Careful, individual thought or pointing out the truth gets you on a list and soon, a reeducation camp. Next we'll be told to jump in the ocean before the land mass we are standing on tips over like the Guam nonsense. Climate change is the gift that keeps on giving agenda pushers and worse, sheeple. Somebody send in the jab drones I need another shot, make it two it's safe and effective you know, after all we are the science and it was tested thoroughly. Second thought, give me a family pack of tea for the whole family to enjoy together. Don't forget your boosters folks think about your neighbor and don't be a selfish Nazi denier. Question nothing do what we say we are a brotherhood and WE KNOW BEST. Or be labeled an extremist for your crimes, how dare you, how dare you said the 15 year old girl. AR AR AR! Said the trained seal. Smartest individual in the lot he is.

Come on man, ChatGPT is the smartest person ever except for my son Hunter....... Us lefties stick to together like the plague, Let's go Brandon said the crowd, so did uncle Joey. Best president ever!

A ham sandwich that's been indicted and one piece of cheese. Oh and a portable toilet so I can put my head in and flush from time to time removes the noise.

This is true. Finding the right person who knows this can be a challenge.

I've stayed at most of the hotels in and around Makati including the areas mentioned above. Used to go back and forth for a decade every month. In my experience Makati was much more centralized and more importantly, safer. I always warn others of the hazards of Manila and the Philippines in general. Some of the best pick pockets in the world next to the Spanish. Everything in Makati is walking distance and the hotels are quite nice. I did not like the quality of the hotels in Malate or the Fort (BCG). Near Makati is Greenbelt with an interesting freelance for extra curricular fun, good shopping and restaurants. Baguio is a beautiful alternative not often mentioned. The weather up there is brilliant on top of a mountain with awesome views, great place to take a date. You should look into using the bus system if you plan on going to Angeles City (Pampanga). It will save you a bundle as taxis from Manila to Angeles City are a rip off IMHO. From Angeles City you can either take another bus to Baguio, Subic Bay or jump on a flight in Clark (Angeles City) to any of the destinations mentioned above. Personally I like Cebu it's like a completely different country. The women are different too. Fun fact, when the Spanish first came to the Philippines about 500 hundred years ago, they would anchor the ship to go exploring. When they came back they discovered a lot of things missing. King Philip of Spain after learning of this dubbed the Philippines "the land of thieves". True historical fact. Along those lines there are some rather cool old Spanish garrisons in Cebu City and other historical sites all over the Philippines.

You need to open a business account after you get incorporated for tax reasons. In my experience with Thai lawyers, many will say they can deliver everything and end up doing either nothing or are entirely incompetent. Some end up costing you more in time or even penalties. This is why I mentioned them above. "Shop" for a good experienced lawyer. Best way is to ask a few people with a established businesses. Due diligence is the key and proper leg work. Things are certainly more integrated these days. You should definately look into the outsourcing route, this is common and scalable to your needs. They offer full service virtual offices too. Personally, I would not worry about liability based on what you have written. Much less stressful too as the paper work involved takes time and up to date accounting. I used to do it myself thus my knowledge. I had one of my managers fill out the required tax forms in Thai giving her the input and output (VAT) numbers. Many hire an accountant on retainer for this, not worth it IMHO.

Nothing wrong with giving days off at least for the government, it doesn't cost them anything and they can score some political brownie points. The holiday pay days have steadily risen over the three decades I've experienced having to pay double. They've added quite a few just in the last decade or so.

Good question, I know it can be a bit ambiguous. Let me qualify. Yes, a bond or fixed deposit account is not required for most types of businesses. Banking or finance sector related entities as an example are subject to being bonded in some fashion. Keep in mind I'm American, so those from other countries are subject to whatever laws of your locale. I'm referring to the treaty references above. The EU for example has some pretty rigid big brother policies.

That would depend on how you structure your cash flow but I get what you are saying. Online businesses and the revenue derived is commonly classified as "individual" income to forgo the hassle of incorporation. I've done it this way myself earning separate streams of income on that basis since 1995.

Remembering is now considered fake news or the new term "mal information". Soon to be outlawed as hate thinking. Eat that fake meat its good for you, trust our science or be labeled a "climate denier" (ain't that a cute phrase). Georacism coming soon. At least now you can say your a girl and get out of jail free. Get laid while you're locked up too, how good is that?

