I was in King's Cross quite a bit a couple of years ago. The new buildings and investment around there fantastic. However look at my old sector Life Sciences. Billions pulled out in last week from AZ and MSD. These were 1000's of high quality jobs toether with the clusters thst build up around these centres. 2017 to 2023 FDI down 58% in the sector. Life Science ie Pharma and Biotech were once of the crown jewels of the UK economy. A certain vote in 2016 has fecked this. I still talk regularly to quite senior people in the industry. They are not seeing sunlit uplands and prancing Unicorns for the industry in the UK. Pals I do know who I worked with in Singapore and the region have bought very nice houses in North London. Access to university and hospitals in the centre plus out to the Silicon Glen's where their HQs are.

There is a free seminar on KYC in Asia on Thursday. It is aimed at lenders but should be of interest :-) :-)

There is a school in Chiang Mai combines the languages with cultural activities to qualify for the DTV.

You need to state your location.

Yes - basically a lower level LTR would be good. Less barriers to entry but still enought for money and growth into the Thai economy through taxation and spending. The SP could be for as long as course running. That is basically what the Thais were talking about. They were pissed off about Visas and vists to the West though. :-) :-) I understand their point. I have not taken my Thai friends to weddings in USA and UK over the visa thing.

Oh I do not talk to him. Just know who it is and his background. I am a bit Lord Snooty who I mix with here lol
