My peanuts are 15% cheaper.

Normally 10bht/bag but Tesco are selling them 2 bags for 17bht.

Cooking oil seems to have risen from 40bht to 45bht but that's about it for inflation in my household.

Bought 6 bags of TFM bread flour 32bht/each, same price for the last 11 years.

And 2 bags of Star all purpose flour 24bht, same price for the past 11 years.

And you trust that what you buying is the real thing , not packed with something else

Why not.

Most of the medications I buy, would have an immediate and obvious effect if they didn't work.

s there a cheaper BP med than Blopress as its 1100 baht PM

Doxazocin, 1bht/tablet (2mg) from the government hospitals or 250bht per 100 (4mg) from any Thai pharmacy.

I've always thought the Thai baht isn't dropping because China doesn't want it to drop.

The Thai factories are all closing, the tourists have all gone, and Thai crop prices are the lowest in the past ten years.

What other possible explanation can there be?

My mother used to rap my lunch up in a road map

Was she as good as Dr. Dre?

Yes that was definitely her solution too. She was a simple farm girl from up north who didn't know much about science. 

Just to point out generic Amoxcillin 500mg is 25bht for a packet of 10 at Makro pharmacy.

(40bht in the other pharmacies)

No need to go anywhere near a doctor or hospital.

HIV from female to male only happens in theory. There are HIV positive women who have had sex with their male partners for years and not infected them. It’s PC scare mongering mate. Unless you take a cack in your azz you won’t get HIV.

Have to disagree with you on this one.

My heterosexual pal died from AIDs last summer, treated for a year in a London hospital, caught it from a Thai girl. I'd travelled all over SEA with him (Romance travellers), he never showed any interest in guys, ladyboys, or injecting drugs.

If you look at Vietnam, it's GDP is way below Thailand's. The UK lost a little less because investor's have already priced in Brexit and all of Britain's economic issues. If you look at the pound, it declined from USD 2.14200 in 2007 to 1.29 today.

1. I'm not American, the price of the pound Vs the USD has no relevance to my life.

2. I came to Thailand in 2009, when I was getting 50bht to 1GBP, 2007 is a fairly random year to pick why not 1997? or 2001?

She also took a much less pushy approach and spoke extremely good English

Man, that was your first clue.

99% of Thai women who speak extremely good English have dated a ton of foreighers.

Whenever you see a Thai woman who speaks very good English, assume automatically she's been servicing Farangs for cash.

My Thai daughter is the 1%, 22 years old, Native English speaker, never been on a date.

She would never speak with a foreign guy (or any other guy for that matter) socially.

I held up my end of the bargain and she didn't hold up hers.

.... if a girl starts monkey branching ........

Women never hold up their end of any agreement.

Best not to enter into agreements with them, then they can't accuse you of letting them down.

You do understand Roosh's male supremacist/PUA speeches are just nonsense? 

Once he hit the wall, age 40 no more free ones no matter what his skills, he gave it all up and found religion.

Have more children is the answer.

You can either have them yourself, or get some ready made from the village.

Even more potential sons/daughters in Thailand than there are wives/gfs.

She said she wanted a serious relationship and wanted me not to cheat on her. Ok fine she’s a working girl so you need to take those things with a grain of salt but a lie is still a lie at the end of the day. You are in the wrong for excusing this and I wasn’t cheap with her either. I know the customs over there. I paid for all the meals on the second Holliday and good amount of other things too. 

 ....... and 1,000bht a bang?

Same thing that happens now only less of it?

The EU are facing a power disaster as they have put so much into solar and wind power, then taken so many coal/oil power stations offline. The greens are likely to destroy our civilisation, if our woman don't destroy it first by refusing to breed with us, or the savages our governments import to drive our wages down don't kill us first.

Astonishing that a country where the sun shines most of the time has made so little use of solar power. If all new buildings - commercial as well as residential were automatically fitted with solar panels, we would need fewer polluting power stations and everyone would benefit.

And at night when everyone switches on their air-con, lights and TV ..... what do you think would happen?

If the vote had excluded EU citizens then YES would have won.

You didnt know about that?

I'll add it to the list of stuff you have no idea about regarding Scottish independence. 

If the vote for Scottish independence had included England, you'd have been independent by now.

Don't expect to work in England without a work permit and VISA, same as any other 3rd world citizen though.

As for car manufacturing.

I'd be happy if England stopped all car importing, and manufacturing by foreign owned companies.

Make them all 100% English both parts and assembly, or choose another method of transport.
