  1. The coffee shop business is fraught with pitfalls, but, in that sense, it is no different to

    any other business.

    Put your much younger and attractive wife in a relaxed setting where she can interact with 100's of wealthy foreigners.

    Sounds like a great plan, no different to any other business ...........

    she can assist any foreigner with his desire .. $$$ ... just relax and enjoy ! whistling.gif

  2. Koh Samet used to be a beautiful Island until Thai greed reared it's ugly head. Now it has too many bars and resorts and the last time I went the usual crappy beach activities like Jet skis, parascending, speed boats, countless banana boats etc

    yeah, unfortunately but it's all to do with making $$$. Lets face it ... no one cares who thinks about what anymore ... there is to much greed.

    Now while some folk would prefer the quite and easier not so noisy disco's, jet ski's and bars all night until 3.00am ..... there are others who enjoy this and come just for that.

    I prefer the quieter .......

    but you can't please everyone ... !! blink.png

  3. What has caused the sudden fall in oil price? What effect will this have on the industry? Who will be the winners and who will be the losers?

    I believe this will push renewables into the lime light more .....

    Solar will benefit as panels become cheaper and better ....

    Wind energy use will increase ..

    Biomass will definitely expand with new plants scheduled to open in 2016.

    How will low oil prices promote renewables?

    You have it exactly backwards.

    I don't think the price will stay down forever ! give it a year and it'll be $80-90 I think,

    Then renewables will really come into play ?

  4. Who will be the winners?

    Those people who have socked away the money during the good times and can survive for the next two to three years.

    When oil and gas comes back, there will be a huge shortage of experienced personnel and remuneration for these people will be fantastic.

    It helps if you:-

    Live in a developing country with a low cost of living.

    Don't have a mortgage.

    Don't have children.

    Don't have a high maintenance wife, or are single.

    Rubbish .

    Solar is getting cheaper, why do you think huge solar farms are opening up in Asia, Afica & ME.
