It’s only the dumb humans. White want to be dark ( tan) and darkies want to be white. Reality tv has created “ I ain’t good enough, ever”. Easy now to SELL, SELL, SELL 

I only hear “ govt stupid” or “ govt baaa”. Which I disagree with. I think it’s the reverse. Sheep get slaughtered.

Next year I'm sure a lot of Thais will be forced to sell their properties. Thais are into heavy debts and at some point due to a crushed economy from covid, many of the highly indebted Thai people will be forced to sell land and houses. I'm sure many rich Thais are already preparing to buy up these properties cheaply (especially land). 

Debt is the time bomb but it’s a damn slow fuse

The Wild West...here we come

No money. No honey. But short time you’ll be ok. Because all farang rich. If you latch on to a decent girl, you’re in luck. They are around. But scarce. Like everywhere. 

Massage at the temple near Wat PhraSingh is just 120 thb and consistently good. When times are tough, the tough get going. Maybe their baht should not be so stinking tough. Beating gravity! 

Buy Land in Thai name, do a Userfruct, Superfreezee, 30x30x30 lease , registered with Land Office, Power of Attorney with Thai name , Signed Sale doc , not dated.

or LC . 
house can be in foreigners name.

Rebuke is mild. England forgets it’s no longer that world power it was .

we may not agree with China or pretend to look down on them, but I look up to them , if for anything, How they crawled from the ground up to becoming the World’s no 2 power and threatening the waning power of the no 1 , now led by a lying clown . Within 50 years. 

Buts it’s a Democratic Party hoax, cried Trump, praising China at that time.

 Read “ The making of Trump”by Republican journalist David Cay Johnston  . Facts and figures . Amazing con man. Pulled of the Presidency ! 

Hah, signs of a desperate all brawn and no brains clown. Good on ya, Americanos. Dumb Dems or a Loser. Don’t envy you ! 

Bolton, a die hard Republican , served under 6 Presidents, claims the country is doomed. Trump , unfit for office or the dumb Democrats. . 

Patience. There’s a crash due , then buy REITs and SET index. KBank and CIMB have REITs that have returned double digits last 5 years. 
for now, I’d be appreciating the 1% in safe ready cash . Cash will be King soon.

It also depends from where you are. If you are swedish like me. We have a double-taxation-agreement between our two countries who clearly says that "WHERE YOU EARN YOUR MONEY THAT IS WHERE YOU SHOULD PAY YOUR TAXES"....

 

I.e. my pension is taxable of course in Sweden....

Hi, Australia also has a Double Tax Agreement with Thailand. And I am taxed an extra 5 % in Australia which goes to the Thai Tax Office, through the Aust Tax Office. 
this only applies to personal income, not pensions or superannuation income or company profits/ income.

It will depend upon the immigration office where you apply. They should accept it but it would of been best to of kept it at 400k baht until you apply for your extension.

I assume you will have proof of 12 months of 65k baht or more of transfers from abroad,

I am doing the same . Switching from annual 800K to monthly income 65K .

My agent told me I had to keep the 400K in the bank until I get my next extension. 

I see this all the time. I scratch my head wondering how brain dead they must be to just go into the flow of traffic without looking. I have even experienced them looking the other way when riding across a one way street. 

Moderna share price has sky rocketed on the hope of a vaccine. Is this for real about the Thai vac? Or is it just vacume?

Master of insults. Great at something!

That may be true up to a point, but Thai men, particularly salesmen, have a habit of touching you on  your arm, I am fed up brushing them off.

Maybe hoping the “ whiteness” rubs off on to them. 

It’s a combo of not shaking hands ( wai) , wearing face masks ( a huge no no for westerners) and maybe Naam plaa.

The pin is nearing the bubble. Worldwide. And won’t be long before the 2 meet. Pop!
Take it from Buffet. Has the runs on the board, unlike his detractors who are in exuberance now. 
as for most Thais, Mai pen rai. They know how to live on a bowl of soup.
