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

This isn't legal any way also if your lucky enough to be one of the 60 counties that have a double tax treaty agreement it isn't a problem just more paper work. ie) Australia has one with Thailand. So you do your tax return in Australia pay your tax then translate it into to Thai and submit yes more money and a new industry for Thai accounting or law firms to do it for you. Also still legal to give a gift to your Thai wife of 20 mill usd per year and taxed at 5% . Here is the issue for Thailand If your paying 35% income tax in your country where all your funds are held and then pay another 30 % to Thailand Revenue for money that has never ever entered Thailand you be left with 35 % of your income why would you ? Thailand is still a cash society Digital banking is yrs behind the Western world so my people be bringing in money and living of your cash and Thais love cash. OR You stay 180 days a yr or under or move to another place like Vietnam etc What they don't get is your spending anyway your living there paying vat, rent rates, bills and living costs . Paying 5 % tax on yr our money coming into Thailand you can live with but not at their current tax rate scale not going to happen. Remember Thais play a short game not the long game hence why it's a sh.. Storm constantly. If this happens it will be a huge long time issue for Thailand. But they change their minds constantly look at the 60 day VOA from 2025 you need a ETV to enter they have no idea .

Pick me of the floor can't stop laughing The day Daddy arrived this was going to happen he had it all planned before arrival. Yingluck be home soon too. Oh where is Ptia the man people voted for oh yeah gone it's insulting to the people and makes Thailand politics like a kindergarten.

Obviously two criminals back in New Zealand you just don't do that to a cop and in Thailand your asking for jail. What peanuts. The New Zealand woke government supporting 2 individuals that attack law enforcement wow. If it was the Australian government you be left there to rot. And must of been a very large brown paper bag to get them out. Good they banned from Thailand the Thai government should start doing it to the Russians that are doing dumb sh..

What a crack up, runs away comes back Scott free to take over the empire once more... One Teflon family...

I love it the economy is sliding down the toilet. And yes more and more sex workers are coming into the industry due to survival. The Thai brains trust letting the Russians in by the droves to dodge the war basically because it's the only country they can go to and it's ironic that must Russians don't like Asians but still better there then back home with Putin until it's all over and they be gone too . In time Thailand won't be the destination of tourism Vietnam is catching up quick. And TAT just siad they are 140 m B under qouter Then the Thai government will change the expat tax laws to attract more retierees to prop up the country once again they are glueless also they may start to look at countries with people with a tad more respect that still come and spend and live within the law unlike the Russians, Africans, Indians and Chinese that have raped it and left. But as we all know it's no until its hell in a handbag they do something about it.

Maybe because the top end police chiefs own most of the buildings in the soi just like soi cowboy in BKK It's hilarious the lies just keep coming possibly the one country that thrives on lies

Hmm a invester more like a Danish biker.. In Pattaya. Haven't seen many Thai men help the scammed Farang when the girl they are seeing does a runner with their cash.

Works out ok for me as I will just spend 170 days, in Thailand and the rest in Australia. I spoke to my tax agent here and she said you submit a tax return in Thailand with all your tax receipts here translated into Thai she said your income isn't from property or business it's a super fund income as I'm retired. Australia has a treaty with Thailand she says it's a pain but shouldn't be a issue. I said aha you don't live there. Just more work and money to the Thai economy for nothing. What makes me laugh is they want your to come and retire there you spend your money I'd say 4 times more then a local Thai to their economy but double tax you great way to lose your expat community. Vietnam is going to be the next expat retire hotspot in the coming years? Then when the sh.. hits the fan they will change it. I'm not sure if it's true but if you have a Thai elite visa you are exempt maybe just more BS

Once again change your mind this place is laughable.. Bring in a law change it but once it in Thais treat it as a valid law still. Weed shops won't close they do what they do in Vietnam turn it into a convienance store and sell it under the table simple. The most near sighted culture on the planet blows my mind living hear.

And its only the beginning it will become a ghetto with all the pheasant Russians moving there in the droves, They have money but only because of family Trust fund babies or the potato farm was sitting on oil and gas, they are ruthless culture and will do anything to earn a buck good or bad.. In time Thailand will be in deep sh.. Because of it allowing them to enter willy neally and yes take over. When the normal tourist or expat doesn't go to phuket any more then the Thais will have a cry and want to take action. Clueless they do some dumb stuff the Thais but this one will bite them hard in the long run, but as, we know Thais only see 1 day in front of them not long term.. And about the $$$$.

