Hey, I'm all for it. Lower interest rates should mean a weaker Baht.

Yep me too,my pound is already going in an upward direction and when the uk finally raises it's artificially low rates that they've kept on hold for more than 3 years,then we'll really see things start to dance.

Big headed bastard.I wonder if he'll still be saying the same 3 years down the line,when his ringpiece has been stretched to the size of his head.

Hope being the operative word.

Yes good news,with hopefully a huge reduction in government import tax.

You can get a re-entry permit any time. No need to wait until you plan to take a trip.

The notification of staying in Thailand longer than 90 days can be made up to 15 days before and 7 days after the due date.

I have my doubts about the seven days after the due date.I'd sent it in via post last year and it was two days late, as the King's birthday was between.

While three younger immigration officers told me that a warning would be okay, their boss a pretty much disliked officer at Phiboonmangsahan Immigr ( already gone, thank god) then fined me 2,000 baht plus a stamp in my passport.

I know that most Immigration have their own rules, but I'd certainly make sure that they receive it in time.-.

I bet the 2k made his pocket happier.

Let's see Adul. Weekend is coming up.

Exactly. Most anti-govt protestors have regular jobs that require them Mon-Fri. They are not farmers who can just leave for weeks at a time outside of planting/harvest season.

Have regular jobs?you could have fooled me.There's enough of them on the street during the day.what are they all night workers?

Thaugsuban, an anagram of A BAN U THUGS

Don't none of these red and yellow shirt protesters have jobs to go?

Good news for your pound/dollar.

i'm not sure the name of the paper,but it's the paper received back from the tax office after you submit your latest tax return, which will show your earnings and tax paid for the current tax year.

Revolting smell especially early evening.Yuk.

Gonna need to build a lot of new jails then.

Someone appears to want to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted.I do love old sayings.

The saying pack of cards seems to be springing to mind.

If 1 month ago you bought a condo for 3 million bhat at 30 bhat to 1 USD it cost you S100,000 USD

Now it is 32 bhat to the USD so you lost $6250.00 USD in 1 month your condo is worth $93750.00

This happened in USA and I have a very bad feeling for Thailand. My nepher bought a $375,000 home in florida for $84,000 3 years ago. I saw many people walk away from their home because they owed more on their house than it was worth.

Exactly correct.

That was all part of the US sub-prime mortgage scam that caught out a lot of the western banks who were all throwing their own savers money into it and anyone could buy a house and get a mortgage if they had a job for more than 3 months.

Then the bubble burst, the yanks walked away and threw the keys at the mortgage lenders which spelled the end for the likes of Fannie May and Freddie Mac the two most rampant lenders who file for bankruptcy on the same day which basically halved the property market prices in a month. May I add that both these organizations were US government sponsored, which is why the US taxpayer was forced to bail out the institutions.

The exact same thing is happening now and I would say we were less than a year at worst and 2 years at best from an almighty collapse.

But the Thais will not learn from the mistakes of the west. My wife regularly gets phone calls from our banks offering loans etc... We don't need any loans, but they still ask.

I just shake my head and smile, because there is nothing else I can do.

Wait till people start losing their jobs and the banks start calling their money in,or worse the banks start to collapse and the baht's not worth a toss.It's not difficult to predict what'll happen next.Banks have just announced an interest rate cut,lovely for all us farangs.

UK household debt in 2012 was 54000 pound. So Thai debt seem minimal compared.

So do Thai earnings by comparison,with no state benefits to help them out.

This from a country where the national sport is invading other countries and toppling legitimate governments to be replaced by American puppet governments. Methinks America should keep it's big mouth shut

Not disagreeing: My federal government is out of control, and has been for quite a long while now. It's just that, as a Brit, you should demonstrate a little more humility, given your own bloody history.

How far back in history are you wanting to go? Give Texas back to Mexico and I'll be quiet - not only Britain that has done bad things. Tell us how America saved the World in WWII by coming in during the last few years or so of conflict, tell us again how you were so successful in Vietnam (and while we're at it we can ask the people of Laos how they feel when they are still losing lives to unexploded ordnace and landmines put there by the US? Or how Cambodians feel about how you bombed the snot out of them and allowed Polpot to take control of the country? Tell me again what Brtain has done to slaughter people in the last 20 years like the good ol' boys of the USA?

They joined the US in all of the recent wars. Duh. Either step out of your cave, or don't get piss drunk and start typing on forums with Yanks that saved your Grand daddy's life.

Thank you so much for saving our grand daddy's lives.Apologies for the uk not being silly enough to get involved in Vietnam to save your Grand daddy's lives.

Interesting to note how the US can't even take a dump before consulting with the UK first,also interesting to note Obama's latest big rhetoric on what he was going to do to Syria till all of a sudden the UK said no,creating a nice dollop of egg on Obama's face,when faced with having to do a u-turn coz none of his buddies fancied it.We're not quite as silly as you look.

My dearest Mister Thak-SIN

Aeon, about as easy to find as a needle in a haystack,got one in my local central plaza but that's about the only one,so try googling Aeon in your location.

About as likely as Australia becoming a republic.

That action by the police will only kick more trouble off.
