    I was just looking at a condo today, built in 1991, 25 years old. Nice gardens and pool, buildings not run down. Condos in the complex are selling for 1-2 million.

    I would imagine they were 200, 000 when new.

     

    I'm not saying it can't happen but for every one like you describe there's many that ARNT like that.

     

    are you sure they were 200,000 baht, 25 years ago?

     

    doesnt sound right to me.

    I suggest the OP send a message to JingThing. 

    He has alot of experience in Thailand and I think he is a gay man. 

    He might have heard of this type of hustle...IF it is a hustle.

    Maybe its just an honest Thai male who has enough financial security to take a risk for a chance at a good relationship.

    Nice one, thanks! Something else I didn't say (not intentionally) is the reason I'm thinking about all this is so I can have some sort of retirement plan, so that I can have passive income later on and not worry about having to work all the time. I can keep saving money and not buy property, since I currently put my money into a slow growth index fund, but I'm not sure if that's the right way.

    May I ask your age ?

    Are you expecting to buy 1.5 m baht property

    and expecting it to still be worth something in 25 years time?

    go look at some old broken down 25y.o condos and see what they're renting for.

     

    maintance is terrible here on older buildings sand there's a constant flow of newer modern buildings.

    Is that supposed to be funny? The second amendment allows us to have guns, gunning someone down is illegal. 

    Are you sure?

    im fairly certain one situation leads to an increase in the other but no doubt your going to tell me, the way to solve this problem is by handing more guns out.

     

    if every man, woman, child and pet dog carried an ak47 and a few clips, the problem would eliminate itself?

    That's the big question, isn't it? I'm sure his tax return would contain many interesting things.

    How pathetic is it that a man (well, sort of) who led a campaign that demanded President Obama make public his birth certificate refuses to make public his tax return!!!

    If Donald made president he could give George W Bush Jnr a run for his money in the stupidity stakes.

     

    hes a douchebag, no doubt about it.

    Sure, I'll talk about gun control. First, unless you are an American, it makes no difference what you say or think. Second, something you who do not have the right to own a gun don't seem to understand; gun ownership is one of our American rights, guaranteed by our Constitution. Americans; therefore, are unwilling to lose one of their rights. Perhaps more importantly, if the majority of the American people wanted more gun control, there would be. In fact, the states which have the worst death rates by guns have stronger gun control laws.  The second amendment to our Constitution—which guarantees gun possession—can be repealed; there is a mechanism in place to repeal any amendment to the Constitution, if there is enough support to do so.  To date, there has never been enough support.

     

    Do I think there should be more gun control; yes, I do. I would not only control the sale and ownership of guns, but I would control the purchase and possession of ammunition. Certainly, anyone with criminal, psychiatric or politically-aggressive behavioral history should be denied the right to purchase or  possess guns or ammunition and surely there should be a waiting period to help dissuade impetuous actions, but that won't cover everyone with devious agenda. However, in a country with so many guns that no one has an accurate accounting—most likely, there are more guns than people—guns cannot simply be taken away and guns will always be available, even if control is tightened drastically. Consequently, there is no simple solution.

     

    However, the gun-supporters’ undertone argument may have merit. The argument goes something like this: It seems the majority of gun deaths in the US are suicides; and the majority of the gun death homicides are committed during crimes and/or involve the lower socio-economic classes.  Those minority gun-related homicides which involve middle- and upper-class Americans, are simply collateral damage in the overall plan to cull the dregs of society. 

     

         

    The second amendment allows for American Citizens to be gunned down randomly as they go about remedial daily tasks.

     

    what a fantastic piece of freedom, if only the rest of the world were so lucky!

     

    woooot wooooot

    trump ... just plain crazy?

    Yes. Absolutely.

    Americans may be slow ... but they've had lots of time to digest this. I can't see them electing a wildly INSANE man to the most powerful office on the planet. Or  maybe they will ... national death wish or something. We've seen other nations going down that hole.

    Yes, he behaves like a madman, end of story.  

    Surely even if he did some how win, they wouldn't give this moron keys to nuclear weapons would they?

     

    the mind boggles .

    Sorry you're so cynical that you think there are no Americans qualified for chief exec.  Besides HRC and Sanders, there are many others.   Just because one large political party picked a moron, doesn't mean the other party's pick is of the same ilk.   If you want to get a refreshingly liberal spin on the current political circus, tune in to any of the talk shows on Youtube, or (one of my faves) the 'Young Turks.'

    Don't despair, HRC will win in Nov and the US will lope along as well as can be reasonably expected.  It's a flawed ship.  There are leaks, rusty spots, dirty grease on the deck, nut cases in the hull, but the USS US will sail on.  Just one of a plethora of challenges the US faces is opioid addiction - both pharma and street-supplied.   BIG PROBLEM.   If Russia wants to see many Americans self destruct, all they have to do is grab a box of popcorn, sit back, and watch great swaths of Americans go to Hades in handbaskets.   It also sucks mega amounts of money and human resources - almost more than Trump, with the many handouts he receives from government grants and non-payment of loans and non-payment of worker's wages - while he cheats/avoids paying taxes.  Indeed, that's why he desperately wants his tax statements to remain hidden forever.

     

    Mate, I wouldn't be as bold to suggest that, I should choose my words more carefully.

     

    I dont think either Clinton or trump are suitable for the position, that is where I stand.

     

    i fear, one of these two imbeciles is going to land the job.

     

    now if only the American system wasn't so corrupted in the sense that money seems to really control how far along folk get with their campaign.  I have no doubt there's some excellent people from the states who could smash the job, only problem is........where are they, why arnt they at the front of this.

     

    Do you think Sanders can get there from here?

     

    id personally would love to see a fantastic American president.......ITS LONG LONG OVERDUE!

  9. Really a lot of folk just do a disservice to their people by leaving their own country.

    Passports should only be issued to folk who can pass certain basic tests.  Most of the quality tourists that lob in LOS would be flat out printing their names in the appropriate place on the test yet alone passing the exam.

    I could care less what Russia thinks of our politicians, but I do agree with them about Hillary in general terms. She is not to be trusted - by ANYONE.

    You might say so old dad, but the fact is the world could possibly feel like you do about both the front running morons.  It effects the way the world does business with the USA.  Let's face it, it's already a daily struggle.  The USA and the world needs a competent leader for the states and presently it's obvious there's just simply nobody for the job.

    For a while now, the good folks of the USA have been on a downwards slide and it looks like either which way the vote goes you could be swimming in the dung at the bottom of the slide.

    It looks like there's no hope from here forward.  RIP USA.
