It looks bad for Farangs when they get hit from their HISo family to pay the taxes since it is going to his wife long after he is dead

A new Con

well i won't be paying for any of her family's taxes lol!

as for paying tax on the house in her name its not much different from paying tax on the car in my name. our joint incomes end up in the same pot and our outgoings go out the same way

"Pleading for public understanding, the prime minister explained that the government would need funding to implement several infrastructure projects and if it could not collect enough taxes such projects would not be possible."

so i have to pay 6K baht every year so a bunch of hi-so's get a new train set to play with?!

thanks a bunch

* double post *

kind of cute listening to everyone getting defensive over their schools

hmmm i sense another Venetian failboat on the horizon

Venetian was OK when it opened especially with Villa but 400THB entrance to shop..forget it...and that's for Thais also.

went to villa today and its gone bust. shame. on the plus side the original one has marmite in again

Got a call from a Thai woman friend i have known for years this afternoon who lives on Samui. Can not discuss much of the details but she was invited to dinner with Mr. Influential when the shooting took place. As i have mentioned before a number of mafias are in control of the island both Thai and foreign. So if you have no problems supporting your local mafia continue visiting the Full Moon Party, Koh Samui and Koh Tao. I won,t get near the place. My Thai friends and family understand this and we meet elsewhere.

I love it when people who don't really know anything try to give the impression they know it all :-)

Most major businesses on Samui, such as the major hotels, are owned and run by people in Bangkok. I am sure there are some local and foreign wannabe gangster types, but they don't control anything worth mentioning.

and who do you think owns the land that these businesses rented and built on lol

The campaign covers a variety of topics, including "Thai Garland", "Thai Dance", "Thai Food" and

"Speaking Thai Language"

ED visa holders will be happy to hear that.

rewriting the overtly sexist marriage visa rules would be a start General

lost count of how many beaches i've seen looking like that picture

apparently massive blowback in the general population on social and traditional media according to my wife. the thais are not happy a "tax the rich" policy quickly morphed into a tax (nearly) everyone policy and rightly so

gonna need floating skyscrapers in Bangkok within a few decades

hmmm i sense another Venetian failboat on the horizon

cue the resignations in 3.. 2.. 1..

get a tourist visa, buy a TE or start a company and get a non-B

or try another asian country

i hear Bali is nice

in the west its considered stalking in asia it's just normal courting

says it all really

simple, if he threw the bag and he wasn't wearing gloves it will have his fingerprints on it

Interesting, how about land used for residential purposes but owned in a company name?

Commercial or residential I wonder?

2nd properties (buy to lets) also

yes, from "Germany and everybody else" would be a start

bottomline - Thailand is not a place to invest, especially as long as the government is a military dictatorship and the courts are a corrupt, politicized farce.

Just rent. It's cheap and you won't lose a bunch of $.

most houses cost about 10 years rent money to buy so there is a large incentive to buy or lease

This is clever is you dont have the money to go home just start working next to any immigration office/police station soon you will get deported .FREE

I would carry a bag of lemons just in case and say im dropping them off for the wife also

Maybe hates his wife and its all part of the plan .Sorry telak but i just got deported!

great plan but they lock you in a detention centre until you can pay for your own flight home. some have been in there for years
