Middle Aged Grouch

Few years ago it was around 30 euros to have a great quality shirt tailored by shops near Nana BTS Bangkok. As the chaps are now asking for 45 euros, no way I will give them my business.

Don't forget to include the engine this time....but that seems to fit the Thai style of business....they will sell you a car here and come later claiming the steering wheel was not included. Just like some farang house developpers in Hua Hin who will sell you and lease the land for the pool villa, accept your absurd requests and only once all is paid, will show up and say that it was not compatible and of course no refund.

The populations in many european nations are getting fed up by this war, fuelled by the US and Russia, that is costing trillions to the western nations and of course making as much money and profit to many global players in oil, arms, food, transport etc. Consequently, this is more an investment for the involved, rather then a war. To some extent, even Russia is making money from the global crisis created by the US and their sanctions.

In Thailand never buy...always rent. Mainly with real estate or ladies. Or else at one's own risk to learn the hard way, once it's too late.

Considering the billions the world is handing out to highly corrupt Ukraine, this amount given for the civilian victims in Libya is an insult.

It may rain but it is far better to come to Thailand from March to September as there are far less tourists and thus the locals serve you better in stores, restaurants and the shops are a bit more open to give you a good deal.

Very true. As mentioned before, many house owners from Europe, the UK, the US who have not declared their real estate in Thailand are going to be in some serious hot soup......mainly in France and the USA amongst others, that have merciless and ruthless tax laws for their commoners....

People just forget that major European electric vehicle brands or even a Benz, Audi and of course the Tesla, is strongly dependant on chinese components. The Covid showed the world that it is just not possible for the moment to shut down ties with China, no matter what the mummy in power at the White house or the other clowns in European nations may claim or may howl.

1 US$ should give at least 41 THB

Sure but in fact there is already a freeze in the real estate market as nobody is currently buying. This may also be due to some crooked farang developpers who deliver badly finished condos or villas, in beach towns catering foreigners like Hua Hin, Phuket, Pattaya or within all the Koh's... ! In today's world, information can globally spread like wildfire on social media with a simple click behind a computer, sent from a foreign country, regarding the incompetence in badly finished houses or condos that the crooked local or farang developpers sell off to naive foreigners.

Cannot say on this specific case... On a general view, only a fool or a liar would claim that the red tape or bureaucracy say with immigration or administrative issues are simple and transparent in Thailand.

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.

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 !

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.

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...

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.
