He might have lent them money against property as a guarantee. Payment time has expired now the property is his and the lender isn’t happy. Happens everyday in Thailand.

Try Bloomberg

Since he took office it is down 5%. Mostly since he implemented his tariff/tax policy that he didn’t detail before taking office. Ad which seems to change daily.

Auto spelled. i think you knew that though. Take it easing.

QE causes inflation. Most MAGAs don’t realize that so I am surprised you have no idea.

If you tax all imports of course it will cause inflation. Just like all the quantitive easy under Trump caused inflation last time.

Can I recommend you switch over to Fox News. They are still on about him daily. Trump was claiming credit. It didn’t last long and is down 5% since he took office. Give it a couple of months, the tariff taxes have only just been applied.

Thank god for that. White privilege continues.

Every consumer will paying more for goods that America doesn’t make and imports. The dopey Americans voted for higher taxes. Most of them haven’t realized yet, it will take about a year and they will all start complaining about higher prices. Trump has already performed a double backflip, first postponing for 90 days and now exempting some electrical goods. And of course investors are all poorer, Dow down about 5% since he took over. Musk is also poorer.

You breathed it all in already.

I blame Brexit

The USA is a democracy. The idiots voted for Trump not once, but twice. So they deserve him and are apparently happy with him despite being poorer with less services. That he is a fraudster, a sexual pest, liar and a cheater does not worry Americans. They love it. The USA is always in wars, better for everyone else if they turn on themselves more as they did when he lost against Biden.

No, it is preferable. Some of us like to whine and be a “victim” though.

Gee everyone has gone soft and will complain about anything these days. People just look to be outraged. Next they will be on “mental health” leave because they felt “demonized”. Gawd.

If the Republican shooter had of just aimed a little more to the right the world would be a different place and arguably much better. He has made a great mess of the last three months. Lets hope he gets some good advice and can improve things.

I knew I had forgotten some 6.

Big week for us Brits in Thailand even by our low standards. 1. Knife wielding Thalang Brit pushing Thai kids off bikes. 2. The dopey Brit playing Russian roulette by himself. 3. The road rager hitting the thai van driver. 4. The Pattaya slapper. 5. Above. Thats just the reported cases. Did I forget any? Hard to keep up these days. I would like to remind our fellow countrymen that we are guests in this country and this constant news worthy trouble making is starting to annoy our hosts which will not be good for any of us. It is being reported on every thai news channel. Looking forward to next week.

https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2025/04/11/british-mastermind-in-cannabis-trafficking-case-arrested-in-bangkok/ One of the primary suspects, Mr. Adel, 30, was arrested on April 10. He allegedly played a crucial role in the operation by securing accommodations to hide cannabis-filled bags and coordinating foreign couriers who transported the drugs out of the country. Following the arrests of several network members, Adel fled Koh Samui and was hiding in a luxury condominium in central Bangkok

Thanks for that explanation. Good news and likely to happen. Things will get violent again though, those MAGA morons don’t accept losing.

They had better suck it up. another 3.5 years at least. Dumb as rocks.

Thais are always nagging me to shower more. It is a bit annoying

Have to say in Thailand I would rate it 1. Israelis 2. Brits 3 Russians A few Chinese crims about but the are not really “tourists”. We Brits brought Israel into existence which is warring currently. Russia is a attacking another country in a war currently. How much more peaceful would the world be without the Israelis, Brits and Russians?
