Middle Aged Grouch

The farangs who have not declared in their home country the purchase for their house in Thailand should start to worry and quickly sell.

He would definately make visa issues and formalities much more simple and quick for the quality retirees who are residents in Europe. Mainly residents of countries like France, Germany, or Switzerland who are fully insured for all medical expenses by law by their social security schemes and are wealthy retirees with big pensions. He also may make a simple task like getting a residence certificate from immigration more simple, quick and with less paperwork. Such little details are important and can push people to choose another country to spend their pensions.

Reminds me of some stories from residents in pool villa developpments in Hua Hin. The farang developpers will agree to all the requests from buyers and only show up later, once the upgrades are made and paid, and only them inform that it was the wrong or non-compatible choice.

Another good reason never to become a full time resident here and again Thailand will loose money from the high spending retirees who will change their residence status in Thailand and stay for shorter time.

You think that no bribes are given in Europe, on purchase of military gear amongst NATO member nations who are politely and implicitly required to purchase a quota of US weaponery ? There were quite a few scandals involving some top ranking ministers in Germany on the issue in the past...

The US-Thai commercial issue should rather be taken from the opposite stance. Thailand should rather seek developping new business ventures with superpowers like Europe, Russia, the Middle East, China or India and not so much with the US that has an economy that is nearing foreclosure !

At least the lad has money to spend...not like some tourist overstaying farangs who think themselves superior but are totally broke.

you are over reacting for no reason...sad sack ?

Thanks to all those co-funders, green radicals, wokes and the rest....the prices will surge for all ....with or without a stupid EV. Glad i got a fuel, non rechargeable hybrid.

In our area they are killed with no other form of hesitation.

Bullying unfortunately has crossed the boundries of social media and has become a despicable daily routine when having to deal with your jerk-cum-as***le of the day, unfortunately. And it takes many different forms.

Never had such issues in daily use of firefix, The only thing that really sucks with FF is when one tries to log in the FF account with a different computer and it's a real mess to recover the memorised usernames/passwords.

Foreigners or anybody else... is always well treated in Thailand, provide they show reciprocity in respect. But when one sees the arrogance of certain farangs who go out of their way to think they are superiour to the locals or even other foreigners, what can one expect ? It gives a bad name to all farangs and the thai's start to dislike all the westerners...

This may open the eyes of the hookers who dig mainly for japanese or koreans ? ????

good that the minimum service is ok for you....but may not suit all.. as mentioned in the previous post.

But to get full options you need to shell out 10 bucks a month..$

So your sole argument of being credible is per ratio of the number of posts ????? Sorry, but others have a life and do not spend all day just posting to increase the numbers. You assume a lot. Maybe you should consult for paranoia issues. Considering your rude comments towards others, I think nobody is going to take you and your 1000 posts very seriously...

Looks like the US pro-Biden propaganda machine, is on full throttle here. The more people will attack Trump, the more popular he becomes. In Europe many prefer Trump to Biden. Far less economic turmoils under Trump.

Just like the dollar, Europe and the Union are dommed under their current shape. Europe is going down as we are becomming far to docile and patsy with the USA. Many EU nations are already going showing hostility against the will of Washington via Bruxelles !... and are shifting to far right nationalist governance. European people are slowly understanding that the leaders of the Union in Bruxelles are mainly defending American interests, that are not the same interests of the european people.

Would it depend if one is either abroad, in Thailand or in Asia.

Ok send us a pic of the menu and we may believe you. If not, in general view, Tokyo is considered by international evaluations as in the top 5 of the world's most expensive places...

Ok we have a better idea of your status and your budget if you entertain the 60 baht beer bars. So ovbiously you envy indians who can pay more.

Not true. I hate uneducated fools who are broke lonesome drunks, who come to Thailand thinking they are better the the rest when they are not. And the Thai's think same.

wrong,,,,it's you who hates them. You are plainly jealous of them as they are having more and more money and perhaps an indian in your firm got the promotion and you did not maybe. However we doubt anybody would employ a frustrated racist like you inventing stories here. Indians in general can be very good looking like those in bollywood movies and all the ladies who are Miss World or Universe, I prefer an indian lady to a over white skinned farang who looks as if he has a liver problem due to excess drugs that makes the skin far to white.

I find Hua Hin far more costly then Bangkok or Pattaya, with limited choice (food, shopping, sights, transport, services, clean beaches etc).
