Americans on SS: What will you do when SS will Cut $18,000 in 7 years?
But... that last paragraph is hardly concrete evidence with its use of 'can create', 'can contribute' and 'potential impact'. CATO is shouting it out loudly, implying it is a 'fact'. -

Options for investing Thai baht
This seems to be limited to Thais only. Just 10 years ago this would have been almost impossible. But thanks to Fintech (the finance technology revolution of the last 10 years) you do have some limited options. "Stashaway" opened a branch in Bangkok a few years back (2022?). And this is the option I'd use in your position (i.e. want to keep money in Thailand to keep things simple but want access to the World's ETFs and mutual funds). Obviously it is always wiser to follow the ABC rule when an expat (live in A come from B invest in country C) and it is also always wiser to invest in a first-tier country (e.g.Singapore or Hong Kong) to ensure your money is safe. But obviously only you can determine your priorities. I doubt this is possible. HSBC does not have regular customer account options anymore. Although they have recently opened premier customer account option in Bangkok. But I don't think this offers mutual funds etc. to foreigners. A basic problem you face is that regulations restrict where you can invest. As you've probably discovered you will not be able to make greater investments in the UK if you are a resident in Bangkok, although you will be allowed to keep investments already made in the UK. These stifling rules can be very frustrating. Again, the typical solution is to put money in the more 'relaxed' locations of Singapore or Hong Kong. All of this can seem tiresome but compared with 15 years ago this is absolute paradise. Back then the only real options for international investments were insurance company based investments which were often dreadful. The other options were to invest in local mutual funds etc with often pitiful returns. -

Report Thailand Moves to Legalise Poker as a Sport
-I would imagine now that thousands of Thais will be getting their finances in order, probably a bit of a refresher on the game. All over the country, local Thais must be pooling their finances, borrowing from friends banks and loan sharks to try to get a foot in the door and maybe have a chance at a business or even just making a few bob to get by on. Give it a month or two, then watch as the corruption juggernaut railroads them and declares another U-turn and robs the people of their investments and businesses, just as they did with the Cannabis, the rice growing, the fruit growing, in fact, they will be rug pulling on every single thing that the ordinary Thai does to try to get ahead - Let them invest, let them build a business, customer base, make a bit of money, and hey presto, gone in a flash, into the pockets of the usual scum.
