Cost of US Passports to increase Dec. 27
Isaan sailor replied to DJ54's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Inflation takes a bite out of Americans. And we all know why. So this comes as no surprise. What does come as a surprise for American expats—the pounding of the USD this week. Merry Christmas to all. May better days lay ahead. -
DPM Anutin: Thailand is able to handle Omicron variant
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe easier to control the Baht (up 21 Satung today) than Omicron. -
retirees - what do you have to look forward to?
Isaan sailor replied to 1FinickyOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
8 years and lucky. Choose carefully cause it’s a huge investment, and you need both pre-nups and leases for your security and peace of mind. Of course, it helps to have a bit of money, too. -

Good wine, music, sailing, friends and living with a wonderful Isaan girl. -
TAT blames Omicron—easy target. Rising Baht probably a better explanation. Higher the Baht goes—less money comes in, TAT.

Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Crime is up in NYC and other cities. Maybe going back to a strong police force would be good thing. -
Anchilee does Thailand proud at Miss Universe pageant

Isaan has some very attractive young women. That’s all I’m gonna say. -
Fate of Thailand’s New Year countdown event to be decided on Monday
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agreed. A greater threat: the mighty, rising Teflon Baht will crimp tourism and expat spending, as well as exports. -
Thailand detects first case of Omicron variant
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I do the mask thing in public. And I hold no grudges against non-Americans. In fact, among those I know, we have become pretty good friends. When you spend time in Isaan with the language barrier—you tend to try a little harder. -
Thailand’s economy vulnerable as Omicron hits
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Last week, put some $$ in @ 33.88 to USD. Today 33.44. Sure, Baht reasonable at 33.44, but a whole lot more reasonable @ 33.88. -
Private firms optimistic about Thai economy
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Umm—A quick glance at today’s exchange rates sure looks like things will go belly up in 2022. -
Thailand’s economy vulnerable as Omicron hits
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Nope. Thai Baht way up, prices continue to rise on imports. That’s the amazing Thailand way. -

Omicron and a rising Baht. That should sink the economy. And there’s only one they can do anything about. -
Thai Baht Finally Getting Weaker
Isaan sailor replied to Banana7's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Relax everyone, the Baht has roared back today vs western currencies. Here we go again…. -

Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That does it. Deport all Americans—for good measure.. Thailand doesn’t need their high-spending ways. Open up to the safe Omicron-free countries. -
How Long Before Chinese Warships are Docked in Sattahip ?
Isaan sailor replied to AwwYesNice1's topic in General Topics
If the western nations agree to combine trade sanctions against China—how could this put wind in their sails? Who would they sell to? A manufacturer of that size needs world markets—and not just 3rd world markets. -
How Long Before Chinese Warships are Docked in Sattahip ?
Isaan sailor replied to AwwYesNice1's topic in General Topics
Probable outcome. But if the US administration has any stones—they would take immediate and permanent trade action. Equal import/export values, and if China doesn’t buy their share of American products—make up the difference with steep tariffs. Every western nation should do the same. That would end Chinese belligerence and aggression once and for all. -

And that goes for the stockholders, too. ;-)
