there are less investment vehicles for thai people than we have back home. back home, people dump their money in the stock market, mutual funds, index funds and etf's etc that let us easily invest in foreign markets, but what do the thais have besides the SET?
thai banks give very lousy interest rates? keep the money in the bank getting 3% or buy a condo and rent it out and get 4.5%... that is what it comes down to... price:rent ratio is not very good for condo owner in bkk for this reason.

you have to be certain that the farang familes who come here go home saying
"it was great except the tuk tuk always ripped us off and there are too many creepy old guys walking around with young girls".
Thailand has an image in the West that it will have to work hard to shed, if its even possible.

In the other thread: Your quote " I asked my girl friend what Thai people thought when they see a 55 year old farang and a 20 year old Thai women. She said that she thinks the following" unquote
Now you have a wife ?
Like I say, a rank bleedin' amatuer.

I am looking to purchase a condominium in either Bangkok or Phuket. My budget is 16 million baht. Most of the condominiums I have been eyeing in Bangkok go for around 100k baht per square meter. What would the costs be for Grade A in Phuket?
Do you think Bangkok is going to be swallowed by the sea? Which condominium will be appreciate faster?

He probably wrote down your passport number and they are going to hit you up on your weigh out and split the money for a night on the town. why are farang always trying to find a way to skirt the law?

one of the weird things living for Thailand for me is how highly regarded the Thai Chinese are. My wife is Thai Chinese and I will often recieve acknowledgment of this fact from even Isaan and Southern Thais. They look at us and with a sort of mystified expression comment that I am a farang and that my wife isn't 'see dam'. My wife was confused, until I explained to her that most farang perfer Isaan women. Number one, why do Thai people think Thai Chinese are better than other Thais? Number two, is your Thai partner Thai Chinese, and if so, have you experienced this sort of thing?

even in the USA, it would be hard to press charges against him. whether he was initially in shock or he purposely murdered these people is unprovable. you need motive, and even if he was upset, it is hard to believe that he intentionally killed these people. Does he have a history of this type of severe reckless violence? No, but he does have a medical history. he should not have been given a license, that is the true crime.
in the USA, with a good lawyer, he is not going to jail.

Im still confused about something, if it is acceptable for 60 year old men to parade around with 19 year old girl friends, then why dont I ever see any Thai males doing the same thing? Is it only acceptable in Thai Culture for farang to act in such a manner?

I once saw a photo of an elephant kneeling before The King. Does anyone know where I can find this photo online or in Bangkok? Thank you

these large age gap couples and what Thai people in general think.
You already know, cos your GF told you, why contradict yourself ?
In reality, do you actually have a Girlfriend at all?
Because I have never known any Thais that will judge people the way you say your girlfriend does, why would they, it's not their business.
You are saying that she actually bothers to question the relationships of others, when she herself is walking round with a Farang?
<deleted>.

Nice try Maigo, Id respond but its almost 9pm and I imagine that they will be putting you to bed soon.

I asked my girl friend what Thai people thought when they see a 55 year old farang and a 20 year old Thai women. She said that she thinks the following:
Did her parents sell her to him?
Does she really love him?
Does he really love her?
And that she believes most Thai people would have the same reaction as her. And I must have opened a door to rag on farangs because she then said
The worst is when farang wear jetukram necklaces. Do they even know what it means? Did their wife just buy it for them? Jetukram is very silly and they look very silly.
FWIW, She has had very limited contact with farangs besides myself.
I would honestly be very interested in what people from Isaan think about when they see these large age gap couples and what Thai people in general think.

a. start construction company
b. pay workers from poor province 200 baht a day for manual labor
c. profit
labor is so cheap in thailand that makes it very easy to make a profitable business.

some people like spending more money. it makes them feel like they are getting something special. guy brings his bmw into the shop. if a guy quotes a low figure, he must be an amatuer. if he quotes an exhorbiant figure, he must be a top notch specialist.
someone is paying this price, so that is the market value my friend.
