  1. Knew a few S. Africans in Thailand. Some would tell me not only that white farmers are getting murdered, but the way was barbaric. Dismembering, rape, Vlad the Impaler stuff/Hanibal Lector stuff, really sick.....now, of course, maybe these guys made it up or stretched the truth and I'm sure they weren't there. Did a quick Google search, can't really find anything.......anyhow, they were pretty worked up over it.
  2. Pretty hilarious you get insider trading (legal with meme coins if you are the President), making foreigners big, big, big money while the red hat clowns lose it all. That's really funny. Billy in Oklahoma loses 50k while the sheik makes 6 million and gets to go to a dinner party. This is exactly what you do when you get power. Give others all this free money to actually give you more power. I couldn't do it, and for decades this would be un-Christian, illegal, unheard of in the halls of Yale (maybe not Bush's Yale), but now it's almost expected from Trump. Too bad I was #251. Lost 329,397 but I got a free T-shirt
  3. There's gotta be some IF's. During the day, not the sexpat places, 100% better than the West. 1000% At night, around guys drinking (Thai or Farangs), it's uncomfortable. My ex's all tell me how their old Thai bfs were after they drank. I was near Laos, so maybe more than just drinking, who knows? But things do get crazy, and I think that's everywhere. In general, 100% better. almost zero theft outside the big cities, maybe only 1-2 a year, you get a strange sense...and nothing happens. again, I'm not a female and I don't usually go out after 10... lol But I do think this list is accurate, which is super rare.
  4. 30% seems optimistic. The only good thing (for LOS) is that when they come back they can come back in the zillions, and fast. Just let China build some railroads all through the country. Also figure out what they are doing with the water.......those dams up north are troublesome. China Mai and China Rai hopefully not in our lifetimes
  5. I signed up, but won't use it. I do the old-fashioned wire transfer. If it's a weekly or monthly thing, maybe I'll have to find a better way. it seems like Wise is not that way.
  6. always a fear in a foreign country. nationalize. bank accounts, frozen. not many will cry for us.... look, they warned you about a coup and you didn't prepare Plan B. Plan B is Pattaya!!! Oh, doomed. Bug-out bag and crypto on a USB or cold storage or whatever I have no idea......lol...... Plan C, learn about crypto.
  7. if somebody in the west walks in, grabs a bottle, is in the kitchen, and then pours it all into some cooking pot.....oh, that might be a problem. i think it would be a story. if in America and they are forced to throw out the food and sanitize the kitchen, that's 5 million USD. yea, this guy has a few screws loose and should get on TV.
  8. If you are over 40, maybe. over 50, probably. over 60, yes. under 40, no. under 30, laughable no. near 20, a hard no. Let me guess, she looks 18 and 0 days old. never dated a farang before. lol 30,000 is old school. I'd consider 40,000, weekly, since her grandfather, uncle and mom's buffalo just got sick. very sick.
  9. surprised, especially since I thought we would all have the REAL information before the big players. i figured we were all both economists, politicians, soverign funds, and more!!! trying to predict these things are impossible. giving reasons for them are even more useless, since that's old news and might have zero bearing on the future. 30-36 is likely just a lot of noise, but buy my book to get the information insiders don't want you to know!!! I can predict the Thai Bath/Baht to the nearest satang for the next 3938 years. lol. oh wait, did you see what the largest bank of XASFADSFAD just did three minutes ago??? wow, I did.
  10. wakes up, coffee, few yes-men sitting around, turns on TV...........Harvard. Hmmmm..... Changes the channel, Is globalization dead? Thinks, finishes coffee..... adrenaline, dopamine spike... this is good stuff. really funny to watch humans be human. I'm sure it's way worse in Burma, China, Russia, etc............anyhow. my prediction......it will take about a year for all the big players to unwind and de-leverage a lot......then the rug will get pulled, collapse, panic, and this should go on for a few years..... then Trump reverses everything, big players back in, just in time for the next election.
  11. I wonder if they all agree on 9 and then someone says, "Hey, let's make it a nice round number....10!!!!" what's a billion between friends.
  12. had a great time in Vietnam for a few weeks. great food, pretty hot, pretty women, fun, interesting country. But it's exhausting. Everything about it is exhausting. Maybe I'll try again. Thailand can be very non-exhausting or exhausting. up to you.
