you DO NOT need to submit a tax return unless the Thai Gov tell you to apply for a tax number. Do NOTHING.

and all this has been officially announced by the Gov? No..........it has not. Nice for you to try and help out, but not taking any notice. When the Gov make an official announcement, I will sit up and take notice. Whatever happens, it will be a curve ball..........and we can all deal with curve balls with planning and strategy Remember, this is Thailand, there is always a way........

why did you pay the bill if it was not correct? that was your dumb mistake.

If you live in that area, you need to go there and throw meat balls with rat poison into the owners garden. either that or shoot the bastards because nothing is going to happen other wise.

the majority of times it is the fault of the owners, normally leaving the dogs alone. so you cant really blame the dog, but that does not solve the problem. i have 2 next door to me, go mental everytime anyone drives by. its just relentless. sorry, sorry, is all the owner says, never does eff all about it. luckily, we are moving to a new village with security and strict rules about noise pollution. im also investing in double glazing......... if that does not work.........i will solve the problem......i have a remedy........but not for this post.

Thats right, because they are rounded up and sent to one of your neighbouring countries where they become a hearty meal for the locals. Wish they did that where I live

i could not agree more. idiots.

buy a Concept 2, or if too expensive for you, buy an Air Rower from Lazada. Whatever machine that spring came from must be an antique or low quality rower. if your serious about rowing, do the above

the tax law has not gone through parliament yet. it is being opposed. it will be impossible for them to administer anyway. how are they going to tell if you transfer money from the sale of a house, inheritance, pension? etc, etc. how are they going to understand your tax return even if they as to see it? they dont understand basic paperwork that is not in Thai (or in Thai for that matter). Having said that..........TIT. they might just deduct 35% tax from everything we send over and let us fight to get it back. Like Bob, I am planning not to be here half the year. But I am also looking at ways to bring money in tax free even if i am here.

Oh come on. the whole story is ridiculous i know Thais are whimps regarding health issues, ie, go to hospital if they cough twice in a day...........but into hospital for a fever? And a bill that size even if they did think she was foreign? Absolute rubbish in my opinion.

who told you this is low? In my opinion, your bp is brilliant.

I cant believe anyone would want to reply to this ridiculous post

i totally agree.

anyone who tells me their building is quiet...........i will call them a liar even multi million condos and apartments have noise issues. i have lived in enough to know that i will never live in one again. Spain was probably worse than Thailand as the removal of shoes is not a thing there, and the women stomp around in their high heels all hours, day and night........and the dragging of furniture.......... Not for me any more thanks. I live in Detached houses, that is it.

the obesity curse is alive and kicking in Thailand still a lot of lovely looking girls that have not succumbed to this horror. but give it time.....................

the beautiful ladyboys that work in the clubs, compete in shows etc, are gorgeous mainly But those blokes with boobs, working on the beach and on the streets are bloomin horrible, cant stand them

what he does in private is up to him personally, cant stand the LBGT, or whatever it is called..........no need for it at all. do what you want with like minded people, i dont need to hear or see it

i have lived all over Thailand, Jomtien by far the worst IO office i have ever experienced

you will have zero problems mate. just come. 30 days, just say tourism, never mention your family.

true. he is just one of many nobody wannabes

The PH is a toilet. plain and simple. Thailand superior and better in every way

I agree. I dont think Thais are that great either..........very false smile, no manners, me me me attitude. But better than UK, so I am ok here in Thailand.

Spain is a fantastic option, or Portugal. I lived in Spain a number of years. Lots of stuff a lot cheaper than Thailand........now......but that did not used to be the case. Thailand prices are increasing at an alarming rate. For sure, if it turns out I am taxable here in Thailand, I will be doing just under six months here, 3 months Vietnam, 3 months PH (or Laos, Cambodia). I have a long time Thai gf, and need to make it appealing for her also. Spain would be very desirable for 3 months, but the air fares are a joke at the moment, and it would be cheaper to pay tax here in Thailand.......... 🙂

Pattaya beach road, late at night.............it is what it is.........i avoid.

its really none of our business. yes, its obvious what is happening here........but we are not Thai, and we choose to live here or not...........for now at least we have that choice.... before we start criticising Thai politics, we should all take a long hard look at our own governments, especially UK and US
