samak Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 You can currently get 6.5% (perhaps more) by just depositing your money in an offshore bank account with next to no risk. in what currency? just a bank account or are those funds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samak Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Samak, take a look at this: Savings Accounts sure, for GBP, Aussie and Kiwi dollars. much less for Euro, USD and other currencies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Everyone whose savings are in a different currency to the currency of the country they will live in has currency risk. If you retire in LOS are you going to convert all your $ to THB from day 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 certainly not; hard currency will appreciate over time against a banana republic currency! i can recall that from my studies in economics over 20 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billywan Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Agree with you Gobble. I am not into go go's that much, too expensive and most of the time the girls are not that great. I generally have more fun with Beer Bar girls and Freelancers when I am there. I have 1 freelancer I have known for 5 years, is a great girl that I have fun with whenever I visit. As for my move to Bkk in July, hoping to live on around 100K Bht/Mo. Really need to find a good furnished apt for 10/20K a Month somewhere close to Suk. Not looking forward to apartment hunting, is such a pain. Hope you have a good transition to Bkk when you get there. Chok Dee bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Tks bw - ironic that you will arrive in the same month as Drogon : he has already agreed to get me completely pissed and intro me to some stunners, so my tip is to start putting the groundwork in now - by July, he'll be ready to meet you at the airport in a stretch limo.
