  1. It's already been happening for some time, hence the price rise/s. Thailand doesn't know how to compete. Thailand has always been used to manipulating an unlevel playing field that's been in their favor. Well, Vietnam has now leveled the playing field, and winning the game.
  2. Yeah, same with me, and none of the capital base is EVER coming to Thailand, ever. 🙂
  3. Sounds very similar to what bar girls do, except "the gold" is in their pants, and it doesn't happen in a gym or tennis court, it happens in a bar. 😂
  4. Will Andrew be "suicided" like Epstien????
  5. Maybe because Andrew will start to sing like a canary for a reduced sentence.
  6. I'm Australian. I read this article today. https://www.9news.com.au/finance/australian-dollar-why-is-it-higher-what-happens-next-impact-economy-inflation-explained/26f64631-31ed-47ec-a0e7-ecfb4ee49859 "First up, despite Trump's claim to the contrary, the US dollar has not been doing so great. At the current level, the US dollar is around 15 per cent below its mid-2022 peak and circa 1.5 per cent under its 10-year average," Westpac head of international economics Elliot Clarke wrote on Monday. Trump himself is a factor here, as investors look to limit their exposure to his unpredictable, volatile presidency. "Investors are concerned that the US is no longer a safe place to park money," AMP deputy chief economist Diana Mousina said." No problem for me. AUD is up against the USD. Maybe MAGA means Make Australia Great Again. Thank you Mr. Trump. 🙂
  7. I posted. A dictatorship, masquerading as a democracy. Just look at how many military coups Thailand has in its history. If the vote doesn't go their way, they have a coup. I don't judge it by western standards. I just it by facts.
  8. Judgement November 2013. https://news.un.org/en/story/2013/11/455062#:~:text=In%20a%20June%201962%20judgment,its%20vicinity%20on%20Cambodian%20territory. "In April 2011, Cambodia requested the ICJ to interpret the 1962 Judgment, arguing that while Thailand recognizes Cambodia’s sovereignty over the temple itself, it does not appear to recognize the sovereignty of Cambodia over the vicinity of the temple." "In its decision today, the Court declared unanimously that the 1962 Judgement decided that Cambodia had sovereignty over the whole territory of the promontory of Preah Vihear, and that Thailand is obligated to withdraw its forces from that territory." Yet, they keep sending in their forces. For what? It's been judged as being in Cambodia, twice. If the Thai's want it so bad, declare war and take it, or accept the Court's ruling and withdraw.
  9. You presented it, not me. Yes, they did. It appears they have never accepted it, hence, long ongoing conflict. Thailand basically want "the car park" to the temple, to make money. No end to Thai greed. This was the second time. The Court ruled the land around the temple is in Cambodia. https://news.un.org/en/story/2013/11/455062#:~:text=In%20a%20June%201962%20judgment,its%20vicinity%20on%20Cambodian%20territory. Now here they are again fight, and for what? Twice to Court, twice lost. If they want it that bad, invade. The Thai's would, if they could. 🙂
  10. Wrong. With a PC. 1) A password needed. (usually the same as the app password) 2) I own a PC, just the same way I own a phone. 3) My PC / :a[top has a webcam, so, POTENTIALLY, face /eye scan possible, with my laptop also have a fingerprint reader, or, one can be added to a PC via a USB port. With online banking, you have all 3, but on your own network, so, like I said, no man in the middle attack.
  11. Just when you thought Australia had nothing left to sell, well, why not sell off some military properties. 😂 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/mapped-the-3-billion-in-defence-sites-the-government-wants-to-offload/l1mth8du1
  12. How does someone who claims to have worked for the public service until 70 not pay any tax???? Just BS.
  13. So, one post you are an opal miner, and another post you worked in public service. 🤣
  14. No, nothing to do with Robodebt. More to do with being outside of Australia for more than 183 days a year, therefore a non resident for tax purposes, thus 30% tax from #0 to $135,000, and no exemption for pension, which are deemed an income. No need for Robodebt when Immigration inform Centerlink, and they simply withhold the 30%, and how can you argue you are still a resident of Australia for tax purposes when you live in Thailand full time?
  15. They are now talking about raising the VAT. Another money grab. Using the pensions / pensioners as a excuse. Thailand's economy is tanking, so is its tourism industry. Money Go Down - Put Price Up - Thai Economics 101.
  16. So, it must be correct, right? 😂 Let's say they stopped fighting and it went back to Court again, for the third time. What is Thailand hoping for? It's been deemed to be in Cambodia, twice. If they want it, invade, conquer, and occupy, or accept it's in Cambodia and therefore not Thailand's to exploit as a tourist attraction. What's next? Thailand say Angkor Wat is there's as well?
  17. So, if Thailand is not a democracy, and not Communist, and not under a Dictatorship, what do YOU call Thailand?
  18. What has the Thai government built by way of tourism infrastructure to lure tourists into the new refurbished Inter Continental Hotel in Chiang Mai? The Inter Continental Hotel group have done their part, but what has the government done to lure the tourists? Zero. This is an example of what Vietnam is building. A world record long cable car. Vietnam is building tourist attractions in their own right.
  19. Apple manufacturing in Vietnam. https://vir.com.vn/apple-relocates-11-manufacturing-units-to-vietnam-104942.html&link=autochanger Vietnam making their own cars. https://vinfastauto.us/news/exporting-excellence-vietnamese-cars-making-waves-internationally Tourism is 21% of Thailand's GDP and they are rapidly losing that market share as well.
  20. I would just like to remind members that despite these terrible statistics, Thailand remains a perfectly fine country to invest in, and to move your life savings into. No, really, it's fine. 😂
  21. Can you post where are the good parts of Thailand?
  22. Do you meet them them the next morning when they have been dead for hours from supposed drowning, and their lungs are filled with water? Tell me, how does a deceased person from drowning expell air from their lungs / breath that the scent of alcohol can be detected by police?
  23. Yes, which I found interesting, and strange. Most people using a PC for online banking do so in their home, so on their own home network. Also, the chance of a break in and the PC / laptop being stolen is smaller than losing your phone or having it stolen, or broken. Many people have some form of antivirus on their PC, not so on their phone. Using a phone app for mobile banking means many people would be using a bar / cafe / restaurant etc wifi signal, thus, open to a man in the middle attack. I am not sure why banks view mobile apps as more secure. Also, a lost, stolen, or broken phone, means no access to online 00banking until you buy a new phone.
