are there and bars in laos where u can meet ladies, googles searches make it unclear...

should I choose transit or tourist

im just going to pop in then back to thailand...

The weaker the Thai Baht, the more Foreign Tourists will come here and spend money to keep Thai Nationals Employed.

And in another similiar thread, there is a guy who thinks people like me & you are selfish coz we are hoping for the baht to sink. As the guy mentioned, we are only thinking of ourselves.

Sent from my GT-I9200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

nobody is putting a gun to the thai national's heads and saying dont buy gold, thais who held in money in gold have been prtected in th last 13 years

the guy who thinks we are selfish doesnt understand that it is the failure of our parents educating their children and them selves about why they are fat, why the dad has cancer why prices are going up across the board but wages are stagnant...

the govt, the central banks and the specualtors are the mechanism to destroy the production and the freedom of a country

but its everybodys fault for sleeping in the took took all day instead I taking 5min to figure it all out

instead they will lash out at the jews, the capitalists, the speculators the rain gods when the mob starts to rumbles

I like dating sites. If nothing else they are entertaining.

But they are also the best way for me to meet a school teacher, a nurse... I like educated and smart women which I don't find at 7-11 or the mall or cutting my hair.

I troll the banks and post offices and similar places where the gals are educated, have good jobs and regular hours.

No matter how you approach it in Thailand, meeting women is fun. But who wants to meet one with a 3rd grade education for more than one night, 555.

Has it ever occurred to you, that a woman who works in a 7-11 or any other job that you feel is below your standard, may be very intelligent and smart

just never had the money to get a better education.

Unlike our home countries money buys an education here.

hahahah I know so many 7-11, dish washers etc workers that have a degree!!

bjggest scam on the planet is education

Basically it's all about luck and timing, up and down.Take advantage if it falls, if you can..I am looking for 57...This isn't a moral issue it's just a period in time of a fluctuating economic cycle..which will for a short time favor the west ( it would seem),

sry its about production, highs and lows represent the rarity of commodity. a commodity that is plentiful will have a low price and a rare commodity will be expensive.

the highs and lows you are referring to today represent the tsunami of fiat money rushing around the world into computer reciepts for a physical commodity. basically the market today reacts violently to the central bank and the speacial bank who can borrow drectly from the cental banks printing/lending the money.

there is another element to this that adds a very dangerous mechanism to the game, its related to interest rates.

you are right, you can make money using these highs and lows.

but there is a really evil problem growing, you can see the progressive stages of this in backwards countries all over the world.

People need to be preparing and educating their children because each generation will have an extremely harder time to live the same quality of life like the previous generation.

usually a person in a high position will pull the plug accidently cause a massive spike in interest rates exposing the game any way... but people will still blame the jews or something

I was looking at it purely from a foreigner wanting to import currency from abroad..

I was referring to the highs and lows of the currency range..

But all this qe, too big to fail, failure to remedy the flaws in the banking system, elected governments pandering to the financial markets and therefore corporations..it all seems about favoring the rich and not the general population. Even though the economies of the west are improving most still do not see any benefit..all seems a false dawn to me..

I alway look at my wage and am just shocked that in 30years time I cant save enough for retirement after I minus all the living costs and minius the compounded inflation.

but they still want to say the US is improving?? I hate to listen to all the expert voices, the good people and the bad people.

all u need to do is look in your own wallet.

I was lucky enough to catch the last breath of prosperity from 2000 to 2007.

I could save a pretty big sum of cash.

but because of that inflatio it couldnt never buy a house or a business, i grabbed the opportunity to multiply my money by participating in the thai devaluation.

I really dont think that the thai window will be open for much longer, I often wonder how it will end... im going to try and find similar situations in history.

this is a global disease mum hits children, children hit children

businesses use govt to secure monopolies, small business shrinks govt grows

govt promises the people free things destroying business causing inflation, things go wrong people demand more govt solutions, so it gets worse

these are destructive self feeding loops we are caught in

it has nothing yo do with thailand

the farang is just as immoral as the thai next to him, its in out upbringing

people say we need the police and we need the socialized roads

the police wont be there when a burgler is in your face, they just clean up the mess, if even that

te roads???? theyve always been there, they always will a free markeg wouldnt even need them if you could think that far ahead

what are udon thani bars like? is it the same as chiang mai, im not a bar person type cause I hare drinking, I just want to have a look

I thinking the "rice farmer" doesn't give a stuff about the exchange rate.

