The interest on your capital would cover the rent and you would have the total freedom to up sticks and move if necessary plus with renting you carry none of the risks....fire, subsidence, coups, maintenance....... On top of that you retain your capital and don't run the additional risk of having a fire sale if money is needed in an emergency.

Bangkok could be submerged in seven years warns economist
Will B Good replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Nothing happened? Satellite Data: NASA (the ones who never landed astronauts to the moon) and other space agencies have been using satellites to measure sea levels since the early 1990s. This data shows a clear trend of rising sea levels, with an average increase of about 3.3 millimeters per year over the past few decades. So even if the rate increase remains constant and doesn't accelerate, the impact will be devastating for..... ### **Small Island Nations** 1. **Maldives**: An archipelago in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is the world's lowest-lying country, with an average elevation of just about 1 meter above sea level. Rising sea levels threaten to submerge many of its islands. 2. **Kiribati**: Located in the central Pacific Ocean, Kiribati is highly vulnerable to rising sea levels, with some of its atolls already experiencing significant land loss and saltwater intrusion. 3. **Tuvalu**: Also in the Pacific, Tuvalu faces similar threats as Kiribati, with many of its islands only a few meters above sea level. 4. **Marshall Islands**: Another Pacific nation, the Marshall Islands is grappling with rising sea levels that threaten to inundate its low-lying atolls. 5. **Fiji**: While some of Fiji’s islands are mountainous, others are low-lying and vulnerable to sea level rise. Fiji has already begun relocating some communities. ### **Coastal Countries** 1. **Bangladesh**: A densely populated country with much of its land just above sea level, Bangladesh is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels, which could displace millions of people. 2. **Vietnam**: The Mekong Delta in Vietnam is a crucial agricultural area but is highly susceptible to rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion, threatening both food security and livelihoods. 3. **Netherlands**: Although the Netherlands has extensive flood defenses, rising sea levels continue to pose a long-term threat, particularly to areas that are below sea level. 4. **Indonesia**: Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world due to a combination of rising sea levels and subsidence. The country is planning to move its capital to a new location. 5. **Egypt**: The Nile Delta is at risk from rising sea levels, which could impact agriculture, infrastructure, and densely populated areas. ### **U.S. Coastal Regions** 1. **Florida**: Particularly Miami, faces significant risks from sea level rise, with regular flooding becoming more common. 2. **Louisiana**: The state has been losing land to the Gulf of Mexico for decades, and rising sea levels exacerbate this issue. 3. **New York City**: Coastal areas of New York, including parts of Manhattan, are at risk, especially from storm surges amplified by sea level rise. These are just a few examples, but many other regions around the world are also threatened by the ongoing impacts of climate change and rising sea levels. -

You're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. Am I supposed to take offense at being called a newbie? Beyond that, there is nothing of substance in your response to warrant any further reply.

Koh Samui eyes approval of 12.1 billion baht cruise terminal
Will B Good replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Just as other major tourist centres ban large cruise ships and restrict tourists from swamping destinations......it's all in the timing I guess. -
And neither could Trump afterwards......that's why Fox News cut him off at the knees.
