    Yes, if the prime minister is worried about "chronic inequality", he could do a lot against it addressing such inequality in country, rather than trying to screw a few expat pensioners...

    So, Thailand scams only exist in a movie?? Yeah, right... When will Thais learn that tourists avoid places and countries where scams and ripp-offs are rampant?
  3. StayinThailand2much
    Even the government seems to believe that 'money comes from the bank'. If everyone just gets bank loans whenever they need more money, why not the government? The banks have it after all...

    Thailand said: "Cannot... But will you (Microsoft) come here with big money and invest?"
  5. StayinThailand2much
    Don't get it. There must be a reason why this thread has 43 pages (and there are numerous media posts elsewhere). Don't you think that there will be more news about this next year?
  6. StayinThailand2much
    Possible. And I will look for greener pastures, just in case... (It's a big world out there.)
  7. StayinThailand2much
    No kidding. I can't wait reading the reports here in January and February...

    I brought in cash, and withdrew from ATMs. Most of the ATM slips' ink is faded by now. Mission Impossible...
  9. StayinThailand2much
    Have you tried Google? Most info seems to be in Thai.
  10. StayinThailand2much
    Ah, the scenic beauty of Pattaya...
  11. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, of course. Doing all the paperwork with Thai forms, any requested forms from the home country, translated into Thai, etc., will be the fund owner's responsibility. It will be a bonanza for Thai tax accountants and translation services.
  12. StayinThailand2much
    And this may very well be the outcome, with banks automatically deducting a tax rate upon receiving funds from abroad...
  13. StayinThailand2much
    Imagine the banks had to figure that out, before withholding ...% from international transfers to Thailand! Will be interesting to watch early next year.

    And just the other day we read that the "Chinese aren't coming in large numbers because there aren't enough flights"...

    The puppet master (still unofficially for now) taking over from the puppet...
  16. StayinThailand2much
    No, I don't. But I started a few times in my life from scratch. So, I'm not that worried.
  17. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, but wouldn't it be released the natural way?
  18. StayinThailand2much
    That's my guess, and expats who have no income in Thailand would then be forced to try to get it back via a tax return. Anyway, until this isn't clear (in 2024), I will, personally, refrain from transferring any money to Thailand.
  19. StayinThailand2much
    Many Chinese want their money to leave China due to problems with banks there. Perhaps they heard about that in Thai government and want to cash in on it.
  20. StayinThailand2much
    There was an article very recently in "The Thaiger" where it was discussed that 'not all Thais investing overseas are rich', and often just 'make a few hundred baht income from such investments', so I guess it is not popular with them either.
  21. StayinThailand2much
    Funny, just a few days ago we learnt that "Thailand Ranks Ninth in the World for Country Most Open for Business". Wonder, how that fits in with 64th rank in the Economic Freedom Index.
  22. StayinThailand2much
    Well, if they were out for the average Thai, good luck with that... Even some well-to-do Thais are nowadays 'careful with money' when it comes to restaurant visits. Still plenty of expats in Bangkok as a possible clientele.
  23. StayinThailand2much
    How about a Safety Dance?
  24. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, and once more, for good reasons, together with India, they're attracting most of the investments relocating from China, and not Thailand.
  25. StayinThailand2much
    What does handing out cash to everyone and their dog have to do with U.S. companies investing in Thailand? Fat chance that U.S. investments would benefit from such a short-lived consumer stimulus. Plus, sooner or later the money will have to be brought in again via higher taxes.
