  1. Well believe it or not it was on a Thai TV show the other night a show with a couple of kids having to do tasks then explain what they are doing and the Adults have to guess, one of them had to listen to a quick blurb of this song then have the adults guess the name of it, but all the kids could remember was "I said hey" so not much luck.... but when they playing the little blurb on TV my brothers kid went nuts for it.. so I assumed he might like the whole thing and boy did he ever. My brother now officially hates as it's on permanent repeat but hey such is life that is what cool uncles are for.
  2. BINGO.... how in the world did I ever forget the name of that song hahaha... Thanks
  3. Hmmm I bet this thread would be the place to ask. I am trying to find a video or more info on a song that used to be played all the time in Pattaya. I think it's called "I said hey" or some variation on that. I was/is sung by I believe an all girl band, but I recall them only singing, not playing any instruments. They are I believe Latin? The video is among other places on a beach and a bar top?? I recall there was some quirky quickly annoying little dance thing they did in the video.. I have no freakin idea why I can't find it with the amount of info I think I have correct So can any of you long time visitors help a brother out??? TIA
  4. Well here's the thing, I live in Niagara Falls, Ontario so while in Canada on this trip (about six weeks) will cross the border as I live about ten minutes from the Rainbow Bridge, so if there are any issues etc.. no big deal drive home... I would rather take the chance on having it work out while closer to home than in an airport hundreds of miles away still..so indeed she will get that US stamp.. just a little later is all.
  5. Thanks guys, I actually wimped out and changed the flight rather than go through all that paperwork I imagine it was probably easy but didn't seem worth the extra effort.. .I changed to BKK to MNL, Then on to Narita and from there to Toronto... paid slightly more but business on the NRT to YYZ leg so it's gonna have to do.. Much appreciate the heads up...
  6. Hello, These might seem like an odd question but my wife and I are flying to canada this summer and the best flights I've been able to find are flying from BKK to JFK. I have then booked an Air Canada flight from LGA to Toronto I get the AC flight for free via work so with the good deal on the premium economy from BKK to JFK it was hard to pass up. My question is this, my wife being Thai has her one year Visa in and out of Canada. But as we are actually getting off the plane in NY and then transferring airports but NOT as part of a booked route, is that going to be an issue? I realize for me being Canadian it's not as I've done it before but what about my Thai wife only have her Canadian visitors Visa? Might be a worry about nothing but better safe than sorry. We generally fly HK to Vancouver so it's not an issue... but damn those flights are too good to pass up.... Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...
  7. Much too volatile pair for me. I prefer to stick to the old boring but predictable GBP/USD you only a single pair that you comfy with and a method of reading it you have faith in and that's that. Mind you unlike so many of the so-called trading Guru's out there I am not looking to get rich, just pay my bills and stick some money in a few other things here and there... which I do believe makes me a better trading as I don't ever trade with "scared money" CVK
  8. I'm going to pretend you're not really that stupid and you're just making stupid comments to go for the shock value... there are plenty of solid GUARANTEED by banks and trust companies etc...investments that pay more than the crappy interest you get leaving your money sitting in a bank account.. Nobody least of all ME said to put anybody in a 'high yielding stock" but you continue to make your silly assumptions... and your 6%. CVK
  9. I am not saying you should be taking advantage of whatever investments the orignal poster posted but your post is way off base. The reason those companies make what they do is because we NEED and USE those products. GM makes cars because people need and want cars.. ok bad example. .Toyota makes cars because people need and want them... the fact that they can turn a profit is great but they build cars because there is a market for it, just like toothpaste and anything else that is a consumer good. People spend money and other people create things for them to spend that money on. Plus if you had any actual facts you'd know that GM although losing a ton of money last year would have been a lot worse off if not for two things, first one the boatload of money the made from their GM Capital arm.. and the second being the shitload of money they made invested in the Forex markets. Also, The Royal Bank of Canada last year made over a Billion dollars in profit and as a shareholder reading the annual report you'd see that a few hundred million of that was from currency trading... Only a fool puts his money in a bank account and takes a lousy 5 or 6% a year there are many well managed professionally run "higher" paying investments out there... you just have do some looking.. J
  10. Interesting topic, some of the opinions stated sound like they are coming from people that have either never traded anything including forex or they bought some Ebook or trumped up we'll make you rich forex course and are now bitter. FYI, I have traded full time for ten years.. 8 with options and the last two with futures (the ES) and forex.. as I split my time pretty evenly between Thailand and Canada each year I usually trade more heavily on the futures when in Canada as the time frame suits me better and when in Thailand I trade the London Forex session more often.. again the time frame works better.. The reality is that 95%+ of all new day traders lose money and usually their entire accounts within the first year. But far too often it's NOT because trading is so hard it's that they don't really understand what they are doing and never do learn. If you haven't traded full time any market for at least one entire year you have NO clue how that market is going to react in every possible environment and as such you are just guessing at trades or worse you are trying to follow some super duper secret method that you paid 197 bucks for.. Trading is NOT about making trades it's about controlling your emotions and managing your money.. the rest will take care of itself it is very nice living in Thailand for six months while still making a full sized western salary... As to one of the questions the original poster asked nobody here in the Thai government seems to know what to call what I do. I am NOT employed by anybody in Thailand nor am I selling or buying anything in Thailand and to make matters a little more complicated I always log in remotely to my machine in Canada then do my trading from there so in actual fact my IP on my trading platforms are showing as having me technically located in Canada while I trade..I have asked them (the Thai Gov't) if I was expected to have some sort of work permit, but my computer is in Canada, my brokerage accounts are based in the US and have the profits wired to my Canadian account and withdraw here from my ATM card.. so to this point they have NO official stance on it.. I'm sure that will change at some point as they figure out what to call it and how to tax it. J
