And that is why after 14 yrs i changed to a marriage visa 2 yrs ago,on another note,saying how much Thai banks have in unpaid loans ,3 years ago i phoned the bank to ask how much they wanted for a house on our estate,29 million , about 3 weeks ago i phoned again 15 million," i cant afford it i replied ,oh the owner will cut to 12 million ime sure" and thats just one property,been empty for about 5 to 6 yrs.i reckon at the very most its worth 8 million these days.

The Bank for Agriculture And Agricultural Cooperatives  BAAC,

have to go bust.....anybody check those massive foreign currency

deposits we have been told about...... are still there, ..or overseas

safe havens, for the really wealthy .

regards Worgeordie  * good for the Government who need money.
