Trying to understand why is a tricky business for sure.

Are you kidding? Have you not seen what the US federal reserve has been doing with interest rate?

Gold will rise handsomely in this decade as it appears it will mimic the 70s era, with the Fed’s chief making it clear he will meet market’s expectations. Market expects him to restart easing soon, that’s why stock market and oil went up again even though economic indicators look like <deleted>. Inflationary years are coming. I’d buy a few gold trinkets for a rainy day. Thailand’s gold shop market is very good.

Has it been particularly successful with Russia....they seem to have no problem cutting gas supplies and attacking grain sources and we are well into severe sanctions against them?

Not saying the person you replied to was correct but Russia has resources and China really does not.

Especially Russia with Ukraine farmland +

I REALLY wish the older British expats would let this go as it's now beyond annoying.

I see you all sitting in Pattaya on beach road wearing b50 nylon running shorts, a singha singlet and b40 flip flops. As the group of three old geezers admire the trash walking up and down the footpath one says to the other...yeah, I remember when she'd cost me a fiver. The others would sigh and nod approvingly. Remember when I got 75 to the quid... The others would sigh. Yup, thems the days mates...

STOP for the love of God. It was 20 years ago.

You seem to know alot obout these conversations about 'trash' by badly dresses 'geezers'. At least they have happy memories of better times. What do you have apart from misanthropy?

I thought it was Sterling getting hammered..... what are you comparing the USD with? If the Thai baht, I heard Thailand is buying them up using foreign currency reserves.

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

Five Nations And Japan Move To Secure Hormuz As War Spreads Global powers are edging closer to the Iran conflict, with major European nations and Japan signalling they are ready to step in to protect one of the world’s most critical النفط chokepoints.

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

Lacessit replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

You are making completely unwarranted assumptions about me, I will let that go. Your statement " It's always better to have a partner as you age, as long as they're on the same page." does not work at ages close together Who can look after me better in old age, someone my own age, or someone 20 years younger than me? It's 50:50 whether I end up looking after her instead. My Thai GF has a vested interest in keeping me alive as long as possible.

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · 1 hour ago1 hr

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM1 day

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the
