Perhaps the 97-2006 rates were too good to be true. But today's monetary authorities in the west , with their Boomer bailouts , are going to be hard on the respective currencies. Maybe we will look back at today's rates and think it was too good to be true too.
But our good leaders always make sure that our imperial subjects shoot themselves in the foot anytime we do. Make sure they engage in monetary stupidity as well. So maybe things will hold.
If not , there's always coupes and civil unrest to fund, to cut them down to size.

As an expat, To those who would ever consider moving to Thailand to retire, I would recommend keeping an income source in your home country, Invest in Thailand only what you are prepared to lose, Get to know the Thais that live around you(just smile and say hello). You will be much happier and find people here are easy going and caring. Just keep away from the tourist areas, the Thai people have had jack of the farangs here,and will not tolerate a western uppity attitude. Come over on a holiday, rent a car and travel the country, head north and see the true LOS, It is an amazing place.

One thing I thought i learned (there isnt such thing as learning in this world) in the last disasterous 10 years was that its better to be close to your investments. I guess it depends if you have a good lackey or agency taking care of your 2 crack houses in the asshole of Ohio
As far as physical assets go, I want to be close. And I'd accept the risk of the assets being in Theighland before I'd do the absentee owner thing.
So no. I'm going to challenge you on that. That just isn't useful advice.

I bet Deeks can't even speak Thai very well let alone converse with his neighbours on anything but food and the weather.
Yes. Any more questions?Originally Posted by SKkin
deeks/Booners talking weather with his neighbours (there's another hint for you, BM):
White guy looking at Thai people who are wondering why this fat and sweaty man is talking to them; 'hot,hot', he says waving his chubby hands towards his face and chins, pretending to be holding a fan.
Boon Mee then walks on thinking how connected he is with the locals and their environment . . . the locals watch him walk on and wonder why western countries deposit their retarded geriatrics in their village.
ive no idea whether im an expat or wot, I have property in uk, I pay taxes in uk, I live in los. and the thai gov tells me im an alien , so wot the fuck.
for all the pissing contests that have taken place, over the course of this blogg . and a lot of negativity from the usual bully's, its made a 7 page contribution, and not altogether boring. well done that man
I consider my self long term visitor as have only been here 34 out of the past 36 years, (1 in Cambodia, 1 back in California)
lived in Jomtien back in 84, it was nice there as you really felt it was separate place from Pattaya..now...27 years in Jomtien.
Oh how it's changed.
I wont be a expat here till i die here and as i am moving back to Cambodia next year,( was set to move last june but....) hope i hold on till than

I only spend part of the year in Thailand so I guess I am a fake expat. Actually no expat at all since I have not given up my Pat.
I guess that makes me a Pat Pat which is twice as good as an averige pat.
