Going to get worse Malaysia just topped the rankings for tourism in SEA. And Vietnam just approved you can get duel Citizenship if your married to a Vietnamese or have a grand parent from Vietnam. So Thailand good luck and with the double pricing, crime, new tax laws, visa mindfileds and cold shouldering the Expat... the land of smiles is long gone and no one to blame but the Thais themselves. Maybe it will be back to normal with your free mango and sticky rice on arrival 😂 give it 3 yrs and Vietnam will be the go to destination for Expats.

Here we go again.. A government with Puppet PM's and corrupt ones totally controlled by the Military Junta. The good old Hiso 1% club at its best absolute bone heads that are all coated with Teflon. Laughed 😂 when I read a democracy In your dreams Thailand. The country is basically in free fall? Expats leaving by the droves to Vietnam which will be the go to destination in SEA in a few years. But as we know Thais don't think ahead it's always a knee jerk reaction with no long term thought involved, then when the sh$# hits the fan the offer a plate of mango sticky rice. The land of smiles is long gone.

Has to be Russian and thats what happens when your the only country that allows them in on a 90 visa and all go to fake language school and set up shop and take over on their trust fund allowance Phuket 7 yrs ago was OK but now why would you go to socialize let along live there with the bottom of the barrel expats and pissed tourists. Thank God Krabi hasn't been taken over by the low end tourist and expat yet. It just ruins it for good normal people.

The Thai B been inflated for years about time it come down get some of there own medicine. Go Tariffs time for Thailand to have a good hard look at themselves and pull there head out of there Ar.. Which will never happen

Thais live in LA LA LAND they believe the world looks at them with some type of reverence and its more like they laugh at them as been a joke. The are not the sharpest tools in the shed as we know but think they are? But they are very good at getting money for doing nothing so not that stupid 😂 Thais have Double standards always have its ok for them but not for others. Thailand is sinking fast, since 2020 to now its going backwards at a rate of knots all due to political stupidity remember do first then think is the Thai motto. But what the Thais will do is totally the opposite they will raise tariffs on the USA imports not reduce.

Well it's Thailand the corrupt audit the corrupt nothing to see here. Part of the fabric in Thailand

Have they even clarified yet with the new tax law? Is it all foriegn money that you have or just the money you remit to Thailand? is taxed?

I worked in the Restraurant business for 30 yrs and yes it a hard slog but you can make good money if your good.. As for Thailand it's just going to get worse new 25% car tariifs into the US @taxing overseas income add the inflated Bhat and Tourism dwilding (except Phuket opps I mean Little Moscow) add the increasing danger to the mix expats leaving to go to new shores Thailand Is a world of trouble but Thai been Thai they dig they're heads in the sand and blame all others for the drama. So it time and time again been here for 20 yrs never changes . So much potential just run buy a bunch of old stupid fat currupt goons.

About time Thais don't like competition in any form Tourism, Manufacturing, nothing with the inflated Bhat and the new Foreign tax laws people are waking up going to other countries to live and to import from. It's good to see as the Brains trust are clueless. But Thais been Thia when the sh.. hits the fan and it always does they scramble to fix it but as we know it's always to late. So going to be interesting to see how this all goes as Thailand hanging on by a thread with it's economy and very soon they be nailed to the wall and no one to blame but themselves.

Who is Pattaya paying to win those awards as it not a beach I rate at all And throw in the tourists sleeping on it Thailand just lives in its golden axe bubble

Since the arrival of mother Russia in Phuket its fast catching up to Pattaya with its crime, misbehaving tourists. Throw in the dodgy English and French expats the pissed Australians, the rude chinese tourists it's going to be a absolute disaster give a few more years and the Brian's trust will go will that was a mistake wasn't it. Sad really as 10 yrs ago it was a nice place to live I got out as soon as the Russians moved in and went back to BKK safer bigger and you don't have to see or associate with those people if you choose not too.

It's a wait and see? approach Just like the no smoking 10m from a doorway last 3 months No parking a bike on the footpath lasted 1 month No street vendors in BKk lasted 1 week The points system for driving did that ever happen? If you hava a DTA show your tax paperwork for that yr to them when they are knocking on your door and say mate I have paid my tax in my country this yr and close the door. And if extending your visa it may only be the sticking point until you see it on the immigration paper work they have no leg to stand on. OR go as long as you can and see if you get that knock on the door

Good old Thai hisos going for as much as they can problem is they are dreaming no way they get anywhere near that typical l Thai greed at it best hence why the country is in free fail

I have seen bigger fights with 2 jealous Thai girls going for it with some mauy Thai for good measure this is hilarious it's a woke fight 😂

Perfect Start taxing all foreign income from the expat to pay for low income workers And it will never happen anyway Expats are worried that they be paying up to half of their income in Tax in the near future unless your country has a double tax agreement Only 64 cointries have it with Thailand
