I'm not scared.
well if you are an American, then Trumps' voting with Russia and N. Korea has to be a shock as it has NEVER happened before, especially when all the countries alligned with the US voting against the dictators. If you are not an American, then put up your 5 million and you can join us in the US of A. as a "Gold Card American".!

There is no yearly inspection required until the vehicle (pickup/car) is 7 years old.
well being the owner of vehicles from early 2000 until recently, I had to have my vehicle inspected every year in order to get a new sticker and googled the inspection of vehicles in Thailand and it states yearly too for pickups and cars.

I roll coal in my daily pickup... it is only 4 yrs old, no annual inspections until it is 7.
I'm not sure if you are telling the truth as you believe it or just ignoring the laws. Unless it is a very special pickup, then yearly inspection is required to renew the sticker.

Well WOW !!!! show how effective immigration enforcement is, big lose of face on this one !
well in the world of AI, believe that more and more the Thais will recognize the need to merge data, sharing banking, immigration, tourism, hotel stays, whatever, so that they don't continue to be embarrased at these shortcomings..but then again, kill the goose that lays those golden eggs..maybe never.

He has a special place waiting for him in prison.and funny you say that when we read than many of the radicalized are radicalized in our prisons. A sic society for sure and a horrible belief classified as a religion. Just look at their history if there is any doubt.

There has to be some level of assimilation to prevent these kind of atrocities from occurring on our soil. I also believe that families with Muslim daughters who are teenagers can start by proving that they have participated in a bikini contest, and for teenage boys they must show a burden of proof that they're not affiliated with any of the local madrasas.
Something must be done to keep out the extremist super freaks. Their religion may work for them in Saudi, Kuwait, Yemen, Sudan or Somalia. That same ultra conservative fanatislcism, is not wanted, needed, nor desirable in Western nations. Only moderates need apply should be the policy.
Yessir, I lived in a fundamentalist Muslim city for a couple of years. Horrible stories almost daily. In most Muslim countries, and some western countries (WOKE now) allow girls to be married at 12 years of age or upon reaching puberty! In most of those countries, girls have to marry whomever her family decides. In some of those countries, if a girl refuses to marry a certain person, her parents might KILL her or the suitor will rape her and then she MUST marry him or be killed or kicked out of the family. These people are STONE AGE thinkers, perfect example too is the Taliban in Afghanistan - while the US forces were present, females could go to school, work in any shop/profession, become elected officials, judges, doctors etc but now they can't go to school at all. Those holding any profession have been sent home. They can't go outside without covering their faces, and can't make eye contact with any male other than their family. A women reportedly can't be examined by a doctor unless the doctor is a female yet females can't study to become doctors. Sick people that are fleeing their countries for the west, where they want to change the western laws and in many countries are legally protected and they then begin to try to change to sharia law. US laws (woke written) protect them from US laws that prohibit this type of life but most US judges just go along with the Muslim group. Previously when they migrated to the states, they assimilated into US neighborhoods and lived that type of life but now they have learned that if they join together, they can become elected officials who then can get the laws changed. A totally sick religion and males in that religion. I still wonder why the women after almost 2000 years of this type living still accept it. Then again, since 638 and the death of their founder, the two separate families still regularly kill each other. SICK.

You mean like corporations which relocate to avoid paying taxes?
supposedly, part of the OECD agreement is about corporation tax of 15% which they want the signers to achieve so those 136 signers of that agreement should be staying put unless they can find a suitable home somewhere.

It's not anti tax, i pay tax in UK i just don't want to pay more here for nothing
well supposedly (operative word here) the DTA between the UK and Thailand should mean you do not pay anything extra here...I would think that any tax that could be charged to Thailand would be less than that in the UK and then a tax credit ..but I am no tax expert for sure, just on my own anyway. Good luck to you as I think the Thais will try to keep expats here as opposed to scaring them out.

I recently read that we can learn a lot from urine and blood screenings before undergoing those scary biopsies. While I am in Bangkok where would you suggest I go to get those tests done; I mean should I see a urologist or can a G.P. write up the prescription? That's before I go back to my remote island. And I must say I'm already on tamsulosine.
include in your daily diet cooked tomatoes or tomato paste - red fruits/veggies for the lycopene which does wonders for the prostate. add to whatever pharma your urologist prescribes.

Many men are stuck here with a wife and family so they are going nowhere, single guys can move away for 6+ months if needed
well wife, kids, or not, I am an American and not matter where I go/live as a tax resident, I still owe Uncle Sam. I accept that and have for some 60+ years of working and paying taxes. I fail to understand the anti-tax folks thoughts even to the point of failing to follow the laws of different countries. But, my opinion and am sure YOU might not like it.

on top of that quote from Trump was his ending the Ukraine war in one day too - unfortunately, he since that began has tried ot alienate the entire western world against Zelenskyy claiming that he is a dictator not elected (false - 2019 elected for 5 year period) and that Ukraine INVADED Russia and that he would get Putin to quit if Ukraine guaranteed 50% ownership of rare earth minerals for the US! to pay back the war equipment provided by the US.

