I thought you’d been round the block ? Anyway i’m aware of the negativity on Thai Visa. I’ve been posting here for some years, but I know they’ll be people all enjoy the posts that I’m gonna post. I won’t be doing it today. I’m just revving up to it. I wonder if it was real life you would dare to say to me “don’t bother. We’ve heard it all before” ? I suggest you just skip this thread. Get back to the Pattaya threads

In this thread, I’m gonna start to tell all the crazy lies that my girlfriend has told me over the years. I think it’s better than me just writing out a thread. Because I’ve got so many, I can just get them off my chest. Some people will enjoy and I’m sure it’ll be cathartic for me

That’s what I said “ a Lai Wa !!!! “

I’ve got some beauty’s and my missus’s cousin who taught her to lie had some brammer’s she told her mark/husband Colin who she ended up swindling his last retirement saving’s, he had to go back to sea and work.

Ok makes more sense now. So you were able to buy that coin and claim UK Vat back as a Non Brit Tax payer ? Why didn’t you buy Britannia coins with not Vat and also no CGT on a sale, at least in the uk. It would be interesting to hear about your reasoning in you strategy for the purchase.

little confused. You had a $56000 coin from somewhere. You had it on you at Heathrow. Then claimed some VAT back somewhere, where were you then? What coin can you buy that’s $56k ? Aren’t Britannia coins the most valuable ? They are UK legal tender and. An be sold with no Tax implications.

My interest in Gold is coming from the idea of storing value. I turned 50 this year and I’m soon gonna turn 51. When I was about 40 I did not think about the future and there were times where I actually spent all my money and was waiting for paycheck to land with no thought of future. As I say when I turned 50 I suddenly realised if I’m lucky I’ve got a good 10 years to make some money so I can actually retire. I’ve managed to save some money by working really hard. A lot of that money is out of the bank now and he stored as stock on the New York Stock Exchange. As I’ve been investing in things over the last year and flipping stocks making £1000 sometimes even £2000 in a couple of months flipping Apple shares et cetera I’ve always seen gold there but it doesn’t pay dividend and it’s not volatile enough to make any money out of. As I say last week, I saw this video talking about how gold could double in the future in value as the Fiat currency declines at the same time. I thought about how would I buy gold? Researching it it does appear that buying £3500 or so Britannia coins avoid CGT if you make a game while you own them and also they’re easy to carry. You can literally hold 10 of them in your hand and have £35,000 of your. Savings with you. I’m not trying to do anything dodgy I’m just trying to learn the rules, and I’m earning a lot in this thread. As I walked past the gold shop in Big C in town I sort of realised now why they have these big five bar gold necklaces you really can carry your money around with you around the world, can’t you. Owning on the Royal mint ticker on trading 212 does look a lot less hassle though

No, Limit’s on cash that can be taken out of which country?

Sorry for my late reply , been away. Yeah I’ve learned a little bit more since I posted this. It seems if you wanna have physical gold buying those £25,000 ingots is convenient but when it hopefully rises in price when you wanna realise it back to money you have to pay CGT. It seems Britannia coins. That £3000 ish a piece can be sold back into the system as legal tender. But if I was selling that same gold coin in Thailand, would I still be £3000 for it? I’m assuming I would. Then also if you have got a £25,000 lump of gold in the bottom of your bag. Can you just take that into your local Thai gold dealer and they’ll pay you out? No questions asked so you’ve been able to carry round the value of 25 grand and then realise it at the other end but this time without CGT, because you’re in different country ? On the subject of bitcoin obviously everyone wishes they bought £1000 of bitcoin at the start. Apparently, Tim Pool had a computer. With some bitcoin on that would’ve been worth a major sum of money today, but he lost a computer somewhere. Would you mind giving me a ready throw down of bitcoin. Where do I buy it from, I’ve got Trading 212. How do I realise it back into money? When I want to buy something, what do you do?

Thanks for the insight 👍

I was watching a YouTube video last night of a discussion between a couple of conspiracy theorists (future tellers) one guy was a gold expert who actually is working for a UK physical gold company. In the comments a particular physical gold seller was mentioned and is not a million miles away from where I live. Looked it up and you can buy £25,000 gold ingots that appeared to be the size of a small chocolate bar. It got me thinking. About some worry about how we can carry and move our accrued wealth around with us. I have actually personally got very ittle actual cash around me at the moment it’s all in US stock which I hope will be rising soon and making me a couple of £3000 by flipping them. These £25,000 golden ingots are Vat free. If anybody would like to spread the knowledge on gold and their thoughts. I’m sure there’s someone here who’s got something to say about it all., I personally I’m interested in the fact that I can put one or two of these ingots in my pocket and travel out of the country walking into a gold shop in another country and realise something. Are their rules against this? I can’t take too much cash on a plane but I can have gold chains on my neck or a couple of gold ingots in my carry on luggage, or can I? Any thoughts on this subject gratefully received?

