Exactly what I saw in a Bar Street restaurant, a few years ago. Table next to us had eight very ugly Chinese young men. They kept getting updates from an attractive well-dressed Chinese woman. Sure looked the start of a wife-buying scheme.
Maybe it’s time for Customs to step in. They do a pretty good job keeping western products out of Thailand.
And here’s an idea for Bank of Thailand:—let the Baht ease up some more. No need to defend it, if you want to compete with your neighbor.
Not always. 1st wife had trust fund income, plus large assets. After she went through all her money—she came after mine via divorce. Thai (2nd) wife had few assets, but so much better for me. No regrets.
Thanks for the story. Isaan wife and I spend most of our time in Isaan. But when rice harvest finishes—we’re off to the coast. People seem much friendlier here in farm country.
Thanks for the link. Here’s the final paragraph:
“If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?” Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
Furthermore, the SC cannot indite—without approval of the AG. Likewise, the SC cannot stonewall an investigation—without the AG’s approval. Looks like Garland’s DOJ totally in charge.
Debt is a way of life in Isaan. We try not to loan money, except for emergency situations, and even then, we don’t expect repayment. It’s more like a helping hand/gift.
In my Isaan village, and the ones nearby, we have girls that go to college, work retail, get factory jobs, government jobs, food industry, farming, and yes, some go to work in the bars. Not much difference between them, in my view.
So you’re saying that the poorest US Senator to leave the Senate and Vice Presidency, only to receive millions via shell companies—mainly because Joe Biden exchanged pleasantries and weather comments with Hunter Biden’s business associates? Logic has failed.
Let me guess: you and your liberal friends still believe Joe Biden merely discussed the weather on those 20 or so phone conversations and or in person meetings with Hunter’s business associates? Dream on.