Thailand has no one to blame but themselves for allowing the Russians to come in and hide out in phuket and take over the place, it's all about money to Thias but when the sh*& hits the fan they complain. They are starting to see the cost of loving money now? And to be honest what do they expect from a culture that are basically intitled pheasants with money, the very low rung on the barrel but they think they are the bomb (Russian importance bubble) get rid of them no one else wants them in the world so Thailand remove them or cop it sweet. But been rude to hostipal staff is not right they are trying to help you. But don't worry there be a private run Russian only Hostipal soon in sure in Phuket soon enough anyway.

I lived and worked in Thailand for 20 yrs now would I want to live as expat in Thailand nope The new sting the expat with tax when you when you have already paid tax in your own country. The low end tourists mainly Russians run the place phuket now the rude Chinese and the hoads of Indians. Thailand always works backwards all about the money not the quality or the type of quality individuals. When the <deleted> hits the fan they panic change all the rules and he we go again. Great to visit but to live to hard with all the red tape and the trailer trailer trash expatss and greedy Thais. Go to Vietnam way better

Well we'll it's just the beginning as most of phuket is Russian now with all the Trust found kids hiding out and getting all the luxuries from mummy and daddy. 120% increase in property prices in 2 yrs prime real estate snapped up by the Ruskies and chinese. Illegal business Restaurants with Russian only menus Ruskie uber drivers etc. Yes then add the 90 day visa on arrival for the Ruskies tourist. Quality no Basic cashed up peasants with entitlement that includes the Chinese too, what's perplexing is Russians don't like Asians very much but considering they have no where else to hide they have to tough it out and be <deleted> to the locals in the process. Phuket - Little Moscow will become like Pattaya a sess pool in a few years and by the time that happens then the government will step in but all to late as all they see now is show me the money... Sad to see Phuket go this way thank God I didn't move there and stayed in Bangkok don't have to see them if you don't need too. Just get rid off them and give it back to the local and a Quality expat and Tourist. Hell will freeze over before that will happens the Thai government isn't that smart.

Little Moscow formally known as Phuket 😂 why would you go it's ruined now by them its going to be like Shinoukville in Cambodia 🇰🇭 pretty soon But one thing you dont do in Phuket or Pattaya is Brag about what you have, dress poor, act poor and all your wealth is hiding in the Hills not in Patong if you brag or show off your a target especially now with the Ruskies in town before a bar girl would fleece you but not now? It's sad really how it can be ruined so quickly... BKK for me you dont see them that often the fat red, rude, arrogant, criminal pricks.

You think they include Australia as we are in the top 3 country's that visit Thailand Russia, UK, Aus, US, China, But nope TAT is clueless... They always want the bottom of the barrel tourists.

Thailand is a crack up its ok for Thai to steal Rob and scam the Farang (mai pen Rai) but not a farang why? What's good for the goose is good for the gander double standards as usual screw the farang. I see Thais living in Australia and they have all the rights as any other person here, but not in Thailand all about protecting the Thai , There not prejudice at all are they we are just atm cards to them.

Just what Thailand' doesn't need is Anutin the man that hates dirty farangs and we were spreading covid 😂. Good help the expat if he is in power. Rise up Thailand and get rid of these 🤡 there is only 600 000 of the elite do the math

The Thais crack me up 😂 The are so racist and sexist themselves. The dont like Blacks or Indians they hate the Chinese and are open about it. Thai men have many giks and on TV its all based on Cheating, sex and violance. But dont say anything bad about them they wont like it. They remind me of Americans they believe it's the best and only country in the world 🗺, which is funny as only 20 % of Thais have a passport 🛂 they dont know anything else. Brain washed from day one at school if you can call it education. Toughen up Thailand instead of getting upset about a song why not stand up to your government and make a change that actaully means something.

The lies just keep coming, TAT is on another 🌏! but with the Russians getting 90 day arrival visa and now the Chinese visa free. But we do know the 2 most unpopular tourists will be flooding into to Thailand 🇹🇭 yuppie. They are just clueless wanting tourists from a country thats at war and the other just plain rude and entitled. How to ruin a country all for 💵 and fu.. It for everyone else.
