More AI 💩 yawn 💤

In my home country, agree. But as a foreigner in a “3rd world” country with no guarantee of being able to stay here forever, and with constant complaints (as detailed in this thread’s OP)……and …where rent is ridiculously cheap!? No thanks.

I don’t and won’t invest in Thailand so not sure. I’ve actually averaged over 10%pa! - for the past 10 years…but not in Thailand…on the S&P 500. If you invested that 1.7 million at 10% compound interest for those 13 years, it would now be worth approximately 5.7 million.

If you/she had invested that 1.7 million at 5% annual compound interest for 13 years, it would now be worth approximately $3.2 million. See above comparison photo above to work out how much you’ve/she has lost by not investing that cash and renting instead.

Then I feel sorry for you! 🙃

Yet another reason to rent only. Never, ever buy!

iMovie is a FREE video editing application made by Apple for the Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad. It includes a range of video effects and tools like color correction and image stabilization, but is designed to be accessible to users with little or no video editing experience. It’s also very easy to add music.

Yes. Just don't put your head under.

Skin checks cost nothing in Australia. Any treatment is first class, done immediately and is also free. So as mentioned already, it's cheaper (and/or preferable) for some to return to their homeland for checks. This is what Sheryl thinks about getting skin checks in Thailand. It's posted on P2 of this thread: "It is very difficult to get a meaningful skin check in Thailand. Even the government Derm Institute in Bangkok - the best place to go for skin cancer treatment - does to really offer preventic screening. A few of the "international" private hospitals offer it but one cannot be sure of the skill of the doctor doing it, there is limited experience with skin cancer here."

Yes seriously. But I was referring to this particular challenge…

Well said T&G! It’s unlikely he will accept your challenge as doomsayers rarely acknowledge when they’re wrong, as maintaining a sense of crisis helps sustain their narrative.

Google is your friend

Cheaper (for some) to return to their homeland (whilst visiting family, friends etc) for free skin checks and free subsequent treatment.

Not too many mentions yet about the HUMIDITY here. For many, that’s the “killer”, not the temperature.

Lol, yeah, sure thing BROTHER. We all believe you, not!🤣
