  1. This browser check is getting really annoying now If this forum needs this then perhaps its just too much trouble to visit anymore You folks really need to get it together
  2. 555 Oh yes where do we sign? ???? Are these guys insane? Invest 1.1 MILLION US Dollars in this xx ruled country and maybe in 3 years they can own some Thai dirt hahahah Really that is pretty funny! Imagine investing 1.1 Million USD in the USA real estate market & what that will be worth in 3 years Now imagine 1.1 million invested in Thailand in 3 years what will be left? Tell you what Thai govt...come to the USA we will let you buy land today! That is how we roll
  3. Only if your too lazy to get it yourself ???? And perhaps Yes if wanting to exist at 3rd world prices your best off staying in 3rd world/developing countries But... Those that want to come home to the USA come on it is fine. If you need to work to make your smaller SS check enough or do not have savings investments the wages paid to those who want to live here are quite excellent well above minimum wages If you are truly incapable of work/impaired there are tons of benefits afforded to you that you will never see outside of your home country But yes for those who have never set foot in the USA in decades or who only get their sensationalized news from MSM etc yes they better not come as they never really wanted to & are just fear mongering others into their misery Folks making it here have boots on the ground & use them to find great deals, jobs etc everywhere For the expats that really want to return to their home country whether USA or Europe etc dont be too concerned with the chicken little's that constantly cry the sky is falling as again they actually have not been under these skies in decades. ????
  4. Its too bad cannot you use Wise I sent on June 22th 2022 rate was 35.33 fee $6.14 July 3rd 2022 rate 35.6 fee $8.20 (wise rates went up) But money was transferred from my US bank to Thailand in 4 second
  5. Actually you may have noticed...some posters are just totally anti-USA everything They have something bad to say in almost every US topic posted & there are many Yet folks who actually live in the USA like you & I we are of course all wrong & not "on topic" according to their limited view But again it is good that folks like yourself do post because in fact there are legitimate expats that want to know the truth about moving back from folks with factual experience in the USA. Unlike info from folks who have not been in the USA in decades & get all their sensationalized truths from the MSM
  6. They should allow the parents of the boy to beat this piece of xxx to death with the same stick that killed their son
  7. I am in the same boat as you except my Thai DL was a 5 year version But like you being out for Covid caused mine to expire I am not sure what the procedure will be but, If you think back as I do originally I had must my US license & a international permit when I went for my first Thai license & did not need any written test In fact because I had a US car & motorcycle license at that time they gave me Thai car & also a bike license I think your agent is right because if you apply with a valid foreign license & international permit your only made to take the short reaction test & vision at the counter Post what you find when you do yours ????
  8. This Anutin must love the taste of his feet as he always has his foot in his mouth ???? Dear Mr Anutin please try to realize Thailand is nothing close to a LV outlet except for copies Thailand is closer to a McDonald's, so if you must make a comparison imagine McDonald's trying to sell their burgers for $10-$20 each you think that would pull more customers do you? Ok back to your previous employment of chucking concrete ????
  9. what is ironic/funny is that really those lacking any understanding of bitcoin are probably the owners of bitcoin/Tulips themselves ????
  10. 555 yeah right...The classic I have a secret your not young enough...tech enough...yada yada yada enough to understand. Yet as others have said you could not lift their shoelaces in comparing your claimed financial knowledge to their actual financial success Anyway carry on with your high tech version of Tulip Mania ????
  11. This is a very good video of only 35 minutes It speaks to why this is happening (inflation) devalued currency etc It even has something JT might like because he also speaks of a high possibility of civil war in the USA as well as world war Dont mind the sensationalized title it is not a doom & gloom video But give it a listen if you have the time & dont miss the last 5 minutes too ???? About Ray Dalio Raymond Thomas Dalio is an American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager, who has served as co-chief investment officer of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, since 1985. He founded Bridgewater in 1975 in New York
  12. For sure all the greats mentions The three Kings BB,Freddie,Albert SRV Gary More Eric Clapton David Gilmore So many more Satriani & Eric Johnson always good
  13. Perhaps therein lies the rub ???? As for below Of course they are
  14. https://finbold.com/real-value-of-one-u-s-dollar-decreases-by-86-in-the-last-50-years/
  15. I agree but as I said it turns into a dog chasing its tail Yes they want higher wages as prices rise. Companies in turn pay higher wages & raise prices of products to keep profit margin & investors happy Something more is broken & needs fixing it is neither the top/owners (who risked capital & created jobs & now want profit) nor the bottom/workers (who works hard to help create profit for the top)
  16. I think most have always agreed "Lower/budget" dollar for dollars spent you can have a better quality of life in Thailand As for repatriating always being for the worse please realize USA was always a get it your dang self kind of country period! Anyone rich or poor who is not completely disabled can come here & find a suitable job at ANY age & have a nice life with the benefits the job also affords Look at all the old retired folks working at Walmart,CVS,Amazon,Target etc etc etc But problem is too many folks have Red Hen Syndrome
  17. Both very true points Burn some bridges & there is no going back but that was YOUR decision Secondly many complainers had their cake long ago now complain
  18. Yes of course this is true, to a point Notice in America how the unions drove up wages It was like a dog chasing its tail Union drives up minimum wage Companies increased expense meant raising prices Did the employees go anywhere? No not really but everything got more expensive for everyone It is a tough nut to crack, Of course if inflation rate is 3% & salary/minimum wages don't increase it is felt especially by the lower wage earners But at the same time as said above America & other western countries raised wages to a point most foreigners moving to places like Thailand went there to get away from the price increasing madness. If Thailand keeps raising minimum wages it will do exactly the same thing & become the same as the USA/Europe because of course taxes will rise too But again tough nut to crack because yes we cannot leave the lower income folks behind & say hey just live on your 2-300 baht a day wages Sadly Thailand least of all has a government fit to sort this out
  19. Exactly they need hi tech weaponry yet they clean sewers not with pump trucks but prisoners & buckets
  20. One thing I dont miss about Thailand is the excuses they call beer This is beer 555 yes thats not a misprint 14% & taste so good melts in your mouth ????
