Think of yourself !!! Stupid and unethical liar Trump + Vance need followers like you.

Isn't it crazy that we Farangs must make a monthly money transfer of ~65.000 THB, 800.000 THB within a year, to receive a Visa for 1 year, if not married with a Thai. But the Srettha government will tax us already with much lower money transfers to Thailand. It seems they need the Farang-Money to finance their expensive programs – Landbridge from Ranong to Chumpon, the Digital Wallet system (with an income below 70.000 THB monthly !!!), the list goes on. This would be the amount, if you are married. Not married gives you a free money transfer of 500.000 THB (500.000 ./. 60.000). You could add a tax free amount of health insurance. But only, if you pay the insurance to a THAI company; a very friendly allowence (irony). Now let's do the mathematic in the case of a single farang without a Thai insurence: (I use the VISA-rates of today (withpout any fees) for a transfer of ----> 500.000THB =in US $ = exchange rate: 35.200035 = 14.156,27 US$ 500.000THB = in GBP = “““ : 44.750,29 = 11.173,05 GBP 500.000THB = in EURO = ““““ : 38,505940 = 12.985,01 € All money transfers, higher than mentioned before, would be taxed income. 500.000 THB means a monthly transfer of more than ~41.667 THB would be taxed. Because the Thai system does not have something like a social system, I support the 2 children of my life partner including her grandchildren by at least 40.000THB per month. (we are not married). Both children have lost their jobs, because of the bad economic situation. If the DTA (Double Tax Agreement) wouldn't work, they also would punish me for supporting her children and her grandchildren. What a shame for the ruling government.

I did not yet read any comment about DTA = Double Tax Agreement. The Thai- German DTA (in German, English and Thai language) contains the following Article 18 (2): (Thailand has to respect it !!! ) 😉

Complete shizophrenia, typical for most of the US-REPs! Many many US-Americans innocently have lost their life, because of the dangerous weapon policy of their home country! This was supported at best by the NRA (National Rifle Association) ..... of course by money. The policy is the real reasen. As so many US people have been killed by private arms, NO problem. Now Trump has been hit in the ear... oh what a crime 😀.

I also want an airport in our village of the district Pang Mapha. It's awful to drive 4 hours to the Chiang Mai airport through the mountains.

Did these stupid buffaloes consider the yearly smoky season in this area ???

The question remains: If, I repeat IF, they have my passport number in their IT-system, does the Thai bureaucracy have any datas of my passport collected? Especially which IMO is in charge of my yearly prolonging of staying in Thailand? And again, if the TRD would have to do it, it would loose a giant lot of time for checking each ATM withdrawel. Maybe they would risk a IT-breakdown. And I doubt, if they are able, to work successfully with it. Consider the 90-days-reporting. How many farangs did they catch for missing this reports? Nearly zero, although this was the official reason for introducing it. In the media you can read of a lot of farang-criminals, who didn't report for many years. OMG, what a successful system 555.

The same probleme as I have written just before: even no high tech machine is able to "report" to the responsible authority/TRD. I.e.: I have my home in Bangkok, but withdraw money from an ATM in Chiang Mai or anywhere else. Where will it report to? I should add, my ATM-card is from a Bank in a "farang-state"

but, but .... my farang passport does not show them, where I stay in Thailand!! Result: for every money transfer (by ATM) they would have to ask the "special" Thai office for "where to report to" because of the stamps (numbers) in your passport! A very time consuming job.

...hm. and the modern technology is already able to deduct the real/right amount of the tax by the ATM??? 5%, 10% ..... or 35% like a soothsayer ??? The amount of the tax-percent is only visible after the end of thre year ! That seems impossible for me. If they would do it, we, the farangs, would ask the offices for the tax return in the following year for many, many ATM withdrawels!!!! OMG, what a mountain of work for the tax offices. And don't let me think about their competence.

Maybe not 🙂. But surely with Trumps criminal character, including tax avoiding. Cooking the books for hush money to silence a whore at the time, when Melania just had given birth to a Trump child. And don't forget, this was just in front of the November 2016 election in the USA to hide his abhorrent character. The sad thing, so may US people don't mind this moron, even here in the forum!

If "the fraudster tried to use 2 other credit cards", then there is my question: cards issued by the same bank??? Is YES, then they shloud surch the fraudster in the bank of your account. Or maybe in the area of the company printing these cards.

It seems you don't know ANYTHING about the real reasons of "34 charges" !

When i go down to the village or market, sometimes people ask me: "Sabai dee mai" (do you feel okay?) My answer: "Mai sabai dee" (i don't feel well) Then they ask me "Tamlai?" (why?) My answer: "Mai mee satang!" (I don't have money) Result: laughing = because I stay in LoS (land of smiles)

Very interesting for German Taxpayers, living in Thailand: -> DTA in English https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Content/DE/Standardartikel/Themen/Steuern/Internationales_Steuerrecht/Staatenbezogene_Informationen/Laender_A_Z/Thailand/1968-07-26-Thailand-Abkommen-DBA-Gesetz.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1 (or google: Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen zwischen Deutschland und Thailand) = DTA ........ This document is written in German language and beside (parallel to) it in English language; and even in Thai language below boths). General result: German rents and pensions are free of Thai tax !!! (artikel 18 ff.) But there are special exceptions. Try to read and understand the legal language 😊 <----->

That's nonsense. Already since some hours we have at least thin rain here in the valley of Pang Mapha, Mae Hong Son Province. The same as within the last 2 weeks! The Google weather forecast has predicted this for today, the last 2 weeks and the coming week. It's not strong rain, but at least "5 drops". My word for thin, but not a strong rain. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=weather+soppong+thailand

Poll maker: please tell me your wishes .... and you will the receive your wanted results

Yes, that's sad. I'm very happy (and lucky) to be able to use the plane (Air Asia Thailand) from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin, without any stop. And very cheap too, if you book the ticket some time before the departure day. By this way you are avoiding all the bumps and sh@t-holes plus the traffic jam on the annoying trip through Bangkok.

Why don't we read the name/owner of the passanger van ??? Would be interesting, perhaps.

It's a pitty that the MFP is at risk of dissulution - for a ridicolous reason. Making a putsch is like nothing - in the military dominated government. In other (democratic) states that would be punished to stay in the prison - for life time. TiT.

Who payed for EINSTEIN ? Who payed for all those Nobel prize winners? I guess nearly all of these extremely intelligent prize winners have been independend scientists.

That's the stupid and idiotic system in the USA: - You can be elected with millions of lower votes than your opponent ! - Then no surprise that idi@ts like Trump could be chosen as POTUS. This kinky sytem allowed it. OMG - what a democratic system . And with the 2-party system - it will never change. The REPs in power will not want to do this. The DEMs in power - the same.

If I were an US-American, I would have a hat with a strong light green color with TMANGA Trunp Makes America Not Great Again !!!!

Hillary is right. If the USA voters elect this criminal again, then the USA is the LoS again for me - the Land of Stupids. LoS is proven already by the fact, that a man with a high minority of votes can be elected as POTUS as it happened in 2016. Incredible stupid and not a democratic style! And don't let me talk about the fact, that a POTUS can decide, who is the judge in the highest court of a democratic country. The party membership seems to be more important than a member with neutral knowledge of the law. The judicary the 3rd power in a state? How ridiculous in the USA.

Your comment confirms, that you are not able to read and understand what I had written. It's your mental problem, not mine. My experience: if people dont have enough mg in their brain, then they start looking at write errors, conceiling their understanding or knowledge!
