I think chang mai has something on ThaiVisa.com . Everyone else is just scattered about. you would have to post in the local forums if you wanted to hook up specifically in that area.

it's designed to prevent thailand from becoming another west. Plenty of other countries to choose from if you want to own land. As a general rule, the thai laws are designed for you to maximize spending (bringing money here) but minimize taking money out. If you did buy a business or other...

When accessing any web server outside thailand, anything over 20Mbps download 2Mbps upload is unnecessary and will only add to your monthly bill.

If you qualify as a taxpayer, then I suppose you would pay whatever taxes you are required to. If you qualify as a non-taxpayer, then I guess it wouldn't matte anyway. For US residents, I recommend reviewing the relevant sections of USC Title 17. If you work with reputable...

I don't worry about air quality, unless you are living in downtown bangkok. Even then, I wouldn't worry about it any different than any other major metropolis. Casual bicycling in congested parts of bangkok is not recommended if you are worried about safety....motorcycles are too aggressive...

If you are particularly picky, then grab a single/double entry tourist visa and see what it is like for a couple of months. If you are willing to give up some of your western standards, then go and see if you want. If you shop around or use priceline, you can get a round-trip ticket for $1100...

Excellent, when you include the cost of living, and wonderful women who generally prefer traditional roles of women. Internet is fine. I recommend a minimum of two different connections (one for backup). Most countries visa exempt is 2 weeks now at all land borders (1 month if you arrive...

I had friends day trading forex on EDGE connections using AIS/DTAC in patong beach or bangkok, but I recommend that only if you really have no other options. But I would suggest a landline ToT/CAT/3BB, followed with one wireless connection (CAT CDMA/AIS/TRUE) as backup.

Funny how people make comments like this with no basis in reality. I'm just passing through Rangsit, Siam Paragon, Fortune iT, Wong Wien Yai, etc and there is NO water whatsoever. Tourists can open bank account. You have to be a little persistent, and know where to go. If you have a...

You really cannot take anything personally in the markets :) Sounds cliche, but the dream world is very seductive, and it is easy to get distracted. Especially when it comes to money, which so many have been taught to take seriously.

At the fundamental level, you must still figure out what is true first. If it is a book or teacher, then you should be able to look over the person's shoulder and get direct experience/examples that matches up the paper method with examples. This is very easy to accomplish with screen...

The main flaw in attempting to read other books/people to validate your own truth is that you assume that what they tell you is true. You don't know if what someone tells you comes from their integrity or is just a story that they made up. Emotional hype, fake account statements, or revealing...

Recently I decided to use an extremely aggressive strategy to trade the recent NFP. I recorded the desktop so I would have an idea of how ea would perform with those settings. The EA worked perfectly as it turns out. It traded exactly the way it was written to, and the broker equally provided...

What I propose is quite different. I'm talking about a mechanical system that takes advantage of the price movement itself. It does not matter whether the movement is up or down, but it is important that the market is moving. My strategy specifically relies on the eventuality of market...

Which can be expressed in a logical, systematic approach, and then coded. This is of course subject to platform limitations, programmer limitations, etc. Almost exactly. I do not think it is boring to make money, though :) Testing will require "time" and investment of either your own...

One of the main problems I have with this type of statement is that it implies that there is some "hidden truth" in the market. As if the truth is not right in front of us. Why is time a factor? If one obverves the market without any outside opinion (including our own opinions), you can...

Right. My point is that because different participants are in the market for different reasons, there will always be someone taking the other side of the trade.

this is technically correct. The assumption here is that every market participant plays to "win". This sounds strange, but bear with me: In futures market, a farmer may be afraid the price of corn may fall lower than the amount of profits he is expected to make from future sales. So he...

The EA continues to work (or not work) for the same reason your car engine continues to work (or not work). If you run out of gas, it's not the engine's fault, just like if you run out of margin, it is not the market's fault. It is not uncommon for people to have full awareness of some kind...

I can prove that cost averaging can improve anyone's existing strategy. The main problem with people trading one trade at a time is that they are not taking full advantage of price swings. With forex, you can trade with micro lots (1000 units of base currency) and even nanolots (100 units of...
