all the Aussies I know we're practically nazis.
I can't get it to work either. But neither can I get any app from US banks to work either. Maybe I am too stupid to get them to work.
I used to transfer money for living expenses from Vanguard (a very large investment company sun the US) every January (I'll not do it this year for obvious reasons) and I have to telephone them at ungodly hours and wait hours on the phone to get to talk to someone. I asked them why I could never hook up and the technician said it was because there are too many scams in Thailand. I was told the same by other regular banks in the US. I did ask for a way around it, like a special code for Thai accounts but they refused.
I was using hyperbole, you can tell it is hyperbole because I said it was million miles away......and it's not a million, not even half a million miles away. And anyway, you forgot about Hawaii, that's close to 20.
Villages as well. I see lots of young men sitting around drinking lao khao from morning till dusk. Just think what an economic powerhouse Thailand could be if they were all working.
