I have a final payment due on a condo purchase due in September of this year ($200,000USD) I would like to purchase some sort of hedge to lock in the present rate – Can someone advise how I as a US citizen could buy such a hedge contract to lock in the present rate…

But would it be better to change the insurance money into AUD because the baht is a lot stronger at the moment.

Even better rate if you stuff all the Baht into your suitcases and exchange it offshore

I would suggest doing a 4-6 month rental test before you put down B5 million plus... take a look here - they seem to have the condos you are interested in... http://www.longstayers.com/view.php?locati...20Hin&cat=9

To stop short of cutting a hole in your most excellent roof I would run it up the outside wall and an L to run it under the overhang to the back of the house just past the edge of the back overhang - try to keep the terminal point away from any windows.

makkasan seems to have a bad reputation , anyone confirm ?

Don't know this place or many others either. Patpong gogo bar touts have a very bad rep. according to reports.

As Bill Clinton would say... "It depends on how you define the word bad..."

And BOT is calculating their loss on their own Onshore rate!... Take that loss and double it Offshore

Make sure your printer is compatible...

You would not happen to be German by any chance

Sounds like no harm done... Said German may be walking a bit funny... But he will be back....

or any post started by Topfield...

I bet some Junta bureaucrat has thought of replacing the present retirement visa with an Elite Card scheme with a B50,000 annual fee .

So how would you all feel about a 1 years visa for B50,000?...

Elite Card lives on, but may be much cheaper than B1m

CHATRUDEE THEPARAT

The much-criticised Thailand Elite Card programme will be overhauled to do away with the existing system of distributors and country partners, the Tourism Authority of Thailand board said yesterday.

Stripper around the world are spinning on their polls at 1/2 mass...

they should paint the inside of the airport that green its nice !

I think they have used the neon orange on a few of the runways...

Cracks are all overblown... New guy from the Junta has been out to look at the runways and announce they got it all wrong - he sees no cracking... just minor problem just like most airports in America... Same Same... No worry...

Could be a lot worse...

U lost count I said to just drag the emails into a folder on the desktop!... My method was stated in plain English... Without any hyperlinks to Microsoft.com or any suggestion of a scavenger hunt for the .pst - which once found and screwed around with may lead to the total loss of ones email...

Put your contacts in the same backup folder using the same method...

That would be the doing it the "hard way" and could also lead to lost appointments (in the calendar) and "who knows what else" the user "forgot" to export / import.

The automated method that Deke mentioned above.

The "manual" method without using Personal Folders Backup application.

Not knowing the OP's level of computer expertise I was offering the KISS method

There is a simpler way to do this... Create a folder on you desktop called backup... open Outlook and reduce the application so you can see your emails and the backup folder at the same time... right click on an email and hold it down and drag it over onto the backup folder - copy made!... You can click on one email and then hold down the ctrl key and "a'... all emails will be highlighted... now drag all to the backup folder - All emails copied to folder

What happens to the user's contact list if you backup with this method? Can the user recover the contact list should the backup ever become the primary? I don't think so.

I seem to recall that Mrs Thaksin was allowed to take some 80+ unchecked suitcases out of the country a little while back

I second that - If you don't like the content and do not have anything to contribute then go elsewhere... Topfield has every right to sit at the bar and say what he feels...

So if one were to wire transfer funds into Thailand one should request that dollars be transfered and then one would get the onshore BoT promotional rate - Right?
