So, nothing has changed then. Right?

Don't forget the pig farm.

It's going to be fun. Strap yourself for the ride. That said, depending on what the Thai authorities do, one should be prepared to at least consider that it may no longer be financially beneficial for them to reside in Thailand past 180 days in a calendar year.

Nest egg in Singapore, play money in Cambodia, and elsewhere.

Sure, and why pay 1400 baht when you can buy them for 348 baht?

Well, I thought Ego would "come out to play" but I guess not. I remember him posting something about me having my tail between my legs on this issue. Interesting he hasn't posted how wrong this guy is. He was quite vocal about Article 18, and how we all should "forget about Article 19." Article 18 and Article 19 of the DTA between Australia and Thailand was put forward as the big victory for Aussie pensioners, alas, at least one professional doesn't see it that way. Perhaps Lacessit can post about it. He claimed Article 18 and Article 19 clearly set out why Aussie aged pensioners will not be taxed. Maybe he will be more forthcoming on how this professional is wrong. It just leaves me wondering if the information from Jim Quinn, from the ATO, is accurate, or not, particularly as there were a few other staff members from the ATO that said non resident tax must be paid by aged pensioners living overseas. Hopefully Ego and / or Lacessit will be along soon to clear it all up.

Only half correct. VB popular in Australia, Fosters not.

Forgot to mention. I suspect the OP meant Aussie imported beer, not Aussie craft beer, but who knows?

No, up to you as in, up to everyone how they choose to answer. Many continue to their bank/s they are a resident for tax purposes, when they clearly are not.

Have you ever actually tried any craft beer?

Do you have any content to post?

I've never volunteered this information. My bank/s have always had to ask me for it. Maintaining a "domicile" in Australia, my reply to them is I am still a resident for tax purposes. How each member answers the question is up to them, however, making a false declaration is an offense. I suspect after the proposed changes are passed, it will not matter in the future anyway.

Haven't heard from Ego about this youtube clip at 18:50 minutes. Maybe he missed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1chBfp8_XE We could all do with his expert interpretation on it.

Every May budget and every 1st July they are not passed I celebrate another year of not paying non resident tax. The party has to end one day, but ostriches don't like hearing about it.

35% of not much is, well, not much. I suppose if it pays for a box of Leo a week then that can be considered profit.

But pig farms are.

Pig farms in Thailand are a safe haven during these times of instability, if you can get a work permit.

The best investment in Thailand has always been no investment in Thailand. Rent, and pay as you. It's been a proven money maker over decades, and may save your life.

If only we knew when the next military coup was going to happen, then that's the time to short the baht. A little like placing a bet on the date of the election in the UK.

Why not just read the law, and not what you "want" to be correct?

Why are you buying only one condo? You should buy two condo's. The second condo is just as good investment as the first condo.

Yes. I agree.

You might want to do some due diligence on Express VPN. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/expressvpn-cio-among-three-facing-1-6-million-doj-fine-project-raven/ They lost a lot of customers over this, and I would never trust the company.

Why would you want it, or prefer it?

Wired is always faster than WiFi, and no interference from other signals. Simple as that. Mining requires little internet, but a lot of electricity. It could be what he's up to, but if it's a monthly booking, you should be metering the electricity anyway, otherwise, people just leave the A/C running 24/7.
