  1. Americans always think that ANY people having a lot of money deserve respect and admiration...and nobody looks about how its did it. Money can be made with more dishonesty than skills.... and Trump probed many times that he do not have idea about what is an honest businesses.

    In the first Republican Debate, and explaining his profitable Bankruptcies, and the financial damage that its inflicted in other companies, Trump said "I just used the system, and the other companies were not so honest anyway"

    Those were the public words of the top Republican running candidate to the Presidency of the US...and more like it still coming.

    Trump is just a pathetic clown.

  2. Newsweek said that the reason behind this decision is not just humanitarian...or because the PM was also a "refugee" also other times, but because Germany needs low wage laborers and professionals to keep its economy growing....

    Hummm.....Very strange in the times of robotics ...

    I may be wrong, but In my opinion, these refugees probably are not the most skilled ones...and culturally..will be a big shock.

    Germany is getting more than refugees..... a lot of new problems...

    I am very curious in find out what is about car transport trucks passing by every week in Chiang Rai/Bandu on the route to the Mae Sai Myanmar border. All those trucks are loaded with pristine second hand cars without license plate, and from brands and models not common in Thailand. Some Japanese 2008 to 2010 models selling in the US, like Lexus, Acura, Mitsubishi Montero, etc, and even a luxury Chinese brand. I didn't noticed European brands.

  3. This may not be totally related.

  4. All depends if you have Equity or not in your present car financing. If you have Equity, you can sell the car to a private party, the seller will pay the loan balance and you will get any difference with the total price. With that cash, you may have enough for a down payment in a new car.

    If you do the deal in this way using your car in trade for a new one, the dealer will pay for your present car a lot less than selling privately.

  5. At your age is easy to learn languages, and you will find nice people in Thai and English schools, and the best places to find nice young people is around universities, Neeman and Doi Suket areas for the Chiang Mai University and Quansim area for the Rajabhat University. Also, In those areas housing for young people is more affordable than in tourist areas.

    Are you shy?..but American?....Not a problem..just approach any girl you like, and use your English to ask for directions. probably you will start a nice conversation...and ask to share a coffee or meal place...or...get info for a date. If people do not pay attention to you..it is because you do look like average Thai guy..but..you are American! Thai girls like foreigners.

    • On the news Today:

    Egyptian mogul wants to buy Mediterranean islands to host refugees

    Looks like some countries and people, can offer just stupid ideas.

    Egypt got only 3% of Syrian refugees.

    How about the Sinai Desert? It is Egyptian, big and empty, and occupation can be done, with money, water, and a lot of hard work.

    Nothing is impossible... specially for a billionaire, and an Arab, if wanted.

    Statistics with other countries "refugees", many years ago in the US, shows that only 60% were willing to do sacrifices to make a living, after finding easier ways to do it, not always honestly or legally. Europe is getting, not just more people, it is getting a VERY BIG problem. Not all those people are "refugees"..many...too many...are just people looking for an easier life.

    Every country have that kind of "refugees".

    The main cause of this problem or "opportunity" was the UK, the US, and France. The ones that now are not very willing to get the refugees of its wars in the Middle East and Africa. No "thousands"... millions are coming, and that is what ISIS wants to do...big troubles to the Western world.

    Ask those countries to take responsibility, and the others Arab countries that still without "revolution". Egypt, Saudi, Pakistan, Dubai, etc, etc, not all Europe. At this particular moment in Europe....this is a recipe for more recession, and violence. It is a Disaster.

  6. Marketed as a nutritional supplament they can make any claims they like, wonder if they have the courage to do a real test with a control group recieving placebos etc. ...then peer reviewed.

    You seem to know little to nothing about Thailand's FDA regulation of nutritional supplements and the health or medical claims that can, and cannot, be used on their labels and in their marketing.

    Yes, there are mislabeled products on the Thai market that make unproven claims, but those products are illegal under Thai FDA law.

    I have a long time American friend with expertise and many years experience in dietary/food supplements regulation in USA and he says Thai FDA is actually much more stringent in supplement regulation than in USA and Europe.

    True. That's why so many Chinese fake dietary suplements are selling well in the USA...Nothing better than the Thai ones.

  7. By my own experience, banks here are very conservative about qualifications and credit. For a 8000/month payment, may require at least 30000/month income. The best chance to get financing in a bank, will be buying a mix-use 2 stories townhouse in a good commercial location.

    Foreigners can buy and finance condos under its solo name with a good down payment, direct with the developer. A bank will ask for at least 2 years of good employment, at least 2 years of a good credit history, etc...and most do not finance for foreigners.

  8. I hope you speak Thai, not only helpful to get a teaching job countryside, also to meet and speak with the head monk in some of the big temples and meditation retreats where you can get free shelter and food, and may get some help in resolving your immigration and health problems.

    In BK look for the Buddhawataram Institutute. In Chiang Mai for Monk Chat www.monkchat.net and the Doi Suthep Meditation Center, in Chiand Rai for the V.Vajiramedi Meditation Center. If you speak Thai, you even can volunteer teaching English to the monks, doing translations, etc, and light work in exchange for a better place for you to rehabilitate yourself. Good luck, and take care of your situation ASAP with faith, work, and trust.

  9. I just got the news from official source.

    Now, you can get the Green Card ( Permanent Residence ) in the US investing 500.000 US Dollars. Just more 5 years to get Citizenship.

    The US Government wants to promote foreign investors to come to the US, and in my opinion it is a good moment to do it now.

    Chinese are already doing it for long time. Now......with this new rule...the US will be flooded with Asians and Middle Eastern "laundry experts" and.., ..again... will be a real estate and stock market boom.

  10. I study Tarot and Kabbalah for hobby. I do not like to use it in other people. It is very interesting, precise sometimes, and easy to learn. I do not have doubts that our lives are connected with events and energy changes in the full universe.

    Only very few people do Astrology seriously, because it a very complicated task, and it is not a future telling to become rich. Most astrologers do just for hobby, because will be very expensive to customers to do it commercially. Probably some rich people are in contact with good astrologers.

    I have a close friend in the US that is a professional in other area, but a serious astrologer, and I know his work. He said that doing it properly can show the most dramatic events in a person life, even reason and time of death.

    He only do under written conditions and contract, and for some very particular people. He never do it for friends and family.

    The ones online, or cheap, are just scammers.

  11. E-LOOK NT 96650 - 1090 THB with 2 years warranty.

    Bought one..and I had to buy another one to use like a home camera...For the money...the best!

  12. Look up what Pajero means to a South American Spanish speaker.

    Its name is just right.

    The car is so beautiful and hot...that owners do not need partners to have fun.....

    Why changes its name in South America??? Bad Marketing strategy..."Drive a Mitsubishi Pajero to feels gooooddd" ...will sell.

    By the way...I still looking for an older model Montero AWD.
