Altho many of us will not have to pay additional tax, we will still have to file, which will mostly be done by accountancy firms...a real windfall for them!!!...the way i see it, the banks will hold back 15% of our offshore deposit and we'll have to file in order to have it returned...

Apologies...not meant for you specifically, just the chart...

Who care about the double tax agreement when my country NZ, doesn't charge capital gains on property sales and Thailand charges something like 39% on capital gains...big loss for me as i see it...

Hey, how about you define your version of "right wing"???

Very true...and also look into who made up the bulk of the Bolsheviks, especially a guy named Yagoda...

Ok, Ok...good analysis and a good point as well, thanks

Thanks all for you input????...altho i would like to direct some of my savings to Thailand, where i have a wife and young daughter, i just can't bring myself to put it in an account earning -1% when in NZ here i have the deposit sitting at 6% on a 6 month term...i could probably find a better rate in Thailand but i'm sure it would be way to risky for my liking and for this time in my life as i'm 75 y.o....

Yes, i've seen that, but i'm asking for recommendation and/or maybe other options...as well, the bank site to which you're referring desplays the rates in a format that not clear to me...thanks for the suggestion tho????

Hi All...i am looking for a Thai bank that has a decent rate for term deposits...hopefully i can get a bit of serious advice here...thanking you all in advance????

I like the use of the word "tribe",,,right on point!!!
