Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHLiara is about to get married to Kyle. A simple eloping at city hall so they can put all their money towards her dream house & their honeymoon to Italy. Kyle comes in to say I'm not going to Italy with you....I'm going to Thailand! He just needs a month or two. Also, he quit his job. I don't think it's gonna work out. They're donezo so she goes to talk to her mom. Her mom tells her that she should still go to Italy. It's her dream trip. So she goes and the trip starts a little rocky with the honeymoon suite still being decked out for a honeymoon. But that's nothing some sightseeing can't fix. She's talking to her mom constantly, throwing coins in a well which promises that she'll end up getting married in Italy. And it doesn't take long. She ends up meeting Leo. She tries his pastry, they talk about her marrying his grandma, and encourages her to go visit her bakery in Capena which happens to be where her parents met. So instead of getting on her flight home, she hops on a bus to Capena. As she's walking down the street, she sees an picture of a villa for sale for 1 euro - it's a villa that her parents took a picture in front of when they visited. So she buys it, not with any real plans to move there but more like a symbolic gesture. While walking there, Leo drives past her and offers to give her a drive. He gives her some bad news - there is fine print. She has to start renovating the house quickly and be done within a year but you also have to leave the country in 90 days and be gone for at least 90 days or else you're going to get fined big time. Luckily for her, Leo is a handyman. He says he's too busy but we all know he'll be back. He keeps getting incredibly stressed out whenever his dad calls but we're not sure what that's about. They get to work and begin to hang out outside of the renovations, as well. She even joins him to watch some football which is big fun, especially when they hug and he spins her. The sparks are flying. And the house is actually starting to turn around a bit. But one day, a step on her ladder breaks and she falls. She's real sad. He shows up and picks her up, kicks open the gate, puts her in his truck, helps her calm down. And he takes her to his place to take a nice warm shower. He gets her a dress and they go out to dinner together and he opens up about how he graduated from Harvard and his dad was so proud of him but he was miserable, so he came to Italy and never left. He takes her back to her place and her electricity is on and she just starts talking about how she loves it here and loves her villa and loves him! whoa whoa whoa. A couple days later, they're enjoying some time together and they end up kissinggggg. Things are really looking up for the two love birds until Kyle shows up one day. She tells him to GET LOST! But her time is up. She has to leave the country tomorrow. And this hotel chain guy comes by to make her an offer on the house with plans of turning it into an AirBnB. Leo asks her what she wants to do and she says she thinks Chicago is her home but she'll come back to visit. That's not good enough for him and he leaves. She gets the offer and decides that she doesn't want to take it. And the good news is she finds out that she doesn't have to leave. She tells Leo that she wants to finish renovating it and they can rent it as an AirBnb themselves. Her mom finally comes to check out the place and is blown away. And Leo and Liara celebrate with kiss.
Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist Jonathan Garner explains why Indian equities are our most preferred market in Asia.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jonathan Garner, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist. Today I'll discuss why we remain positive on India's long-term equity story.It's Tuesday, the 24th of June at 9am in Singapore.We've had a long-standing bullish outlook on the India economy and its stock market. In the last five years MSCI India has delivered a total return in U.S. dollars of 145 percent versus 94 percent for global equities and just 39 percent for emerging markets. Indian equities are our most preferred market within Asia for three key reasons. First, India's superior economic and earnings growth. Second, lower exposure to trade tariffs. And third, a strong domestic investor base. And all of this adds up to structural outperformance not just in Asia but indeed globally, and with significantly lower volatility than peer group markets. So let's dive deeper. To start with – the macroeconomic backdrop. We expect India to account for 20 percent of overall incremental global GDP growth in the coming decade. Manufacturing competitiveness is improving thanks to bolstered infrastructure in power, ports, roads, freight transport systems as well as investments in social infrastructure such as water, sewage and hospitals. Additionally, India's growing middle class offers market opportunities to companies across many product categories. There's robust domestic consumption, a strong investment cycle led by public and private capital expenditure and continuing structural reforms, including in the legal sphere. GDP growth in the first quarter was more than 7 percent and our team expects over 6 percent in the medium term, which would be by far the highest of the major economies. Furthermore, we continue to expect robust corporate earnings growth. Since the end of COVID, MSCI India has delivered around 12 percent per annum [U.S.] dollar earnings per share growth versus low single digits for Emerging Markets overall. And we forecast 14 percent and 16 percent over the next two fiscal years. Growth drivers in the short term include an emerging private CapEx cycle, re-leveraging of corporate balance sheets, and a structural rise in discretionary consumption – signaling increased business and consumer confidence, after last year's elections. Another key reason that we're positive on India currently is its lower-than-average vulnerability to ongoing trade and tariff disputes between the U.S. and its trade partners. Exports of goods to the U.S. amount to only 2 percent of India's GDP versus, for example, 10 percent in Thailand or 14 percent in Taiwan. And India's total goods exports are only around 12 percent of GDP. Moreover, for the time being, India's very large services sector's exports are not exposed to tariff actions, and are actually early beneficiaries of AI adoption. Finally, India's strong individual stock ownership means that there's persistent retail buying, which underpins the equity market. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) flows driven by a young urbanizing population are making new highs, and in May amounted to over U.S.$3 billion. They provide consistent capital inflows. That means that this domestic bid on stocks is unlikely to fade anytime soon. This provides a strong foundation for the market and supports valuations which are slightly above emerging market averages. It also means that its market beta to global equities are low and falling, approximately 0.4 versus 1.1 ten years ago. And price volatility is well below other emerging markets. All told, making India an attractive play in volatile times. Thanks for listening.

