An exception might be tax benefits, which currently exist for RMF and those new LTF replacements (forgot the name, SPF I think they are called). Even if you want to take those, I wouldn’t put all my money there, as they are only investing in Thai equities, and you don’t want to put all your money into one tiny market (they only give you tax benefits up to a certain amount anyway). 
 

The super savings fund (SSF), replacement for the LTF allows investment in international equities. I have one from SCB with tracks the S&P500 (albeit with SCB adding their own extra layer of fees over the underlying fund)

It's annoying but I'd give it a bit longer. Someone sent me a document from the UK using international track & signed last month. I had to wait 2 weeks between the "leaving the UK" and "arrived at Laksi" status. I had assumed it had been lost.

Hello

I am considering submitted my permanent residency application status this year. I have been on extensions of stay based on employment for 4 years now and have submitted tax returns for each of these years. I understand that the process usually takes at least one year. My question is what happens if I leave my job during this period? I am considering taking some time out of employment, and in such an event would change my visa to be based on marriage. Is this going to cause problems for my pending PR application or they only really look at your status up to and including the type the application is submitted?

As I have only been married for one year I wouldn't be able to apply for PR on these grounds.

Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon

My business requires the services of a foreign consultant (British national) who is currently retired and living in Bangkok, to facilitate the establishment of a new contract. However we do not have a sufficient number of Thai nationals to employ this person on our payroll and apply for a work permit for him. I understand that we could arrange a consultancy agreement to pay him and that we would not be deemed to be employing him providing he only comes to our office for meetings. Can anyone with experience of an arrangement like this verify this?

Even if we as a business are acting fully lawfully, is the consultant exposed to personal risk for not having a work permit? Is it even possible to work as a consultant in Thailand given the very nature of the job is that you are not working for a single employer?

Many thanks in advance

I would be interested to know if the 30 day extension runs from the date you apply for it or whether it is added onto the end of your 60 day period. If the latter, how far in advance can I go to immigration to apply for the extension?

What documents do I need to bring to obtain this? I have a tourist visa and am renting a condo for 4 months.

You need the application form, one picture and copy of passport picture page, visa and TM card. Furthermore copy of your renting contract.

But you can not get it on a tourist visa. What do you need it for?; because you can also not buy a motorbike or car (or get a driving license) on a tourist visa.

Thanks - was hoping to get a driving licence in Chiang Mai. I have heard mixed reports of whether or not this was possible on a tourist visa and was planning on giving it a try to see what happens...

Is anyone aware of whether or not this temple is currently accessible to visitors from the Thai side?

Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on this?

I undertook a search for this bar in November last year but as nobody I asked had ever heard of it I assumed I have made a mistake in the name (knowing deep down that I hadn't). Since I stumbled across this message my interest has been reawakened. I have started asking around at places near the night bazaar but to no avail.

Thanks
