This is something I thought about also. But since they are supposedly targeting all income, not just foreigners, suspect they will be trying to tax Thais too, even the poor. They have zero problem or issues in further oppressing their citizens. Despite their BS, this is not to narrow wealth inequality...but rather another greedy money grab to fatten the already obese and corrupt coffers/grifters in charge. Very little, if any, will ever trickle down to the poor and needy. The government leaders and elite will further prosper.

I wouldn't relocate even if the worst case scenario plays out. I certainly wouldn't like it and would bash this place even more than already do ????...but it wouldn't alter or affect my lifestyle a whit. Thailand has been my home for more than 2 decades. It's a 75% love/25% hate relationship, but very happy and comfortable here with a great lady, great food, great travel, good health, good weather and good times. I'm staying.

He's not.

Alcohol is not meant to be ingested into the human body. In general, it's not good for us. That said, I love to drink and do so everyday. Mainly beer, wine, scotch...sometimes all in 1 night❗Rum and/or tequila is good occasionally too. Everyone is a bit different tho. My father is a hardcore drinker. A real Pro. Mass quantities of beer and bourbon for his entire adult life. Gets totally hammered every single day. I can never keep up with him and I'm no lightweight. Haha He just turned 93 last month. ????

Bought a quality king-sized latex topper, with zippered cover, from Lazada a couple years ago. One of the best purchases ever. Two friends were so impressed that they also purchased the same one. There are different depths. I got the 2 inch.

You're giving them way too much credit. They can't even keep track of expats residing at the same address, whom are annually extended (some providing a map!), every 90-day reported, excessive copies of address, in need of countless certicates of residence for every little thing, home visits...and a smartcar❗???? So they can't possibly ever keep track of tens of thousands of ATM transactions by every foreigner...some residents, some not...and then track those transactions back to precisely the correct resident...whom they've already lost track of, despite their endless reporting requirements, countless copies and certificates. They're a joke. Inept and incapable.

I don't wai anybody ????

...the policy appears to have three specific targets: residents trading in foreign stock markets through foreign brokerages, cryptocurrency traders, and Thais who have been exploiting a loophole that allowed them to bring. foreign earnings into the country tax-free after keeping it in an offshore account for more than a calendar year.

Yeeeah...That's exactly what everyone's already imagining❗

Been reading these daily but Jomtien has hardly had any measurable rainfall the entire month of September. I know many Isaan provinces are getting plenty, but not down here Jom/Patts. Dry as a desert bone yet humid as hell.

Juggs Forever❗????

Because they haven't a clue. They can't even buy one. Never have...never will. Total imbeciles running this country. Always just premature oral ejaculation, then retract or rectify later due to their own misunderstanding (ineptitude) and lack of forethought/foresight.

Couldn't tell it in Suk/Asok area of BKK. Just spent 5 days there and thought the national lingo had been changed to Chinese❗????

I, for one, would be elated. Trump too. Better world immediately without the likes of these two malignant humanity cancers.

Thais prefer Bep-ZEE❗????

I give ya until...10, 9, 8, 7... Good luck.

Boil lanced from his phony bedridden dumass❗????

Yep. He'd fit right well in here❗????

I agree, they're all empty here already in Jomtien and parts of Pattaya. This place is wildly overbuilt and ripe for some comeuppance. Hope so❗

Near everyone, everywhere, in any capacity is inept here. Apologies to those who'll claim I'm bashing. JUST CALLIN 'EM AS I SEE 'EM. And I've seen 'em for 30 years now.

Another Typically Thailand ill-considered, greedy money grab by the same ol' inept nitwits. Different names and faces, same ol' stooges. If you're really so concerned about financial inequality, then open the vast Thailand coffers and lead by example. Eliminate the caste system. Provide gainful employment with livable wages...not "slave labor" wages. And MAN UP and do it from within. Don't do it off the backs of retired foreigners already spending all their hard earned money here. Take responsibility FOR ONCE.

Yep cuz guaran-effin-teed,..we...none of us...ever know the full story. Don't care how long we (you) been here nor how long we've (you) been with (y)our Tirak/wife/gf/partner/whatever...we (including YOU) NEVER know what's going down behind (y)our backs. Never...EVER. May think you do, but you're only fooling yourself. Word. ????

And be required to pay for 2 seats

I know. Thx. Glad u have finally realized it❗

I agree and the US should start right at home with The Tyrant Creature of Mar-a-Lagoon❗????
