This is not what I was advised by a panel of tax specialists here at a Sasin (Chula) event. If you earn money in year 1 and are in Thailand for 180+days that same year, even if you remit the funds in a year you are not here for 180 days, you are still liable.

The liability is based on when you earn the money, not spend it. If you were a tax resident when you earned it, you are liable if you bring it here.

You seem to have missed the point I made very clearly in my original response: I only pee once an hour in the day and only 1-2 times per night. I get quality sleep. So thanks, but I am good. And again, I will take my advice from a Dr.

I do so because that is recommended. Every doctor I tell that to gives me there approval - tells me I am good patient! US army policy here was 'if you don't need to pee all the time, you ain't drinking enough. So a US airman told me. I don't take notes on output volume. And I try not to drink at night or I'll wake more frequently...

I pee every 40-60 minutes and it is clear. This is because I drink 3+ litres of water per day. Plain water, cold teas, and/or Singha soda water. I don't drink booze anymore - perhaps 1-2 measures per quarter... I taper my fluid intake in the evening so I only get up to pee 1-2 times. I am just shy of 60.

"If insured, as responsible people do, would that not pay for transport back home ? " Would it? Only if the insured opts for it. You assume all should or would, or perhaps that it would be automatically baked in. That sounds to me like you have never read the small print of the insurance you buy when on vacation. Obviously you do buy insurance - you are a responsible person right? Or are you making me assume now? "Nobody needs to be here, he's dead." Nice. Some people need closure. Some people want to see the location, talk to people who saw their loved ones last. You have, perhaps, an empathy deficit...

Back in 1994 there was a French consortium that proposed a trial of automated lights right downtown. I can't remember which area it covered, but it was large. Let's say Asoke to Rama 6 and Rama 4 to New Petchaburi. They got approval to install and show that automated lights that coordinated with each other offered a path to improvement. The system was installed and operated for a few months. Not only did the Police manually override its control of the lights, they said that gecko poop was shorting out the system and it was a fire hazard and unreliable. End of project! It might happen, it might help, but unless the footprint is big enough it will not be as effective because the areas outside of its control will back up cars into it. Hope springs eternal!

So what it true?

I am not an accountant... However, I would urge caution with the transfer from her to you. That can easily be construed by TRD as income. The 400K can come from anywhere, but again is likely to be taxable. Best leave it there all year to avoid its taxation.

Just FYI, the 180 days and the earning of funds are tied together. If you earn money in a year you are not here for 180 days, then the following year you can be here for 180+ and remit the funds tax-free. That is my understanding from various workshops I have attended in the last several months. Please confirm with an accountant, but I would bet a round Guinness that I remember it correctly.

Yes. You are allowed to send up to 20,000,000 Baht per year to your spouse without paying tax on it.

TRD does not care about the passport one carries, hence no mention. The rules have changed so that all adults in Thailand for 180 days or more per calendar year are required to file their tax statements. For foreigners who are sent, or send themselves money, those monies are taxable.

Where does it say he had no insurance? Nowhere - you dragged the thought out of a dark dank place. There are multiple levels of insurance and only a few ever buy the 'repatriate my dead body' option - especially at 28 years old. Do everyone a favour and keep your assumptions to yourself.

Can anyone share the location of this corner? Or just confirm that this is correct? https://maps.app.goo.gl/biKdpZAcvZQMVcHd7

My wife and I have two apartments listed on AirBnB. Most guests are a pleasure to host. However there are whiny complainers that game the system. We had one muppet who booked two months, got a discount because of that, then cancelled the second month yet expected the price per day to remain the same. When AirBnB charged him for 30 days at the original date, he unloaded on us about how we should hand over the difference as compensation for his inconvenience! He threatened us with bad reviews and when told that reviews were a contentious space here, accused us of threats, unloaded on the phone to AirBnB support and left a bad review at the last minute so we could not respond. However hard you may find it, there are people who actively aim to game the system to get free and discounted stuff.
