where is that pls? I looked on google but said it had closed down some years ago?

I am in Bangkok for a couple of months work and am looking for a gym (preferably Sukhumvit area) that has decent stationary bikes/systems like peloton or swift to keep up my cycling fitness whilst here. can anyone recommend somewhere? somewhere between asoke and ekamai would be ideal. thanks!

Anyone applied for one recently, I just started an application but it only offers me a single (rather than multiple) entry. I noticed the LTR also but I don't have 1 million or 80k a year. I have been out of touch for a while so not quite sure what is best anymore for someone who comes for two x 2.5 month visit a year? Last year I had a non 0 multiple. Any help appreciated

Its bye from me as I fly tomorrow, be safe everyone. To the crypto haters ... Theres a lot of tropes being used which are not true but you are right to question the validity of crypto, the crypto lovers should also question it more. You may also need to question the validity of our current financial systems more? To the crypto supporters .... a lot of tropes also being used, you may believe in crypto but you may need to question your belief a little more? To those sat in the middle .... I am sat with you, I actively invest but I am a born sceptic. I don't claim to be anything more than an enthusiastic gambler trying to make a hedged bet on the future. I hope nobody has serious losses and that includes myself :+)

Sadly (IMHO) there is a distinct correlation with the charts on both. But I am not a chartist :+)

I sold my condo a month ago in central Bangkok. I was told by many that selling them was nigh on impossible. I had about 4 viewings a week and first offer was within two weeks of listing. There are lots of young Thai couples buying in central Bangkok based on my experience. When the Chinese come back I think it will seriously hot up but for the new units that are coming online. If I were to return I would rent but if you are looking at a home for multiple years (say 10) buying makes sense.

Total MKT cap just hit 1.15 trillion and still falling. 10% loss this morning alone. BTC just nudged 26500

Anyone know this? If you have some big things to dispose of like a washing machine in Bangkok, how do you do it? Is there an official dump or a collection?

I bought a small bit this morning at 1.08. Figure must be worth a gamble. I only bought a t tiny bit though.

Don't you just hate supermarkets like Tops when. they sell UK boxed stuff at say 300 baht and on the box in English it says 3 for a pound? I do, drives me nuts.

Well well well. Crypto markets capitalised at 2.5 trillion 6 months ago and this morning it was half that, having lost 1.25 trillion USD value in six months. Luna, a poster child of crypto influencers esp on YouTube has lost 99% of it value in 5 days! Yes five days ago it was 100 USD n this morning its 1 USD. Bitcoin is 29k but was 69k six months ago. Is it over? Or is the beginning of something? Is it broke? Are you broke? Are you smiling the I told you so smile :+) (PS this is prob my last post thread as I leave Thailand for UK then Greece at the Weekend and don't anticipate a return)

Bitcoin down now at 30k, cryptos have tanked this last few days. Many think its because of the Luna stable coin crash. Would not want to be holding Luna a right now, crashed 85% since May 5.

Inflation caused by money printing. The US, UK and EU have printed masses of money and thats causing inflation and a probable recession looming. The weird one is that the US market is so large that the fear of inflation/recession is causing a run TO the dollar away from stocks, futures, etc. A massive run at the moment, and thats causing the dollar to strengthen massively while markets crash. This is of course counter intuitive because inflation weakens the spending power of the dollar at home. The baht is actually weakening and has been for some time BUT I personally expect that to change rapidly once the US announces a peak is reached in inflation because the money will then run from the dollar to other holdings. Tonight is CPI day in the US, watch for big changes in the dollar depending if thats above or below 8.1%. One could argue that baht currency movements are not as direct result of whatever Thailand does but what other currencies do.

Just buy a fan, thats all an EC will do in this environment.

But who wants them with such a mediocre THC? Good for making rope I suppose.
