Thailand Losing Tourist Edge to Vietnam and South Korea
Wife being Thai means talk of Thai food and travel to Thailand and Asia comes up often with customers. I always say go Thailand is past it's sell by date try Vietnam. As for men , I wonder how much the thickening of Thai women seen in the various blog videos compared to S Korean, and Japan matters? Both men and women don't travel to where artillery is being lobbed across borders with dozens of deaths. Soi dogs are ugly reality in Thailand as are eating rats. Don't forget out of all the North American game meat Lewis and Clark preferred dog.

Trump just made an idiot move
Funny thing is there are numerous people who have came forward with signed scribbles from the tramp. The receipts are plain to see in charity auctions.

Cannabis Clash: Small Businesses Fear Monopoly Under New Rules
It would be nice to know the THC content and that there aren't as my harmful chemicals in the product. If it's about 12$/ g in Colorado it can easily be produced at less cost in Thailand.

Stephen Fry and the Cultural Elite’s Contempt for Dissenting Women
Maybe in 1997. I just don't know what to think but I really don't enjoy seeing LB when I'm in town. But I also don't like seeing obese people with purple hair and people with tats all over. Especially head and face tats. I don't really like body alterations including masses of silicone, nose jobs and puffy lips. But maybe I need to do something with my turkey neck and drooping eyelids.

Are you bitter about western women?
I'm not bitter. I just always had a leaning to tanned, perfect, smooth skin. I also have a dislike for overweight. I like backs without flab. Bra strings shouldn't depress into the skin more than a cm if any. I prefer brunette's. I think hygiene has never been an issue in either US or Th for me but I like them natural and after a day in the office over freshly showered. I do see obesity in Thailand and read it was different in the 90's. I prefer small natural breasts. Never went to Brazil. Do have a fond memory with a Latina. Married 26 years the first time. It was successful is what I say despite ending. Dating in the US at 54 was depressing. Did have some fit women but their pale blotchy skin wasn't for me. The Asian conquests had the looks he liked. If a woman was fit at 50 she sure had an entitled attitude and was looking for a richer or more generous and flashy guy than me. They were looking for a life of vacations, nice dinners out, and maids. Lots of broken Western women. I'm sure I could have found happiness anywhere. We are all here talking about Thailand so for some reason life led us here. We all have that in common so stop attacking each other. I did think the Britman comment was funny. I wonder how his grow talents are? I wish to get the CM next visit and sample. I was also here often during the Bob period so I get all those jabs. Actually Bob has made me skeptical of what anyone posts everywhere.

China's Yuan to Replace the Dollar because of Trump!
And if we only knew how much insider trading has occurred. MBS probably made 4 billion for his 400 million plane gift. That trump is illegal accepting. His graft is as open as a baby sparrows mouth. He can't disappear soon enough.

Dating 22-Year-Old Thai Bubble Tea Girl - She Just Asked for 30K/Month – Am I Being Played?
She is getting coached by friends or Facebook. It's a pride thing. Thai people have all heard how much some farangs pay to support a gf. 30 k isn't a real bragging amount either. We don't have many facts. Your age, salary, what's the probability you will want or can stay in Thailand a lifetime. Her living conditions, proximity to where you live. Have you talked about her moving in. Do you talk enough to know your her only guy. Maybe she doesn't feel your worth playing the long game. I feel they really feel pressured by friends and social media to see how much the man will support her. To a Thai, support is part of the love equation. Maybe it's the same for Western women but usually less obvious. Just remember there are 1000 others like her.

Why, Oh Why: has the Left turned on Elon? No more gravy-train?
I was an Elon fan because of space x and also his boring machine ideas since I have a background and education in mining. I changed my opinions on how he handled the twitter purchase. He acted like a rich brash child. Then my administration turned to full contempt when I reinstated trump's acct. But blocked the smart kid who tracked his planes miliage. He has made twitter his personal platform and has outdid Murdock in the disinformation. Then cake his election support for trump, his election bribery, his Nazi salute, his support for the Nazi party in Germany. I had been following the government scrutiny of his self driving cars and exploding starships and it's obvious why he paid trump 230 million. So he can get rid of government oversite. He chose the wrong method using optics rather than lidar but won't admit it. Only thing we have in common now.

