Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
a. You are correct. I recall that time in 2013...very well. I asked my Chinese friends about it, in fact. b. By the way, I truly enjoy my Chinese friends who are now living in Chiang Mai. c. I have no Farang friends. ONLY Thai friends, Chinese friends, Cambodian friends, and Burmese friends, and...LAO PENG YOU...Old Friends.... And, for me, this is really the way that it SHOULD be... -
7 Overlooked Health Risks for Male Expats Living in Thailand

You are unable to hate both half as much as I do. -
Of course. The city, city proper, of CM is a place that I have visited only once in over a decade. It's outside the city that is so nice. Also, the people here, and the community here. So, keep those newcomers out.

Rooster Stress (This is a BIG one, believe it or not. I bet far more Farang die from Rooster Stress than almost any other cause of noise.) -
How much will baht rise tomorrow?
GammaGlobulin replied to Celsius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I recall when the NTD (New Taiwan Dollar) suddenly went from 35:1 to 26:1, in a very short time. Nobody could believe the rapid change. Only I and Merrill Lynch predicted the rise three months in advance. Now, I am predicting that the Baht will trade against the USD...at the rate of... One USD to 26 Thai Baht. Please, this time, mark my words. -
Image is important in a presidential election. And, many here still recall what happened to Nixon, when he stood on stage, next to JFK, for a presidential debate. And now, is history repeating itself, yet again? Here is a nice image for you.... Take a look and tell us if, standing next to Trump, Harris does not seem more like the hired help at the event, rather than someone invited there to engage in a debate. And, what about the White House? Is she nothing more than the "hired help", there too? Nixon learned the hard way that looks matter. Harris seems about to learn the same lesson. Here is an image for you...... Such an image problem she seems to have. Trump, as usual, is just being his usual courteous and charming self. Yes, Sir, Boss... Trump is in his element, and Harris is NOT.... This is just as it should be....

The point is: We know the risk of annihilation or destruction of organized human civilization is high. However, not enough of us are paying attention to this real possibility. If a rogue nuclear bomb were to be detonated, anywhere, then this might be the only thing that can pull the world back from impending disaster. Or, it might increase the likelihood of nuclear conflict. And, the second point I made was.... GO ASK NOAM. You can read what he has to say about nuclear weapons, etc., here....and almost everywhere.... https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20201212053831736 Now, have I made my point???

If only one Nuke Bomb, then, still, it might not lead to a total disaster. In fact, the detonation of just one rogue bomb, anywhere in the world.... Could have a very positive impact on our world. Young people today might just wake up and realize that Reality is Serious Business. Most people do not realize that we still remain On The Eve of Destruction... Or... Just ask Noam.

Dear Folks, This morning, I decided that I might need a security camera, and so I went on Amazon USA, and I clicked on FOUR of THESE: https://www.amazon.com/Tapo-cameras-for-home-security/dp/B0CH45HPZT?ascsubtag=5e6180ea7ae91d00080357ef&tag=w050b-20&th=1 Now, my question is: Was I too hasty? Normally, I do a lot more research before making any purchase, whatsoever. But this morning, I was feeling a bit more frisky and spontaneous, and so I sort of clicked on it almost without thought. Did I make a mistake in my choice? Should I have chosen something available locally in Thailand, instead? I didn't even check for resolution, or focal length of the lens, etc....something which I would normally do. But I guess I was motivated by the red warning sign on Amazon telling me that something will END in about Five Hours...as if...maybe... It might be the End of The World, in Five Hours.... Which must be some marketing strategy of Amazon, or the seller, IDK. Also, why am I in such a rush, anyway, to buy security cameras. Mostly, it boils down to my fear of GHOSTS. You see, I fear that my house might have some form of ghosts visiting my house when I am not vigilant. I am not afraid of thieves nor succubi...and never have been while living in Thailand. It's just the recent visitation of ghosts that now has me feeling anxious and unsettled. For Example: I have this shrine outside near my gate. And this is something common in Thailand, as we all know. However, the problem with my shrine is that the colored liquids in the jars, bottles and bowls sitting on the shrine sometimes become full, seemingly all on their own. How can this be? I mean, this is not like Jesus and the Wine occurrence, is it? No! And this is not being caused by the recent rains we are having here, and not the flooding, either. I already thought of that. The filling of the containers on my shrine happens even when there is no rain. Therefore, I can only attribute this strange happening to ghosts. Ghosts, or it might be someone is climbing the walls around my house. Therefore, if it is merely mere mortals climbing my walls, then I must find out which mortals are doing this. And I must try to discover intent. As we all know, sometimes an innocent behavior can become a problematic behavior. And so it is with thievery. It might go like this: a. The budding thief climbs the walls to just fill the shrine containers. b. Next, he decides to wander about, just out of innocent curiosity. c. And, then, he checks to see that my doors are locked, before wandering inside the house. d. Finally, my new phone cannot be found where I left it. e. I am not saying anything like this will happen, and just that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN in Thailand, or anywhere. So, in case you were wondering... I am installing security cams to catch the ghost which fills the containers on my shrine...a shrine which was put here to protect my house, and not to attract ghosts. In Thailand, as you realize, we all believe in ghosts. If we do not, then this causes problems. In conclusion: Should I cancel this order from Amazon? OR Should I wait for delivery and use these cameras for added peace of mind? Thanking you for your helpful input in advance, And I will be eternally grateful... Best regards, Gamma

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
GammaGlobulin replied to Galong's topic in Phuket
I will keep this in mind for the future. Thank you. -
Some people think that God has already chosen Trump to be the winning candidate November 5th. And, Franklin Graham certainly thinks so. Franklin has now told us that Trump is God's chosen one. And, if I know Franklin, which I do, and quite well... Franklin has an uncanny way of often being right, and not left. Anyway, I would suggest that if you are a believer, you might find this video interesting. And, by the way, I must admit to being quite stirred by Franklin's moving oratory. I am so moved now that I have been praying, myself, after just having finished viewing this video. In fact, although I am not a believer, I have decided to become a believer, IF and Only IF.... God delivers Trump to the White House for a second term. Well, here I am now.... Praying away at my desk, in the hope that my prayers will be heard. I do hope that you are with me on this. Best regards, Gamma

Speaking of riff-raff, I am considering a move to Chiang Rai, to live among the tea plantations. I will hit you up when I arrive... If I can find you. Still, hoping not to spoil things for you.... Too much. -