He mostly works and lives his life without buying imported goods.

Diesel price is fixed by the government, same price today as 5 years ago.

But his land is worth 20x more than 13 years ago, so that might be good for him.

If he is worse off, but it isn't the exchange rate that did it.

the exchange rate has nothing to do with the thai farmer at first, the exchange rate is a tool used by the central bank to whore in foreign reserves from tourists.

the weaker your currency the more inflows a country will see, thats why countries will compete for a lower exchange rate

did you ever wonder why the 1000b bills are so new looking????

did you also ever wonder why thai people have trouble changing 1000b bills???????

I bet u ... there are now more 1000b bills than 100b bills!!!!

the thai farmer wont not care about this untill ten years later when he puts on his red shirt and wondered where all that hard work went

diesel is not fixed by the govt at all, other people are fored to pay for the farmers deisel, thus the price of product else where in the market GO UP!! PLUS THE TRANSFER COST!!

I feel so angry at people ... srry

Please explain to me how a "weak baht" is "good" for thai people??

13 years ago today the thai people have seen rising costs due to inflation (the thai govt prints baht to buy the foreign reserve inflows), THE WAGES ARE NOT KEEPING UP

is a thai national better off today?

now every body will cry exports

exports for inflation, the ONLY reason you want to export is to pay for goods that others can more efficiently make overseas...

but who has those foreign reserves to spend on those goods??? not the thai rice farmer, foreign reserves are held by the govt who printed baht to buy up the foreing reserves. IT IS SPENT buying US arms for the gov, and what ever else the government wants to TAKE off the law abiding world.

the thai nationals will forever see rising petrol, food and a growing government

why??? because 1 in 10,000 really really get it, and people are so arrogant to question the lies that are constantly repeated by people who parrot and dont think.

when you watch tv do you think about the mechanics to reproduce an image, using a wave medium?

people dont think they parrot, we are habitual creatures, we were never taught to think we were only taught to copy the words black board

Anyone "seeing" Elephants in rooms may have their sanity questioned especially if no one else can see Jumbo

I'm just interested to know more about the elephant.

Apparently 100 years ago it was easy to travel to foreign countries, but for some reason my dear old grandmother waited till she was over 60 to leave the country, and if her bizarre tales are to be believed, and those of my parents, it took several weeks on a leaky boat to get to their destination. I'd think she was losing her marbles, but my parents tell similar bizarre tales of their youthful travels.

Our friend may be reliving a past life, when he travelled to the Holy Lands of the East to fight for God and King, but even those crusades were, if the history books are to be believed, something of an oddyssey. Probably the history books have been doctored to make us think we're well off now...

This reminds me of a previous experience from my youth. We'd been out in the woods, and we came across some tracks. We followed them for a bit...

"Deer" says Bob.

"Sheep" says Dave.

"..." but before I could speak we had to jump as an Intercity 125 went past.

Obviously, anyone could be sidetracked by an elephant trail. Especially an invisible elephant - you don't see those every day

SC

wow u r so intelligent, seriously!!

im not that smart.

I live in thailand, there are countries a stones throw all around me.

I tries to take a leaky boat to laos from chiang mai, but it never got there.

one day ill make it to laos, I just am glad I have my passport. ..

seriously... why is no one pointing out the elephant in the room, why are we living in a global state of matial law, with mafia groups acting like trolls under a bridge stealing from travelers?

why are there basically zero adults or old men with philosophical wisdom

I think you're the only one seeing elephants. Perhaps too long up in the Golden Triangle.

I just see people whinging about a minor change to visa privileges, and off-topic whinging about privileges and obligations of foreigners resident in Thailand,

What kind of an elephant is it?