Send us a textAfter making the announcement about committing to new episodes every Monday, I've been a complete failure. The blame lands squarely on the shoulders of the Michelob Ultra CEO.

I do a current timeline recap and a promise to tell Thailand deployment stories on the next episode. Enjoy this episode and your life.

Die Freundschaftsbrücke führt über den mächtigen Mekong und verbindet Thailand mit Laos. Hier beginnt Lorenz Schröter seine Reise, kurz vor seinem 65. Geburtstag und fast vierzig Jahre nach seiner Weltumradlung will er es noch einmal wissen und fährt mit dem Fahrrad in Richtung China über die wichtigste und längste Straße von Laos, die Nationalstraße 13. Vorbei an Reisfeldern, buddhistischen Tempeln, Tümpel mit Wasserbüffeln, Autowerkstätten und Garküchen. Die Straße passiert die Hauptstadt Vientiane und führt nach Luang Prabang, dem spirituellen und touristischem Zentrum des Landes mit seinen berühmten Tempeln und Nachtmarkt. Die ersten 400 Kilometer sind asphaltiert, dann nehmen die Schlaglöcher zu, die 13 wird zu einer breiten Stein- und Lehmpiste, die sich über die mit Wäldern bewachsenen Berge schlängelt. Kautschukplantagen und Bananenfelder verdrängen mehr und mehr den Urwald, in denen noch ein paar hundert Tiger, Elefanten und das geheimnisvolle Saola, eine Antilope, leben. Westlich liegt das Goldene Dreieck, immer noch ein wichtiges Anbaugebiet für Opium. Chinesen investieren im Land, sie übernehmen Fabriken, Plantagen, haben die neue Eisenbahn finanziert, und im Norden an der Grenze zu China eine Sonderwirtschaftszone eingerichtet. Das verschlafene Dorf Boten wurde so zu einer sündigen Boomtown, in dem chinesische Gesetze gelten. Die Nationalstraße 13 ist beliebt bei Langstreckenradlern, fünf hat der Autor unterwegs getroffen, auf deren Reise von Aachen, Warschau und Belgien nach Ost-Timor, China oder Australien. Sie alle suchen das Abenteuer und den besonderen Blick bei 20 km/h an der frischen Luft.

