It hasn't in Germany! Also, take inflation and rising prices for just about everything into account and your buying power has nowhere near increased 2.4 times.

Yeah, it's probably not going to be that easy. It's doable, though.

Someone else just replied to me. He said the minimum age is 20 and you must have been paying income tax for at least three years. That's definitely doable. I would totally go for it as soon as it is possible. Kudos to your little one for his Thai skills! 😶

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that.

Foreigners can definitely apply for Thai citizenship. A friend of mine who’s from Ireland has got it about 2 years ago now. He’s been living and working in Thailand since 2002 continuously. It’s definitely worth looking into it. Does your son go to a Thai school and speaks fluently Thai or does he go to an international school? He would definitely have to prove that he can speak some Thai. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but good enough that you can answer some questions about yourself when they interview you as part of the application process. I think they grant 100 citizenships per year per nationality, or something along those lines.

Admins. Please delete this post of mine.

That’s 175 billion down the drain! Obviously he can’t see that!

It’s next to impossible to get heroin these days in the west. After the Americans left Afghanistan, which used to produce 90% of the world’s annual heroin, the country went back into the hands of the Taliban. Since they wanted to get some recognition from the western countries, they gave in to the west’s demand to destroy the poppy fields. So they got rid of almost all of them, which is why the Chinese and Mexican cartels then jumped in to fill the void, and that’s why you have that massive fentanyl epidemic in the USA and Canada now, that’s been ravaging these countries for the past 7 years. Fentanyl is way worse than heroin, because the so-called therapeutic window, the difference between the dosage needed to get the medical effect and the dosage that kills you, is much smaller than then the therapeutic window of heroin. A tiny bit too much and you die. They would’ve been much better of with leaving the heroin in place, than replacing it with fentanyl.

China White is indeed heroin and as the name implies, it is white and is produced in Asia, as opposed to the light brown color heroin normally has. I think in Asia they refine it one more step and that’s why it turns white, but I’m a bit foggy on the details. It’s also way less common than the brown variant, even during the golden age of H.

Is it really her money or is it yours? If it is hers, you can probably go to a Thai consulate near you in your country and sign it right there and then in front of them. If it is your money, then I wouldn't sign it because you'll never see that money again, since you've signed a waiver.

Not only has coke a different color than coke, unless it was China White, but it also tastes completely different. A little taste beforehand goes a looooong way.

while it might not be unique, you’re clearly the minority here.

Ok. Good for you! You're not the gold standard, though.

Not really! No one I inow had their salary doubled over the past 20 years!

Did it double for everyone else, too?

Yes, but he’s clearly not normal.

Well, when I moved there in 2003 one Euro was 54 Baht. Now one Euro is only 37 Baht. So that alone is already a loss of 32% of buying power. And the days where you could get a full meal on the street for 20 to 25 Baht are well over as well. Rent is much more expensive, too. A friend of mine from back then just recently moved back to Thailand and he said prices went up quite a bit for a lot of things. Is it expensive in comparison to the west? Probably not, but it's definitely more expensive than it used to be.

I'm not disputing that, but going through puberty could definitely have made t worse.

Because during puberty hormones are raging, especially testosterone. Aggression can be a common side effect of too much testosterone. In the bodybuikding world its known as roid rage. Obviously there's more to it than just that because a kid at that age normally doesn't resort to stabbing someone with a 10 inch blade.

Oh please! Buying rice above market price was ALWAYS gping to incur a loss! Duh! How was that in any way, shape or form not forseeable?!

Well, she's had Serbian citizenship since 2019. She's not gonna come back and she'll never pay the fine!

From 2008 to 2012 you could've made a lot of money with gold because the banks flooded the market with gold shares every Friday evening right before the exchange closed down in order to combat the rising gold price. Of course it went right back up the following Monday. The good old days. But even the people who bought it at the highest price right before the end of the financial crisis, after which the price dropped, are well in the black numbers now, if they held on to it.

I'm from Germany and it doesn't matter who's running the country here. You can buy real estate with no worries whatsoever.

This article is so misleading. You don’t just become transsexual because you want to “find your identity”, if you aren’t transsexual, unless you’re an attention seeking poser, just like no straight person ever becomes guy over night.

Gold is a long term investment and in my opinion much safer than anything else, apart from real estate maybe.
