    Last I checked, the Baht was burning up the Dollar—down more than 8% since early October. And I know these currency traders (from halfway round the world) aren’t through sinking the USD.
  2. Isaan sailor
    With a rapidly rising Baht, not too many will bother to bring in big money. And that includes me. More like subsistence living now. I do believe it is better to pay for as many things as you can via home country based credit card. Amounts never show up in a Thai bank.

    Thanks for your detailed explanation of the US stocks up—Baht up on USD theory. One has to wonder what would happen if and when the Fed reduces interest rates: will USD nosedive another 7%, or even more (as it has done since Oct 4) or have currency traders already baked in their shorting for a rate reduction next year? No can say with any certainty, but traders like to stay ahead of the curve. We shall see…

    US stocks up—Thai Baht up. US stocks down—Thai Baht down.

    I wonder what China (the world’s biggest polluter) plans to do about this…

    Will Thailand afford the same pleasantries to Taiwan?

    Hats off to ASEAN NOW, for running this story. I’m quite sure the Chinese Embassy would prefer we didn’t see this.

    Adjustable loan rates have spiked with the rise in interest at Bank of Thailand.

    Two houses—one in Isaan, one on the Gulf of Thailand. We travel long distances.

    Thailand is right for the Goldilocks expats—not enough $$ to retire gloriously in the home country—but enough $$ to do it here. And a much younger g/f or wife—frosting on the cake.

    A neutral stance helps Thailand align better with big brother to the north…
  12. Isaan sailor
    Agreed. Although I must confess—more than once I’ve worn black socks with my black sandals and long pants, Kinda looks like shoes…

    Agreed, the vast majority in Gaza seem to support Hamas. War is Hell.

    If you’re an American, buy and hold blue chip stocks with big dividends. One example: Altria (MO) pays over 9%. There’s always a risk the dividend will falter. I’ve owned it 30 years. So far, so good.

    Where did Hamas get thee funding for this? Iran claims they did.
  16. Isaan sailor
    And that’s exactly what the Mexican cartels tell the illegals to claim as they encounter US authorities.
  17. Isaan sailor
    Thank you. I certainly hope you’re right. But we should stay vigilant.
  18. Isaan sailor
    Like open borders much?
  19. Isaan sailor
    I’ll bet some, if not most of these Hamas will end up as “refugees” in a Western European country, or even in the USA. Close borders now.
  20. Isaan sailor
    I wonder how Hamas got the funding for this well-coordinated attack….
  21. Isaan sailor
    Thank you for making my point.
  22. Isaan sailor
    Fallacious straw man arguement.
  23. Isaan sailor
    It’s not nonsense. If they pass a citizenship law for them—they would have the right to vote. Of course they can’t vote now. But things could change.
  24. Isaan sailor
    I didn’t say illegals can vote today. Stop with your nonsense and read it again.
  25. Isaan sailor
    Some Republicans think blue sanctuary cities need more illegals pouring in. It’s they only way they will change current voting patterns. Conversely, if the DNC can get illegals to vote—it will assure Democrats perpetual power. Just close the borders.
