Where are my keys ? father. grrrr!?

There is a few examples not that different from anywhere else really.

Thats just small talk.

Hardly a meaningful conversation as i suspect the op was referring to...

Why would you possibly want to embarrass the poor girl and make her lose face if she was only doing her job dealing with a customer ahead of you in the queue?

I can picture the scene now, like some cringeworthy Mr Bean sketch.

If you want to look at GBP/THB you have to look at GBP/USD, that's as far as you need to go, MJP's chart of GBP shorts makes excellent reading, what say you now "onemoreamerican"?

You CANNOT look at GBP vs USD. Each manipulates its own money to help its exports. The UK would like to have the GBP lower but it can't get it there. The US would like to have the dollar lower. The problem is that both are seen as safe havens and no matter how much they lower interest rates, money is flowing in.

Sometime when people short a currency they lose and sometimes they win. I don't play that game because really big international money will usually beat me and leave me as one of the suckers.

You've lost it NS, you don't know what you're talking about, over and out.

I've gone back and forth with you enough. If anyone doesn't know what he's talking about it's you. You have no education or knowledge of this subject yet you insist on making uninformed statements. I would be most happy if you would stop replying to my posts.

I post links. I just posted a new one which shows 661 billion baht that the government owes. That's a back breaker for Thailand. No one knows where any rice is or what condition it's in. The government is corrupt and it could all be stolen. This is a major concern and a number that could break that bank and the government. It could send the baht into a tailspin.

Where are your links? Where are your facts? Where is your cohesive debate?

Debate me with links and facts. Debate me on a world scale which is what drives currencies. Put some facts forward backed by links.

Don't just sit there like Naam and take pot shots with no facts and no idea what's going on. Neither you nor Naam has a clue what's happening and yet you like to sound important. Sounding important without links, facts, or cohesive debate only makes you look like what you are.

So please, "over and out."

Its wrong to say neversure doesn't know what hes talking about...

Pretty much everything hes been banging on about for the last 6 months+ appears to be happening right now.

They might be cheaper but you cant consider them a investment. I mean you cant even own it unless its a condo and the ones I've seen look like they have a 30 year max shelf life, if you're lucky...

Some of these houses in northern England are going dirt cheap as low as £28,000 in some areas and give a good return on investment when let out, absolute min £400 pm. They dont need much much maintenance, plus labour for building trades are at rock bottom in those areas now, plumbers and electricians are fighting for work and slashing prices.

Not a glamorous investment i know, you wont be able to show it off and impress all the oh so hi-so girls with it, but its as cheap and safe as you will find right now.

Get a few of those on your books and you can rent a nice place in Thailand and when the party is over, it always ends, you can just pack up and get on a plane to wherever.

I recommend people in the Thailand or UK (???) house buying decision predicament take RogueTrader's advice. It is very sound.

Thanks MJP- I've noticed using Zoopla that some of these houses usually repo's by the bank are being offered for close to 50% in some cases of what the owner paid around 2006 just before the peak. With inflation that makes these properties very cheap and if your living in thailand its forcast that the gbp is going to strengthen against the baht, it could be a winner for those choosing to live in Thailand.

I think we're in for a short term technical boom in the UK due to more BoE and Govt fixing. But at some point interest rates have to rise or real market rates will detach completely from the base rate (already happening for most borrowers) and prices fall back into line with incomes (which are falling here). Sadly, many of my friends bought during the boom and even now the mortgage repayments take most of their income, it's just not sustainable.

As a foreigner, trying to own houses and land in Thailand is not a winning formula.

True they will rise but i dont think to any crazy levels. It seems the BoE and the Fed, ECB can keep fixing the system, they've been doing it for a hell of a long time now.

TPTB seem to be cleverer than many people gave them credit for at the start of this crisis and evidently they'll do anything to stop it failing even if that means breaking foreign economies in the process.

They're too invested in it, they own most of it, its where they live, holiday and educated their children.

We never had the total collapse many people have been predicting for the last 6 years, i dont think we ever will.

Most (not all) of the people i know in the UK have got through this recession almost unscathed so far, some are better off now than before due to the low interest rates they've had for the last 5 years...

It will be interesting to see what type of medicine Asian economies get when their economies hit a real rough patch again.
