All depends on how and if China is hit with sanctions or the water ways become dangerous. It is intended strictly for China. Look at a map. Only thing that could muck this up is India. China better start bending over and kissing India's A$$.

Wow, 900K. For 5 years. Must be selling to business people that can write it off.

I agree about the deficit. What a mess in the US. Right now everyone is pumping their extra cash into the US so it's not a problem. But, if there is ever a hiccup it will throw us in a serious recession IMO. China? way to late. Their deficit is taking them down as we speak. Housing, western decoupling. China has no tax base, they rely on trade. Basically with China in 10 years it will no longer be much of a power. Hopefully the US will reign its debt. If not there is trouble ahead if there is a major problem of some kind. My opinion anyway. So, for now the US is fine. Future who knows. US politicians spend like there is no tomorrow. It will eventually cause a huge problem for the US people.

Hub of useless paperwork, rules and regulations.

Joke of the day. S&P just hit record highs. The US is and has been on an upward trajectory for the last few months. My US and Mexico stocks are ALL in the green by a wide margin. China has lost Trillions, IMO will never be a player again. Thailand is right on Chinas coat tails. Most US retirees and tourists are finally fed up with the nonsense in Thailand. You can take your TM30, 1 year visa extension, 800K and stick it where the sun don:t shine. P.S. I forgot the 90 day reports.

Thailand bet on China and snubbed the Western countries. What can you say,, bye bye Thailand. We will see if China will throw you a life jacket as you go under. But don:t worry you won:t have long to wait for your brothers in China to keep you company.

Throwing him a bone to quiet the other democratic countries. Doesn't matter. Thailand will never be democratic again.

Best advice is go to the Philippines. Skip Thailand.

Their strategy was set when the constitution was ratified with the last coup. Thailand will never be a democratic nation. And the path forward is follow China. Not much to worry about now. And too late for the Thai people to do anything about it. just hope for the best.

This should not go any farther than the model on the desk.

Another reason I left , I like to travel, and was in Kolok doing some birding. They would not let me do the 90 day report there, I had to fly back to Chiang Mai?? To do a 90 day report. Screw their 90 day report. And , all their ongoing rules and reg's. I have been in countries that make Thailand look like a 1'st world utopia, and did not have half the problems with immigration. IMO just another Autocratic run country that will fall to the wayside eventually.

Joke of the day, I think we all have your number now comrade.

Appreciated. I have been looking into solar. Yep you are the one that posted the video. I will head over there now.

Are you really that dense.. Same reason people and I order parts from auto parts houses in the US. And by the way the parts advertised from your comrade were advertised and boxed in Toyota boxes and advertised as OEM products. Curious where you are from, and why you are on a thread about cars it you know nothing about them? Here is a flash for you comrade, They sell Toyota's in China.. Toyota parts are the same quality world wide. Comrad

Hahaha, they all seem to be falling down. Skyscrapers, bridges. falling and crumbling. But, I am sure your mentor Xi will back you up.. LOL

Hahaha, You really don't know what you are talking about do you? ... hahahaha Carry on.. LOL Sorry I get the impression of you as a card carrying CCP member, definitely not anyone that know anything about , well anything ... hahaha

I would love to crawl under one of those cars after a couple of years and look for myself. Do a few checks and check how the parts are holding up. The worst parts I have ever seen from china were the parts with rubber in them. Suspension parts especially. Total , and I mean total junk. Everyone in the US that does any wrenching avoids mechanical part from China. At this point all I buy are seat covers, cosmetic items . I have a set of seat covers for my Tundra I just ordered and got in , excellent ++ quality. Another thing I love from china is the Xiaomi phones. Excellent +++++++++ phones. Bought my first one many years ago in Malaysia and have been using them ever since. The guy that posted the video on his solar house is another item I would like to try out from China. I have heard they are good panels. I need to do some research on the inverters and see some reviews on them.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra in the US. I have tried for years to buy quality parts from China. That video clearly shows the exact thing I have been threw with my Toyota when ordering and installing parts from China. I mean it was like exactly my experience with parts. So, I would have to see it to believe it. No offense to you electric car guys, I know nothing about them what so ever. But, I personally would not buy one. Last truck I had in Thailand was a turbo diesel and it was an excellent truck. And it was a lousy Ford... haha. 350KM on the clock and still running when I left.

Bought and paid for by the CCP..

Thailand is going down a slippery slope IMHO. Look at a map. This will bypass the hostel countries to China. Philippines, Australia , Malaysia. Supplying oil, and goods to and from China. Oil imports to China, and from the Saudi:s, United Emirates , Pakistan , Iran , are picking up. 10-1 , this is bought and paid for by the CCP. When things get hostile they will have a direct pipeline to China. Very interested in seeing how this goes. But, I bet it is put on a fast track. Actually a good move by the CCP if it goes through. Even more interesting to me is how Thailand is aligning with China in all things political. Wow, if we ever see a conflict this is going to get pretty wild for Thailand. You could see bombing of the pipeline, roads in Thailand. At the very least a strange explosion taking out the pipeline. You expats are in for some fun times.

Same thing here. After 10 years I left. I hated all the places I went to. You get accustomed to Thailand. But, I decided to give it time, and now? I would never go back to live in Thailand. I flip flopped for 3 years, and now the thought of heading to Thailand is agonizing. I have to force myself to go back for a few months to visit friends.

Yes it is true, if you want that life. Thailand , Philippines , SE Asia in general is the best place to be.. Definitely bypass South America IMO.

I would classify it as a huge mistake. But, if I sold mine it would be a huge capital gain. In Thailand for the wife or GF it would be classified as a windfall... haha

So basically you sell your house in the US. Build a house in Thailand. The wife or girlfriend kicks you out , you loose the house then have to pay tax on the money that built the house... hahaha. You just thought you had heard some horror stories before, just wait...

People have been saying that about Tesla ever since they came out. They all lost that bet.
