Just here??

Anyone got a valid email I can use? I tried 5 different ones - all invalid. Called the three "help" lines. Line 1. Waited forever on hold. Nothing. Line 2. Eventual answer. Asked for English. Sawadeekaaa. English? Sawadeekaa. English? Hung up on me. Line 3. Constantly engaged. If I start charging for my time for ridiculous govt things, at what level will I have to pay tax?

I just checked my wallet for my list of SHA+ approved venues. Damn, must have dropped it somewhere.

Do we get to choose which country the condo is in?

Why? Do you think they do a great job with the taxes? 1. If your pension is taxed in your home country, then you will be exempt from tax on it here. 2. If you have a capital amount that is over 12 months old you could draw on that and replace it with pension income, thereby avoiding the tax.

Interesting. How would you type that, sit in the chair, cook your dinner, and anything else, without mining?

Ummmm. Not quite. Any number of days does not make you resident. That's why, here for example, there are 473 different visas and to get one of them often involves jumping through many hoops. Otherwise we would all just stay 180 days and be resident. Your country is NOT going to chase you down and say we dont want your taxes any more, give them to some other country. Getting a TIN seems to differ depending where you live. In my case it was passport, plus Cert of Residence from Immigration. Nothing too difficult. Actually filing a tax return was a different story. An unsuccessful one. Important point. Having a Thai TIN does NOT make you tax resident in Thailand. The TIN is just an admin thing, albeit one that can be very useful, and possibly negate your need for tax residency here.

Dont come around here with your logic. It's not welcome. ????

Search Lazada for P47. I paid 97 baht a few weeks back. Pleasantly surprised with sound quality and battery life. Recharge with micro USB (normal phone charger). Also has a slot for TF card. Easy bluetooth connection to TV, phone and computer. They also fold up for travel. I dont know how they can make them at that price.

A grand plan, until the landlord or his agent disconnects the electricity.

One must wonder how they came up with a price, with no info from the performers or their management. ????????????????

Not much to be concerned about. The lack of flights, along with the fact that many that may have come in previous years are now suffering their own financial dilemmas due to job losses, etc, etc, etc, will keep the influx to low numbers.

And there we have it. A good portion of what is wrong with the world. People with scant information, and less knowledge on the subject matter, appointing themselves, judge, jury and executioner.

Better to save a trillion by trimming the fat.

I remain perplexed on how they 'focus' on a nationality or two. Language training for bar girls and 7-11 staff?

Yesterday mine took 17 seconds. Tip: If you are transferring from a 'normal (aka thieves)' bank account to here, that could cause delays. Send your money to your Wise account before you need it, pick the timing of the exchange rate on Wise, and then transfer.

One million high net worth people over 5 years comes to 548 per day, every day. Yep, that's going to happen.

Good job. Thanks Pib ????

An hour's searching produced no results, so perhaps the OP can assist. How long in advance is an extension based on retirement supposed to be actioned? For example, if it expired on 1 November, when should a visit to immigration happen? Thanks

A little maths shows that 1 million high net worth individuals over 5 years comes to................ 548 people joining the program EVERY DAY.

Buy pickled onions. Consume onions. Put eggs in onion jar.

Bitcoiners are like religious zealots. Always pushing their ideals, which carry the same weight as the sky fairies. Shush. This is about gold.

Registered a few days after it opened. Included a pic of scales showing 100Kg+ (too lazy to get medical cert) Received confirmation email, then nothing. 18 Aug a SMS arrived. Turn up at Central Pattaya on 20 Aug. Done. Go back 10 Sept.

Was at a well known Pattaya hospital last week, for a non painful condition. Simply crazy pricing, including one small procedure that was FIFTEEN times the price I previously paid in a clinic. I asked for a prescription to take with me. "Cannot. Not same your country." I took the medical report and myself off to Fascino pharmacy, and paid a quarter of the price for the meds.
