Yes, after leaving behind a lot of money and possibly some personal articles.

 

Preferably your house and  lifetime savings.any tourist is a quality tourist compared to the locals where I live up here.

The Thai government has never had the money to cover a Thai bank bankruptcy.

If a bank goes down then it will be every man for himself.

You're right; time to move the money elsewhere (if you haven't already).

Thanks for that,just im not really an investor and hate these companies offering 10-13% pa returns.i just want my savings safe and not too bothered about interest although it helps against inflation.ive invested in enough property out here for rental to give me some sort of income but only enough to cover day to day living.amazingly my wife has loads of ideas but I would be better off sticking it all on a 3 legged donkey an the grand national.funny that,the poorest people have the greatest ideas when it come to investing other people's money.im interested to hear from anyone who has invested in accuvest or similar with 6% returns.

The way things seem to be going here they should hand cards out for free including the Chinese and Bulgarians.is this the same numb nuts who came up with the 10 year retirement visa?

Has Saengthai Seafood moved to another location. It was my favorite on that seafont strip as they had the huge crabs there.

I've had crabs before but mine were little black mothers and I wouldn't recommend trying to eat them.they look the bees knees,I've only ever had crab out of a tin but would like to have a go at them.how much?

Myself I use chrome cast in with ez cast and also Apple TV.my wife is a Internet sleuth and finds me all the latest entertainment for free.the other good one is ilikehd tv.no contracts,pay for what you want packages monthly.im happy to pay 699b a month for Internet and Thai tv crap.also I share it with the bungalow I rent out so I get bogof.(buy one get one free).i can't see the point of paying big money for loads of channels I'll never watch but everyone has their own choice.its a pity I can't rent the wife out to go load up people with their daily entertainment with a happy ending thrown in.

"Housewives who used home computers to make fake £20 notes jailed after being rumbled in McDonald's and Asda"

The link has been blocked but as I said you won't get away with it in the uk as these women didn't and these teenage girls did.mc Donald's was used as it has a high turnover and the staff are not the sharpest of people but they still Sussed out they were fake.

That's being planned already, they'll get to that level on the same day Betamax tapes are reintroduced.

Totally agree and we know what goes up in Thailand stays up.not that I'm complaining,I moved all my savings out of the uk the two weeks before brexit.probably made 15-20% if I changed it back into pounds but wouldn't be of the slightest bit of use to me now I'm retired here.the only problem is I don't trust Thai banks.it could all go tits up and end up like the Cyprus bank collapse.i don't care what numbers the Thai government come out with as they seem to use dice to find the numbers they need to show like the 1% unemployment rate.

you just proved that you have not the faintest idea about money printing.

Yes I have,it's produced by teenage girls with a cheap printer.try doing that in the uk with that level of forgery.you wouldn't get past spending the first note.

Probably a dispute over a couple of hundred baht.

I thought all Thai money was made with a cheap printer.

Drunken thief and a member of the serious idiot squad who run this country.made thailand look shamed for his actions.

So how is the government in the position to cover the banks.i have my life savings in a bank that could go tits up and it should be covered by the government.im questioning myself should I really leave my money in the hands of this man.in fact it's time for a rethink about investing somewhere else.pronto.

News headline....Lao drug lord hangs himself with flip flop while being held in cell,just before naming top police and celebrities in money laundering scandal.one thing in Thailand is to make sure your always worth more alive than dead.

The way round this could be,tear up the rental contracts and say sorry we won't do that again,loan the land owners/farmers the turbines in return for a big percentage of the electricity generated.same as lending a tractor for most of the rice produced on a farm.

what if there was a farang doing the same in that same police station with a thai girl? just wondering?

A farang would of been taken out in a hail of bullets within seconds.

They knew it was fake.why sell one item in a shop and move on to another.if it was real then sell the lot in one deal.anyway I hope they enjoy their holiday in IDC.

The truth is true are being dumped and I can bet my last baht on it that's because they haven't been paying their bills.why would true want to dump any of these channels.its the saving face crap again.thai bs again and anyone with an ounce of brain can see it.they are going down the pan big time.im gutted I've just paid 3 months in advance but only for the basic package + Internet.i hope they last until April.then its time to find a new provider.

Thieving little bar steward.wounder how much he's had his grubby little hands on in thailands coffers.should grab his bank accounts and dig deeper into his past.the problem with Thais is you give them the slightest bit of power and it goes to their head.the people who work at my local amphur office think they are all generals when in reality they are just council office gophers who can't even organise a rubbish collection day.

What a 18 wheel truck is doing on the right lane.

Trying to crush pesky farang.

When ever a farang is involved in a smash,it's our fault for pulling out in front of them.when ever they crash and no farang is involved it's brake failure or rain.warning to all,get a front view camera for a couple of thousand baht and if you do have a crash don't let anyone get their hands on the camera else the evidence will be lost in 2 minutes and you will be up to your neck in the brown stuff.a camera is worth its weight in gold and remember don't let them get their hands on it.

Yes Thais are crap at telling lies,you need to have some sort of brain to be a good liar.to me it looks like the trucks pulled over to the right hand lane and sandwiched the car against the central wall.

Plus he would need a work permit, very important!

Is begging classed as working?

I see it as true have been dropped by all these channels and their customers will be dropping them as well.the sh!;?ts hit the fan with Thais running tv/satalite companies.
