Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
I strongly suspect that once the global tax change goes into effect, the “stay in Thailand less than 180 days” loophole will also be closed. Thailand will simply require residence visa holders to be resident in Thailand for 180 days, or the visa will be cancelled. This is a requirement in most countries for residence visas

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?

I like to attract the Thailand Tokay Gecko to my house: Using My Mating Call!
They, and everyone else, were actually telling you F-U and still are telling you F-U

Thai Banks To Face Rigorous Compliance Regulations Starting June
The State Department Credit Federal Credit (sdfcu.org) will open accounts for Americans living overseas I am going to open an account in order to get another US credit card. If you got a credit card, were there any problems in obtaining it?

Why is Thai service so abysmal
First of all, if your card does not work, the fault is on you, not the restaurant. If you are so concerned, why not try the card somewhere else. Anyone with a gram of common sense would know that the restaurant policy is not cast in stone and as one alternative they would change their policy to accept cash. Get over yourself

Why is Thai service so abysmal
You “thought about visiting”, called the bar with a hypothetical question and noone bothered to answer you, so you concluded that they are ignorant or arrogant. How about the option that they do not have the time to answer nonsensical questions?

Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism
I am curious, if Thailand is an undeveloped country that treats you so bad, then why haven’t you followed previous suggestions to leave if you do not like it?

The Investing Year Ahead
I Advantages of the three-fund index portfolio Diversification. Over 10,000 world-wide securities. Contains every style and cap-size. Very low cost. Very tax-efficient. No manager risk. No style drift. No overlap. Low turnover. Avoids "front running." Easy to rebalance. Never under-performs the market (less worry). Mathematically certain to out-perform most investors. Simplicity i would think that rebalancing would also be more difficult with that many funds, depending on how strict you would be in maintaining the balance you desire. However, as I said in my earlier post, I do not practice what I preach, but have been reducing the number of investments

The Investing Year Ahead
i took a look at your own holdings and according to most investing theories that I follow (but unfortunately do not practice), you have way too many holdings. Their recommendation both for your own investments and the inheritance would be a portfolio holding 3-4 etf’s - US index, global exUS, fixed income. My portfolio is 25% fixed income, 25% sector (AI, tech, financial,etc) etfs and 50% stocks. If you have not done so, take a look at the Bogleheads website (believers in Warren Bogle, founder of Vanguard). Some excellent advise and savvy investors will give you answers. Also, Warren Buffet is a strong advocate of buy and hold etfs.

My point being that I worked with Thais for many years in an international company. Spent countless hours in meetings and eating out with Thais. Since you did not answer my question, I assume that you cannot speak Thai. Further, your interactions with Thais are limited to bar girls, motorbike taxis, store clerks, etc, very few of whom have the ability or interest in communicating with you. Tell us why you do not move to Malaysia - my bet is that you do not have the financial means to qualify

Have people in Thailand gotten less friendly/happy overall, or is it me?
Relentlessly bad mouthing Thailand and yet, you are all still here
-
What part of Asia are people more friendly?
Do you speak Thai or is your communicating with Thais related to bar girls speaking broken English? Do you have normal, middle to upper class Thai friends? If you cannot speak Thai, how do you know whether they have a sense of humor? I have found Thais to have a great sense of humor, however, I am able to joke with them in Thai
