  1. This is almost as bad as retirees coming over here and starting a new family...
  2. I would but if you are a golden retriever then it would be lost on you. 270K baht.. Did you buy it 25 years ago... haha.. Post some pics. Only an idiot would buy property here in another persons name. I would bet to venture 5 out of 10 end in a disaster. And I would venture to say it would be more like 8 out of 10.
  3. Nonsense, most come over here with no idea what is going on. The last thing that they need to do is invest. I would venture to say no matter how much money you have the number one thing people regret when retiring here is buying property and investing heavely. AS far as women goes? You can plan for them and yourself more security than buying land and building houses for them.. I am always amazed at the guys that give this advice. Personally I set up a trust for my GF here. With payments to her until she dies. Then the stocks will be sold and given to my heirs.
  4. Guess you can do what ever you want with your money. I come here to enjoy myself not hassle with buying property I cannot own, build and invest here. I have done that already.. Why would anyone come here on retirement and want to invest? I would say people that come here and invest in property and homes are the most likely to get scammed.. Or any business here for that matter.
  5. What is the treatment for cannabis overdose in a hospital. An assorted food platter.. Thailand will be opening up accredited cannabis over dose hospitals, they will take your blood pressure, temp and then give you a tray for the all you can eat buffet.
  6. If you are coming here to retire RENT. End of story. Thailand is not bad if you don't get caught up in their scams. Some very nice rentals here, and when the place needs repairs move to the next newest one. They are a dime a dozen here.
  7. I have been to SA a few times, I would say it compares to SE Asia as far as garbage goes. Definitely more dangerous. If not for that it would be hands down a better destination by miles.
  8. My GF of many years just bought a little over half a rai right outside of KK for 300,000. Now waiting for the power company, for power.
  9. My landlady is a looker, I told her if I can turn the moon red it is a sign that the gods want me to mate with her... Here is hoping there are no clouds.
  10. This law on ownership will never happen! Even if it is ridiculous...
  11. Was in Pattaya a few weeks ago and stayed a couple of weeks. A couple of late night walks and I thought I was in a 1950's spy movie.. Shady looking foreigners looked pretty scary..
  12. Hard to believe groups get together and plot such things...
  13. That is quite a celebration in Mexico. Absolutely amazing. But, your wife has got them beat in the looks dept.... ????
  14. I have read the China debt to GDP is the highest in the world and the Chinese are printing the Yuan faster than any currency in history. Also the rich Chinese are bailing out faster than a rat on a sinking ship. I don't have any political agenda what so ever but kinda curious what will happen in the next few years.
  15. Will have to see what will happen in the future. The Chinese stock market took a 6 trillion dollar hit with the Xi for life party leader. I hate to say this here but, I think the US should do exactly what it is doing. Just wait it out a few more years.
  16. I bet the Putin costumes were flying off the shelves this year.
  17. General Prayut Chan ocha had an unscheduled meeting on Monday with his three oldest and most trusted cabinet colleagues If only I had a monopoly on black hair dye. I would be set for life here...
  18. I can see it now. Electric trucks with a diesel generator in the back.
  19. This is turning into a bigger joke than the TOT reports.
  20. As soon as he takes over.. All immigration officers will report for real estate sales training. If an expat is wanting a one year extension , it will be mandatory to sit threw a 3 day seminar on the"Joys of Owning a Condo in Thailand". If you spend 5-10million Baht you get a 5 year tourist visa, that will be re-evaluated in 5 years. And if you buy before the 3 day seminar is over you will get fast tracked. ???? This is Just a joke, I am sure he would make a great leader.
  21. You would not believe it if I told you, but you are not to far off..
  22. Wish they would do the same in the US, I have a Thai family living across from me that is dragging down the property value by thousands of dollars.. ugggg
  23. I am the worst of the bunch, I travel all the time. Drive an old beat up pickup and stay at 500-1000 Baht digs / night. Personally I have tried to spend a few extra Baht but I am miserable. Cannot stand it. Old habits die hard.