SC

so around 100 years ago no one needed a passport you could go where you want, only russia requied a passport, but of course russia was a dictatorship

todays you need a passport, and a body search, and dont your dare take your money any where, only 10k us $!!

and when im mention this 99% of people look at me like im a lunatic

at this point I really cbf and snatch the opportunity, shes blocked

Humm ... "I really cbf and snatch the opportunity" ... anyone up for a translation?

sry im on my mobile and am tired,

"I really cbf putting up with the bs, so I snatched the opportunity she presented me by not talking to her any more. like she asked. I blocked her.

the internet rocks, more power to u, I think some people r way to judgemental, my sister was crying about books going digital before it happened, and I love bars toooo

Personally if she's flipped out on you once already it's hardly the most auspicious of starts, I'd steer well clear and head back to the bars. At least then you can see the goods and establish a rapport (of sorts) before you move on with things.

I can't understand this internet dating thing. At least in a bar you can have a good drink and a laugh; the end result always seems to be the same.The internet thing seems to be popular with blokes who would rather say they met their hooker I mean girlfriend anywhere but in a bar....you know the type who will spend several hours convincing anyone who listens their lass is ''different'' before she skins him to the bone as they're so wrapped up in the fact she's not a bar girl, they develop a false sense of security and their guard is down.

From what I can gather, this internet dating caper is as fraught with exactly the same risks as pulling a dolly from a bar as most of these lasses seem 'too good to be true'' until the poor sap, finds out they're not what they seem or the "nice sweet "educated" lass (no kids) he's been carousing with online for the last few weeks has had more cock than Bernard Matthews (if you'll pardon the coarse turn of phrase) and has popped out more offspring than the average soi dog....usually when it's way too late and they wind up with egg all over their face....

The dating game can be fun, why not go for it in the real world?

I agree bro

so ive had it with bars and my wallet has butterflys in it just like me.

I find this website site.

im like <deleted> I give it a try.

I find three nice girls. I go to meet one girl at a restaurant. She looks nice in the photos. but she keeps saying to me that she is ugly and has a scar on her lip. I tell her not to worry, I look older than my age.

she tells me she met two other farang who it went real bad with. they like pretty girls. I said there bad and I dont care what she looks like.

I tell her im going to laos soon and she flips out and wants to know who with.

warning bells r ringing but I ignore them.

I tell her it for a visa and arrange to meet her thay night.

I meet her and of course her friends there who looks at me like Im a sleezy low life off the net.

the girl........ she looks...... um...... like shes had her face bashed in with a wooden plank............

Im not tom cruise either but no way.... I decide ill still date her cause I like her and we can talk well... just friendly dates

so I win them both over with my humor

the next day she starts to pressure me to tell her what I think of her... Ill copy paste the convo

XXXX I deleted it...

but I said she looks like a baby and I forget thats she is an adult lol

she says

sadly
you dont talk to me again

at this point I really cbf and snatch the opportunity, shes blocked

life is so horrible for some people especially if u dont accept your self

im new here and lonely, I need a girlfriend.

I dont speak thai thai yet, so I really was having trouble finding a girlfriend.

I said to my self stuff it ill just go to the bars.

the problem is bar girls are basically geniuses when it comes to men. they have heard it and seen it all from mens lips.


plus their bosses r on their backs to keep you spending.

I found a nice bar girl, we are still friends.

I decided to go to a local bar near my house. I got drunk and made friends with a really nice girl. Buddah only knows what she was saying to me.

finally she said u go home now. she gave mr a ring saying love forever and I left for another bar.

thats when a fat thai 28 yr old boy followed me, we went chick hunting together.

I payed for his beer. that when my face made contact with the sloppy mud. I open my wallet and the fat guy sees the 60k b in my wallet.

now when he sees me at night going home, he starts following me.

I guess he is trying to figure out where I live.

I always take back roads home now, and am xxxxxxx constantly paranoid.

it was a great lesson, im an idiot

seriously... why is no one pointing out the elephant in the room, why are we living in a global state of matial law, with mafia groups acting like trolls under a bridge stealing from travelers?

why are there basically zero adults or old men with philosophical wisdom
