Popular Post bkk6060 Posted July 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I actually believe it is pretty close to the numbers. Which verifies my belief that the all important expat/falang (in their minds) is not the big driver of the economy here as they think. In fact, if they all left it would make a small small economic dent. Sorry to say expats, are basically meaningless this place will survive just fine without them.

Have to agree - BTW the original link now works (Thanks NCC1701A) - the report is quite comprehensive and VERY heavy reading. But you can verify the figures if you want to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabis Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 At 73000 old farts going with the 800k option, that would be guaranteed ฿58.4Bn at Thai banks' balance sheets rolling on and off while the minimum yearly (required) balance would be ฿29.2Bn, plenty of cushion to leverage for new household and car debts for locals 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think TV should make a story out of this report. actually this report is very damning in many ways. word count: trafficking 239 sex 321 corruption 11 exploitation 126 unregulated 24 Edited July 26, 2019 by NCC1701A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the people from the neighbour countries would leave would be a bigger problem. But I wonder why they are not in the 200k expats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in box 1 because she is Thai, 2 because it´s a resident family, 3 because she is your spouse and 4 because you are retired ???? I guess it depends on your kind of visa.
