  1. I have been several times and will not go back. Manila nice? I find the place a dump full of homeless and drug addicts. It seems to have turned into a filthy hole. Places like Pburgos rip off 3 to 5 times what it costs in Pattaya for not the same quality of fun. LA Cafe 40 year old large. Angeles CIty is run by Koreans a bunch of old ladies and Ladyboys roaming the streets at night. Yes, there is expensive western food there and a couple of malls. It seemed the pandemic changed most of it though. Many of the younger girls seem to have found jobs in call centers or other places. I guess getting out to some of the other provinces could be an option if a 3rd world life and many desperate poor people is what you want. Anyway, just search about Manila and some of the other places even Filipinos talk bad about them. But, I suggest you go and try it and judge for yourself.
  2. Have been going to soi 6 for 10 years never had a problem. Don't get drunk, be polite and pay your bill all is well. Too many other idiots make problems.
  3. How does tax work with my Wise Account? If you have questions about your taxes or filing a return — speak to a qualified professional. Wise can’t give you advice on your personal tax situation, and this article is meant for information purposes only. We know tax can be complicated and stressful, but here’s a breakdown of how tax works with your Wise account. Wise is required to follow local tax laws in every country we operate in. That means in some countries we might be required to: withhold on currency transfers, give customers an invoice for their remittance, report customer data to the local tax authorities. We try to be as transparent as possible about any tax we're required to withhold, and any information of yours we're required to report, however we're not authorised to provide you with any tax advice. What information do you report to tax authorities? The answer to this changes based on which country you’re in. Certain Wise entities must comply with the global anti-tax evasion regimes, FATCA and CRS, due to the type of products they offer. For example, our newest product, Assets, causes a subsidiary of Wise, TINV Ltd., which provides the Assets product to fall within the scope of FATCA and CRS as a Custodial Institution. Customers that participate in Assets who are deemed to be reportable persons will be reported to HMRC in line with the Automatic Exchange of Information. Wise is working directly with the Electronic Money Association (EMA) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (OECD) to ensure our processes and products combat any tax evasion. As and when Wise is obligated to collect and report customer tax and financial information to tax authorities we will do so. In addition to tax requirements, other regulations may require Wise to collect certain data, like transactions over a certain threshold, and report it to regulatory bodies. Our Terms and Conditions of each entity provide more information about what we may need to report to different tax authorities. Who do I have to report my taxes to? Customers are required to disclose and pay any necessary taxes associated with transfers made through our systems, or on cash received into their Wise Account. The triggering of a tax liability and/or reporting obligation will depend on your tax residency, the nature of the income, and potentially the amount. We recommend you seek tax advice if you're unclear on the tax implications of a specific transaction. Does Wise charge any taxes? Wise may have to levy tax on its transfer fee according to local tax laws. For example Brazilian real (BRL) transactions where IOF (Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras — financial operations tax) may be imposed. Where transactional taxes apply, these will either be included in the fee payable or shown separately at the time of payment, and won’t impact the amount sent to the recipient. Wise will pay out the agreed amount to the recipient and, if required to withhold any taxes, will disclose any taxes that will apply. Depending on the nature of a transfer, you or the recipient may need to declare and pay tax. Wise can’t advise whether tax applies to your transfer and we recommend that you ask a financial advisor and/or the relevant tax authority How does having a Wise Account impact my taxes? The features and functionality of the Wise Account product vary across jurisdictions, which could impact the taxes you may need to pay. Please consult a tax advisor if you are unsure of your tax payment or filing obligations. If you earn any interest while holding money with Wise you may need to pay tax on the annual interest earned in accordance with the laws and regulations where you are a tax resident. Additionally, if you receive any taxable payments (salary or otherwise) into your Wise Account from a 3rd party, that will also be taxed in accordance with the laws and regulations where you are a resident for tax purposes. Wise is typically not a withholding agent in most jurisdictions, so if you believe you should be paying taxes on income you receive into your Wise Account, please consult a tax advisor. The exception to this is if you are a customer of Wise Europe and receive balance cashback on your account. Wise will withhold 30% of any cashback you earn. If you hold your money in Assets with Wise, you may earn taxable and/or reportable income, which you will be responsible for paying taxes on in accordance with the local laws and regulators in your tax jurisdiction(s). We recommend that you consult a tax advisor if you need assistance calculating any proceeds or gains on your investment. Wise provides our Assets customers with a comprehensive proceeds statement associated with their trading activity with Wise but we cannot provide further tax advice Thailand recently joined CRS and will have access to just about any financial account including Wise. Good luck to those who believe this or that account cannot be traced or exposed.