I dont consider salads healthy. It's rabbit food.
Dont forget to eat some protein.
salad bars also include beans - plenty of protein there too. I have eaten there in different locations over the years and never had any ill effects. It is not any more expensive than most other western food restaurants.

An acquaintance from back home told me his 19 year old daughter and her female friend will visit Bangkok sometime soon. And he asked me for advise.
Some thinks came to my mind like be very careful when you cross any road (including with green light), be careful with overcharging drivers and don't get drunk and trust any guy to take care of you.
And then I thought about riding apps like Bolt. But I have no idea if they require a local phone number. And then, I don't know if tourists can easily get a local SIM card. And can tourists somehow pay with QR code?
And how is the situation at the airport now? Can new tourists rely on taxi-meter from the airport? Or is that still a big scam?
Instead of everybody adding a few tips here, do you know any good websites with good advice for first time tourists, and especially girls?
Thanks
go someplace else! Japan and S. Korea are safe for young western girls but then again, a lot depends of the maturity of the young ladies. My daughter now 21 has been taking courses at Korean universities during her university term breaks here and says S. Korea very safe for young girl unless they hang out in bars! Japan I know several friends whose young ladies visited and had a safe and happy time there. I have spent many years living and working overseas and not sure about the safety of young folks today as they seem to be a lot wilder than I was but then as a teenager I spent a couple of years in a war zone so I probably might not be a good judge of character for young folks today. Tell them to avoid Laos too. My daughter grew up here in Thailand teenage years in CM with no problems though - all depends on the individuals it seems to me.

just like 24 hours to end the war in the Ukraine...since he screwed that up by listening to Putin and couldn't Ukraine to guarantee the US 50% of the rare earth minerals, so what did he immediately do, threw Zelenskyy under the bus and blaming him and Ukraine for Russian invasion of THEIR country. Then Trump calls Zelenskyy a dictator without an election which he was elected in 2019 for a 5-year period ignoring the fact that the whole world knows Putin is a dictator! who continues to prolong the war hoping to garner some more of the Ukrainian lands. Next of course will probably see Trump trying to take over the Panama canal, changing the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf oa America, and then sending troops to occupy more of Greenland! A scary time for sure!

Well basically, it sounds to me like you are the one listening to the wrong sources, I may be wrong but what I have seen and heard sounds different from that which you are quoting.

If so, then you have no idea how economies work. Give the man some time, you gave Xiden 4 years and all he brought was misery and wars. Where were your comments then?
Suggest you wake up, he began destroying our international relationships, costs in stores, with his promises of taxing every friendly country just about, then signing 80+ executive orders, manalong these same lines, so that is why things are tanking like the stock market too. I am no expert but can read and hear and this is my opinion about the problems.

Well, speaking of that, I myself have taken the oath several times, sometimes as a military person and then several times as a civilian employee. I recall Trump had to take that oath too and then failed to abide by it so I truly do not understand why so many people continue to support and defend him. IMHO the word "traitor" might be used but then again, this is just my opinion.

Yeah, just like firing those Nuke experts - then realizing who they fired and no one to watch over the nukes and now that they have to get them to come back, they can't access their contacts! Talk about inept folks runnning the government as the big excuse of Trump and Co., sounds more like his typical blame the others and not himself!

They need info such as where you are tax resident & tax numbers so surely just a signature wouldn't suffice.
Thailand didn't sign the FATCA agreement with the US until April 29, 2024 so anything you signed earlier wasn't the FATCA agreement. When immigration informed me and others 5 years or so ago, that we couldn't use a joint account but that it needed to be a sole account, so I changed my BB joint for a sole account user and had to provide my US ss# at that time. I did not even think about FATCA until last year or so. Anyway, I will be going to BB local branch this week and will advise all what they tell me about the forms. They haven't sent anything to me, I got a copy of what I need from expattaxthailand. As for no Thai tax number, on the w.9 form is a space for indicating why no tax id number if a tax resident here. No assessable income so...

Trump popularity sinks as Americans quickly sour on economy: poll
in Political Soapbox
Posted
If these mentioned, were Trump's only executive orders put out during the beginning, he would be really popular but unforturnately he continues destroying more than building up. I especially like the latest where he is CORRECTED a couple of times when lying to the press, and when Trump says he reviewed the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico saying that the American who thought up that deal was an idiot...yessir, HE is the one that initated and SIGNED that trade agreement with them during his first tour as President. Now he wants to sell citizenship via a "Gold Card" for 5 million dollars to trim down the debt. Latest campaign promise was that there would be no cuts to medicare and yessir in the new budget proposal cutting billions out of medicare. He is alienating more and more every hour it seems. Wonder how low he can go.
