  1. Yeah i guess the ideal setup is to have family or kids where you can be registered as living with some insurance. Then again not sure how the future in a decade or longer even looks like, the economy has to burst at some point or the entire global system would change itself.
  2. He is perfectly healthy 64 year old or so. Even for me in mid 30s it costs already near 200$ a month too for a basic proper one.
  3. Cheap as other retirees were sucked into bad property investments and now the rent is super low as it is a ghetto. When is this orange properties going to court anyway?
  4. Another dodgy member posting nonsense aka you
  5. Your behavior is a mirror of what everyone hates. You prove the point each time just by showing up in this forum with your meaningless and unwanted + disliked replies. Perhaps learn to read the room for a start.
  6. Grok is the nr 1 filtered news source already as most sources today are sourced from Twitter and the rest of the Internet (or what is left of it). There is plenty of good news however it is all behind pay walls and most people are too cheap. I personally pay for bloomberg and financial times, never get the nonsense and always get the facts (big tip, black friday is coming, my annual extension at 70-80-90% off, I never pay more for online stuff). That is why i always know the future already before it is msm news or some silly politics online months later.
  7. You have to be a pretty <deleted>ty population if you have the biggest 2 populations in the world behaving better on average than Israeli's, don't you think that alone is a sign on the wall?
  8. Thought it's quite a interesting one lol, never before I was classed as leftist lol. The left accusing centered right and right people left now LOL.
  9. Try your propaganda somewhere else lmao, it's very obvious that they need to be dealt with asap. Based on recent reports and social media discussions in 2025, there appears to be growing discontent among some Filipinos toward Israelis, particularly in the context of tourism, migration, and geopolitical issues. This sentiment isn't universal but has been highlighted in protests, online discourse, and news coverage. Here's a breakdown of the key factors contributing to this: 1. Israeli Tourism and Presence in Philippine Islands A significant influx of Israeli tourists and residents to popular destinations like Siargao and Boracay has sparked local backlash. Residents have expressed concerns over cultural shifts, environmental impacts, and alleged disrespectful behavior, including reports of Israelis treating Filipino workers poorly or referring to them derogatorily. For instance, plans to establish an "Israeli community" on Boracay have led to protests, with locals feeling displaced by tourism development. This ties into broader frustrations with over-tourism, where Israelis are sometimes singled out amid the ongoing Gaza conflict, with some Filipinos rejecting Israeli visitors in solidarity with Palestinians. 2. Geopolitical and Solidarity Issues The Philippines' decision to halt new arms purchases from Israel, announced by Defense Minister Gilbert Teodoro in September 2025, reflects shifting relations amid global isolation of Israel due to the Gaza situation. This move has been celebrated by some Filipinos as a stand against perceived Israeli aggression. Pro-Palestine protests in the Philippines have linked local activism to the Gaza genocide, with groups like Anakbayan calling out U.S. and Israeli actions. Some Filipinos view Israeli migration to the Philippines as an escape from regional conflicts, fueling resentment. 3. Treatment of Filipinos in Israel Reports of poor working conditions for Filipino caregivers and workers in Israel have added to the anger. Amid escalating conflicts (e.g., with Iran), many Filipinos in Israel have sought repatriation, highlighting vulnerabilities.
  10. Because their behavior comes nothing close to it, that's how bad it is. Not understand why they even have a meeting, the only solution is to send them back. The same issues now also come to light in many other countries including sri lanka, vietnam, cyprus and many others. The fact they are able to get this bad reputation with so few people on the entire world, in such a short time, in a way it really means 9/10 behave like this, is quite incredible. Maybe a new world record? Having said that they now run around with their tails between their legs down south.
  11. Sorry no farangs allowed, begging is illegal too.
  12. How can high blood pressure even be a pre existing thing while it can be something you had before, and have again, while often being a side effect of something else. Crook insurances.
  13. Doubt its a issue to let a Thai doctor claim it it was not pre existing that long ago and the insurance would just pay, in most other cases the people they talk about are old already and have insurance issues 9/10 times to begin with (aside from 100-200K a year fees). Spoke to a retiree a while ago who pays nearly 220,000 a year by now, while having a good buffer, it didn't make much sense to me, you can pay cash for that with some savings + the years he already paid and if staying fine still will be paying. Guess it's a rich man luxury for him to just pay anyways but he could easily have had 1 million in the bank already as he paid that 5+ years.
  14. Can nowadays also just pay with the wireless option on any visa or mastercards. Works also in 7/11 from 200 baht on my European cards now. Many of these new online companies offering to top up for paying with QR codes actually only works when you scan a business code. This while most owners and shops use private ones. So anyway I would say cash + the foreign cards which work fine nowadays, apple pay more and more too. In Vietnam that's already my standard everywhere, cheaper than withdrawing and converting cash too.
  15. 3 and 8 is golden of course. In urban enough areas. I'm missing the option of being married while still doing 3 and 8. At the end 50% of Thais does 3 too.
  16. Why does it need to be there, you can go to any branch in the country to do that.
  17. Making an example out of it, most of the debts are made up from thin air due to the huge interests that make it impossible to finish paying even they already paid 2-3X what they originally borrowed. It's not stupid but evil smart.
  18. It would not change the same problematic outcomes, every measure is just a distraction. Same Thailand tries to fix deficits by introducing the 300b arrival tax etc etc. Fundamental issues persist and only get worse over time. It's a global issue btw, anyone in any country just tries to buy time.
  19. That's nothing significant if looking at the increased amount of dollars in circulating, which appear to be increased again soon. Like the supply in covid alone doubled it, interesting to know and easy to forget is that the Deutsche bank was about to crash, and then covid came allowing for the biggest print in history. From this same perspective Bitcoin in reality never really reached a new high since the old 60K high. As money supply is double a price of 120K is the same as 60K before covid. The stupidity is to think one president term changes this reality. Meanwhile wages and pensions are almost the same, and on a next collapse it's the stock markets, house market and pension funds that all crash at once. AKA the big reset in 2030 to then come up with some virtual ID and virtual money only, apparently given straight from central banks to individuals (basic income) + work whatever you work on top or not.
  20. It's silly to link macro economic cycles and problems to a current president to begin with, these issues exist and keep existing until they are solved. Virtually the only solution to that is a major global economic crisis and collapse.
  21. Yes every non-resident, as well for just a day visit, they account for like 80% of total arrivals. This is no different in Thailand too, anyone who would clear immigration, every single time, appears to count. That means I count for like 4 per year or more already.
  22. Another quality israeli, it gives a good impression how it is with virtually all down south. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17YutJwEqk/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  23. Only on phuket not elsewhere
  24. Its all over the news many reports, you can google the recent ones. Turns out there is also like over 1000 illegal companies in general and 300 illegal hotels / accomodations on phangan alone.
