In a three story townhouse with a drain pipe from the third floor to the ground floor that had no access, the maintenance guy had a "snake" that was able to run down the drain pipe and clean it out completely. It was excellent.

Absolutely my experience. Thais in Isaan, for the most part, speak Thai just fine. They will often slip into the local dialect with friends and family, but they will speak Thai with you just fine. And could make for a fun time learning, as you will be exposed to both, as well as the wonders of Isaan (donning flame retardant undies...)

Investment options in Thailand ?
timendres replied to mja1906's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Please, do not. One thing I have learned in all those years of Wall Street is to listen. Because the best ideas come from the most unlikely places - and people. While many "quants" these days are PhD level mathematicians, there is so much about investing and speculating that cannot be summed up with math. -

Been working on WallStreet for over 30 years. Building real-time trading systems that leverage risk-arb and statistical anomalies. -
Came to meet a girl (in 2001), but fell in love with the country. I stay because I really like Thai people. As well as the food, the weather, the girls, the low cost of living, and the entertaining news.

timendres replied to mja1906's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Investing is a long path that requires little time each week - maybe a few hours. Investing does not produce "a fortune" until a couple decades have passed and compounding performs its magic. Speculating, on the other hand, requires a full time commitment in order to produce "a fortune" in less than a decade. Many investment advisors are investing their own money for the long run. They are not speculators. While I agree that a large number of investment advisors are subpar, there are good ones who are worth their price. -
In my experience, his welcome will have so much more to do with his personality and how he treats other people, than it will with him having a boyfriend.

What USA banks use IACH with Thailand?
timendres replied to jmd8800's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I solved this with Skype. I have their international calling plan, so unlimited free calls to and from the US. I also purchased a US phone number that is hooked up to Skype. Calls to my US number ring Skype. And the SMS messages with OTP sent by Capital One appear in Skype. It has proven to be very useful. -
What USA banks use IACH with Thailand?
timendres replied to jmd8800's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I use wire transfers, from Capital One and from my little credit union in Ann Arbor MI. Both can be done online easily, fees are reasonable, and the spreads are acceptable. I gave up on IACH after several banks indicated they will not support it until forced by regulation. -
