Pretty sure they got the booze part down, but didn't have or save any money for the hookers, or they wouldn't be so, negative, grumpy, miserable

@rikiderorck "I’m a European with a solid six-figure amount saved and I’m planning to move to Phuket to start a small tourism business." I hope it starts with a lot of 9s, as 6 figures on Phuket doesn't go too far, especially for a noob investor that doesn't seem to have a clue. "So what advice would you give me based on your own experiences and knowledge in the matter ?" Don't invest any money in Thailand, as you are a bankruptcy waiting to happen. My wife will gladly help you invest in land, guarantee a 100% ROI in 5 years, for a 20% fee of profits.

You're just conx through, so as long as you stay in the airport, (secure areas), you're fine.

US, EU & JP are too far behind to even come close to catching up, within the next decade. Best bet is continue their silly taxes/tariffs and hope they can compete sometime in the future. Though highly unlikely.

I'm here 😎 Oh yea ... some of the landscape ...

That's not too surprising, since 50% of income earners pay little to no income tax, and don't want to give up their free sh!t. Or simply listen to fake MSM, and believe all the lies ... IMHO Most people with an opinion, haven't read the bill ... but OMG, did you hear what's in it Irrelevant, as they will cower & comply to the whims of the corrupt 535, who represent their own interest, but, get reelected by those that don't agree with what they are doing, or how things are. Go figure ...

Not if 'Made in USA', But if 'product of USA', then possibly suspect of using ingredients from CH. Also depends where Heinz is being produced at. Many US companies have factories outside of the USA. Many of the USA brands are produced out of the USA, some are not even owned by US companies. Just subsidiaries of non USA companies, and may only have a HQ, or not, in the USA, for optics. Ms Google ... "Kraft Heinz has a significant presence in Asia, with its Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore. They have 12 manufacturing plants across Southeast Asia, Greater China, and Australia" ,,,

You obviously don't know what income brackets pay most of the taxes in the USA. It's not the poor. ... "Most of the government’s federal income tax revenue comes from the nation’s top income earners. In 2022, the top 5% of earners — people with incomes $261,591 and above — collectively paid over $1.3 trillion in income taxes, or about 61% of the national total. If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $178,611 — that figure rises to $1.5 trillion, or 72% of the total. The top 50% of earners contributed 97% of federal income tax revenue." I'll translate that for you ... 50% of lower income earners, only paid 3% https://usafacts.org/articles/who-pays-the-most-income-tax/

The problem isn't what people do or where they put things. It about who, the do them with. Consenting adults who be the proper people to enjoy yourself with. And you never went to the back door with any of you partners ???

Apparently you didn't understand my post. Cut staffing that obviously, were not doing a very good job, since the poison is already in the food supply. Are you awake now 😎 And yea, with you and the rest of the deranged folks, everything was, is, and will be, Trump's fault. Yea, I'm done with you also.

Obvious they were corrupt or very inefficient in their job, since the poisonous food supply was there before Trump was president. It will always be Trumps fault with the deranged folks. Bringing Trump into the conversation, is simply proof, that ultra processed for is healthy for you. Trump being 79 years old and seemingly only exists on junk food

I agree ... I didn't say I believe all are grooming, simply that I understand how they, some people come to that conclusion. No different that some think all priest are child molesters, or all blacks are criminals.

Yep, headlines like this don't help the alphabet / pride pushing / drag queen reading to kids / men in ladies restrooms as being acceptable, forced on others. No wonder so many equate those policy pushes to be nothing but grooming children. Countering all the 'advances' over the decades of homo & bisexual choices being accepted.

Billions of $$$ involved, but good luck and hopefully RFK is successful, as long overdue. @transam it's not just potassium bromate. So much crap in USA food, banned in UK and other countries.

I think it's all accumulative, depending on one's diet. Potassium bromate linked to cancer in animal tests, and a common ingredient in bread, if not banned, and yes, it is banned in the UK. Add to that the sugars and hydrogenated oils used in junk food, ultra processed food, and many suspect that as a cause for higher 'new' cancer rates in developed countries. Your family in te 80s & 90s year old brackets, weren't raised and these possibly unhealthy foods, and more of a whole foods diet most of their lives. Many of the USA ingredients used are banned in the UK. Any wonder the high 'new' cancer rates among 1st world countries that folks now live on store bought processed food vs home cooking of whole foods. Scan my cabinets, and you'll find little to no processed packaged food. A bag of corn flakes and some dairy products mostly in our house. From wiki, and top 14 countries with cancer rates per 100k ... NMSC = non-melanoma skin cancer

Read the ingredients, if having Potassium bromate, you may want to give it a pass. Still allowed in USA, but banned in many countries, as are a lot of ingredients used in USA food processing. Whole grain, or just whole wheat flour being marginally healthier, a bit more protein, less carbs. Also consider, whole grain or just whole wheat bread isn't 100% of that flour. 10% to 50% max, and it's about flavor & texture. When I use whole wheat flour, its ~40% split with 60% bread flour.

I think 'buy' is where the problem comes in, if in the USA. Make your own is only way to ensure what the ingredients are.

It's safe, as long as they keep banning cars from CH via tariffs. Not sure what the MAGA has to do with he subject, aside from spewing my hate. Therapy may help with that ... or not

Make sure you take out the max you bank / card allows, and get that increased to a much as the Thai ATMs will disperse. If I had to pay almost $8 to access only $500 of my own money, I'd be pissed Guessing AEON is still cheaper ???

Impressive ❤️ Keep this up and I may need to get some of the license plate blurring thingys I see on YT. Progress taking all the joy out of driving illegally

@rikiderorck It's good that all your topics are investing related ... BUT ... what's your home country, how old are you, and how much are you talking about investing ? As one topic, you stated 'is it good to invest all in 1 thing?' NO, that's never a good thing, unless experienced. Good that your interest are RE related, as hard to actually lose, but unless you can buy land in TH (you can't) then profits are minimal, if any. Or long term ROI. Other thoughts, require a Thai partner, so you have no real control. Job market is fine, if you have a marketable skill, allowed in TH. Investing in RE, in your home country, would be a much better, safer idea, especially if a socialist country, USA, UK, EU. TH is not the place to invest, especially your life's savings, unless very experienced, and your queries point out that you are not.
