  1. Just to put it all in perspective, way back in 1996 I only got 36 baht per pound, A very few years later it went as high as 90 baht (for a very few days). My point is that exchange rates fluctuate up and down over time.

    The best I ever got was 89.95.

    True what you say, but in addition things have got much more expensive here!

    Now i know why Thai people avoid eating beef.

    I knew that buffalo was strong, but not that strong. whistling.gif laugh.png

    Every day there are drunks that kill people on the roads and highways. Let this be a lesson to those that pay no attention to the laws of the country.

    Not to mention all the sober reckless drivers that kill people on the road.

    I got rid of my driver when I realized i could drive better with a bottle of Scotch in me!

    Not that I do that these days.

  3. Stiglitz is a great economist I have read his books - he will tell whats wrong but never WHY

    Why would the US government remove the Glass–Steagall Act?

    Why would the UK create the big bang deregulation?

    Why would they:

    1) assist jobs to be shipped abroad to China?

    2) allow a housing bubble to be created?

    3) want their economies mired in debt?

    4) create expensive wars in the Middle East (remember WMD's)

    These things happen because the real people in power (not their puppets like Obama) are pursuing a globalist New World Order.

    And you as a citizen of the West are unlikely to be a winner in it!

    Thailand - no matter its faults expect its economy to keep doing better against the Western ones.

  4. If they want to improve smokers health they should stop using radioactive mineral ash as a fertilizer. Tobacco plants have an affinity for absorbing radioactivity. A 30 a day smoker receives 80 milliseverts of radiation per year from particles absorbed into their lungs. 80Ms =10 CAT scans, or about 7650 chest X-Rays. Every Fukushima makes the situation worse. If someone needs to smoke, smoking cigars is a safer choice.

  5. TIME Magazine Adolf Hitler: Man of the Year, 1938 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,760539,00.html

    There are still those radical isolationist types in America today, many call themselves libertarians and followers of the irrational cult of Ayn Rand and Rand Paul.

    Libertarian doesn't mean racist! Its about stopping government from taking too much control and operating an agenda to the benefit of a super rich minority which is to the long-term detriment of the majority of people its meant to serve. There are plenty of Libertarians of all races incl black & Jewish.

  6. Google says the FBI is monitoring the Web for potential terrorist activity.

    I heard they Googled "terrorist" and got about 90,600,000 results in 0.21 seconds. rolleyes.gif

    Checking out all those search results should keep them busy for a while.

    I think its all "Conspiracy Theory" nonsense myself...

  7. The country's vice president Nicolas Maduro said that the long-standing president died at 4:25pm local time in the country's capital Caracas, using the broadcast to call for 'unity, tranquility and understanding'.

    ‘We have no doubt that commander Chavez was attacked with this illness,’ added Mr Maduro, fingering ‘imperialist’ foes led by the United States.

    He said: 'The old enemies of our fatherland looked for a way to harm his health.’

  8. Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez speculated that the US might have developed a way to weaponise
    cancer
    , after several Latin American leaders were diagnosed with the disease. The list includes former
    Argentine president, Nestor Kirchner (colon cancer) Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff (lymphoma cancer), her
    predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (throat cancer), former Cuban president Fidel Castro (stomach cancer) Bolivian
    president, Evo Morales (nasal cancer) and Paraguayan president Fernando Lugo (lymphoma
    cancer). What do they have in common besides cancer? All of them are left-wing leaders. Coincidence?

    Others:Alexander Litvinenko poisoning by polonium

    Yasser Arafat possible poisoning by polonium
    Canadian politician Jack Layton died of some dreadful kind of mysterious, fast-acting cancer.


  9. No matter how we think Thailand is run its still run on better long term economic principles than many Western countries.

    If you study economics it becomes apparent that many countries like the US/ UK have been ruined over the last 30 years.

    Some people consider that this has been a deliberate policy - either way, expect more of the same i.e. stronger Baht and declining exchange rates in the future!

    I'm expecting a rapidly declining Baht in the near future.

    Civil war is usually bad for the exchange rate.

    Last time we had the red/ yellow shirt Bangkok standoff the Baht stayed steady and in fact rose slightly.

    Many ferangs wish it were not so but will just have to face that they are not the overall winers in this game of globalism.

    yeah, Max Keiser knows! laugh.png

    No its taking 7 years to move 1,500 tons of gold to Germany because Angela Merkel is carrying it back one bar at a time in her handbag!

    not 1500 but 350 tons will be repatriated from the US. your information is as good as the one of Max Keiser coffee1.gif

    You understand its a joke - right?? So no need to be deadly accurate.. If you're the expert why are they taking so long to ship the gold then?

  12. If the dollar, euro and yen were to crash it would not just be a Thai problem .... it would be global. And they should think themselves lucky they didn't have the economic genius of Gordon Brown costing the nation a fortune selling off gold when the price was rock bottom. Come to think of it Thailand must be swimming in gold only most of it is hanging around hi-so necks.

    Brown was the biggest liar and hypocrite that ever came out of the UK, just like all Labour politicians, Labour are bigger liars and crooks than all the political parties put together.

    According to Max Keiser, in the first part of this discussion, the reason that its taking 7 years to transfer the gold back to Germany and why Brown sold the UK gold so cheap is because the gold held in reserve banks has actually been "leased" out, which is a fancy way of saying it may still be in the vault, but its been sold on.
