  1. Yes, it was planned by top phramas instead of admitting that their much propagandized vaccines are only 40% effective and also a continuous source of incomes if they could continue it for few more years or maybe for forever.
  2. Without knowing the details, it's hard to comment on anything. if the bank publishes a rate of 7.5, they are obligated to pay it. Even for an investment vehicle the with risk (for example a mutual fund), they can't publish a rate unless the publish rate was past performance.
  3. I bet there will be a fourth as Israel has already started. There is no escape from this.
  4. Have seen plenty of cooks not washing their hands in Western countries.
  5. Canada is the land of cannabis now. In US one gram sells for $15 average compared to $3 in Canada. I would have moved to Canada but the place is damn cold.
  6. Thailand will never get its pre-covid tourists level. May be in the next 10 years may be not. 40 million is way too much for Thailand's infrastructure to handle. If lucky they will get two millions next year.
  7. I have been to more than 150 cities and did not find a single city where I cant get girls for pay for play. But Thailand is unique in the sense that 99% tourist bars are brothels fronting as bars and where most people come to find their prostitute brides.
  8. I don't have much experience in Thailand but within one week of arriving in Thailand I realized that all the bars where tourists frequent are brothels fronting as bars.
  9. Blame should go to digital nomads who have popularized the concept of working in beaches and coffee shops to sell their courses.
  10. My friend stays for 6 months in Thailand and it will be a perfect visa for him and others like him. Pre covid, he used to get an O-A (he is above 50) every two years but there is no need for that with this visa. Also, people under 50 now have a legitimate visa they can use for long term stay without border hopping.
  11. Why people in this board are so upset about a family raising money to bring their loved ones home. Nobody is asking them for money. If the family can raise money, it is good for them.
  12. Most countries measure by people actively looking for work and there is another component of unemployment called labor participation in the workforce. Thai unemployment even before the covid was suspicious.
  13. Net access is OK in Thailand, specially in Pattaya and Bangkok where I have condos. I get cheaper rate than in the USA. 1000/300 I get for 700 baht that includes dtac 10 gig of data. The same I pay $50 in my house in an Illinois university town and cant get in my Las Vegas condo unless I fork more than $200. They should give work permit, starting with a minimum tax payments based on 40K baht incomes. People will flock from all over the World. No need for fixing existing corruption. In fact, I would not have moved to Thailand if it was squeaky clean like Singapore. I want agents to do everything for me with a reasonable fee. It will be nice if they improve the air quality.
  14. Does she have a covid insurance? It just boggles my mind that people who cannot afford to pay out-of pocket don't buy insurance and people who can do buy. That's the difference between a rich and a poor person. I have 100 mil in banks but I bought a covid insurance. I don't buy regular insurance because I have 12K USD sitting in my HSA cards (accepted by any hospitals in Thailand) and I have a high deductible health insurance that pays 50% when in Thailand.
  15. The arrogance of people, without saying that unable to find a bride in my home country I have travelled 10,000 miles to find a bride and sometimes a prostitute bride. I spend millions in Thailand and never say that I came to Thailand to help Thai people.
  16. High rate of reinfection among double vaxxed people with Western media's propagandized superiority of their vaccine necessitate the blame to the new variant. Some people realize the scam Western media are pulling with their "supposed" superior vaccines and others are like sheeple drinking the cool aid of Western media's propaganda.
  17. However indirect jobs? Street vendors, motorcycle riders, etc. and their impact on the economy? My Motorcycle repair shop was lamenting lack of business. No more thousands of motorcycle riders ferrying working girls and no more motorcycle repair. My barber was saying before she could easily afford a 40K per month rent and now she can't even afford a 10K rent.
  18. Is mining crypto currency legal in Thailand? It seems so. I do mine cryptos using ASIC miners and solar power in Las Vegas. I can invest up to 3 mil to set up a 10 unit mining farm in Thailand.
  19. Nope, for retirement visas one has ot be more than 50 years old. There is no age restrictions for medical visa.
  20. 20% of the economy, I meant. Keep all the brothels (fronting as bars where you can get a girl for pay for play after paying a bar fine) closed and let's see how many tourists dollars Thailand can generate.
