It would be convenient for the west if there was some type of military coup or revolution, but that is highly unlikely. Given the extent of global debt owed to China, once the west max's out their credit, I can only see going to war as a method of clearing the debt. Image the shame of a government explaining to their citizens, in democratic countries, that China now owns their country's economy. I suspect America has a false flag operation already planned, based on an attack on Taiwan, or an incident in the South China Sea, to kick it off.

Never heard of a child being a tax deduction before, but TiT. Maybe if someone had 5 kids, they pay no tax at all.

Do you deny many foreigners have Thai hookers as their girlfriend / wife?

Why are you taking it so personally? You said you would "do it my way" based on Somchai's information. In your own mind, you are all sorted. What's the problem?

Thanks for that tip. I'll be sure to check that out as well.

Might be time for another "Baby Bonus" policy. Get the houso's to pump out more future criminals.

It's going to be funny when it comes out in Court that she's a Ladyboy.

The AUD will go lower. The reason why is in the link below. http://australiandebtclock.com.au/#google_vignette

Unless the staff member at the telco shop rearranged your fist, middle, and last name, so they don't match. Oh well, another trip to the telco shop to check it out, and then another trip back to the telco shop 2 days later to confirm the information the staff from 2 days before gave you was accurate. TiT.

That's exactly why I don't even have the 800k baht in Thailand. The 800k baht invested in my home country, at over 5%, earns way more than the cost of the agent every year, and with the bonus I don't have to deal with immigration. The 800k baht is nothing more than a donation to a Thai bank. I continue to laugh at expats saying their extension only costs them 1,900 baht. They don't factor in the loss of interest.

Link????

In most cases regarding foreigners here, the wife is "the child support."

I'm surprised they didn't say, "Tax for eat and sleep for 1 year in Thailand 500 baht. You pay cash, no receipt."

Exactly. Thailand can't be seen to have another military coup so soon, as that's not good for an already failing Thai economy. The answer is to get rid of the political parties through the corrupt court system. Thailand still looks like a democracy on the world stage, and with an independent judicial system, but nothing could be further from the truth. Thailand is an unstable, 3rd World Country.

I go into my Thai banks and Thai telco every time I have a new passport. As another member said, say a staff member of the telco rearranged my first name, middle name, and surname, I'll have some grief. TiT. Kasikorn is starting to give me the sh*ts.

No. He's just catching up with an old friend.

Asked the same question to a friend's wife some years ago. She said that they go with you to make sure you fill out the ballot in the manner in which they paid for.

There's always collateral damage when building an empire, and that's exactly what China has been doing. I'm not saying it's right, but it's interesting how in history when western countries did the same, it was fine, but when China does it in the present, it's terrible. There's a new empire coming to the world. Get used to it, or prepare for World War 3, because that's the only thing that can stop China.

We can't even afford to breed the next generation of Australian tax payers. https://www.9news.com.au/national/was-baby-drought-hits-17year-low-as-costofliving-crisis-bites/9971af2b-71e3-45a5-9451-d3f9008572dd#:~:text=Western Australia's birth rate has,more than 35%2C500 in 2016.

Correct. Thailand masquerades as a democracy, but really is a dictatorship.

I'm sure he stood on a platform of working for the people.

More lucrative than working over an expat retiree who's on a pension.

Have you considered the Thailand tax implications for her with your strategy? They already know about it anyway.

Who would be supplying the drugs? So, the tax payer picks up the bill for this. Well, yeah, obviously. Your point is not lost on me, but it goes way beyond simple "legalization." Simply legalizing drugs still means illegal importations, and rich drug dealers. Addicts would have to be registered, and given drugs by a government's health department for your plan to work. How would a politician possibly "sell" this to the voters, given that the people taking the drugs may be on welfare, and never worked a day in their life, and the tax payer is paying for them to be high every day?

Gotta wonder though, if you cut the money off all those years ago, would she have gone back to the bar?
