So you spend your time with HiSo's exclusively, who respond to your manipulation. Apologize. My BS meter is totally destroyed.

I am guessing there will be thresholds applied, amounts more than 100K, 500K baht or 1 million baht attract the interest of the taxman. Lower than that, it's not worth the effort.

Yes they do. Does that get reported to the tax authorities, though?

The three ways I can think of in terms of reducing tax in Thailand are as follows: 1/ Getting married to a Thai, to take maximum advantage of allowances. 2/ Only remitting funds from savings which can be proved to have accrued prior to January 1, 2024. 3/ Bringing in cash to Thailand when returning from one's country of origin.

Tried it once, frankly don't know what the fuss is about. Tasted like slightly sweetened grapefruit. My breath smelled like sewer gas for about two hours afterwards. Revolting.

I assume a TM30 is filed for me at the hotel I stay at overnight in Bangkok, en route to Chiang Rai. There does not seem to be any requirement to do a new TM30 in Chiang Rai.

Should be no problem at all. I opened a joint account at Bangkok Bank ( already had an account there ) for exactly the same reasons as the OP.

Why anyone would consider purchasing a bike under dodgy circumstances, when there are so many legitimate ones available, is one of life's mysteries. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Not surprising he is feeling the heat, being that obese. Most people leaving Thailand IMO never did thorough research before coming here.

A tad immobile due to minor foot surgery, binge-watching "Justified".

AFAIK your qualifications and experience with "science" consists of being some kind of retired nursing assistant. I suppose next, you'll be posting advice on neurosurgery for glioblastomas, given your extensive background in medicine.

I am thinking more of the frequency a 20 yo would be demanding from her partner. I'd agree older guys can sustain the sex for longer than a teenager, and a more experienced partner helps. If you are claiming you can manage sex 4 times in one night at 77 yo, I'll file that in my BS bin.

Agree. Why anyone would allow their account to be used in an arrangement which shrieks to high heaven of money laundering is beyond my comprehension.

Good for you.

How well do you think 64 yo Percy would work with a horny 20 yo? I don't want my body repatriated. Keep it simple, cremate me here.

Thai food is quite healthy if one avoids sugar and rice, both contribute to obesity. It is usually served in smaller quantities, which is another plus. The Thai addiction to sugar is illustrated by the fact Thailand has a population of 72 million, yet Mitr Phol is the fifth largest producer of sugar world-wide. Thais use sugar in most dishes to soften the bite of chili. They look nonplussed when I ask them to omit it.

I am done with trying to explain the thermodynamics of global warming and climate change...

Damn sure I won't be buying in coastal areas. While Bangkok may be sinking due to groundwater extraction, the fact remains the city is only 1 metre above sea level, sitting on Thailand's biggest river. There will always be people out there who are smarter than me. From what you have posted, you are not one of them.

Let me know when you get your education in thermodynamics so you can understand current data and trends.

I have a condo, not interested in owning a house. You only own your house in Thailand. You don't own the land it sits on.

I can hack one or two days in my GF's village, after that boredom sets in. There's also roosters crowing at 2 am, six of the neighbor's dogs setting up a mass howl at 3 am, and caterwauling from felines any time of the night. The temple has loudspeakers, sometimes the monks will be broadcasting at 5 or 6 am. Peaceful my @rse. The police don't come in, the poo yai settles any disputes. It's a barter economy, surrounded by rice fields. Women earn 200 baht a day there, men get 300. Neighbors trade bananas, rice, frogs, chickens, eggs. AFAIK I am the only foreigner there.

Not with those boobs...

Nothing to worry about, the climate sceptics have it covered. Rising seas are fake news.

I know foreigners who have lived here for years without speaking a word of Thai. Usually, they have acquired a companion of either sex who acts as their communication conduit. Tourists, different story. Just carry a good translator. Up to you how much Thai you want to learn. Most professional Thais can speak some English. I decided to become reasonably competent in Thai. If I was going to live here long-term, I thought it would make life easier. It has.
