  1. In your post about an hour ago.
  2. You claim was: "As a foreigner, the words "Thailand" and "investing" should not be used in the same sentence." I have a wife and son in Thailand, and even if I did not, any investment I might have here could be liquidated in the event I wanted to leave. I am not worried about my visa, If I lose it, I'll move back to the states. There are still plenty of nice places to live there. Most of your reasoning makes little sense. What does having to fly home for medical care have to do with anything investment wise? I invest in international funds that include any number of countries where I would "...have no "right" to permanently live in the country.", does that make international funds a bad investment? Silly. That the bank in Thailand pays less in interest than the bank in your home country, or that capital gains on real property in your county is better than in Thailand may make investing there a better idea for you than storing cash or buying real estate in Thailand, but it does not make investing in Thailand the terrible risk you want to make it out to be. Much of what you say I agree with. My brokerage account is in the US as is most of my cash. I am not advocating investing in Thailand, but I think claiming/implying one would be a fool to invest here or keep money here is wrongheaded. We live in a building that's worth about 150% of what we paid for it about ten years ago. Over that same ten years, my US investments have more than tripled, but that does not make our home a bad investment any more than drawing 4-5% in my US bank (now) make the 1.5-3% we draw in the Thai bank a bad investment. Incidentally, I seem to recall that the Thai banks were paying much better interest than were the US banks not that long ago.
  3. I lived in the US for over twenty years without medical insurance and never had any difficulty getting medical care, and I had a lot of medical care, and never paid for any of it. If the median home price is $1M, that means that half of the homes sold are under that. Incidentally, I grew up in Californian as well, and had hundreds of thousands of dollars in "free" medical under Medical, which with your low income and lack of saving you would likely qualify for.
  4. Oh, you're a teacher, that explains a lot. In any event, you made a false claim and can't back it up, typical leftist.
  5. In the US is you have no savings medical is free. If you have significant savings, buy a house and a new car with the savings and get medical free.
  6. I would not support any ceasefire agreement that did not mandate the release of all hostages on the first day.
  7. Yellowtail replied to Encee's topic in Bangkok
    I like Hua Hin, but not as a tourist destination. First timers (I think) should hit Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya. These are the places most people are going to ask if you've been when you tell them you went to Thailand. Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya are both nice day trips from Bangkok.
  8. I actually think it could have been pretty good with a decent lead, she was like someone's mom in spandex saving the world.
  9. That the election was in 2016, and Cohen did not plead guilty until 2018, as part of sentence reduction for his tax evasions convictions he was looking at 50 years for. But you've known that every time you've posted the lie.
  10. It does not contradict Netanyahu's statement. Hamas freeing the hostages and surrendering is not the same as a truce for hostage deal. Can you really not tell the difference or are you just lying like all the other Hamas supporters?
  11. I watched it, it was not too bad, but I thought Jennifer Lopez was terrible.
  12. Sorry, I can't believe that you think a wall will would not help. Why is that?
  13. They want the eradication of Israel, and death to every Jew in the world, and then they want to move on to killing Christians. Yeah, what's wrong with that? What was their proposal at Camp David Summit in 2000?
  14. We've got to expedite Biden's Palestinian refugee program and get as many Hamas members and supporters as we can into the US as quickly as possible. Once they start bombing targets in the US, many Americans may not want to let them in.
  15. "In the district attorney's office's special investigator Robert Shilling's probable cause filing, he writes that Baldwin "was not present for required firearms training prior to the commencement of filming." The filing pointed out that Gutierrez-Reed said in her deposition that Baldwin had "limited training in firearms and how to check his own firearm as to whether it was unloaded or loaded." Gutierrez-Reed also said, per the documents, that Baldwin did attend a 30-minute training session but appeared "distracted and talking on his cell phone to his family during the training.""

  16. I would go with something like this: Travel Switch LXK3-20S/T/B/Z Limit Switch Auto Reset Roller Rotary Arm Type Micro Switch Waterproof Switches | Lazada.co.th
