If the Aussie shops not have toilet tissue, and, Aussie toilet not have bumgun right? , it smell bad in Australia now? 

 

Tesco lotus thailand have lot toilet tissue, I can send you some if you need it.

True. I'm the exception, the toilets in the houses I owned in Australia, and my son's house, have bum guns. I learned something from Thailand.

I daresay Australia smells no worse than any drain or klong in Thailand.

Thanks for the kind offer, not needed.

About all that can be done, because the interest rate barrel has reached bottom. Rates are not coming down in the peer-to-peer markets.

I hear they are closing the bars in Siem soon, so I gots to go make sure I have a dishwasher.

 

Nice from the back. You don't conform to the stereotypical American obsession of big bazookas?

When have many customer, the thai boss give discount because kind. Not greedy.

 

When not have many customer, can not give discount because pay rent, staff etc.

 

I not see why “American obsession with guns” link to the thai business prices? 

But every thread must be the thaibash. 

Good job. 

I'm just saying every society has its own brand of illogicality, Yinn. Such as Australian shoppers brawling over toilet rolls, or throwing money at an Aboriginal population which never used to need it.

I don't consider I bash Thais. I like them, and would not be here if I did not.

Why? Because he didnt have a gun and subscribed to your silly politics?

 

Didnt we just have this conversation? You are a fabulous human being and I love you as a brother, albiet you are a bit deranged,  but anyway, you are from Oz dude, you political opinions dont matter, you need to confine yourself to Oz like things like excessive drinking and blonde chicks.

 

You are just letting your Yank animus roll because I am nailing younger than you are. Please dont embarass me when you arrive, leave the plaid knickers and the Tam at home.

Knew you would not be able to resist.

He was a Democrat who thought Trump was the most dangerous person in Presidential history to be running for office, didn't live to see him elected.

Former management consultant ( a breed I can't normally abide ), fought a constant battle with his weight. Had a DDG Thai GF. Drove a Nissan coupe he could barely fit into. Highly educated, had done about 30 adult courses on recondite subjects such as politics in the Tokugawa dynasty, or Lebanese cuisine. We used to solve the problems of the world over a coffee after golf. Died here after colliding with the back of a stationary truck on his scooter.

Check the memory cells you have left. Did I not admit to being an inexperienced drunk?

I'm going to miss you too, after you have expired trying to keep up with the demands of the young stuff you claim to be nailing. My Thai GF and I understand slow and steady wins the race.

Dammit, you are evil. See, you have lured me off topic AGAIN.

This is how the Aussie dollar compares with those two commodity currencies you have mentioned.   Heading south at an alarming rate.   Why are Canadian and NZ resources more robust in a time of crisis?

 

The AUD has also fallen off the cliff against Banana Republic economies such as Argentina.    I just don't understand the international money market.

 

The Australian dollar is a proxy for the Chinese economy, because we ship so much minerals  ( iron ore, coal, natural gas ) to China, and right now the Chinese economy is frozen. I'm forecasting it will recover when the Chinese economy does, in about 6 months.

Pace the pedants who say natural gas is not a mineral.

The cost of living in Australia may surprise you. It's not cheap, and take your own toilet paper. The one thing in Melbourne you can be sure of, is a good coffee, especially in Block Lane. But check to see what the quarantine restrictions are before you go. You may find yourself a 2-week lock-down.

Not "may" You WILL.

I appreciate the reality of that statement, but the view in the USA is that this crisis has exposed a weakness in over reliance on China. I imagine you are in that same boat, and perhaps to greater degree.

The Chinese economy is second only to that of the USA, and fast overtaking it. You can't have a stutter in that economy ( coronavirus ) without a domino effect. Supply chains everywhere are disrupted. China produces about 90% of the world's antibiotics, and 95% of the rare earths used in smartphones etc. Like it or not, we are all dependent on China to some degree.

But are they buying Victoria Bitter?

Big buyers of Australian wine. And if you eat a lobster tail anywhere on the West Coast of America, odds are very good it came from Tasmanian waters. Finished trolling?

No argument.

Just trying to explain some info. about gun purchases, laws, and the possible reasons for it.

As far as your crisis question, no need to address it from me. I think your history of comments and feelings toward Americans pretty much answers the question for you.

 

Perhaps you should view my comments from the viewpoint it's preferable to have someone who gives you some unvarnished truth, instead of telling you what you want to hear.

BTW, I have had several American golfing friends. I still miss one of them, a credit to his country.

Buy from a farang if you can, if you’re anywhere near CM I strongly recommend Expat Autos. Be aware Thai car tents are addicted to altering Odometers, if there’s no written and stamped service record in the cars manufacturers service history book, walk away no matter how good the car appears.
Toyota and Honda in white are the most popular with Thais and both are very reliable.

Agree. Expat Auto has a very good reputation. I've bought from them myself, and the buying process was painless.

Not even close. Big bazookas. Don't think there are any under 38C.

It has always been a constitutional right to own a gun.

You can legally keep it in your home for protection. There is a background check conducted before you can take possession.  It is not that strict however, unless you are a felon, or fall into other risk categories.

Depending on the state mostly for home protection only, but several have open carry OK laws.  Which means you can walk around your town with a gun on your side.   Some restrictions may apply.

 

These gun runs have happened before this century.

Mostly:

9/11

Obama elected

Now

 

People think there is a chance for panic and desperation and want to have a gun to protect their home and family.  Many people have and will lose their jobs and resources may get stretched.  The potential for a rise in criminal activity is possible.  And most bad guys/criminals have guns so the need for some to have one for peace of mind is there.

 

I had two guns when I lived there.  I actually enjoyed going to the gun range and shooting for sport.  Otherwise, kept them locked up in a gun safe.

 

To add, there are some crazies there of course.  Gun obsessed always thinking the world is coming to an end.

 

 

 

I'm not going to argue with you. Been there, done that with Nyezhov. IMO any society that enables crazies to kill their own children is deranged. Nothing was learned from Sandy Hook.

One of our Prime Ministers said a crisis brings out the best in Australians. Are you telling me a crisis brings out the worst in Americans?

I'm waiting for the Thai baht to depreciate, seriously. Uncompetitive exports, jammed supply chains, no income for many rural Thais, tourist industry in a tailspin. I could have fired a cannon in Big C's Chiang Rai store today and not hit anyone.

Very much doubt you'll be in trouble, I came to and went from Thailand for 4-5 years without realizing my landlord had never filed a TM30 in all that time. Maybe the overnight stay at a hotel near Suvarnabhumi airport was enough for them, each time I came back.
