why?

Aroung 90 percent of expats in Thailand are complete and utter a**holes. The problem is identifying the ten percent who are not. Most people pretend to be nice. There is an overwhelming number of toxic, manipulative, SELFISH and machiavelian expats in Thailand. And pattaya is a hotspot of course, because most people are there because they think prostitution is OK. The general mindset being if something suits them and they enjoy it then its something they should do etc

are you sure?

Yes, at Hua Seng Heng and a few other places

Years ago there was a way to make a virtual debit card in kasikorn bank internet banking (not app). You could make multiple cards and they could be used for online purchases and the virtual card numbers could be cancelled whenever you want, for security. They stopped that service I think. Then it apparently switched to being only available from the phone app but some different fucntionality? Now it doesnt seem to be available at all? Does anyone know how i can get virtual debit card numbers. I want to shop online for singble purchases then i like to cancel the card for security . Thanks

They wont refuse or give you a bad price.

I will get a receipt when i sell the gold. However i no longer have the purchase receipts from years ago. So i am worried about capital gains tax

Thanks I know there is no VAT on gold. But what about capital gains?

Thanks everyone for the above comments however I cant find any information confirming that its tax free , from any web search from any source actually. There is no VAT for sure. But what about capital gains tax?

EV Much better Way fewer moving parts More reliable More power (usually) We purchase electricity from the grid because its much cheaper to generate electricity in a central location (power station) that it would be at home with a generator Same principle for cars. Why generate power on the fly through combustion as its more efficient to generate it at power station - even if that power stations is fossil fuel.

I am thinking to sell around 2000g of gold which I have had for many years. When I purchased the gold I didnt keep the receipts. When I sell it the gold shop will give me a cashiers cheque Is this taxable in Thailand? Since I dont have the original receipt, how do i show what is profit (capital gain) and what is not? Is capital gain on gold taxed the same way as income? Thanks

This article says effective 2025 https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/06/05/thai-taxman-now-plans-to-tax-foreigners-on-all-income-whether-it-is-remitted-to-the-kingdom-or-not/ The Thaiger article says 2024. It cant be 2024. They cant change fro a territorial based tax system to a worldwide taxation half-way through the year it makes no sense at all. Just the Thaiger spreading fear and clickbait articles as usual!

Haha yea How can they change it for current year halfway through the year?

"However, this rule will be revised again, effective from 2024..." It seems very unlikely they can change the tax laws for the current year, half way through the current year. Surely its a typo and means 2025?

4g. HOwever my other phone also shows 4g but speed is over 50mb. 4g can go in excess of 50mb
