Puff piece. 

Medical hub? Thailand better take English more seriously if that is the goal. For the most part, medical textbooks are written in English.

So the owner has 5k baht to clean up the mess…if no damage just collecting trash and cleaning the rental….that cost is way less than half the deposit so the owner actually made a few baht 

 

should have collected the extension monies in advance forcing the renters to clean the place if they wanted their deposit back (which is always at the iffy/mercy of the owner)

Landlords have the notion the deposit is a "tip" they are entitled to without any effort. Personally, I couldn't leave a mess behind, it just isn't in my nature. I even make sure my hotel rooms are tidy before I leave. That being said, the landlord of the apartment was never going to return the deposit, probably one of the reasons they rented to foriengers to begin with, soft targets.

My father owned rental properties. We would spend every weekend renovating a vacant unit. That particular unit in Patayya would be considered an easy job. At least the trash had been collected. A window screen can be fixed in half an hour & a new door hung in half an hour as well. We would have been happy to have a project that could be done in a day or two.

Another mind reader. LOL ... whatever. Most of the punters on this board never learn Thai or the culture. Pretty sad really. Look how I got all thumbs down about my post. It's because it hits home. Years and years in Thailand and don't even learn Thai. What a joke.

Ambassador for Thailand I presume. Jokes on you, you are not Thai & will never be Thai despite all your efforts. You are no more accepted in Thai society than someone fresh of the plane & that's just the reality of how things work.

The gift loop hole, is still open & that is the route I took.

I give the wife some money to take care of our family. Most importantly, the x-wife gets NOTHING.

My issue is I am a member of an LTD company in the USA. It isn't clear if the $ is considered passive or non-passive, as according to America the money is not considered a salary.

Currently, the Average 20 yr old American woman is 177 lbs.

= hard pass 

Logically, until Thailand gets it's tax rules ironed out, the real estate market will remain stagnant. 

I have no crystal ball.

Are these guys gonna report their worldwide income in Thailand and then pay Thailand taxes on it if they stay longer than 6months in a calendar year?

Why report world wide income & not report the $ brought into Thailand, as far as I know the law/policy is...

Tax is assessed on the amount of $ remitted to Thailand?

World wide income has nothing to do with remitted money.

Knowing one's self, being grounded and self confident are qualities of a leader.

Sadly, she doesn't show any of those traits.

In Thailand the jilted spouse can sue the afair partner. The problem is when the afair partner is married, then this becomes a mutual destruction situation...  As the afair partners spouse can also use.

But if a claim of further damages beyond the disruption of the marriage can be claimed (such as theft of 5 million baht) the balance of mutual destruction has shifted.

Well played

Ahhhh

Nothing like living in "tax limbo."
