for you as a foreigner the main concern should not be the tax but

to get caught selling on line without a work permit; as it might

be considered work.

as for the thai tax man, i guess he is more flexible than in other counries, and will

make things easier. it all depands on the amounts involved. if the sales are in large

volume the tax authorities will take notice.

MAYBE I'LL TRY EMAILING AGAIN TO SEE IF I CAN GET A REFUND VIA EMAIL AND THUS BOOK ANOTHER AIRLINE BACK TO EUROPE

my advice to you is NOT to go for the refund but instead use the ticket to get

back to europe.

all big airlines are same same these days and changing to another airline will not help.

the airlines coperate on arranging flights and share between themselves the passengers

to help returining passengers.

the refund will take long time and a lot of phone calls and energy.

you can find turkish airline phone no. on their web site. they are proffesionals.

call them and they will help you find a new flight back; Even from bangkok - no need

KL. Everything is flexible these days.

there were a lot of pneumonia cases way back in february but no covid cases for some reason

the reason is that nobody checked for covid. so no covid.

THIS is the ultimate proof that they did not have covid-19

He can withdraw the maximum from the ATM, or maybe even a cash advance over the counter, and then deposit the money straight into his bank account in his home country.  

WELL it depands on the amount, but aventually cash is cash and you will not be able to prove

the source of the cash even if you deposited it straight to your account.

i know someone who deposited 80K usd in cash over 2 years, in small amounts.

he was not a criminal and did not understand what he is doing.

2 years later the bank flagged and blocked his account and asked for documents

showing the source of the money and taxes paid. These days in many countries the banks

became tax collecting agencies, and hate cash as they do not earn commissions with it.

Many thais bought condo/houses as a form of investment. Most of them is fully paid.

someone explained to me once that many properties stand empty in thailand

because they were repossesed by the banks after failed loans, but the banks

are not able to resell them so they keep them empty so they will show as assets on their books.

keep the ATM receipt.

ATM receipt will not help, nor depositing the cash into another bank account,

as you cannot connect them to the cash - cannot prove anymore that the cash you hold

is the same cash you withdrew from the ATM.

it all depands on the amount of course, but it might become a problem,

even many years later (in case of depositing

the cash into another account).

that is why banks around the world , incl. thailand, are making the on line trasfers easier.

they are preparing to a world without cash. scary.

i also found on lazada amazing prices and very suspicious price differences. so

i looked at the reviews there in thai, and traslated them on google.

seems like there are many fake goods there, and thai people compain again and again about

the fake iphone 10 or samsung A80 they got there (in china they make great copies

of latest models) , and the trader is not willing to exchange.

i wil not be surprised if this body will start talking suddenly

Thailand is considered territorial  tax country.

you pay taxes only on what you earn in thailand.

you do not have to pay taxes nor even report on what you earned outside 

thailand.

terms and condition apply/

you sound like old school.

the way to transfer money now is transeferwise.

waaay much cheaper and no bank hastling.

if there was a huge amount of the population suffering or dying, we would know. So i do believe they've escaped the worst of it. 

no you would not know.

if thousands of people died in thailand from the virus, you would not know.

it is known only to senior officials.

there are very good and simple ways to hide it.

you see what the media wants you to see. in every country.

What is an 'invested in condo' retiree. As far as I know, owning residential property in Thailand doesn't necessarily afford one any residential rights in the country (I used to own a condo there).

There is an INVESTOR VISa where you can invest 300K USD even in a condo or thai stocks, and get

a long term visa.

Most of the mobile banking apps (at least all the 4 that I have) added international transfer function last year. And apparently it works without a work permit.

that is dramatic news. if true.

but is an OTP needed ?
