  1. Lets see here a 250 baht meal from McDonald's would cost 250 dollars instead of around 8 dollars like now.... Buy 4 lady drinks in a GoGo bar and your out 1000 dollars instead of 30 dollars like now.... Heck it in a few weeks your life savings would be gone..And all farang would be homeless and would be sleeping on the beach begging for food...
  2. Indian Currency...Today 2000 rupee is worth 22.26 dollars..
  3. Good post.... Anyone who does not have the brains see going cashless will eventually turn people into slaves with zero freedom....... These people might as well be sheep....They really cant be called humans... In a cashless world, there will hardly be a need for prisons...They will just turn your money off if you get out of line, or offend the thought police by saying the wrong thing...
  4. At 500ST 1000LT Lisa could bring in quite a lot of money to Thailand..
  5. Who "They" are is up for debate....But they know exactly what they are doing regarding the baht.. And I think your right about Cambodia...
  6. A very strong Thai Baht will cause poverty on a mass scale in Thailand.....Thailand's manufacturing base, which they love to yap about, will be torpeotoed...
  7. This whole Gold trading mumbo jumbo is nonsense... India has a large chunk of the world's supply of gold.And vast amounts of gold are traded there every day... Yet the Indian Rupee has been falling like a rock against the baht even more so than the US dollar.... So why is the Rupee not shooting to the moon with all this gold trading?
  8. Don't worry, folks Dr Nick will be writing all the weed prescriptions you want....
  9. They are finally getting to use all the toys that a Gazillion baht has been spent on.... And the longer this Non-war, Non-conflict goes on, the more money that can be spent on new toys.... Christmas came early this year for the procurement crew and trough feeders....
  10. What's the problem....The act of overpaying on procurements is part the Thais DNA.....From manhole covers to Submarines...The pocket stuffing with dirty money is epidemic...
  11. There is no war, and there is no conflict...Its all a big show to get big money streams flowing in the correct direction towards the military... And it seems to be working pretty well...
  12. Ok here you go...When I find good food I stick with it and dont stray..... Here are 4 places I have ordered over 50 times.... 1.Hot meals 2U https://www.hotmeals2u.com/ The big burrito with extra refried beans... Superb... 2..Honest Indian Lunch special on Grab between 2-5 PM Superb.... 3,Outlaw pizza 12 inch Supream thick crust Grab or Line Superb... 4 El Greco grab Every Thing is good Superb...
  13. There are LOADs of choices on the food apps....Its simply impossible not to vote at least a 7-8-9 or 10.
  14. I thought the Big C food court was your favorite....lol

    Both Makro on Samui is so much better than in Pattaya. Why not fly to Samui and buy your potatoes there..
  16. Scams- The new boogyman...That justifies just about any crackdown under the sun.. Before, I recall scams only being a minor concern...
  17. For you thumbs down folks.... I got news for you....It's been a very long time since a war was a straight-up honest afair of a country defending itself... They call it Theater of War for a reason... And this petty, lame squabble here is a strong candidate for inclusion in the one-star theater list..
  18. Bla bla bla Stupid.......If you're sloshing drunk and one 7-11 will not sell, just walk to the next 7-11 a block away....
  19. What luck finding this treasure trove of evidence which justifies continuing the war..... The generals mia-noys have never been happier....Big Joop Joop to all the taxpayers...

    I have not been keeping notes on this. But over the last 20 years I would say western farang deaths by motorbike are quite a bit higher in Phuket as compared to Pattaya... Pattaya has weekly even daily sometimes Thai deaths by motorbike, but surprisingly, farang deaths by motorbike are almost, but not quite, uncommon in Pattaya.... I think one reason is that all expats are almost forced to get a motorbike in Phuket...No one wants to deal with the awful taxis in Phuket....

    Are you a man or a mouse.... A man does as he likes and does not worry about ruffling feathers.. A mouse walks on eggshells and tries to please everyone...
  22. A negative interest rate is an unconventional monetary policy where central banks charge commercial banks to hold their reserves, aiming to spur lending, investment, and spending during economic stagnation or deflation by making saving costly and borrowing cheap
  23. Wrong....There is a thing called negitive intrest rates
  24. Folks the world is going to hell in a handbasket.... Stay in fear and dont trust anyone... Thankfully, AI will save us. And paying loads more taxes will save your bacon and the planet...
