Excellent video, puts it all in perspective.

I think the survivors would disagree with you, perhaps they find closure by opening this up and realising they are not alone. There's also the issue of compensation. If you don't open it up, you don't get compensation.

Does that go for Jimmy Savile too?

He was never given citizenship either, it goes back to the initial battle for Harrods between Al Fayed & Tiny Rowlands. There was skullduggery in the way Al Fayed financed the purchase of Harrods and it didn't go down well with "the city", the government & the monarchy. Right from the get-go he was persona non grata.

@4myr What kind of budget would you have for your new car?

IMHO, the most important fact in selecting a new EV is the battery chemistry, it really needs to be LFP.

I’ve just had 5 nights in Phuket, I’ve stayed many times. I have to say it is a <deleted> hole.

Only the ZS and ES/EP models have modular batteries. unlike the MG4 the warranty is 8 years, the MG4 has a lifetime warranty on the battery and it's one large pack. The taxi we use for airport runs is an MG EP+, he picked us up last week for our Phuket trip and it was off the road. He got flooded in the recent Chiang Rai floods and one module has to be replaced, including labour 100k THB.

My daughter has the MG4 X standard range, I drove it for a few months too and I just took it to Makro with her today, it's a fantastic car and great fun to drive.

I'd go so far as to say any criticism of any religion superstition by anyone for whatever reason is perfectly valid.

Any pickup over 1M baht is likely to be a lifestyle pickup.

My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend. On the issue of Islam, the Quran is supposed to be the word of god but on the subject of science it has been proven wrong. Which one is more likely, millions of followers believing it’s the word of god who made a mistake or a proven criminal warlord writing a piece of fiction that has fooled millions?

I have a Krups "bean to cup" machine at my primary residence which makes 2 cups a day. I bought a 1,500 baht Nespresso type machine on Lazada for our Chiang Mai home. I'm only there for a few days a month, sometimes not at all for 2 months. I buy good quality capsules and it's a great solution for occasional use.

I've been thinking about that too. How did you find somewhere in Phils, do you rent 6 months a year and come back to same building or rent the whole year?

He's right, we should all drive a Celery

I think that is spot on and very important. The "Ostraka" monthly dining group" in Chiang Rai is in it's 8th year specifically because it is non-judgmental and open to everyone. Next month is at Accha Indian Restaurant in Chiang Rai and it's always 12 noon, always the 2nd Thursday of the month. It's easy for people to remember though they may need to ask at which restaurant it is at.

At some point in the future, there are a few transactions I want to do and will ensure I am not tax resident that year. One of those transactions will be selling a few BTC on BitKub. And remember to count arrival and departure days as being here.

Very interesting, I compliment you on your research.

I'm curious, why do you think it's a safer battery?

My advice is to buy a one year old car and choose a model that depreciates massively in the first year. Suzuki Ciaz, MG ZS or something similar. Budget no more than 400k thb. 2024, still under warranty, how much can you lose?

Cardless Cash won't work for me, I typically sell more than 1 BTC at a time.

Could it be there are >46% more EV's on the road? Not enough information there Sherlock.

You will find the crypto tax listed in one of the tax guides posted on AN, I will save you looking it up, if you bought your crypto on a regulated Thai exchange you pay PIT (up to 35%) on the profit, if you didn't buy it this way then you pay PIT on the entire transaction amount. All the approved exchanges practice KYC and output data to the TRD every year. If you sell overseas and bring the money here, it's up to you "if and how" you declare it.

You couldn't be more wrong. I think you can bring money into the country without any issue, but they are like mustard on the crypto exchanges and all the brokers on localcoinswap will 100% be giving your details to them. The safest way is to sell here when non-tax resident or sell overseas and bring the money here.

You have the same taxation issues as selling on a Thai exchange.
