  1. Wonder who the next military dictator will be?
  2. My thought exactly. I prefer to live the last few years of my life breathing good air, exercising . Good quality of life matters to me. Everyone makes their own choices in life.
  3. I tried living there, when I was younger it was barely tolerable. As I got older it turned into a major health issue for me. Luckily I had the fund to escape. Miserable is an understatement.
  4. True, but you go ahead and lap up the sugar... I will dance on your grave.. _Enjoying my last days healthy and happy in my old age...
  5. It is still an epidemic in the US. Good comments here. Sugar is a guaranteed death sentence.
  6. Capital gains are a big part of my income. I personally would not consider living there . Just me I guess. Another cog in the wheel for retirement IMHO. Don't want to do the yearly extension, Don't want to do the 90 day reports, Do not want to deal with the Thai tax man. Not to mention all the rules that go along with retirement there for US expats. Pass big time. Like the old saying goes "Nice to visit, but would not want to live there"
  7. But the country’s new government Government has not changed and will not change. Joke of the day!
  8. Thailand is on their way out, China will drag them down to levels of 20 years ago. And the powers in charge will never change course. It would mean they were wrong.
  9. Targeting a nation that is in financial distress? Great plan!
  10. Haha, well second "Joke of the day!"
  11. TAT doing what it does best.
  12. Their desperate , Desperate people do stupid , stupid things.
  13. Thailand has based their whole economy on the Chinese. Hence these articles. Thailand is in decline as are the Chinese. A few condo sales to the Chinese who have the means to get out of China is hardly a huge and sustaniable condo market. Chinese with a few bucks are desperate to get it out of China. At present the housing market in China has collapsed, the stock market has collapsed. If I were Chinese I would be doing the same.
  14. Demographics. Less workers more money.
  15. I would go back to live for a while if the government had not gotten so greedy. Chinese tourists are gone for good. Thailand tourism will continue to decline. That means my buying power would go farther. But, with the government getting involved it is a no go zone for me even with the current exchange rate. RIP Thailand.
  16. Years ago didn't they try to open up between all the bordering countries? I cannot remember the details but I was very hopeful then. And it went nowhere!
  17. When I was there a few years ago if you complained in Cambodia you were killed. Now with the autocracy government in Thailand you will be deported back to Cambodia to be dealt with. What a lovely country to call home.
  18. Anybody want to see what Thailand was like 75 years ago go to Cambodia. The forests are burning day and night. After the forests are gone the real burning starts with crops. So he is going to say, Do with we say not what we do? Joke of the day!
  19. Depends on the time of the year for me. If not the burning season 90 days is perfect. If burning they could offer 10000 baht and 180 days and I would not come to Thailand.
