How long does it take to smash together two bricks? They're clearly not using the right approach.

The online pharmacies tend to be rather expensive. You would be better to contact the likes of PB Pharmacy and Diamond Pharmacy. Both have large operations with relatively cheap prices.

The official price is shown at https://www.goldtraders.or.th/ The site is in Thai, but it's the third of the quotes - currently 41,000.00 baht per baht.

Mozart, a composer, would decompose in his grave.

I thought that was why they took the yaa baa.

If that were true, the UK market would have performed far better than it has. Since the start of the millennium the FTSE 100 is up about 25% - pretty much 1% per year. And it's on a P/E ratio of 14.2.

What you're seeing in Thailand is almost certainly False Ashoka (Monoon longifolium), rather than Ashoka (Saraca asoca) which is a rainforest tree.

I suggest you work your way through the reading course at https://thai-notes.com/reading/index.html There are so many irregularities and idiosyncrasies in Thai that you'll struggle if you try to work it out for yourself.

S&P 500 only includes companies listed on American stock exchanges. Nasdaq 100 is 95.3% US companies. Not quite sure how you could consider either to be "internationally diversified".

Tosh. The Australian market has outperformed the US markets over the last 120 years. https://www.quantifiedstrategies.com/best-performing-stock-markets-in-the-world/ I presume you're an American who has American "exceptionalism" banged into their brains since birth. Just ain't true.

Think about the enormous amount of safety testing that a vehicle has to go through before being put on the market. These tin sheds have no testing at all.

Pretty sure that's wrong. To quote KPMG I recently was dealing with a lawyer who specialised in domicile matters and he advised me to avoid stock market investments in both the US and the UK since both these countries impose death taxes upon in situ assets such as equities registered in the respective countries. The US tax threshold is very low US$ 60,000, and the UK one GBP 325,000.

One often sees pickup trucks with a tin shed fitted over the cargo bed. This seems to me to be dangerous. Is it actually legal in Thailand?

Why to Thai truck drivers blow their air horns rhythmically all hours of day and night? Anyone know?

I'm left wondering why? (1) Why opened in Thailand? Did you mean opened from Thailand? If so, then any of the large US brokers which accepts overseas clients would do the job. My first choice would be Interactive Brokers. I checked on two of the ETFs on the list, and it has them. (2) Why would a non-US person invest in US domiciled assets when they would face death taxes on any amount above US$60,000?

Only the clueless would make such an ill-informed comment.

But don't expect to be able to find anywhere to park. There are massive works going on at the moment. Several of the roads are shut. And parking is currently incredibly congested.

Former Prime Minister Srettha said he wanted to restore Suvarnabhumi Airport's status as a top 20 global airport within five years. https://thailand.prd.go.th/en/content/category/detail/id/52/iid/265164 And the Tourism Authority of Thailand is constantly banging on how it wants to attract quality tourists. I'm not sure that making first class passengers queue up for an hour or more on arrival just to get through Immigration (where perhaps half the desks are unmanned) is really going to contribute to those goals.

The link in the first post is wrong. It should be https://loyaltylobby.com/2024/08/22/bangkok-airport-removes-fast-track-immigration-on-arrival-for-first-business-class-travelers/

Do you mean hoopoe? The colourful bird with the spectacular crest?

I'm guessing that such money would be distributed through the local kamnan who will take a large cut for doing the distribution. It's happened before.

From the description, treeshrew or moonrat.

"Racist Mob Violence" - surely that should be "Patriot Mob Violence". The British people were never asked whether they wanted their communities to be degraded by vast numbers of people from less civilised countries.

Definitely seems on the expensive side. I pay 20 baht for a strip of 10 100 mg pills. The brand is Puride, purchased from PB Pharmacy in Bangkok.

Or one can do a little bit of research and find international bank accounts with far lower minimums. Standard Bank (Isle of Man) has a minimum of GBP 5,000 (or even less if you use them for wealth management). https://international.standardbank.com/international/personal/products-and-services/bank/international-bank-accounts/optimum-bank-account
