No, they are most likely to get into debt buying everything they don't need rather than pay the mortgage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message is clear.......borrow, borrow, borrow........spend, spend, spend! borrow........spend, and you will be our slave, we will take back your home or your child will repay the debt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed as if every man and his dog was queuing outside a phone shop or carrying a small bag which was a symbol they’d just bought one. The horror of the peasants having a good phone too.. maybe one better as a foreigner. I am sure you were shaking your head all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racket Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 They forgot to mention that thais are probably the #1 in the world who also owe money from each other. In case things really go bad, we might actually see a civil war cookin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I for a moment think that banks or private lenders have a heart, but bad debts are bad business for them too. The phrase 'Subprime Loans' comes to mind, but the Thais in high office won't have heard of these and even if they did they would deny it could happen in Thailand. We know everything is their motto!

I resisted for years but eventually it became needed for work etc. Technically I still don't own one. When I finished my last contract the boss said keep the laptop and phone and my wife just bought me a SIM to use in the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 It is very typical for a female with a regular 15,000 b a month job at least the ones I have met in Bangkok. Rent 4,000 b. ( Oh Nuts type area) Car 6 to 7 year loan 7,000 b. The rest for food and making minimum payments on their high numerous CC balances. But hey hey, this could all be positive news depending on who you are and your goals. Last report I read there are over one million profiles and climbing, on Thai dating sites. Ever wonder why??

observer90210 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 With the madness of social media used to push to consumerism....or with the global cheating of major retail electronic firms who program or design their devices to last only for a specific period....household debt on the rise is a global phenomena that will again lead to a global financial crash when people will be unable to payback............when this happens, the world should force the major big players like Apple, FB, Amazon etc. to payback the global debt.
