    I won't need to send more money until maybe early next year, and that's only if it reaches closer to 37 per USD.

    I came here (2016) to support my wife and daughter (that's it), which was supposed to be only a 4 year stint, and ended up getting stuck here. I have zero attraction to this country, there is absolutely nothing here that even remotely attracts me.

    I don't see the attraction of Thailand, unless you ooh and aah over gaudy looking temples, lets not even get into the overcrowded attractions and traffic.

    As long as it's not a city, I have never been attracted by concrete jungles, traffic, or polluted and over-populated areas......and never will be.

    How do you get a stolen Lamborghini worked on? Wouldn't Lamborghini know it's stolen, thus no parts or support?
  6. lordgrinz
    Yes, back when My daughter was younger and my wife had to go for work conferences/meetings, not planning on returning either.

    All cities suck, Bangkok and NYC most of all. But dealing with the horrible people and culture here, makes things much worse. I stand by my original assessment, Bangkok is a cesspool.

    So the plan is to spend money you don't have, on things you don't need, and borrow from the Chinese to pay for it? Sounds like a great plan!

    Bangkok is about the worst place I could have ever imagined, I hate this place with a passion, it is the perfect example of a cesspool.

    Corruption is embraced by all Thai's, thus it isn't a crime, unless you step on the wrong persons toes or refuse to pay forward.

    Exactly, taking a vacation to Thailand, especially Pattaya or Bangkok is like going on vacation to the Ghettos in NYC.

    I think he meant the "Brits", they seem to be in the news a lot recently, really bad characters coming from that Island nation. 🤪

    If I had that much money, I would have hired a group of people to hunt down the names of everyone involved, then systematically pay for their removal from the breathing.

    Because illegal Thai businesses are standard operating practice, farang bad, Thai good.

    I look forward to seeing Newsom in handcuffs, or better yet, in front of a firing squad.

    We are running 124.3% Debt-to-GDP, we have to stop spending, no matter who the President is, or what party is in office. We should think about passing a law that congress and the President cannot spend one dime until that Debt-to-GDP is under 60%, and to make a law that it cannot exceed that percentage. In fact, if it exceeds that amount for any reason, then the annual budget will need to decrease to compensate.

    Could be worse, in the USA we pay exorbitant amounts of property taxes on our homes, so basically we rent our property from the government under threat of them seizing it if you don't. Which is why I told my wife she should think very carefully before voting for any government here that encourages property taxes.

    I don't think we have ever eaten out for much less than 1000 baht, usually somewhere between 1200-1800 for the 3 of us. Still a whole lot cheaper than my last trip home to the USA.....LOL

    Thank god for dashcams, well worth the investment (front and back cameras), I wouldn't even drive in Thailand without them installed.

    I stick with the Dim Sum menu, wife goes with the boiled routine in this article, so we all order differently 😉

    My daughter is addicted to that place, she has to have the duck and green noodles, or she won't survive. However, she has found a new favorite of Seabass and Truffle Pasta at a new hangout of ours.

    Since banks are turning down loans, this means people (especially the poor) are more than likely going with loans from loansharks. So, you can bet the debt is worst than even these numbers show.
  23. lordgrinz
    2000 baht would barely cover the interest per month.

    Are there statistics on how many have made it into the UK from Thailand with a massive amount of marijuana without being caught? Because I can't see the risk-reward benefit to this endeavor.

    You're forgetting about the share of the brown envelopes she will more than likely get, it pays to be a government (local/national) employee.