The 1957 war movie The Bridge on the River Kwai was so popular that fans flocked to Kanchanaburi in Thailand to look for the real-life iron bridge. They found the bridge, but it wasn’t on the Kwai—the movie got the river’s name wrong! Soon, however, that part of the Mae Klong River was renamed Kwae Yai (Kwai) so it would align with people’s expectations. Jesus never let the expectations of others cause Him to waver in His divine mission. People flocked to see Him because they heard of the signs and miracles He had performed (John 6:2). When they found Him and believed that He was the promised Messiah, they wanted Him as a military leader so He’d save them from Roman rule. John says, “Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself” (v. 15). Despite the pressure to rescue people the way they wanted, Christ resolutely followed God’s plan to rescue them the way they needed to be rescued (Colossians 1:13)—not from earthly troubles but from the power of sin and death (Romans 8:2). Jesus’ unwavering will to provide what we need is why we can trust Him in all circumstances. When God’s ways don’t seem to align with our expectations, we can be assured that His plan is always better—because He doesn’t waver in His will to save us.

Fed up with their own inadequate and expensive care systems, many elderly Westerners are choosing to retire to Thailand, where care is cheaper and often better. Many say Thailand's Buddhist culture and respect for the elderly means Thais are naturally caring. It's a booming sector, and is only likely to grow as we all live longer. But the decision to move can be complex, particularly when it involves retirees with dementia. People have been accused of dumping their sick relatives in Thai care homes, far from family. Is this exploitation – rich Westerners taking advantage of Thailand's low wages? And what does it mean for local health systems, as care workers are lured away to look after foreign residents?If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Gideon Long(Picture: British retiree Liz Jackson, now living in Chiang Mai.)
Our CEO Brett Curry sits with Jim Kennemer in this latest episode. Jim knows his stuff when it comes to tariffs, supply chain management and sourcing anything outside of China. Brett wanted to bring Jim on the pod to break down the opportunities and considerations of sourcing from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico, sharing real examples of how brands like Columbia Sportswear and Converse have legally engineered their products to slash tariff costs. From understanding country of origin rules to leveraging bonded warehouses for cash flow management, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for any brand looking to optimize their supply chain in today's volatile trade environment.Key TakeawaysThe DDP trap that could destroy your business – Why "delivered duty paid" arrangements are legal but dangerous when suppliers falsify invoices (and why you're still liable even if it's their mistake)Tariff engineering strategies – How adding a simple pocket or felt liner can reclassify your products for lower tariff rates, plus when this optimization makes sense vs. when it backfiresVietnam vs. other manufacturing hubs – Where Vietnam excels (textiles, wood goods, furniture), what to expect for pricing and quality, and why MOQs are higher than ChinaDe minimis rules and bonded warehouses – How the $800 shipment exemption still works (except for China), and when custom bonded warehouses can turn a 30% tariff hit into manageable cash flowCountry of origin compliance – The "substantial transformation" rule, why trans-shipment will get you caught with 50% more audits happening, and how to properly document manufacturingWhether you're considering your first move away from China or optimizing an existing diversified supply chain, this episode provides the roadmap to do it right without the costly compliance mistakes that are tripping up other brands.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/heartwisdom and get on your way to being your best self.“The secret is, the opposite of attachment is not detachment, but love. Because true love does not seek to possess or control, it doesn't separate or fear what is there. True love is the ability to be present without grasping. From this place, love offers its blessings.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack mindfully explores:Transforming unhealthy clingings into Wise AttachmentNot getting stuck in our ideas and views The global price of collective addiction and attachmentMoving past our attachment to our sense of separatenessThe big spiritual question—who are we really?His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and keeping a healthy curiosity around deathLowering our defenses and helping others lower their defenses around usParenting with trust and connection rather than clinging and controlThe good side of attachment—connection, well-being, mirroringTransforming low-self-esteem and the body of fear into self-confidence and opennessUsing spiritual practice to open to a love that includes our full humanityFinding the true possibilities that the spiritual path offersResting in our being—how not to seek and chase, and how not to run away and hideTouching our incompleteness, our brokenness, with compassionExpanding our heart and connecting with our shared humanityUncovering within us our inner knowing, The One Who KnowsHow to be true to yourself, and make a light of yourselfMeditation as an invitation into vulnerabilityMoving from unhealthy attachment into Wise RelationshipHow Being Here Now, our capacity to be present, transforms our lifeNirvana as the absence of struggle with the world as it asPlease help support Jack's daughter Caroline's Oasis Legal Services in their mission to help persecuted LGBTQ+ Asylum Seekers gain citizenship and safety in the U.S.“We want to be loved, we want to be held, and it's so hard to be vulnerable. Meditation is an invitation to that vulnerability, the rawness and openness of the heart. Not because it's good for us, but because it moves us back to the truth that we are held. If we can sit and open, we'll discover that this universe that has given birth to us really does hold us.” – Jack KornfieldThis episode recorded on 03/08/1993 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was originally published on DharmaSeed. “Nirvana, which is the absence of suffering, doesn't mean that the world goes away.