Always a pleasure never a chore. You might consider looking into outsourcing as an alternative business model or perhaps go by way of the digital nomad route. In my experience the latter is done 9 times out of 10. The above is really for liability concerns in high exposure environments. Outsourcing is a massive industry in the Philippines with turnkey solutions galore, perhaps this could be an option. Food for thought.

One statement from the FBI makes things "independently verifiable evidence". Everything the FBI says or writes is fact. Believe it or else right? Where have we seen this before in history? I wonder..... oh forgot that's not good "group" thinking. This reminds me of a rather brilliant quote by Mark Twain: “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” Good day sir, pat yourself on the back, you win hands down! Give the man on a thread based on a total fabrication and outright lie a prize! One he won't even address I might add.

And your believing everything the FBI writes or says is critical thinking? Questioning them is not allowed, ok, got it. You win!

I used to have a bottle of eye drops in my pocket almost at all times. I found most of them work quite well and are cheap as chips some better than others. Therefore I bought whatever was available and replenished the one that worked best for me. Mileage on this varies on an individual basis I would imagine.

So you are saying you work for the FBI gate keepers? My God man my conversation with you is done. Who made them gate keepers of truth, answer you! You discredit yourself my friend. No comment on the entire premise of this thread? I THOUGHT NOT!

Hello Donna. I can only speak from my experience. My father was in urgent need of a CT scan thus my knowledge of this topic. In my search for information, I found only certain facilities have the needed equipment. Furthermore it was not easy finding this information out. You need to ask the right questions, talk to the right person and most of all be patient. You will get conflicting information speaking to less qualified individuals. During my year long journey I learned the best thing to do is ask for the person in charge. More than likely you will find kindness and a professional attitude with your options. In other words, calling or asking at the information desk won't get the job done. The exact question you need to ask is "what hospitals have the equipment for a CT scan or MRI? Yes they are not cheap and sometimes there's waiting lists. In my case, I had to go to Chonburi Provincial Hospital. They have the facilities needed. There was two other places in Bangkok but in my case that was not an option. I hope this information serves you well and most importantly, you have a positive outcome.

Says you, therefore it must be truth? Please

To be clear. My previous comments on this thread hold water in any "thinking man's" head. I provide links and discredit the original poster clearly showing the lie this conversation is based on. Show me in the video I posted where the word "immediately" was said? One word proves my point and you don't address it like it does matter. What's wrong with this picture? EVERYTHING!

Seems I'm the only one who actually read that and provided straight from the source links. May I ask a simple question? What exactly does "approved credible source mean, who defines it? I know critical thinking and the search for truth is hated.

open google? LOL I'll wait for a RELIABLE link . There you go!!! LOL Biden senile? Cringe, what planet are you on? Are your eyes even open? gender transition? When in human history has this been an issue? NEVER Ukraine? you mean biden helping support democracy? I almost vomited see my link RE below where is your sauce? Your post is pathetic and i suspect there are "plants" and trolls here? Says the clown only with the 5 am talking points found on all mainstream media outlets only fools believe. No sauce from "credible" sources if i wanted to hear lies and propaganda? please state your sources we all need to be "illuminated" with your vast knowledge of NOTHING. Overall comment: Everything wrong in this discourse is contained in this post. Only critical thinking and the right questions need to be asked. When did this leave the public square entirely? Final assessment: We all need to look in the mirror to find most problems. The mind control on the entire planet is astounding. For the record, I am neither dem or rep. I'm simply for freedom and truth. I vote NONE OF THE ABOVE! Is unclassified DOJ documentation credible enough from the US Senate? https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fd_1023_obtained_by_senator_grassley_-_biden.pdf For some of you, NOTHING is credible unless you say so or your gatekeepers.

