I was trying to find something nice, short and downloadable... but OK, from the horse's mouth then (so to speak): 1.Taxable Person Taxpayers are classified into “resident” and “non-resident”. “Resident” means any person residing in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand. Source: https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html So what is a tourist that's staying over 180 days in a calendar year in Thailand not? A "person"? Identifies as what then? As for tax number. How do you pay tax in Thailand if you don't have Thai tax number?

Looking at the title and the photo at the top... I guess army wouldn't mind getting them in early...

PWC and Bangkok Government must both be wrong, then. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/thailand/individual/residence https://iao.bangkok.go.th/storage/files/Personal Income Tax.pdf

Just left. With return ticket in 3 months which I never used. But then again, I was 20.

There isn't. But even as a tourist, when staying over half a year in the country, you'd need to apply for tax number, become Thailand tax resident, declare and start paying taxes here. I'd bet you didn't do that.

In the suggestions in linked article, there were many of the socialistic countries' policies, but the difference is that in those, either taxes are high and more or less everyone pays their share, or income is negotiated in net salary, so (high) deductions aren't even visible. In Thailand, other than some middle class, barely anyone pays taxes, so to get such a scheme going, the rich and the poor would have to be taxed. Putting more burden on middle class will break it and cause even a larger gap. But just think of who is in power. Are they ever going to go out on their limb to tax themselves to finance this? In your dreams.

They are quite loud, sometimes flying solo, sometimes in groups of about 10-15. Anyone knows what's going on? In many years this is the first time I see/hear them.

With STDs it's much better to be negative than positive...

Very important news for Pattaya expats then

Yeah, at least this one has a red glowing coil inside. I did that on induction plate!

This is video of it and it clearly shows that bus was not slowing down which it should from hitting others. So finding out it wasn't brake failure isn't much of a surprise...

Of course there is one way to do it which costs nothing - make your own digital currency out of thin air, let people trade among themselves but don't allow them to exchange it for THB until 5 years later or something like that. By the time it's 5 years either it's another government in charge or currency implodes and is worth nothing.

If you qualify for the annual extensions, you could. But if you don't, then you'd have to stay on visas issues from outsite the country. For most foreigners, majority of requirements are the same with or without annual extension, when you renew work permit, except the salary requirements, which are 50/60k per month minimum to qualify for annual extensions: https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?p=14714 (first one at the top): In the case of business necessity, for example, the applicant must stay to carry out work for a company or partnership Criteria for Consideration The alien must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (NON-IM). The alien must earn an income per the attached Table of Income (Annex A). The business must have a paid-up registered capital of no less than Baht 2 million. Said business must have submitted its financial statements as at the end of its fiscal year for the past two accounting years which have duly been audited and certified by a certified public accountant or a tax auditor, to prove that the business is sufficiently secure with actual and continuous operation, according to the guidelines for consideration of business status concerning the actual and continuous operation attached hereto (Annex B). Said business needs to hire aliens. Said business must have a ratio of one alien employee per four permanent Thai employees. The following businesses shall be exempted from the Criteria (3), (4), and (5), and the ratio of Thai employees specified under Criteria (6), shall be reduced to one alien employee per one permanent Thai employee: (a) International trade business (representative office) (b) Regional office (c) Overseas company (branch office) Documents to be submitted Application form TM.7, photograph 4×6 cm., application fee is 1,900 (Application must be made in person) Copy of applicant’s passport (copy of passport with your photo, last arrival stamp, Re-entry Permit stamp, Departure card (TM.6) and last extend visa) Certificate of employment prepared in accordance with the form prescribed by the Immigration Bureau (Sor.Tor.Mor.1) – A table showing the numbers of all foreigners employed by the company, also their salary on monthly and annually basis, and their total salary, is additionally required.

If these documents were issued by a foreign government, they must be certified by such foreign embassy. Remark: Documents required for permission of temporary stay no. 8- 11 must be certified true copy by authorized officer of government unit concerned

That's one part of it. The other part of it is how do you prove tax gain amount when it's not a single purchase and selling... example: You buy 100 of stock x at say 100$ on day 1 year 1, paying 10,000$ You buy 100 of stock x at say 150$ on day 1 year 2, paying 15,000$ You buy 200 of stock x at say 200$ on day 1 year 3, paying 40,000$ So basically right now you have 400 stocks with median price of 162.5$. But now, the stock price is 150$ and you sell it. Technically, you're losing 12.5$ per one, but say you only sell 100 of them. You get 15,000$ for them. Against which in the list is capital gain calculated? Average price? Purchase price of which one? It would be 5k capital gain against first lot, 0 gain on second lot, and significant loss on the third lot. I haven't got this clarified anywhere. In fact one of the posters here was claiming that I would get taxed on the whole amount... So in this case, if I sold 100 stocks at 15k$, I'd get taxed (let's assume it comes into 30% bracket), 5k$ in tax in Thailand, which would wipe out entire gain on first lot. That can't be right. Is there anyone here who knows how capital gain is established in such cases, willing to share?

Who cares. Bear looks happy!

There's more to this story. The reason was that despite trying very hard, he could not demonstrate that the bell works!

You made a mistake in line 2! It's Y not Z!!

Actually even for pedestrians, sidewalks/pavements are often blocked and require stepping on the road to get around the power poles, traffic signs, trees, potholes, overbridge stairs, etc. Maybe all this is designed by people who never had to step out of their 4 wheeled status displays...
