ThailandInvestmentGuide Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This coming weekend is one of special significance to real men: 26 May marks the day on which John Wayne was born (Gen-Y: Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne) 27 May is the day on which ‘Chips’ Rafferty passed away (Gen-Y and non-Australians: Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chips_Rafferty and http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/goffage-john-william-pilbean-10317) ‘Chips’ embodied what most Australian men once wanted to be like ... right up until they started wearing tracksuit pants and slippers around the house, and obsessing about the size of their TV screens These two guys were legends - seriously To celebrate the occasion I am offering a man-size discount on the e-book version of “Your Investment Guide to Thailand” http://www.amazon.com/Investment-Guide-Thailand-Bruce-Bickerstaff/dp/9749511867 Less than half price. Two days only. Enjoy quiche? Don’t even think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sales not going so well, huh? Next you'll understand the average demographic of expats in Thailand and offer a free bar fine with every sale. It might work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this book's author is not making any such "get-rich-quick" type claims From the description on Amazon, it sounds like an interesting and informative read Having bought the hard copy last week i found it very quite informative and, though a lot of it is common sense and is information that can often be found on tv, it certainly helped me to focus on what i needed to do (and not do!) in the future. I will also now be getting the ebook to take advantage of the many links to other sources that are in it along with more up to date info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the purposes of this exercise, real women such as yourself are more than welcome to join the party. I think you have the original 2010 edition, and I have made a lot of changes and updates since then - doubly so in the case of the e-book edition. Worth having a look at it, and I would certainly welcome your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think I babbled on for 270 pages while you've managed to compress your knowledge into one sentence If the author was so rich through his tried and tested investments he woulndt need to try and make money from publishing a book! * Make the effort to at least read the entry page of my web site * With but a few limited exceptions, no-one would write a book with the intention of making money from it Edited May 24, 2012 by ThailandInvestmentGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshiwara Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 On a less cynical note, investment in some stocks might be worth it, but investment in an actual business? No. Weak legality and language problems. Nothing that compares for example with the Hong Kong Small Claims court. At least with (major) stocks the market is liquid.

I enjoyed the original edition, and am interested to see your updates. Can I buy it in paperback at Asia Books? Well there was a updated hard-copy version released May 2011 but I would definitely recommend the e-book. It's much more up-to date and you can click through on hyperlinks. You can download the free Kindle for PC software and then just read it on your laptop. Edited May 24, 2012 by ThailandInvestmentGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandInvestmentGuide Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks to those TV members who have taken the opportunity to obtain a copy of the e-book version of Your Investment Guide to Thailand at a very special price this weekend. I look forward to receiving your feedback about the Guide over coming days/weeks. I have made many amendments to the manuscript based on the comments I've received, sometimes (for example) adding discussion about new topics. As you can imagine, with so many potential topics and such a diverse readership, it's quite a challenging undertaking. For any other folks who might be interested, just a quick reminder that the normal price will be re-applied at amazon.com later this evening.
