Making Cent$!

Why Thailand is your Best Destination for Everything!

Right after the pandemic when travel opened up again, everyone’s wanderlust kicked in.  What people didn’t realize is that a complete cross-migration began and that was driven by the youth.

The Youth had money and now the Youth control the new stock market. The new stock markets whether you like it or not are un-regulated. This new stock-market is where the global cash-flows are stockpiled.

This new stock-market is called Cryptocurrency!  - This is your reality!

Reasons why all this happened do not matter!  What we need to look at is the here and the now and what is the best option for you and your family to live in for the future.


Here I am going to present you a running comparison between the United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Thailand.  In both of these countries I have followed their systems and understood the differences between these two countries.

The reason is that UAE is considered to be an icon for the Middle-East & Thailand because like Malaysia, Indonesia & Philippines have never been directly engaged in the Global politics of the world and survived whatever Global Democracy has tried to infiltrate into their systems and are honest to their customs, cultures & respective religions. that was up until 2017

In 2017 (new archives do not lie) The UAE & Saudi Arabia saw a shift of the Balance of power when the State of Qatar many prominent acquisitions Internationally such as Harrods.  Qatar Airways achieving 7 star status and a threat to their main revenue from their respective flag carriers all ties were stressed to the point that the state of Qatar had virtually no fly space allocations for its airline. 

Eventually things got resolved and it all went un-noticed but after that is when the Emirates also got more confident supported by Saudi Arabia and expressed an interest in external affairs especially in the countries of Pakistan & India 

Ever since then there was a rapid decline in the affordability factors as far as living in Dubai is concerned!  The Saudis were in the middle of an infinite Hi-Tech city but now that too is an insignificant bit of reality of a dream abandoned again???

STRATEGICALLY!

UAE – is NOT really a commercial port for trading. It is a Travel Hub that is where their focus has been on Tourism and Travel & The development of an impressive infrastructure build to impress.

THAILAND - in a fraction of the same money developed the same and is a commercial hub for not only Air Travel with its National Flag Carrier Thai Airways but also has deep water ports access that is already retro-fitted to handle large scale container shipping.  Strategically it is a very safe & politically correct warm water port for the entire far-east.

 

ECONOMICALLY

UAE 

People have seen many financial crises happen in UAE – Social Media also displays abandoned luxury cars – The UAE is very unaffordable both financially and emotionally as well to survive in. Tax-Free is no longer applicable and forget your Cost of Goods Sold – your Cost of living is unaffordable for the elite also right now.

Also, if Dubai is doing so well and is so amazing as an investment opportunity that is not to be missed then why are the advertising on all the social media channels in Thailand for foreigners to come to Dubai and invest their money! – Actually, its please come Back to Dubai, (Quite honestly!) – Monet talks & Wealth whispers, (Example) – Mercedes Advertises Luxury, Rolls Royce maintains silence with Class and you cannot buy that anywhere!

Further to that UAE is heavily influenced with its close affiliation to Saudi Arabia and its involvement in Global Middle-East & South East Asian politics is now affecting its entire economy! 

In the middle-east it’s a rented life where you own nothing! You come, you go! And that’s it! Next person please!

THAILAND

Has had a friendly relationship with everyone on the planet!  Their beliefs are simple and for a fraction of the amount you have ready access to each and every amenity be it commercial, personal & professional.

Like the UAE there are your social-media hustlers that do imp[roper work on retirement visas and yes company openings can be a problem, however one must understand that this happens globally every where and a lot in the UAE also! Why because more applicants – more problems!  That’s it!

The country has displayed a steady growth on all its infrastructure and rather than re-investing to impress they have used the money from Travel and Tourism to develop an amazing infrastructure for agriculture, commerce & production industry as well as information technology! 

The Thai people are honest to their jobs and if entrusted with a project, they might right now the conception skills however, their ability to meet deadlines on massive real-estate projects is flawless. Their honesty to their work is instilled in their culture

The Thai people believe in a cash-based life simple – they do not understand the complexities of economic politics and refuse to be involved in taking or giving credit to anyone!

If you follow the proper process with the country and approach Thailand’s Board of Investment – through its website – www.BOI.go.th – you would be surprised as to how simple everything is.

The government is friendly and yes they will also get you translators to assist you in your native language! The BOI website is in Thai and English.

Now going the honest simpler & cheaper Government way, or through some random person on social media advertised solution provider is up to you!

CULTURALLY

Thailand is exactly like Amsterdam totally liberal, the difference here you can roam around in flip-flops and shorts – in Amsterdam you need a snow jacket! (Great weather all year round)

The predominant religion is Buddhism with Islam as the second most followed religion of choice!

It is a humble culture far different from all the others because in Hinduism you have a God for everything. The Christians, had their crusades and inquisitions, Us Muslims we are in a state of Jihad perpetually.

Buddhism is all about infinite love and the struggle for perpetual peace and mindfulness of others – Buddhism is an awareness of the reality of the here and the now before you!

Buddhism is all about accepting your own part in everything and understanding is separate, realizing where you can better your own self because your time here is only temporary.  So we should use to it to do good for everyone around us in every way!

I do not state that all other religions are bad! No! If you go through the Holy Quran, or if you Go through the New or Old testament of the Bible – even the Gita – none of them preach any form of conflict – all the religions in this world have one common factor and this God is Universal & God is Love everything else is man-made politics!

 IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

I have done immigration consulting for the longest period of time and my only advice is visit the country! Do not keep the mindset of a tourist!  You had your fun!  Do your research!  Write down your questions!  Email the Bord of Investment directly! Ask them to connect you with an accredited law firm you can afford (if you can afford one) or guide you how to do things yourself directly!

No Jokes! You really don’t need anybody!  A simple Google Translate app for a few physical conversations and to scan and convert documents to help you with translation.

There is a cost attached to everything! What you can afford you will gat much value anywhere globally!

Once you are done with everything and the Board of Investment is sorted!  When you come here to Thailand make sure you come only for business!

Keep all your agendas away from you!  You are talking about your life!  Do not mix Business with Pleasure!  You can party all your life! You cannot buy time back!

Thailand has the most flexible visa policies to suit every need and they are all affordable.  Thailand has the largest youth Crypto population! Why not come down and invest in a growing economy now!
