That deals probably already been done under the table with TikTok shutting down in the US yesterday and the incoming Trump

Wouldn't be that much different to the roads in Bangkok currently in any case!

Very rare we see the Canadians behaving badly - freed up the Brits, Yanks and Indians for a day of posting 😉 Not mentioned if there was alcohol involved or not but I bet my Ford pickup on it there was!

Might be a cap but looks like a bad toupe

Ran out of holiday money?

🙂 Accept my spelling statement was wrong, apologies But felt the need to defend "Isan" 🙂

I am definitely agreeing with this I live well out in the sticks most of the stunning girls here have never seen the inside of a bar!

He should register for AN plenty of interesting people on here virtual conversations are better than none 🙂

I came to Thailand for peace alone or in company would enjoy it just the same, sometimes I wish I could have more peace and get back to some seeing the wonderful sights of Thailand certainly wouldn't stay in Pattaya all by myself it is a big country out there!!

A bit harsh that considering your profile says you live in Phuket - everyone is perfect down there 555 You just haven't found Isaan yet (not Isan please get it right) probably because you are too judgemental by the sound of things and the misses doesn't think you could handle it yet 😉

Maybe check soi 4 BKK shouldn't be too hard to locate. And in tomorrows news "Chinese man found safe and well in hotel room with 4 ladies claiming amnesia"

I'm willing to help out to get the numbers back up.

I think it's these lot that need birth control.

Of course it should go to the army they are going to need the money to buy those new Gripens!

Usually the other way round with me and my misses its me trying to get out of the car and her dragging me in! BS social media could have got the bloke into serious trouble that with reports of a firearm and then all over the news that's why I don't even have Facebook, the people who posted the videos should be charged for giving Thailand a bad image.

Viva England! I can't believe how well behaved the Brits are! Have many French buddies and certainly wouldn't say I've seen them behaving badly usually only towards me but I deserve it 🙂 Just goes to show there are bad apples everywhere.

Well this is a new one here - all I can say is good luck getting that 49% back in a company meeting - you can always learn lessons but can't fix stupid! As a Brit not going to defend this Brit 555

Yeah TBH I am just messing with you I'm gonna see how it all pans out before I make any leaving or country hopping plans, but certainly not submitting any tax returns on my savings and money I have earnt elsewhere and already paid tax on in a different country. Not even gonna give them my own countries TIN as none of their business. If we did start paying tax I very much doubt that will give us any more rights i.e. healthcare, property ownership, residency, visa imp[rovements or treated any differently to we are now. To add to my previous point if I spent half a year out of Thailand the bar and massage GDP would go down 50% they would be begging me to come back hahaha

I have a solution for everyone that I am going to seriously contemplate myself. Firstly I believe the taxation rules only apply in Thailand if you spend more than 180 days a year in the country, Philippines is 183. 1/2 and 1/2 is the way forward plus you also don't get too bored of one place. My tax consultancy is much cheaper than that guy in Pattaya or @Card please feel free to contact me on 0800 NOMORETAX 555. In the Philippines, the taxation rules for foreigners transferring money from their own country depend on several factors, such as the purpose of the transfer, the nature of the income, and whether the foreigner is considered a resident or non-resident for tax purposes. Here's a breakdown of key points: 1. Residency Status Resident Aliens: Foreigners who reside in the Philippines and have stayed in the country for at least 183 days within a calendar year are taxed on their Philippine-sourced income. Non-Resident Aliens: Foreigners who do not meet the residency requirement are generally taxed only on income earned within the Philippines.

Oooooohhhh - definitely a tax adviser 🙂 I am just saying if its good enough for the politicians then who are we to judge?

Have you forgot we live in the land of smiles (bribes)!!!

Hahaha - that will be withdrawn before they ever get near my bank account I doubt even Thailand would just take that out without giving you some kind of warning. If I was a cynical man I would suspect that the government may want to get their hands on everyone's 800000!!!!!

Are you sure you are not a tax advisor 🙂 How are they going to enforce it? Not extend your visa? There are a few friendly IO's around that will require some form of tax 😉 but cheaper and less administration/paperwork! Other countries they send bailiffs to your house to seize property etc, how can they do that when foreigners don't own anything here? 🙂 I can't imagine the banks in a hurry to freeze or close peoples accounts down doesn't make much business or financial sense for them to do that! Are they going to send foreigners to jail here for not paying taxes? Can't see that happen either the jails would be full and would cause a bit of an international outcry and give Thailand a 'bad image' Would also be against human rights in general to restrict your travel on the basis of any tax debts.

Already started making plans only gonna leave in my Thai bank account what I need to spend, cant pay back taxes with what I don't have, then if I get a bill or a frozen bank account bye bye Thailand.

Another event to promote an accountancy firm and tell everyone what they already know, I bet the poor Pattaya xpats left the meeting scratching their heads and more confused than when they walked in, I would need a beer after that! I think most xpats if they don't have a family here, and none will own property in any case will just hop on a plane should they come looking for back taxes. Hello Philippines!
