In just the past 40 days 90% less border crossing Now lets dump the millions Joe & Kamala let in

Oh stop 🤣

Bunch of spoiled kids holding their breath 🙄 Hopefully those who voted them into their position are watching how well they are represented & move them out at next election

Newin Chidchob has gotten rich beyond the beyond on all the handouts that has allowed him to get this far. He can dang well host MotoGP on his own & still reap the rewards maybe just a billion or so less each year. Look at what he makes on tickets alone + he has his finger in so many other things there. He can easily go round & get the hotels, restaurants etc to chip in if he really thinks he is skint. This is just a BS way of crying poverty & loss & using govt $$$ to enrich himself

Perhaps you should look NATO has missiles stationed in Poland, Romania, Spain, and Turkey. The missiles are part of NATO's Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system, which is designed to protect NATO's forces, territory, and populations from ballistic missiles Even now the deal most likely to be put forth is Russia returns lands captured & leaves if Ukraine does not join NATO That aside quote from John Quincy Adams was 100% right & applicable here

John Quincy Adams was right She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy,and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force... I hope President Trump pulls the plug on Ukraine. It was always just gas on fire. Let the bleeding hearts of Europe jump in as much as they like. Truth is & always was Putin does not want NATO on his border. USA would act no differently if in the same situation

Except JT & the usual suspects here 555

Talk about Pot/Kettle Black 555 Coming off 4 years of the most toxic misinformation USA has ever known PS: Those of us actually living in the USA are Lovin’ Every Minute of the new transparent Admin ...Thank You 😉

555 your such a funny poster to read daily your fear mongering sky is falling rhetoric Like some of the mods have already said why do you worry so much? What can you change with all of this nonsense? Especially someone like you who have not even lived in the USA for how many decades? Why stress yourself daily in this way? It is not good for your health mental or physical Go outside enjoy life look at the sky eat a nice meal...LIVE while your alive

555 Say's the guy who was calling Hillary & Kamala madame President & telling everyone to get used to it because its a done deal. I guess some folks definition of clueless is different 🤔

To be honest I never thought about that but your probably right. I just thought it was a good video especially calming folks against what he terms tax pimps who should not even be allowed to work in Thailand & probably don't "legally" From the start it was these types fanning the fear mongering flames before anything official is even released

The best video on this whole subject yet!

I wonder if you might just get a International Drivers Permit/License Especially if you also have a license from your home country. They are good for 1 year although I *think* only 90 days continuous? But if your the type that comes & goes may be fine for you Although I am not aware of any type of visa in hand being required you never know with Thailand....

Exactly ! I was always amazed at Thai's in other countries opening Thai restaurants then ripping off their fellow Thai's by employing them at sub min wage etc. This is no different...A bunch of Falangs open a tax business in Thailand & try to rip off other Falangs with fear mongering. At this point this is all it is fear mongering. If & when the RD department ever makes all of this mud clear then these guys should be saying such things

555 As we all know what one Imm office states become a royal decree

That is a pretty funny comment. Yes they cannot really check their own people as most are self employed there is no way to check them. But, to say "how in the hell are they going to monitor expats" ?? Well that is very easy isn't it? Expats actually need to check in with the government & ask for permission to stay. If/When they make this part of that permission well then you will have a decision to make. Comply & prove or leave

It is probably fine either way but......There is an old saying for precious metals that goes.... "IF YOU DON’T HOLD IT THEN YOU DON’T OWN IT" Many reasons why but the original reason for holding metals is many don't trust paper (fiat currency etc etc) so why would someone want a certificate. Secondly many claims of companies that supposedly hold things leasing them out for various reasons. But in your case your using gold as a hedge & trying to beat inflation or better the 2% bank rates so again probably fine for you in any case

Yeah I have really been tossing this scenario around a lot lately. While the rent income would be nice... these days you need to factor in as you say possibly a management company fee, then the increased property taxes since it is no longer your primary residence but a rental. This in our case can be 10x as much property taxes per year compared to what we pay now. Which would basically kill 2 months rental income. Lastly the increased homeowner insurance because it goes up as landlord insurance vs primary homeowner insurance. As you say could sell & invest. I have looked into the US Treasury Notes for a term of 2, 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. Safe & at the end of the day at current 4.25% rates the interest on home sale would not be much different than rental income after expenses + zero headache. Of course there is no guarantee for rates in the future but you can lock in 10 years worth on the notes

Perhaps you should write your congressman or senator ? Oh wait you don't have one as you don't live in the USA nor have you lived there in decades right? Yet you want to decide how the cake that you need not eat is baked right? You want to decide what the families of the murdered victims should be happy/protected with right? Lastly about your protected by life imprisonment comment...how about you put your money where you situational ethics are & donate your SS to help pay for the life incarcerations of these murderers? Yeah didn't think so.....next

They go even further now with things like this app someone developed to track politicians stock trades. https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy Pelosi-P000197

You know it is funny but so many actually believe this. 😉

Mainly the safety nets given to you as a Aus citizen If you were really injured in Australia you would be treated at any ER In Thailand you will need to show how you will pay BEFORE any real operations are done. They will stabilize you at a govt hospital while you arrange your Go Fund Me & deteriorate There are many SHTF scenarios where you would survive in your home country & not elsewhere I am not saying you can't go live anywhere on your 900AUD/20k baht per month I am just saying reality can bite. It hurts a bit less where you have citizenship because they usually do take care of their own

It is funny...They will only let us cycle up Doi Inthanon but if we cycle down it is a 1000 baht fine...They want us to get in one of these vans or the red trucks instead as it is safer??? They should tell the silver van drivers THEY have to walk down or catch a red truck & let a tow truck take their vans down 🤣

Meanwhile back on planet earth..... Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where they held a "very productive meeting."

Spoken by a lefty that is either deaf dumb & blind or has not lived in the USA for at least 4 years
