  1. That one is living in a foreign land like a refugee from year to year till he dies, possibly using a "wify" visa, which speaks volumes about putting up a fight.
  2. Tourists who live here for less than 180 days do not have to file anything. Now the question is: what is the definition of money brought to Thailand for people who don't have any incomes from Thailand but have lived there for more than 180 days? Are credit card expenses considered money brought to Thailand? Are credit card or debit card withdrawals from ATMs considered money brought to Thailand? The regulation must clarify it. My plan is now to spend as much as charging credit cards and withdrawing money from ATMs using debit cards.
  3. A tourist visa will give you three months, and a visa exemption is two months. You can rinse and repeat.
  4. Give me a break. If it does not exist, then how are all those people living in Thailand using "wify" visas?
  5. Americans are responsible for and punished for child sexual abuse anywhere in the world, just like they are responsible for their worldwide income for tax obligations. He can bribe his way out of Pattaya, but he still has to face justice in the US.
  6. I see. I am not sure what these remittances are there for, but it says if the credit card settles. If I don't settle or pay the minimum and incur interest payments, is it deductible?
  7. Most sites where I shop for tickets offer to charge in either local currency or USD. I always opt for local currency.
  8. Some cards have refundable ATM charges. Assuming a person does not carry it, the charge of 225 baht for a withdrawal of 30K (or 20K) at a time is still acceptable.
  9. I never had any trouble shopping in Thailand. That you had to travel 10,00 miles to live in a foreign land, possibly using a "wify" visa, speaks volumes.
  10. All Pattaya expats does not live in tourist ghettos.
  11. I don't go to immigration office. At the port of entry, if they ask me, I will say I support myself using credit cards. I already use credit cards for most of my transactions anyway. I have to find ways to do it more when I use cash now. This month I'm running an experiment with withdrawing from ATMs (using my US-issued Charles Schwab ATM card) and using my credit card as much as possible. Technically, credit card purchases are loans and not earnings.
  12. I bring 2K USD/month to Thailand using Wise to my Thai bank for my cash expenses. All other expenses are either credit cards or direct payments to people, not to my account. Do I pay taxes if I withdraw 30K Baht each using an ATM twice a month? How will the Thai government track how much money I have brought to Thailand for tax purposes? They can't use ATM withdrawals because, in today's society, tourists are expended to use ATMs.
  13. Never let your different worlds collide. Never talk about other women in your different worlds with a girl. Follow these simple mantras.
  14. If most Thais don't pay for your level of earnings, you also won't pay. There is no dispute about that. You can't live in a land that has given you a life without paying taxes. There are always options.
  15. Yes, it is an exclusive deal, but what they do in their free time is not in my control. I pay them, but I don't control them. We have a verbal agreement that each one will spend at least one night with me in a week for unlimited shots and other kinky sex stuff. They are all below 30 and 8.
  16. Don't get ladies every day. I keep four ladies to satisfy my physical and sexual needs. I found it cheaper. I used to keep one sugar baby in the US, and now I can afford four in Thailand for the same price.
  17. I think the important question is: can he exit with an expired passport (and overstay)? I believe the reason for seeking a new passport to replace the expired one is to exit and pay the fine at the airport.
  18. Wondering what's the opportunity cost of using an agent instead of keeping the money in a Thai bank?
  19. Another dimwitted response. They are expecting a surge in land border crossings. This does not imply there is a surge in Chinese tourists.
  20. Dimwitted response from people who had to flee 10,00 miles to find a decent living in a foreign country and possibly to find a bride also. There is a surge in land border crossings, but there is a decrease in Chinese visitors overall.
  21. As a US citizen, you pay taxes no matter where you live. You don't pay taxes on all your incomes from the US in Thailand. You will pay taxes for the portion you bring to Thailand. My suggestion is to pay taxes in Thailand and deduct them from US obligations.
  22. I have four partners that I sleep with regularly in our birthday suits. I like the silky, smooth feeling of women's skin in their birthday suits. I get four in Thailand for the price of one in the USA.
  23. Why such a fuss? If he was a police officer in the past and also a PM, was he not covered by Thai insurance after he left the job?