  13. Soon, Baht parity with the dollar. yes, 1:1. Oh, no, gloom and doom!!! OK, 60 Baht to 1 dollar, then gloom and doom in Thailand. We live here, not there, but we all have USD. Hmmm.... Now, the GDP of America is like 20 Trillion USD (not sure, but it's a lot and it's a MAGNITUDE higher than 99% of other countries). If America gets sick, most countries die. not get sick, die. We've seen it. Then America swoops in, buys distressed debt, owns them. For many, many decades I've read all this stuff......it's all relative. If the 1000 billion ton Elephant gets sick and falls on some ant......lol Real estate up 100% in like a decade. Stock market up like 100% or more. sure, food up. jobs paying more, but not enough. this is not a sick Elephant, yet... and if the Dow goes down 20%, USA will be Wuhan times 100. lol the gloom and doomers are the jealous ones.......the ones that want the Earth to explode. Sun die. prob. loved Covid. the ones who told their friends they are the dumbest person in the world for buying that house for $59k as they run off to LOS to escape the man. The house is now 4.5 million and still the gloom and doom is coming for them. lol
  14. use my water filtration gadget and can drink anything..... free walking street at closing, buy 100 baht in rice for only 95 baht, enough for 1 week act like a guest in certain hotels, free coffee. free bags of eggs near train station, 20 baht, good for a week. share a 2500 a month room with 5 of my mates. oh, but then I hit the go-go bars all weekend..... 20,000. Let's Go!!!! yea, you can save in some things; however, in the end it really all averages out. After a decade, it's always the same: 30k a month for the cheap life, 60k to enjoy something, do stuff, and buy some things, and then you have some investments or big purchases or a girlfriend and... yeah. maybe one month you think you really saved like a monk....just wait. sent from my iPhone29MAX after eating a bowl of rice.
  15. ALL socials under a fake name and fake everything. I'm sure if you are super crazy, they will track you down, but it's still a good, safe policy. Zero posts on FB in 10 years. Zero posts on the 'gram in 10 years..... YT stuff is never about Thailand. I won't review a place online, no matter what, unless 5 stars. These are simply the rules/laws we agreed to.......and nobody bothers us and we can rent rooms and eat eggs without going broke, and chill and relax and do nothing for super cheap.... If you are an Alpha, Sigma, want to poke the bull...... FINE. As they say in LOS.................. Up to You
  16. I understand your frustration and you should only do what's convenient to you. Throw that license out the window, it is causing too much harm. Either 1. Get another one and see, or 2. Talk to someone who can actually help you in your travels. my name is Dun Dun so I really never know what they did. ah, ha!!!!! Change your first name to your last name.
  17. I hang out in libraries and it seems like EVERYONE reads books!!!!!! Wow, I am amazed how popular books are!!!!! I also heard there are eBook readers and we don't even know if people are reading at home or not!!! amazing.... I don't drink. Do people still drink beer? Seems like a dying pastime. I then go to McD's and it's soo busy..... wow, everyone loves it soo much!!!! It seems like nobody eats healthy anymore... I could do this all day...
  18. I've been here long enough to share some insight, and I'll be as honest as possible and it might sound terrible. sorry in advance. women I can fall in love with. cry. feel deep emotions. truly care about. protect. help. be there. ladyboys. nut. bust.
  19. Take 1 and multiply it by 1 (OK, I lost half the chat), then add infinity and cube it....then take all the matter in the universe and double it every nanosecond for the next 19 trillion years and add the values together. not sure what a plodder and a plonker is but OK matey bloke I'm just taking a piss you wonker <deleted>. this is some ancient form of English, I presume.
  20. bro, I hear ya!!!!!! This gets me soooooooooooooooooo mad!!!!! More mad than anything else in the world!!!! Once I met a lady and a guy sent her money and....oh, I couldn't listen to it anymore....I ran away. People sending money, that's soo crazy what has this world come to. Massage ladies....did you check her qualifications? Once I saw a farang go into a massage shop and very happy after....oh, that's not nearly as bad as this farang who sent money to this other person!!!!! Now I hope you tipped 10,000 baht. If not, she will forget about you. Money talks, everything else ends up on a thread blah blah blah blah moved to pub.
  21. America has about 350 million people plus another 100 million who knows...lol. Let's say that 10 percent are fit. 1 percent are amazingly fit. That's enough for any country. fattest and maybe the fittest. that's OK. richest, but not the poorest. and Florida. 100 million nutjobs. Thailand doesn't have the same luxury of letting too many going fat. as far as hotties.....at least a few million. i only need a few hundred thousand.
  22. It's 9:21 and I'm on my 21st beer in Pattaya at a bar with 10 of my gf's who love me very much and tell me how hansum I am.....this is pure bliss. greatest life ever. mecca. top of the world!!!! now discuss.
  23. I've been in an LBTGQURSTEISE+++++$$#@#@#@Q!@@# establishment for the last 293 hours straight, and we all agree hetero is not natural, against nature, demonic, ungodly, deviant, soulless, destructive and universe-ending. I will identify as a pregnant person and humanity will continue. I will say this is not even the beginning, we are in the NINTH inning. Two strikes and three balls.... hahhaahahahahaha.
