....fine upstanding citizens.

It only takes one finger on one hand to actively bang the keyboard.????????

Phuket....a place a lot of tourists visit....but only once.????????

Hi Sharksy. Your call can be correct depending on the individuals personal circumstances (age is a large factor.) Generally, "Cash is King" relates to people who have a need to spend in the immediate future (eg: house deposit), and wish to protect their funds. Also for those who find they can not sleep at night through market volatility. The balanced portfolio provides some security from downturns and also allows a springboard when markets pick up. Yes....it's a brutal game.????????

Surely it was raining somewhere in Thailand?????????

I understand there are similar groups roaming around India. Maybe looking for a travel agent offering buy one flight, get 4 free.????????

Like coffee. Buy 10 get one free.????????

My agent 5,000.His assistant did the work. Included CoR, took me to a 200 baht clinic where the doctor asked "How old?" Hmmph he said you look fit and signed off. Drove me from East Patts to the MoT (I only have bike), walked me to the front of the queue downstairs & again upstairs - drove me home. 3 hours in all. Yes, you must attend for video, color, reaction tests & photo. 1,000 baht/year I reckon was good value. Cheers.????????

Snakes are very good at wiggling/wriggling, particularly when it's played out in the snake's Court.????????

A classic Freudian Slip. Well spotted Sir/Madame????????

The media could also stop suggesting that there is a Constitutional Court. It is Cha-Cha's plaything.....er, Court.????????

Ok. Job done. Now everybody off to the 20 baht shop to buy a plastic badge of valor.????????

Hello Bob. First thread we all had a laugh. Didn't mummy tell you not to push your luck. Don't forget to tell mummy the sheets need changing Bob. Bye-bye Bob.

Unfortunately, it is up to the company desiring the signatures as to whether he is a super genuine guy. If that company is based overseas, it may be a tall ask for them to accept.????????

Aus embassy currently charging 1,900 baht per document and pre-booked appt required. If you are unsure re who can sign, the embassy is your safest bet. Yes, a long way to go so if possible, try to make a day (or 2 of it.) Good Luck.????????

You have made it clear that you are still angry about whatever mistakes you made in 2008. Goodbye.????????

Watching the video was great. Comments and chortles from those who understood English! Like you, I originally had IDP so no written test. That was some 8+ years ago though.????????

I suggest that 2008 has long gone, totally different world now - Move on. Plenty of opportunities out there. Research your goals (and remember that future expected returns should not be based on past returns.) If unsure.... "Cash can be King". Good hunting.????????

Ever heard of a balanced portfolio? Sounds like you got badly burned in '08 & made some bad decisions. Better luck this time around.????????

I worked in the superannuation/ pensions game for 30 years. Looked at markets and investment returns every day as part of my job. Simply put..."It's not timing the market but time in the market".????????

Good one Jacko. "Frock!" Haven't heard that for yonks. Not sure if they can be purchased in Soi 6 Patts.????????

Oh! Oh! It's a Safety First bag Pattaya day. Next comment please????????

Nothing to see here. Happens all over the world. Next news item please.????????

Yep. Take out all the BS. Agent time.

I hate it when my Thai wife has a good laugh. It usually ends up being at my expense.????????
