Thought that many times. But not so much about the money but the wasted time looking for, catching, trying to keep or get away from. I'd be rich with several PHDs

Instead of poor with several STD's?

 

No offense meant, I just had to take the shot ????

Most of us make decisions based purely on fear.

Look at western marriages. Avg wife 3/10 looks attitude everything.

It will be rather difficult for you to get free sex . 

Even females who don't work as prostitutes will expect something in return , electric bill being paid or shoes for the kid or something like that .

   Not often sex is given away for free 

I gotta give total respect to SparkTrader for living the dream.

 

Many pine to do it, but few get on a plane, go to god forsaken Khon Kaen, and put it out there. At best, they hug the edge of the swimming pool on Soi Post Office or Nana. I for one bet that a 500 body count is an underestimate.

 

If God wanted to give the world and enema, he would give it in Khon Kaen. So to go there and hit it hard with a ro-mance plan is something that would make a great indie film. Hopefully, Pauly Shore can be coaxed out of retirement.

If you have a Thai friend that you can trust (really trust) - buy a house in their name and register a Usufruct agreement on the title before you even think about getting married.  In the event of a break-up, your wife can't touch it because of course, you don't own it. House? What house?

There's a whole other world out there that most here won't ever see....and that is the women paying for and buying things for the men they like/love. Before the man has even spent a single baht. 

I'm not going to write too much about it here nor will I denigrate those who choose to pay for everything.

Masturbating

I would argue that it doesn't.........we rent a very nice condo 15,000 baht/month.....to buy the 'market price' is 6 million.

 

6 million invested will get you 300,000 interest......rent 180,000

 

Much cheaper to rent.....and much lower risk.

Exactly.

Plus, the landlord pays the condo charges which are quickly 3000Baht a month plus pays the agent to find the tenant plus repairs etc..
Max return 2% on investment.
Invest in a fund or buy some shares which yield 5% up and you are the winner.

It's actual a fact, it is cheaper to rent than to buy. Because we do not even talk about condo fees or maintenance to the house in general yet, the average house here needs to be rebuilt before or by the time the mortgage is done aka new mortgage/loan again. Not to mention that the interest can be that high it's actually meaning you pay 2-3X the house. So actually it is renting forever.

 

And for your example, the difference in profits by renting is going back into the loop, so the compound interest would even make you more rich on top of all this too.

I suppose buying here is interesting in the way Thais did when the bubble wasn't that blown up yet, they would pay off mortgage at lowest rate/cost and rent out higher + pocket the difference. Quite a difference when buying for yourself or as a business.

Totally agree plus you can sell your "shares" in a few seconds and buy higher yielding shares.

 

Not worth buying here.

Where can you get 8% returns on an investment ?

F.ex.

Buy LGEN, Legal and General.

Actually paying a dividend of short of 7%.

Sound company and very good dividend history.
Just raised dividends again.
Buy them, compound your dividends and in a few years, you are closer to 9%

I bought the oil giant BP at 550 15 years ago because it was paying about 6%

Share price today, less than 400!!!!

Cut its dividend too.

You should have reinvested your dividends.
Last year, you could have bought very cheap and your average purchase would also have been much lower than 550pc

That actually depends where, how much you pay, and how long your stay, if buying vs renting.  I would avoid renting, if possible, if knowing you'll live somewhere for 5 yrs.  You never recoup renting.

 

I've basically stayed 22 years in Thailand, 'rent' / housing free, buy building, selling when moving.  Actually quite profitable.  Selling, you get all your money back, and then some, means your lived 'rent' free.   Condos, probably not a lucrative.   And yea, do need a wife or trusting partner for home 'ownership'.

No, there is no way to avoid losing it all! As soon as you enter Thailand, you are doomed! The best thing you can do to stop the suffering, is to hand over your wallet, bank information and change as well as online accounts to the first 20 year old you see. After that, just turn around and walk to departure, rebook you return flight and go home.

That's great, I'm 66 can you find me a 20 year old (or even 30 year old) that will pay for me and buy me things?
