Brick Top replied to Hanaguma's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No such luck for me in Phuket, also still about 1.7 million sat n that EZ account getting 1.5% but although i have a tax id , SCB were paying interest every 6 months, June and December they are stopping the 15% tax again after telling me in August they won't. Now they have since October started paying the interest every month with no tax deducted but in December decided to not pay me any interest instead they took the tax out . I have been back to the bank to find out why but to date they can not give me an answer, i have received 3 calls from the call center about but still no explanation, still ongoing -

Not for me it didnt , read my post immigration insisted on seeing copys of every page of my bank book and my EZ savings account did not have a bankbook amongst other problems ie no yearly bank statement only monthly -

The best place to put tge money us in a Krungsri Mai Thai Dee account it pays just 1%. If you listen to the other posters in here that tell you to use a SCB EZ account then its bad advice. The EZ account does pay 1.5% , i used it 2 years ago and my Visa extension was not renewed and caused me to have to leave the country and enter again snd restart the process. The reason being , the SCB EZ account does not come with a bank book which Immagration insisted on me giving them copys of . I went backward and forward to the bank and immigration several times but could not sort out this issue. Also the with SCB EZ account , you can not get a printout of a combined 12 month bank statement . The statements are issued month by month so i had to print out 12 seperate monthly statement which Imagration again rejected. -

Landlord spraying for termites inside the house... Is this normal?
Brick Top replied to bamboozled's topic in Chiang Mai
Most of the Termites in Phuket are Sub Terariam , so they are under the property in a nest buried in the soil. Once you get a termite infestation its difficult to get rid off and they normally come to spray every month. All quite normal to spray the all the wood and base boards , if you dont then within 6 months termites will eat everything even the gypsum ceilings. I went to the Philippines once for a month , when I came back home to Phuket Termites had totally destroyed my new 320,000 baht kitchen. -
The best and cheapest way is to take a hot chick from a bar and have sex with her 3 times then refuse to pay her . Then you can practice all those martial art moves on her as she chases you around with a beer bottle in her hand

I did exactly what your intending and as soon as I received the new Visa extension I stopped transferring the 65,000 every month. The following year I just showed them the required proof of the 800,000 in my bank and like you I had also had it in my bank for all the time I had been transferring the 65,000. There were no problems for me and this was at Phuket immigration. The thing is that now I am in January going to start the 65,000 transfers into Thailand , to enable me to get the Visa extension in February 2025. I really myself am almost certain that they won't tax us on the 65,000 income method and I am going to send the 800,000 back out to the UK in May 2024 . The reason for ne is I now prefer to have the 800,000 earning 4.5% interest in the UK

Good answer , I agree

The exact same thing happened to me in Phuket just after I used an ATM. I told her more or less the same as you did , I hung around a bit , then I saw her meet up with her foreign boyfriend , so definitely a scam to get free money in my case.

Misstating Condo Sale Price
Brick Top replied to Fortunateson's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Just go with the land office appraisal value which will almost definitely be much lower than the sale price , normally at least 50% lower , otherwise your going to end up paying a lot more in transfer tax if your contributing to that in the contract such as 50/50. -
I have thought hard about your idea. This is what I would do , tell her to go to a bank and get a bank loan or mortgage on her house. Then you pay the installments on the bank loan. This way she gets her lump sum money and you get the protection of if anything goes wrong you just stop paying the installments. Then all you have lost is the monthly payments you had made which would only be the simalar to renting a place . There is no point in you trying to buy the house because although you can register the house in your name you cant register the land its built on in your name. So even if you leased the land from her for a maximum of 30 years. Imagine the problems if you split up , your house sat on her land to messy.

Would you use a driverless taxi?
Brick Top replied to Chris Daley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I was at a bar last night in Patong and I saw a driverless Tuk Tuk go past chased by 3 Thai men , apparently the driver had stopped for a piss and left the handbrake off
