Gold is dropping because the $US keeps ramping up and bond yields are declining … gold price will increase when these dynamics reverse. Real Estate demand will grow or decline based on its own macro factors, mainly interest rates. There are no safe havens right now other than cash and all can be said for cash is that it sucks less.

Indeed but none of those are legal

Truth? How unwelcome a concept. The other guy is always to blame.

Wow, I am so bored with people going on and on about Covid. Please give it a rest.

If it’s a blip, can we get rid of the masks now please?

In general best to invest in companies that “make stuff” and are profitable. This takes many/most tech companies off your radar. With interest rates increasing tech and bio tech not a good space to be. Commodities … agricultural, industrial metals, precious metals are where you will see the best returns. Shortages (Russia sanctions), China (end of lock downs, government stimulus), US dollar/FX are the conditions that will drive risk asset prices in these spaces. If you are fond of risk would buy Russia gold miners. They are presently dirt cheap and it’s almost a sure thing that Russia will back their currency with gold/commodities)

So in your world the cake guy did the right thing by stabbing someone who might not even been aware the woman was married? I guess you have some history behind your over reaction.

Always surprised why people get so bent an vile to over infidelity. Just find someone new who is worth your time. Is that so difficult?

This is the most interesting and well researched article on TVF in months!

So now all is ready for the expected influx of tourists.

The bigger risk for Asia is that the sharp drop in the JPY spreads to the RMB and if it does, the rest of Asia’s currencies will collapse.

Wow, the Ukrainian fighting reputation precedes them! A special police task force, with balaclavas and armed with silenced SMG’s. Who would have thought arresting tax evaders could be this brutal.

Every country is good for a single man provided you are not over weight and old …. then you need to be well off and generous in addition to overweight and old.

Stone cold killer at 14 years old. Lock her (and the BF) up and lose the key

I am rather keen on the young lady with the pink poster. She is not hard on the eyes and is kind of hot. The rest of them ... i guess i would shoo them away if they tried to get on my property.

With all of the issues in Thailand at the moment …. prostitution is their priority …. seriously?

I would be a bit more concerned with the the annihilation of a WWIII and/or a financial Armageddon caused by sanctions than the tourism numbers.

Lots of watch buy/sell sites on Instagram. My wife trades her high end watches there.

Why am I so drawn to these moronic headlines. I am so done with Covid but keep coming back to bathe in the excruciating nonsense.

Thailand could have chosen to approach this question as Mexico has. That is no testing and no pre approval to enter. Mexico’s tourist business is booming with prices through the roof. All Thailand has to show for its rigor is hand wringing.

Well it’s not like it matters what she thinks or does. She will never be PM without the support and endorsement of he can not be mentioned. Wonder how the Taksin clan stands there?

Agree. Russians can be some seriously tough SOB’s but they are as good and decent as any other people. Maybe put that hate on their leaders but not all Russians are evil or gangsters.

Well certainly when people in many countries can already buy it easily and legally.

What else do you expect from a group of autocrats like this. Perhaps they think unprovoked war is a good idea. That human suffering is OK. That lives ruined is just karma. Wonder what they would think if the PLA was marching into Thailand to liberate the Chinese diaspora.

I am enjoying a week holiday in Mexico at the moment. Normally,I would not hold up Mexico as a model country. However, it sure is nice to travel into here with no Covid restrictions/requirements of any kind … other than those imposed by the Canadian government to fly. Without comparing Thailand and Mexico on numbers of Covid deaths, tourism in Mexico is alive and well with all the hotels I tried to book nearly full. Parenthetically, Thailand is FAR better tourism value than Mexico (overpriced due to its nearness to the USA)
