Does that seem unreasonable? The tourists who I know spend 3 to 4 times that amount. -

Anutin Blessed for PM Role at Newin's Birthday Ceremony
At a significant ceremony for the 66th birthday of Newin Chidchob, the de facto leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, blessings were bestowed upon party leader Anutin Charnvirakul, aiming for his future as Prime Minister. Held at Buriram United Football Club's Buriram Castle, the event on 4th October attracted politicians, esteemed figures, and high-ranking officials from the Interior Ministry. The ceremony was unique, featuring age-old traditions from the Chidchob lineage. A central feature was an elephant ceremony, where participants fed bananas to elephants, symbolising good fortune. This was followed by a wrist-tying ritual, a traditional act believed to bring luck, conducted by the revered monk, Khuru Pakam. Picture courtesy: Daily News Significantly, after the monk blessed Newin by tying a string on his wrist, Newin requested the monk extend the blessing to Anutin, fervently expressing, "Tie it so he becomes the prime minister, tie it so he's great, tie it so he's strong." This public endorsement hints at Anutin's potential ascendancy in the Thai political realm. The ceremony, attended by numerous celebrants, was not just a personal milestone for Newin but also spotlighted the political aspirations and networks within the Bhumjaithai Party. Anutin, presently serving as the Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, is seen by many as a potential candidate for the nation's top political position. In response to the ritual and well wishes, Anutin reciprocated by tying a string on Newin's wrist, offering good health and that Newin's own desires might manifest, reported THai Newsroom. The exchange reinforced the bond between the two political figures and the strong camaraderie within the party, potentially shaping the political landscape of the nation. The day’s events have sparked conversations about future leadership and alliances in Thai politics. TOP Picture courtesy: Thai Rath -- 2024-10-05 -

Biden Urges Unity Amid Hurricane Helene Recovery, Calls Climate Change Skeptics ‘Brain Dead
This is great, he's a lame duck with nothing to lose. He does have to be concerned not to muck things up for his party, but after the election I'm hoping for some serious fireworks, e.g. reopening the Mueller Report case and get the AG off his _ss to give DT what he has coming.. DT should run his new stolen election scam from Moscow, I'm sure he'll enjoy the winter weather -- hang in there Donnie, it'll warm up a little in April. No doubt Melania would love to return to Eastern Europe and the overbearing presence of Russia. -

Rediscovering Purpose for Retired Expats in Thailand
Surely, too much of something can become boring. Even the "charms of the ladies". My observation is, that few Farangs engage in activities that benefit the local Thai folks. Some are starting to look for a "stable relationship" as an anchor in their later years, after having explored all the possibilities of short term aquaintances. Often resulting in "marriage". This may work but statistically it does mostly not work, at least not for the Farang. IMHO best for Farangs is to post on AN during the week, (relentlessly) and hit the town over the weekend. Some of us do just that, I never got the impression that they get bored. Way to go, before considering marriage. -

What's behind the current THB strength?
Surely I'm not on his level, and the amounts I have mentioned should not sound outrageous to any seasoned investor. Obviously, you are not on that level but just a wind up. Which school you are teaching English? -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
The rub from the Nyp article: “DHS allocated $780 million for the migrant crisis last year initially through the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which funds relief not associated with natural disasters, and then through the new FEMA Shelter and Services Program, which was authorized in late 2022 by Congress to respond to the migrant crisis”. -

President Kamala Harris
Some fun facts about the Democrat plan to steal elections using "overseas" ballots: -Through the UOCAVA/overseas program, you can register to vote online without providing ID, SSN, or proof of citizenship/address. -You can register in any state, at any address, and no one verifies whether you have ever actually lived there. -Many states allow you to send your ballot via email. -A recent Democrat memo announced their plan to collect 9 million overseas Democrat votes. According to a federal government report, there are only 2.8 million eligible voters overseas. -In 2020, the number of civilian UOCAVA votes inexplicably doubled from their normal average. -The Democrats have spent 6 figures on the "vote from abroad" program the rake in more unverified civilian overseas ballots this year. -In 2020, just 44,000 votes across Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin votes won Joe Biden the presidency. Democrats only need a handful of fraudulent overseas votes to steal this election. link to the DNC memo announcing this plan: https://democrats.org/news/dnc-announces-innovative-six-figure-investment-in-democrats-abroad-to-ensure-engagement-of-key-voters-living-outside-u-s/- 1

What's behind the current THB strength?
I had 300K US$ and 320K Euro sitting idle in a Kasikorn FCD for almost a decade, but I considered it chump change. Got it? I made a wrong investment decision at that time, but even if it went to zero, I wouldn't have to reduce the size of my breakfast or move to Isaan to survive. I obviously don't have the investor knowledge most members on this forum have, but even at only 1.5% on my current savings in Thai banks, I'm sure the money gonna outlast me, and I don't even mention the funds in my home country accounts, so why take any risks -
