I think the theory is you can transfer out the same amount you transfered in, that's why you need the tor tor 3. If you have any profit left over you'll have to carry it out on your person, either that or give it to your girlfriend java script:emoticon(':whistling:', 'smid_18')

I haven't done this but I sure hope it works.

Can I open a brokerage account in Thailand to invest in the USA stock market?

or should I stick with my USA account?

What about investing in the Japan market?

What are the typical costs for a trade?

A friend just emailed me this; i had installed yesterday a wireless connection to the internet. the system keeps me hooked up to the internet 24/7. never off or cut off. got an average of 45kbps hook-up connection on the tel line but now i get 230.4kbps hook-up speed. Cost b7,000 for the hand phone transmitter looking devise & b1000 per month for the user fee connection that cancels out the local monthly tel line cost of b600 to b900.

He's not a techie, but neither am I.

Any other experiences?

A friend of mine had one put in about two years ago at Bangkok Pattaaya Hospital. He's very happy with it and the service he received. He goes back for a quick check up every six months with a specialized nurse from Bangkok. I think he said the total cost was about $4,000 and included three days in the hospital.

Anyone have any experience dealing with AsiaPac financial consultants?

Any other recomendations on an 'honest' investment consultant?

If I bring a cashier's check from a bank in the US, will a Thai bank take that as a deposit?

I understand they may take a month or so to process it.

I understand the standard way is to wire the funds, but I have other reasons.

My buddy owned one at Spanish Place on the top floor. The day he moved in the lift quit running and was not fixed for five months. He then tried to pay the balance but they were not able to transfer the ownershio because they did not actually have their own ownership documents.

He walked away and bought somewhere else.

Keep shopping and you'll find lots available.

If I rent my condo and the tenant stops paying rent, how do I evict him?

Do I call the local motorcy taxi group and have them remove the front door? or have then 'help' the tenant move?

Second question; Anyone know a 'good' 'honest' Thai attorney in Pattaya that specializes in real estate?

I'm considering loaning money on a condo and using the condo as security. Will I need a work permit?

What about the guys that rent out their own condos. Do they need a work permit?

See Dr. Anna at Bangkok Pattaya hospital. She's in the new wing in the back. I think she spent 10 years working at a great hospital in California.

I went to her last year. She was great and she speaks English like a American. No nonsense and very sharp.

As I remember, the initial consult is aboiut 400 baht, then she lasered two spots on me and took a biopsy for about 5000 baht. The biopsy was positive, so she had to cut a spot off my arm for another 5000 baht.

I got dramatic results from a lifestyle and a medication change.

I've been having extreme fatigue for a few years and the doctors could not find a problem, finally I asked an internist friend and he suggested I was getting a sodium overload by eating out every meal. He also said my medication, atenolol, a beta blocker would cause this.

I eat at home most meals and try not to eat anything that is prpared in a factory, seems they use salt as a preservitive. I also cut my atenolol from 100mg to 50mg. The result has been a dramatic increase in energy.

Check the labels in the supermarket and you will be surprised. A side benefit is I'm losing weight.

When I had to transfer money for the purchase of my condo i had the same problems, that is, needing a New York bank to pass thru.

I solved it by opening an account at Bangkok Bank, then going to their website, New York branch, there was the number. I had my cash the next morning.

The branch was easy to deal with, although I cheated and brought a Thai lady as a helper.

Swan Books on Soi Bacow near Soi Diana is the best. He must have several hundred thousand books there, and they are NOT wrapped in plastic, so you can actually see what's inside.

As I remember he's across from a gold shop.

How much tip for a 200 baht traditional thai massage?

I had an upper and lower eye job at Bangkok Pattaya hospital a couple of years ago. The doctor was a complete moron. Sorry, I don't remember his name. He had a gatoy working there that I talked to and 'she' said he was great.

During the surgery, the pain killer wore off and he actually put three stiches in after I was in great pain from the needle going in.

During recovery, three of his stiches came untied and those areas took forever to heal and naturally excess bleeding for about a week.

My friends tell me it looks great, but I can see areas that would be better with a better surgeon.

My advice is to to Bumrumgrad hospital in Bangkok or some other Bangkok hospital. I believe most of the really good doctors work in Bangkok.

I do recommend Dr. Anna in Dermatology at Bangkok Pattaya hospital. She's very sharp, speaks perfect English and was trained at Stanford in California. Last year she spotted, biopsyed and cut a little skin cancer off my arm.

I'm looking for a company in Pattaya that specializes in building kitchens. My contractor says that he can build anything I want, but only some of his workmen are any good.

The kitchen I want could almost be ordered out of a catalog, but I'm sure a specialist would do a better job.

I did talk to the marble top suppliers on Sukhumvit, but they say they only sell and install the top.

I'm also interested in other cabinets.

My buddy had it done about a month ago. He says he has a new "outlook" on life. Tells me he is extremely happy. He's a very private guy so If you want to talk to him, ask and I'll have to ask him. He live is Pattaya.

I hear that Laos will be closed for a Visa run for about 10 days. Anyone know if this is true and if so, what are the dates?

Thanks,

Jim

Try Andriol pills, now available at the pharmacy on soi 7, just two pills a day does the trick for me. other wise I tend to sleep all day.

My elbow has worn out and I need a good orthopedic surgeon. I know bumrumgrad hospital is probably the best, but I would like some recommendation on doctors.

Any recommendations in Pattaya?

Thanks,

Jimbbc

The next question is where do you store it for three months? and how much will that cost?

Just trying to figure a way to make a decent return, something a little better than a Thai bank is offering at 0%

Anyone investing in Thai stocks?

Anyone investing in other countries stocks?

I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks,

I am the original poster of this thread.

I congratulate you for stepping up and answering the many questions, especially since many are pure attacks.

I also find it interesting that not one person has admitted to being an actual client and commented on his experience.

This is a very serious problem and requires a an extensive blood test. The basic problem is a normal doctor will say your levels are normal but if you look at the readings, you may be running on empty and a little medication will improve your life or at least get you back to normal.

You can learn more about this on Yahoo group hypogonadism2

Testosterone can be administered several ways, including a pill, a cream, a patch, a shot, or a pellet.

Learn more and have your levels tested.

Has anyone done business with these guys? I've talked to them but they seem a little too polished for Thailand and they would not provide references.

Thanks, Jimbbc
