Opinion: Thailand’s ambitious plan to tax incoming funds risks falling flat due to lack of clarity
When I moved here 18+ years ago the money I brought over was money I was prepared to lose and that still remains however I invested in property from day one and have more than quadrupled my original income and enjoy a very comfortable life style so it’s a case of swings and roundabouts I did the opposite to you and touch wood it will continue my Chinese neighbour keeps asking me if I want to sell my current property my answer I will give you first offer if I decide to !

Immigration Authorities Crack Down on Illegal Foreigners, Promote Tourism Policies

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
I presume this will commence from the new financial years 01/01/24 at least it gives us time to get income over before then that will keep me going for a years once they realise it’s a non starter and do a UTurn . My pensions are taxed at source in the U.K. if I was taxed over here it would be less that could be a good thing only time will tell on the other hand they might start losing the many nomads working in Thailands who will just up sticks and move on to a neighbouring country

American man faces dilemma as Thai girlfriend’s parents demand 1 million baht dowry
Don’t get married just live together and if that is not allowed then wave goodbye and let’s be honest Thai Universities are of the standard of a high school in the Western World the majority of children from Thai elitest go to schools in the Western world . My own opinion would be to say thanks but no thanks there are many multi national ladies around the globe if that’s the type of woman you want

It isn't the end of the world, if you have to move to a nearby country in SEA. See the positive things!
When I came to Thailand 18+years ago I made up my mind that money invested was money i was prepared to lose that has been always the same as none of us know where we stand as governments chop and change the rules at the click of a finger . Yes I have a beautiful beach property by way of a company if it all went belly up I would lock the place up or rent out at a very modest price and move on to the Philippines where my U.K. pension would be increased at the current rate by £30+ per week as far as I am concerned it is the value of the beach land and not the two properties that are on the land and in time when my time has come to meet my maker my two adult grandchildren Brother and Sister will inherit all my possessions both here in Thailand and the U.K. all that is needed in Thailand is that the Company account are kept up to date on a yearly basis that’s unless someone knocks on my door with an offer I cannot refuse that happened with my last Thai property .