Karoline Leavitt: The Young Firebrand Behind Trump’s Messaging Revival
Pretty sure she worked her way up with some knee and horizontal moves. Married at 26 to a real estate guy 33 yrs older. Where are all the maga haters in that? I know what position I would give her.

Thai Baht Plummets with US Tariff Blow: 34.50 per Dollar Test Looms
Interesting. Claim is trump used chatgp to calculate tariffs incorrectly. It's just a trade ratio. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17dvR1d81w/

Thai Baht Plummets with US Tariff Blow: 34.50 per Dollar Test Looms
It's been 36 in recent times. 34.8 is nothing. Let's see 43. If these countries retaliate with a madman it's going to get ugly. I hope the outcome is they decide the US is important and lower tariffs. I'm not an economist but if countries give in and lower their tariffs and these new tariffs are removed it seems like things would be better for the US. Not so much for each country. I can assure you I deplore trump but getting NATO countries to pay their commitments and countries to open more imports from the US seems good to me and I'm sure MAGA's. How can any sane person argue with a tariff chart being unfair when Trump is still less than their numbers?

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
Plus trump needs the pay for his continuation of the tax cuts for his rich buddies. Interestingly tariffs accounted for 90% of the US federal Budget back 250 years ago before income tax. I'm pretty sure most Americans see the country list with the high tariffs in place on American imports and can't blame Trump for imposing much less on these countries. Trump does seem like he is supporting North and S America. Maybe he wants a strong land mass. Any investment South of the border should lower the influx of border crossings. I already feel some upward pressure in the labor market as I think many have left. No data on this just my feeling in seeking labor recently.

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
Why are some of these tariffs so high on American goods? Wouldnt totally free trade be the ultimate goal? Or do the richer countries need to support 3rd countries out of morality? Not much I can do but ride this derailed train wreck. I just don't 💬 think many companies are going to invest in production in the US partly because things can change again in 3 years and I don't think we have the hard workers willing to do factory type work. First thing wife said after seeing 36% on FB was about her imported rice and fish sauce. I also have not doubt the Asian stores and all retailers will be raising prices immediately in current inventory and even shipments already through customs. If we think retailers used COVID to profit here come unbridled greedy.

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
I 💬 NK Trump's tactic will work. 3 more years of his crazy will have the economy And more so messed up who would want to run for president in 2026. I've always thought it crazy that Thailand had such high tariffs on cars and booze. Not sure why these were not addressed sooner.

Unsafe Condos In Bangkok?
From a picture I saw of a hiso condo building in Thonglor with a bulging corner spanning many floors there are going to be many condemned. All these guys bragging about how many rental condos the wife and them own might be be hurting. I don't see how you can fix fractured support beams and columns cheaply or timely. Will it be cheaper to raze the building? Do the owners have any say in that. Who pays for a demo? More construction dust and noise in bkk incoming. Labor and material shortage.

Egg prices plummeting in USA
Deniers of bird flu. So some of you think a farmer or con ag should just let the barn with 10,000 egg layers infect the rest of his barns and nearby producers? They had to exterminate them just like they do pigs with swine flu. It has now taken 4-5 months to get more hens to begin laying eggs. It's stupid to blame any president on this disruption. Now if trump hadn't pissed off all our allies maybe some would have donated some eggs to help alleviate the pain some poor people felt. I bet most MAGA's spend 2x more on beers or white claws than eggs.

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
Wife says lots of Thai's are thinking corruption in the government building that collapsed. I'm wondering if an unfinished building may not have all the earth quake devices installed yet? The videos of those tall buildings seating is incredible. It will be interesting how many residences will be condemned. Maybe now Thailand will be forced to deal with real humanitarian issues.

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
As I watched the thousands of people fleeing in the streets and all those tall buildings looming 360 degrees it's so wonderful that 1 didn't come down into the crowded streets. Looking like renting a condo is much better than buying. I wonder how many expats lost their accommodations?

Big earthquake in CM just now!
I live near a fault that they say is due. I could loose quite a bit of my wealth. Makes one consider renting rather than owning ones living quarters.
