Any Predictions for 2025 guys ?

[thaibeachlovers]

Posters will still complain on AN about Trump.

Life will get worse for most of the world's population.

More wars over resources will start.

Too many babies will be born without any chance of having a good life.

So another NEW Year is upon us, do you have any predictions for this coming year ?

 

I reckon YIngluck will return in the next few months, same lame stroy and excuses why she wont be in jail either.

 

The TAX issue everyone's panicking about, I reckon, will prove to be a storm in a teacup, and most wont  even even be effected.

 

There will be a significant announcement made around May-June regarding immigration rules.

 

What do you think? got any guesses whats headed our way ?

I am very sceptical regarding the ETA thing they talk about. Asking for finances and addresses when I already have a retirement non-O and they know everything already! I wonder how they will fix that when I want to return after a "holiday" in Europe on a re-entry visa already given! They are just making too much BS now-a-days!

More natural disasters, more floods, more of the planet will become uninhabitable because of climate change, more large scale corporate cyber attacks and user data theft, more poverty, more food shortages, and more global human carnage than in 2024.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

50-percent of the population of Thailand will convert to Christianity during the coming year, 2025.

And then, there will be consequences.

 

That's not the consequence? Or did you mean additional consequences?

[shackleton]

I predict things will remain the same unless they change 🤔

If things don't change they will stay the same !

A concerted effort by the Shinawatras will bring an end to corruption and nepotism in Thailand.

 

Following radical changes in the law, Thais will become the safest and most considerate drivers in the World.

 

Wealthy hisos will push for a significant increase in income tax so they can fund a decent minimum wage.

 

The three Chinese built submarines will  prove invaluable in a conflict that suddenly arises with laos.

 

 

 

[Kinnock]

Concerns about the growing inequality in Thailand  will prompt the Government to promise a 3000 THB handout to everyone who can complete an on-line claim form.

 

The on-line claim form will crash before anyone can make a claim.

 

New ways to tax the poor will include congestion charging, diesel tax, salt tax, sugar tax and a crackdown on expat pensions.

 

Tax relief for Mia Noi's will help hard-up billionaires.

 

At least 5 of the 580 Chinese car companies entering Thailand last year will pull out of Thailand. Suzuki and Subaru will quit Thailand leaving only Toyota, Isuzu and the new  Honda/Nissan partnership.

 

Russian will become the official language of Phuket.

 

Dual pricing will extend to public transport.

 

Anutin will become P.M after an investigation into the unusual wealth of the current PM.

 

People claiming they are going to leave Thailand for the Philippines will increase 200%.

 

People actually leaving Thailand for the Philippines  will remain at zero.

 

[georgegeorgia]

Who am I to be "debunking " the myths but let me say this .

I believe Thailand will lose a lot of British expats because of the frozen pension and Philippines will become more popular as will Vietnam 

 

Vietnam will introduce a retirement visa 

Thailand crime including drug violence will increase and the govt will be forced to act 

[Patong2021]

We will see a new pandemic originating in China. Look at the reports coming out the place now.

Same hushups as in 2019.

[connda]

If the world leaders don't pull their collective heads out of their collective derriere's?
About 1000 morons who control the world's nuclear weapons are more than happy to eliminate the other 7.9 billion of us. 

[CANSIAM]

Hopefully Elon Musk will meet with a bad end.

1... The  Rich will get richer

2...The poor will get poorer

3... The Bull<deleted> will continue

4...Wars will continue

5... Climate Change   will be blamed for anything and everything

6...Humans will continue to de-evolve

In order to eliminate above :

1. Billionaires  should not exist.

2. The poor needs the supports.

3. Common sense is only the one way.

4. Wars is enough: peace is best for everyone.

5. Improving the awareness & respecting to the nature environment.

6. Be in good health & continue bars, girls, whatever you wish. 🙂

According to Jim Rickards:

 

"1.  MARKET MELT-UP. Markets are at or near all-time highs based on every available metric: P/E ratios, CAPE ratio, market cap/GDP ratio, concentration risk, etc. This is accompanied by indexing, investor complacency and analyst euphoria. When such conditions have existed in the past, they have always been followed by market crashes of 50% to 90% unfolding over several years. Examples include Dow Jones (1929), Nikkei (1989), NASDAQ (2000), and S&P 500 (2008).

 

"We are now positioned for an historic crash. The specific cause does not matter - it could be war, natural disaster, a bank or hedge fund collapse or another unexpected event. What matters is the super-fragility of the market when the trigger is pulled. This is why Warren Buffett has over $300 billion in cash and why central banks are buying gold. Prepare now. Don't be the last one to know.

 

"2.  A U.S. RECESSION IS COMING. There are ample signs that the economy is headed for a recession … .

 

"3.  CURRENCY WARS ARE BACK, AND TRADE WARS ARE COMING. … .

Shouldn't wish bad fortune on others, but I hope Elon is on the first spaceship to Mars on a one way trip. He can take Bill Gates and George Soros along with him.

I agree with most except 2. I see too many poor people that smoke and drink and do nothing to help themselves. I only want to help those that want to better themselves.

I disagree. IMO it's going to be a depression and one that will make the 1930s one look like a recession. Why? because there are too many people that contribute nothing to society- just drones, and we know what happens to drones.

Like the 1930s, it will affect the entire human world, and like the 1930s will end in a world war. IMO.
