I found this websites for houses to rent in Minburi ( near to the school ) , and , not many houses below 100.000 as you can see. Maybe some of you who are making jokes about paying 100.000 rent could give me the adress of a better websites

Hello and thank you very much for the usefull answers so far ( and , thank you for the funny answers as well ) . First of all,I want os say , I would like to stay in singapore , but my company is relocating. I like my job, so , I will stay with the company if possible.

100.000 for a house is realistic I think .Or, 8 out of 10 real estate websites in bangkok telling me bullshit . Browsing around , I saw many places even going for 200.000 to 300.000 , I saw hardly anything below 80.000 .

For the tax,yes , I understand the system , 30% for up to 3 million and so on...however, you still have to pay 1.000.000 in taxes a year, and this is far more than in singapore. And , from my understanding , benefis like a car for example , are taxed as well.

Lets do the math again . 300.000 / month minus tax 100.0000, minus rent , around 100.000, minus school fees 40.000 . There is not much left to live . School fees where about the same in singapore , what is really killing me here are the taxes ( you only pay a fraction of this in sinapore ) .

I will keep you updated , and , who know , I might see you in Bangkok .

Again, many thanks for the usefull answers

Hello all together ,

I posted here before with some questions related to housing / tax and so on.

I am still living in Sinagpore , but I will move to BKK by end of the year...if I really move. After intensive research , I am not sure anymore that I can survive on the package offered by my company . 300.000 bath/month plus car is a good deal in Singapore, but with 37% tax in thailand , it is not as much anymore. Renting a house for me and my family cost me around 100.000 I guess ( after browsing 100000 websites ) , school for my doughter is around 400.000/year . Adding health insurance and other small things, there will be nothing left .

I just want to check with some of you who are in BKK with a family, are my calculations right ( that means , I will not take this job) or am I making a big mistake somewhere ?????

What is the best website to look for a house ( rental) in bankok. All websites I have found so far have very few coices and not many fotos .

######, thats one of the highest taxes in asia . What do you guys do to get around this ???

Not really, been to China? 45% there. Most common method to reduce Thai income tax is having some salary paid offshore and not declaring to Thai Revenue dept. Used to be able to do that in Singapore, but they took to checking passports for how much time you spent out of the country.

I was thinking about this. I am PR in sing , so it should work , I guess

Thanks alot so far. I have to rethink the offer. If I read this correctly, income tax for an income between 1.000.000 and 4.000.000 / year is 30% ...thats about 3 to 4 times of what you pay in sinagpore . I am shocked , didnt know the tax was that high

I dont really understand it ...can someone give me an idea how much tax I have to pay on roughly 3.000.000 /year