Thailand's government has long been wary of opening up the country to gambling, imposing major restrictions on betting.Small-scale, illicit gambling is widespread in the country but now politicians want to liberalise the industry and allow casinos to set up shop.The goal is to promote tourism, but opponents argue that the gambling business is incompatible with Thai culture, which is largely rooted in Buddhist values that frown upon betting.If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Ed Butler(Picture: Protesters in Chaing Mai, Thailand, in April 2025, seen holding placards during a demonstration to protest the government's draft entertainment complex bill at The Phae Gate.

Love Thai food? It might be thanks to a two-decade long policy on the part of the government of Thailand to promote its food culture abroad, with the express aim of increasing trade and tourism.

Academic Sam Chapple-Sokol at George Washington University in the US explains why gastro-diplomacy is such an effective tool for soft power. Jan Wisansing, tourism policy consultant in Bangkok, explains the impact of the Global Thai scheme on international tourism to the country. Ruth speaks to the owners of LumLum Thai restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, who have recently received a Thai SELECT award, an official endorsement from the government of Thailand.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Esquire from the YouTube channel Legal Mindset to expose the growing trend of nuisance streamers in Asia—content creators who break local laws for clout, profit, and views. We dive into shocking cases like Johnny Somali and Vitaly, who face serious legal consequences in Korea and the Philippines for disrespecting cultural norms and engaging in illegal behavior during livestreams.Andrew, a U.S. attorney currently living in Thailand, breaks down the legal systems in Asia, why these streamers think they're untouchable, and how local governments are starting to crack down. We also discuss what makes Bangkok such a hotspot for digital nomads and content creators—and why Thailand isn't the lawless playground some outsiders think it is.
What. A. Weekend. The US Open had everything. Drama, comebacks, fadeouts, bad weather, amazing shots, and on the final day at various times any one of half a dozen players were a genuine chance to win. So good.We do of course start the show by talking about the US Open and the incredible win of J.J. Spaun. Mark talks about how Spaun describes himself as a 'bad luck golfer', but he made his own luck at Oakmont. That final putt was unbelievable. We discuss the comments that his coach made to him during the rain break about 'trying too hard', and Mark compares Spaun's actions in the break to Minnesota Fats in the movie The Hustler. Nick muses about what the scores might have been had the greens been firm, and we talk about that drive on 17 from Spaun.We discuss Adam Scott, a real chance going into Sunday and unfortunately a tough final round so he didn't finish the way he'd have liked. Mark described it as 'brutal to watch'. Nick and Mark discuss Scotty's reputation as a bit serious vs the reality of their experiences with him, and Nick explains why he 'hates Adam Scott'.Nick and Mark give their view on the Sam Burns relief (or lack of) ruling on Sunday, and Mark says whilst the ruling may have been technically correct, it means the rule is wrong.Nick forgot to put his phone on mute before the pod, but it works out well as he gets a text from US Tour Pro Austin Truslow who played the US Open, so we decide to call him back live and have a chat. Austin explains what playing Oakmont was like, how he approached it, and about hitting balls with J.J. Spaun on the Monday prior. Nick asks Austin what a 5-handicapper would shoot at Oakmont.There was some bad behaviour at the Open. Namely Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark. We discuss.In light of Spauns stunning winning putt, the Top 5 from Nick is the 5 greatest shots ever made to win their first mens major. Has he missed one? Competition time. Let us know if there is one Nick has missed and he will choose one wolkfpacker to win a Talk Birdie Prize Pack with $250 to spend at the Golf Clearance Outlet (instore or online) and a team entry into the Golfies 2-person Ambrose event, with the major prize a 25 grand trip to Thailand. Find out details and enter here. Remember - discount code 'Birdies' gets you 40% off your entry.As you'd imagine, feedback is heavily on the US Open today, but Dan gives Mark a whack for fighting with wolfpackers on social media. Mark defends himself saying that some people deserve to be whacked and he is happy to do it. PING globals from Nick, obviously Oakmont, but plenty of other great performances going on including an amazing result from a 15 year old women's amateur beating the pros ! And on Saturday Adam Scott showed some exceptional bunker play, and Marks masterclass today is on Scotty's bunker shots.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

