I think 15% is not so bad. It means your money is legit. You are paying your taxes in this country. Your tax records are all ok. Your money in your thai account is legal. no red flags. 15% is a no brainer. If you sell it on an exchange in your own country, for example, oz..... then use your Wise app to convert into thai and spend that way here, you will still have tax issues in your home country. And I think it will be a lot higher than 15% Can you keep us updated bc it affects us all. I asked my accountant and she said dont report it blah blah. She is clueless I think

Residents refusing to pay maintenance in gated village.
advancebooking replied to giddyup's topic in Pattaya
I think it would be a complete nightmare living in a gated community with uptight farang and selfish middle class thai's with their barking rat dogs. Not for me. -

Duh. Its worth $usd 44,310.90 at this very minute. Your comment makes you look foolish. How do you feel about yourself. You could have doubled your money -

Whats your profit now? good on you for taking the risk. -
They are not married. We know they spend most of their time in bangkok. If say for example, a big gas explosion happens and it spreads to neighbouring building/s then its better to have 2 people who can potentially pay the liability rather than one. Thats why I want him on the contract again. I know he has money. I dont know about her. She might be just renting her bkk restaurants just like she is renting my building. ie no real assets.

We bought an old 3 level building 5 yrs ago and renovated it. Rented it out on a 3 + 3 yr contract for a restaurant. . We rented it to a thai couple who both seem to be high sot. He owns a small hotel and runs another restaurant. She runs 2 restaurants. After 1 yr they asked to re do the contract just in her name. We decided to allow this and they paid the attorney fee. Theres a clause in the contract thats a bit vague but states they have to pay all damage if any. I put in a clause that if any staff or customer dies at the building then they are liable not us. I was suspicious that he took his name off the contract and later thought maybe its because he has a lot of assets and maybe she doesnt. We noticed neither of the tenants are ever at the building. I drive past all the time as its close to where we live. Also at night I look in when driving past and never see them. All the staff live in the rooms at the building. Last year we were worried about the risks of a fire so installed a hard wired fire alarm system (smoke and heat sensors throughout). The first 3 yrs is coming up for renewal. I would rest easy at night knowing a normal thai family running any business that doesnt involve gas cooking would be better. I suppose Im worried about all the staff and no supervision by the boss. Its a bit of a pain finding new tenants. Existing tenants pay the high rent on time. Building seems to be ok since I last checked 8 months ago. The workers seem ok when we go to the restaurant. They seem to be mature to be honest. Do you think I should just renew them? I was thinking of telling them I will renew on the basis of doing a new contract and he has to add his name back. And a clause stating any fire damage to neighbouring buildings will be liable for them as well not us. Its not in the contract at the moment and I think our building insurance policy will not cover this. thanks

Sometimes Im bored during the day living here in LOS. Please name your top 2 with a brief note as to why Mine are as follows: Websites: 1. thetimes . co . uk Been reading it for years. Although its now heading towards being a tabloid I still find it good for British news 2. dailyhodl. Good for crypto news/ updates. With a bitcoin spot ETF coming soon I think everyone should be reading up about bitcoin and buying some. Podcasts: 1. Diary of CEO. Amazing interviews with many different people. Learning a lot about many health topics, for example. 2. Bangkok podcast. American and Canadian guy doing a weekly podcast. Mostly Thai related. Highly recommended Youtube: 1. Thai Expat Daily show: Irish guy giving excellent commentary on Thai related topics. He's not afraid to give his opinion. He doesn't plagiarise news same as TNT. Worth listening to this guy. 2. Bankless: 2 bright guys discussing all things relating to crypto. Has to be the best crypto channel on youtube IMHO. One can learn a lot from these guys. Over to you.

You sound like you have no idea about thailand. The quality of drs here is really high. Had my colonoscopy done at Bumrungrad and hernia at bangkok hospital in the provinces. They have done each respective procedure thousands of times. I asked the hernia dr how many times he has done it. He said, its the only surgery he does everyday for many yrs. A flight back home is unnecessary.

You will not care much until bitkub suspend your account for not doing the KYC dip and chip verification on your passport. Oh no, your a foreigner.... they dont offer that service to farang. Account suspended. It will happen to you soon like everyone else. Did you try level 1 to 4 on Upbit. Everyone can do it no problem....

I got to level 4 really easy within a week and was about to reply to all these messages and then this website was down for a week. Now I can hardly remember what I did. But think I only uploaded my bank statment that I ordered via my phone app. It was all very easy dealing with them. Once my copy was rejected. They emailed me right away telling me what to do. I scanned it and tried again. Got to the next level. If this happened on bitkub it wouild be months of BS. Upbit is professional. Go for it.

Hi, To update you.... I basically got Level 4 on upbit in 1 week. In fact the whole process was done in a week from level 1 to 4. The level 4 verification is only for increasing the withdrawal limit from 2 million THB daily to 4 million THB daily. I have this now. Used the passport to do the dip and chip