Thank you sir, again my post is based on real work actual experience. The only possible discrepancies is 4 years of removed since the last time I was actually involved. I paid on the level personal income tax, social security and all the rest of it for a solid 30 year period. Very familiar with many others who have done much the same including my late father. My Dad had paid into the system for the better part of 40 years. His Thai wife is still receiving a little over 12,000 baht a month social security pension because of his vigilance. Additionally, he was afforded the TOTAL benefits of the Thai health care system in the final days of his life. This included about 3 months of hospital stays in community facilities, a sped up CT scan and preferential treatment across the board. The entirety of which would have cost a minimum of 5 million baht possibly double that. The total out of pocket expenses came out to 200 baht. This was only because I requested detailed documentation of all charges in one particular instance which involved a 20 day stay. There's a story within a story in regards to how everything worked out in the end. Suffice to say I must commend the care, dignity and professional nature of the Thai medical professionals during this entire process, nurses, doctors and administrators a like. I have nothing but respect for their genuine concern. My respect for Thai culture and their morality was elevated to top notch. These are rare qualities in life these days ANYWHERE in the world. The key to making things "painless" was a relentless nature of asking every possible question and talking to the right people in charge. I became acquainted with the laws in place. It was surprisingly easy to fill out all the paperwork and get the results their laws afforded and ultimately provided. Again, total respect for their "system". Never thought I'd say that for any government institution I've been involved it but it's the absolute truth. I have the receipts to prove it. My hopes by sharing this is that it may spark a positive outcome for others who may read this in later days. I'd be happy to answer any questions and provide any experience or have direct knowledge about. I would hope others might do the same. In closing, yes it's costly but at the end of the day it was worth it if you wish to remain "above board" and simply try to do the right thing according to Thai law (I know say or think what you will). Finding the right advice and lawyers during the entire time was always overpriced plus a struggle regardless of friendship and familiarity.

The treaty applies to all American citizens doing business in Thailand, the capitalization of 1 million baht I believe (80% sure its still the same) is the minimum, mine ended up being 5 million due to the amount of employees and revenue reported over decades of time. The capitalization amounts are sliding scale based on your no. of employees which I believe is five people, per million. No fixed account deposit was required just the opening of a business account for transparency/verification reasons. Keep the following in mind if you feel you need to incorporate: (note bold) You gotta pay monthly withholding taxes on your salary which is a minimum of 50K and those of your employees. This needs to be filled out in Thai and filed monthly at your local tax office. There are three different "Por lor" tax forms (Social Security, Withholding and VAT) All must be up to date with your income figures and employee salary disbursements. Then Por Lor 53 at the end of each year for the annual tax on profits. Keep in mind the taxes may vary from business to business or may not apply at all. I'm just telling you what I had to do as a restaurant business. You do get the Thai Health Insurance card which, believe it or not is rather good. You pay withholding monthly 3% The income tax on a sliding scale. Same for your employees. "Creative accounting" skills are needed to minimize your liabilities, this can be done many number of ways. Based on your description, it's not worth it. The reasons for my "transparency" are simple, high exposure and liability. This involves insurance, if somebody breaks there neck on your property or place of business, for example. What the above gives you is an umbrella liability protection as a "business entity" and a company chop for all formal documentation that needs to be submitted to any Thai government office. I hope this answers your questions as it's based on many years hands on experience. And some lumps along the way. Some of the exact numbers may be outdated or a slight mistake on my part. Watch out for shady Thai lawyers they are a dime a dozen. Same all over the world not singling out Thais, they simply withhold information if they see a buck. I wish you only the very best of luck

Owned three different businesses over a 34 year period here. The million baht capitalization was still in effect as of 2019. That hasn't changed if at all during the entirety of my time here if memory serves. If you are American, the 51/49 rules does not apply at there's a treaty between the US and Thailand. I cannot speak directly to other countries lawyers are for that. A work permit is only required if you are on premises clearly engaging in work like accounting or marketing. Certain activities are restricted. In my case being a restaurant and hotel owner I was not allowed to do jobs Thais can do like bartender or waiting tables etc. This is clearly stipulated in Thai labor law. Make sure you understand that side of it. Due diligence is required. I've know countless business owners without a work permit just be aware of the parameters.

Indeed. What about the truth? That's all I care about at this point in my life. Not fake narratives pushed for cash, clicks, power or all of it. Dystopian madness.

It was actually a post by Trump on Truth Social how does this qualify as his campaign? It's clearly him. In the ACTUAL video he clearly states "urge Congress". The text above states "immediately". That's very disingenuous to mimic that talking point lie from the Independent UK website. If you don't believe me or think I'm some Trump nut, simply watch the video linked in the beginning of this paragraph. IMHO both sides of the cesspool known as the political arena are criminals. Always have been always will be. What I personally despise are outright lies and bending of sound or video bites to get clicks and fake engagement. As a bonus you push "the narrative. My only question is which is it? Combo plate? Your post is crystal clear of its intent. The "poster" knows very few people take the time to actually read supporting documentation, in other words seek real truth. I get it, takes a couple minutes, I know we are all too busy, etc. etc. Facts matter and so do words. TRUTH is the most illusive thing and the most hated word on the planet. That spells doom. Our world is being manipulated folks and the buried leads are found in the links referenced in this post. They may also be found in a small percentage of comments on this long "confirmation bias fueled" thread. One only needs to use their critical thinking skills if they still exist.
