In 10 years I see Thai baht equal to a British Pound.

This news is like saying real estate board predicts 500% condo growth in 3 years

Having recommended Airess here I owe it to the community especially Sheryl to recommend something else. 

This is my last month in Canada, so I decided to try a few things. One of them is pure (99.8%) Aloe Vera juice. Ordered several buckets from Wall Mart and just after 2 days the stuff works better than I imagined. The constant breathing problems that I have are 90% better just from drinking the juice. The best part is I can eat crap, drink coffee and just have a grass of juice and 2 hours later I'll feel better.

The only problem is night time. I don't think I will ever sleep better no matter how much I raise my body.

Now I absolutely dread going back to Thailand as I am unsure that I will be able to find a proper Aloe Vera juice. Does anyone have any clue where to find the non sugary version widely available in stores.

I have never heard of anybody milking the system. Please explain which system is there to be milked.

Milking the visa loopholes.... such as embassy certifying your fraudulent income ???? 

Milking the public Thai hospitals instead of having proper insurance ????

Using the cheap Thai labor for your own benefit, but when a Thai women does the same and take your house you cry on the forums and media ???? ???? ????

Cheap charlie old farang go home ????

You're kidding, right? Either that, or the bar of your expectations of female pulchritude is set about 2 cm off the ground.

Looks better to me than 95% of working girls Pattaya expats are paying every month.

I bet she is 1000% better in the sack too. 

Free lunch AND dinner.

incidentally, she is stuffing her face in that photo 

Extra points for being Australian (like my ex-wife) and looks like a hard core feminist (like my ex-wife).

They make me **m so h*rd

She's fine looking. I'll pay for her lunch.

Sounds a bit like my acid reflux. Let me guess... you got some ear pressure problems? Occasional tinnitus?

ENT may be completely useless in this case. You need a GI

There is a bus from swampy direct to Jomtien? Like an idiot for the past 4 years wide and I would always take a taxi to Ekkamai then catch the bus then wait ages for the baht bus if we stayed in jomtien.

Where is the bus station at jomtien located?

I downloaded your resume just for the lolz and as suspected it is completely useless for the Thai market.

That being said, you can teach English. Just add a picture of your mug to the resume.

Currently I am using my wife's insurance which only gives me 50% of her benefits (like she gets 2000b per doctor allowance a day, I get 1000b).

Would it be possible for me to upgrade the insurance or would it be better just to get another one? She is with AIA through her work.

I remember 13 years ago when I bought my off the plan 10 th floor, 80 sqm condo half way between Asoke and Nana bts for sub 5 million and all the warnings and nonsense about never buy real estate you will lose 50 % immediately blah blah.
I look around now and see the insane prices and crazy rents around lower Sukhumvit and glad I didn't listen

How much is it worth now?

BTW, what is Bangkok downtown? I was always under the impression that Bangkok doesn't really have downtown, just different sections that are more developed. I guess these days the argument could be made that it is where the major BTS link is which would be Siam?

it doesnt tell me anything about the 'money',

but it does tell me that its geared towards those that have already,

money makes money

So, Venezuela being number 1 on the list I guess all the Farang hisos will be jumping the Thai boat and investing in Caracas?

OP,

this shows that the numbers are totally bogus.

in Switzerland for example, a household would need about 40 to 50 years to pay off a 90 sqm apartment in the center, yet the website says 10 years. totally bogus.

Please provide evidence except "totally bogus".

Remember, these numbers are for the whole country, not the major economic centers/capital cities.

I know nothing about Switzerland, but I imagine the price of real estate depends a lot on the region. 

Is there anything left on this forum besides discussing prostitution or being scammed by a bargirl?

to buy real estate.

I understand it is the price to income ratio at play here and not the actual price per square meter, but it should tell you a lot about the "money" in this country.