https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2025/10/09/german-man-rescued-after-falling-into-20-meter-well-in-chonburi/ The I am glad that this man will go on to lock eyes with you for a split second in Big C then then immediately turn back to his 5ft handler who only speaks Isaan and German. I’d be fascinated to know if he can speakenzee English. There are lots of these Germans with handlers who can’t and it’s telling that he’s speaking German down that Well when to be understood surely he’d be wanting to be speaking English or Thai. Unless as I alluded to he’s conversing with his handler who is translating everything for him. I bumped into a young German guy in my town and he told me that they have clubs in Germany that hold dating conventions for introducing Thai woman who specifically learn German for the Job of becoming the handler. Got the odd one around my village if you bump in them in a village shop they can’t/won’t communicate. Strange bunch. Even stranger are the Isaan women who can only speak German. Next door to us in the village we had a women who would disappear for months at a time and eventually I was told she was in Germany visiting her very old boyfriend. She recently died and was a typical veil old Isaan witch. When back in the village it was party time on the LaoKhao whiskey. She was another one who insisted in speaking German to me, “ I can’t speak German, try Thai or English!!! “ I’d say.

My 7 year old. nearly 8 Feb coming, according to my missus needs another army hair cut that I hate. It’s only just been growing 3 weeks. I drop off and pick up everyday and see many class mates with no full metal jacket or child hood cancer hair do. This teacher is just exercising authority and I want to challenge it.

With all due respect you have no clue what ADD is, I didn’t till I realised I had it a couple of weeks back now. I was always under the impression that it was a kids disorder and I’ve watched a couple of JRE YouTube videos with ADHD/ADD doctors and never put two and two together. A couple of weeks back I was doom scrolling through YouTube Short Videos and came across this one from Hungarian Gabor Maté who I had seen previously on Joe Rogan. Now this time the video grabbed me because the title said “ why am I always late?” That’s me , late for everything. I’ve just arrived in Thailand at the house a couple of days ago now. Getting to the airport on the bus from my home in England is about 1&1/2 hours max and £5 in cost. I sat there in my chair talking to a mate and was then late. Taxi ride was then £40, just great. This video is what made me realise that contrary to what I had always thought of myself that I was just a ฟอnker with my lateness inability to just go to bed at night, can’t open post, say stuff to people ( not inappropriate) with no filter that the next day with ‘cringe hangover’ I regret saying. Recently I called a higher in the hierarchy manager to complain about my regional managers treatment of me in a scheme. I went off on a rant that must have come across as unhinged. That led to a next day ‘cringe hangover’ alright. Absolutely no organisation and if I do manage to create some order and everything goes ok like for instance managing my overtime spreadsheet timesheet after every single job in realtime even if that’s at 2am after finishing the job and all associated data entry. But that can soon fall apart and then procrastination sets in and that timesheet will be a 9 hour job through the night job as I get a dead line of this afternoon but I get given a special “ ok .. first thing in the morning “ exemption, coz it’s me. Remember the procrastination is not just fecklessness it’s caused by a paralysis that just will not let you do what needs to be done. Also my working memory is terrible and for years I thought it was boxing related, one of my favourite occupations. Perfect example is like last night. I’m looking for my phone and go in my bag to get it. It’s not there. I look around and I find it on the washing machine or someplace and immediately then remember that I put it there. But the issue is for ADD people who lose things we don’t have any recollection of putting the item down after we get distracted by another situation like making coffee. When we then look for the aforementioned item it a fresh challenge. I’ve lost so many expensive tools this year alone. But as soon as you discover the item in position you remember placing it there. Then there is low self esteem which is talked about and a low level depression. The low self esteem is a weird one because when it comes to my job and the core performance I’m super confident to the point of annoyance and jealousy of others but in general due to the aforementioned issues of disorder such as loss of possessions due to working memory issues and most importantly a feeling of being an outsider to the main bunch of normal types. I’ve managed to get over the feeling of being an outsider by rightfully thinking who wants to be their acquaintance anyway. it’s funny how people such as yourself and me prior to being enlightened are dismissive of people’s mental issues. My girlfriend here of about 12 years has lots of great qualities but she has mental issues concerning hoarding and the inability to just skip stuff. Old broken fans that i have replaced but won’t chuck the old one with a burnt out motor siting the old one will be handy for parts. She has a great memory to the level that she over the years has recalled my new Sims phone number a week after she set it up for me from memory when I asked. She’s very gregarious and very good at getting on with people she doesn’t care for to keep the peace and is well liked and is cheerful and happy yet she can descend in a spiral of chaos. If I wasn’t in her life the house she had built for her by her cousin who organised selling some land she owned and getting the house built for her, would be like an abandoned house in the woods. Anyway, I know that this has been a long one but I suppose if even one person recognises some of the traits I’ve talked off it might make them realise it’s not their character that’s causing them to be like this. It is a neurological issue that can be helped by getting the right drug like Ritalin or Adderall et cetera to assist the brain to retain dopamine which drives the brain to actually succeed in completing tasks. The term you’re likely thinking of is “cringe hangover.” It’s that feeling people (especially those with ADHD or anxiety) get the day after they’ve been overly expressive, impulsive, chatty, or just a bit “too much” in social situations. They’ll replay interactions in their head and feel deep embarrassment — even when nothing actually went wrong. This often comes from rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation, which are both common in ADHD. The cringe hangover makes you think, “Why did I say that?” or “They must think I’m weird,” even when everyone else has probably forgotten it. Finally, I’m diagnosed a The main issue that I’ve had throughout my whole life is the