The Southeast Asian country has witnessed a huge influx of electrical and electronic waste in recent years. Old mobile phones, computers, circuit boards and fridges are being shipped to the country and processed, often in unlicensed industrial sites. We explore why this has happened, who is behind it, and find out what the Thai government is doing about it. We join the Thai industry ministry on a raid of an unlicensed Chinese-owned recycling plant, and talk to a Thai farmer who says his cassava crop has been blighted by pollutants from an unlicensed smelter. We also hear from Thais about their own electronics recycling habits.

Greg and Ed discuss a fascinating question: Are Thai weddings or American weddings more fun? The question was raised after Greg attended the wedding of friend of the podcast Daniel Fraser. As everyone knows, Dan is a legit expert on travel in Thailand, in addition to being a bit of a celebrity in the country due to his appearances in various TV shows and movies. Greg noted that the experience reminded him how much more fun Thai weddings are than Western weddings, leading Ed to raise his eyebrows a bit and raise a few objections. Ed admits that Thai weddings can be very interesting due to their local cultural aspects, which would certainly apply to Dan's well-choreographed affair. And, of course, all weddings can be heartfelt experiences due to your wishes for the bride and groom. But when it comes to FUN in the conventional sense of the term, Ed argues that most Thai weddings are nothing more than elaborate dinners and typically lack the band, the dancing, and the drunkenness that are de rigueur at most American weddings. For fun rather than formality, Ed opts for Western weddings. Greg begs to differ, however (as he did on his blog ‘Greg to Differ'), and argues that Isaan weddings can include frivolity from the get-go, including shots of ya dong or Thai moonshine in the a.m. (!) Ed concedes there's no topping that, but theorizes that perhaps there's a difference between the typical Bangkok wedding, which might be more Thai-Chinese, and the typical Isaan wedding, which might be more fun and informal. Perhaps Ed just needs to attend some weddings out in the provinces! Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

We hear from Banff where the meeting of world leaders is taking place, as Donald Trump returns to Washington. Also, it's just three weeks until US tariffs could hit America's trading partners. Ed Butler looks at what the impact might be on Malaysia and Thailand. And, the Trump Organization announces plans for a golden mobile phone, made entirely in America.
Thailand, and Malaysia to the south, both depend on exports to countries like China and the US for economic growth. The South East Asian nations are now potentially facing some of US President Donald Trump's most punishing tariff rates. We look at some of their key industries, like rubber and manufacturing, that are threatened by the situation. Will both countries have to reinvent their economies? If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Ed Butler(Picture: Duang Chai, a rubber farmer in Chonburi, eastern Thailand.)

From rice to rubber, manufacturing to tourism, Thailand is one of Southeast Asia's most important export-driven economies. And its trading partners include China and the US. But the country's been struggling to bounce back from the effects of the Covid pandemic. Ever since US President Donald Trump first introduced tariffs against China in 2018, Thailand's also found itself having to tread carefully between the demands of the two economic superpowers. We hear from food producers, exporters and ordinary working people, about the choices ahead. Will Thailand now have to decide between Washington and Beijing if it is to survive a global trade war?
