Interested in what members would go for in Thailand or overseas late this year.

Have seen good advice on here regarding other things...

The first thing is you have to protect a good portion of this lump sum and make it work for you so that it brings in income. I trade Forex, so I would invest 100,000 in a forex account which should yield between 5 and 15% per month depending on market conditions. Others can buy shares, ETFs, anything that ensures that the money is put to work and earning income, returns will obviously somewhat smaller.

With the remaining 200,000 I would buy a house somewhere in Thailand and travel, buy a few toys.

You're asking investment advice on a forum where most members haven't even 300.000 Thai baht? LOL

Oh wait, I can see that at the bottom that our resident financial/legal/martial arts etc expert is reading, so just hold on

See the expert has excellent advice, suggesting you buy a house in a country where a foreigner is not allowed to buy land, and on which there is currently a nationwide crackdown.

Why not make it 15% a week?

I would be buying precious metals. Not as an investment, as a currency hedge.

Governments all over the world are debasing their currencies. The leader is the USA.

In 2000, one needed about 70 ounces of gold to buy a mid-range sedan such as a Toyota Camry.

In 2026, one can buy the same new car with only 7-8 ounces of gold.

I just wanted to say the same, although don't take my comment as advice.

My first gold I purchased at 42.200 baht per baht gold shortly after the inauguration of an orange clown.

I bought more at 54.700 baht and again last November at 62.400. Right now it is 68.750 baht

Again, the profits I made in that short term are no guarantee for the future, but it's an excellent hedge. I could have sold at +81.000 baht end of January this year, but I have no intention to sell ever if I'm not in desperate need of the funds.

I have been in the stockmarket prior to 2008, but now stock are pure manipulation by the 1% who have insider information. So you may get huge gains in the short term, which may disappear as snow in the sun just a few weeks later.

Another advantage with gold in Thailand is that the spread between buy and sell is very small. Only 90 baht per baht gold at Hua Seng Heng and no VAT or income taxes on the profits.