  4. The arrogant big mouth on the video is an example of why many western women are hated.
  5. It wont last 18 months. In fact, I bet the S and P is at a high at the end of the year. The Fed will start cutting. Save your cash and get ready to buy!
  6. A Doctor can freeze them with liquid nitrogen. It will crust up and come off in 5 to 7 days. My buddy said he bought a to go pint of ice cream from Swensens and they put dry ice in the bag to keep it cold. He used a piece of the dry ice on his wart and he said it did the same thing as liquid nitrogen.
  7. This and the high speed train from Bangkok coming soon.
  8. Hasn't it been a human trafficking place? Thai ladies promised jobs, but forced into something else.
  9. The government could make a lot more money legalizing it, and collecting taxes as many of them make more then Expats.
  10. No education on finances, investment, proper personal management. Clueless. At some point the bubble will burst.
  11. Come in July you can stay 1 full year tax free. 6 months this year, then the first 6 months of 2025.
  12. It is 200 b normally for a COR. Why the upsell?
  13. I think they don't care about retirees. Tourists spend probably 10 times in one day what retiree does. Retirees appear to be a nusiance to the government here. If everyone left they would probably be happy. Bring in the no Visa tourists.
  14. I believe India is taxing the use of India credit cards that are used to make purchases in foreign countries. But, there are reports Thailand wants to tax their use as income for residents? Sorry, it is not income, it is debt. Income is part of your net worth. Using a credit card for groceries, a hotel, going on a boat tour does not change your worth. I don't know of any country that taxes the use of a foreign or domestic credit card for their residents as income. I guess they can do what they want, just seems unreasonable and unlikely.
  15. One could bring in 700 MREs in a couple of very large suitcases. Just say you are going to help feed the hungry.
  16. If it is about KFC I dislike it here. I don't eat I often but It seems very greasy the pieces are not crispy fried, but oily in texture and taste. I had a Mcdonalds spicy 4 pack last week I was surprised it was fantastic. Crispy spicy and plenty of meat. I guess it is better because they make it after you order as opposed to KFC that has it sitting under the heater. Caveat there is waiting 20 minutes at Mcdonalds.
  17. Good luck. I have half a dozen close friends five of them are not staying more then 180. I am staying, but don't blame those who want to go, wait and see.
  18. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 21 (Government Service), pensions and other similar remuneration paid to a resident of a Contracting State in consideration of past employment shall be taxable only in that State. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, social security benefits and other similar public pensions paid by a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State or a citizen of the United States shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State. I don't interpet this at all as you do. It says government service and public pensions. So. If a guy is a cop, fireman, local or state government attorney, or employee of a government entity they will be receiving a public or government service/public pension. Seems the DTA covers any government worker anywhere in the USA who is receiving such a pension.
  19. I met a lady recently she worked in a factory in Samut Prakan and liked it. Lots of friends and OT she made over 25k a month. They closed, now she is working in Hua Hin at massage.
  20. I met a girl last night on Beach road better looking then her.
  21. Well, if published it certainly could create a mad rush to file by folks sitting in the weeds thinking they need to do nothing.
  22. Yes. Because it is not SS or a government/public pension. Read article 20 of the USA/ Thailand tax treaty.
  23. A copy of your passport main page, current visa stamp, and departure card. (TM card) A Certificate of Residence. (Or Affidavit of Address from your Embassy or copy of Work Permit.) The bike’s original registration booklet. i.e. tabien rot (green book). A photocopy of the current owner’s ID card (or passport if they are a foreigner), which should also be signed by the current owner. A copy of the current owner’s House Registration book, which shows their address. This should also be signed by the seller. A copy of the document applying to transfer ownership, signed by the current owner. (This is available at the Land Transport Office). You need a Residence certificate and the above documents.
