This reminded me of a guy I saw yesterday at the lights on Third and Klang in Pattaya about 6.15pm. Big guy on a largish ADV bike with a large box on the back, Thai lady between him and the box. His bare right foot was hovering above the ground - I could not see his left. Unless you had a medical reason why would you drive a motorbike with no footwear........

I think it is a little more nuanced then that...... From Reuters re yesterday finish - https://www.reuters.com/business/us-stock-futures-muted-trumps-tax-bill-stokes-debt-concerns-2025-05-22/

Looks like he doesn't even have enough money for a pair of "thongs" - let alone a visa........

Good luck with that.....I think China hold rather a large amount of said securities........

Seems like I know them a little better than you........ Your original link and the article your thread is based on does not mention global or world wide taxation. It mentions "residence based"......but does not really define what income. Sounds like a soundbite specific for OECD pandering to me. I think I have already proved the incorrect inconsistency in the Examiner article so please don't try quoting that again. It may well be that Thailand moves to a global based system but that has not happened yet and is not specifically referred to by the government spokesperson for the potential new legislation being talked about.

Was really my point. Thread heading, even with the question mark, is totally confusing. Not the first time unfortunately with this poster.

Why do you continue to post inaccurate stuff about global tax? The statement made by an "anonymous source" is currently incorrect as almost anybody who has followed the tax discussions should know. Even later in the article it states - So the article contradicts itself., Both articles were discussed in several of the other threads before you decided to muddy the waters with your completely baseless headline.

And my comment was for both of you as mine is as he said. Get over yourself

Yes

That one is in Birmingham - according to the article...... Cricklewood is in North London............and used to be a bit of a ....hole. No idea what it is like now but seems a strange place for a foreign leader to visit.......

They reversed a directive that had been in place for 35 years so did not need to pass a new law. Now they are suggesting they will be reversing it back but the devil will be in the details. It is up to you to prove it if asked.

Agreed.

The statement you quoted from the Examiner is factually incorrect and a different quote to what was in the Bangkok post. Also the Examiner says this later in the piece - So no global taxation yet.

He is referring to extra benefits which may be due. These may be limited dependent on savings you have. The pension itself is not reduced. Not specifically linked to "pensions" in general. However if you can save 250k why do you need benefits........

The Massgrave site linked to in the Register article I posted earlier explains it all very clearly - https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol

You do not specify what kind of policies you have looked at. I am not sure if World Nomads still offer but you used to be able to get long stay/backpacker (but decent limits) for from memory up to 18 months to start. There used to be a couple of other similar options. I had one years ago with World Wide Insurance before moving to Nomads but that was many years ago. In-patient costs in Thailand have rocketed in the last couple of years and major international health insurers have unfortunately been jacking their prices as a result.

Not sure about "anymore".......Has it not always been this way? Unfortunately nothing seems to have changed in that regard certainly for the last 15 years.

Here is a link discussing one option - note that at the moment you can't do anything about it unless you go to Opatch https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/microsoft-extends-windows-10-life-for-consumers-if-they-pay-30/ I mentioned another option in one of the threads - moving to the Win 10 Enterprise LTSC IOT version which will receive security updates until 2032 https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/22/windows_10_ltsc/

Even though there is no reference to DTA's? And no observation from you on the statement about "income" prior to 31/12/2023? So what exactly do you think will "kick off"?

Thanks for posting. Curious do you know when this was actually added? My quick initial skim suggests it does not clarify many issues for foreigners (apart from possibly the statement highlighted below) because it is heavily biased towards those with local income - in whatever form. So guessing it is mainly a translation of some current Thai RD documents but could easily be wrong. I did find this amusing however - Good luck with that.......... However this statement "suggests" any money you had anywhere prior to 31/12/23 is not taxable if remitted...........

So he still presumably has the 10k deposit which if only a cleanup is needed will easily cover that and the missing 5k agreed for the extra 10 days rent......... Unless I am missing something seems like he got off lucky compared to some others.

For anyone looking for a longer solution to keep Windows 10 (2032!) then perhaps look at this supposedly legal option - as long as you are happy not to have a few things - https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/22/windows_10_ltsc/ https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links I just wish I had known about it before as it would have saved me the trouble of getting rid of a lot of stuff

I take it you are aware that if you do move, and inform the relevant authorities in the UK of said move, that your pension amount will be frozen at the date you move - IE no future increases unless you move back to the UK or another country with reciprocal rights.

Suggest you start with the link below if you haven't already read it. The answer depends on a number of factors the main one being how much money in total you remit into Thailand in a calendar year where you are tax resident

How did you access it before and can you remember what settings you may have changed before you last closed it down? Are you even sure that the password contains # and not something else using that key?
