  1. I'd love to find some at that price, where are they? At 16,000 baht per month rent, that's almost an annual ROI 1,000,000%! But after 15% tax, and expenses, closer to 800,000%, still, not bad.
  2. Ok, by that logic, alcohol and cigarettes should also be banned. They're both worse for your health. You could also argue that e-cigarettes are beneficial for smokers, not as good as quitting, but better than regular cigarettes are more toxic. That said, random Chinese vapes could be worse, all the more reason for proper regulation.
  3. Can you get a loan as a foreigner using a condo as collateral? And proof of income, outside Thailand. LTV, 50 - 80%? What are the visa requirements? Avg interest? 7 - 10%?
  4. Most of these planes were effectively "stolen" from Western leasing companies. Under normal aviation safety regulations, airlines must provide up-to-date maintenance logs and use certified parts from approved manufacturers. They obviously, can't.
  5. Same ol, same ol... bla bla bla. Actions speak louder than words.
  6. Thanks, actually less tax than I thought.
  7. When you sell a condo here, I believe you pay "income" tax on the profits. I would have assumed you deduct expenses, but TIT, so just checking. Let's say you buy a fixer upper for 2 million baht. You spend 500k baht on renovations and repairs. Later you sell for 3 million baht. Profit is 500k? Or 1 million?
  8. Does anyone know where there's horseback in CM? I remember seeing it around 5 years ago cycling west of Suthep... But nothing showing up on Google maps. Thanks.
  9. I couldn't agree more! I looked at a lot of older condos and that was a common theme, including mine. Of course I renovated it, nice furniture etc. Even renting here, it's crazy the amount of condos stuck in the 80s/90s!
  10. I'm looking into selling my condo in CM. Can anyone recommend an agent or agency. What's the typical fee they charge? 2 - 3% I believe Chinese account for up to 50% of purchases over the past few years, so an agent that deals with them would be good. Thanks.
  11. That's not how murder works, attempted or not. GBH I reckon. The Porsche driver needs to do time, 3 - 5 years and pay a lot more than 200k.
  12. Well, I'd like to know exactly what I've been contaminated with, wouldn't you?
  13. So just noticed after drinking half the bottle, a lot of weird white flakes floating in it. A well known brand, bought at 7 eleven. Has anyone had water tested here. After a google search, I found https://maritime.cmu.ac.th/en/laboratory-testing-service/ Everything is in Thai... I'll give them a call, but I'll probably need the help of a Thai. Just wondering if there are any other options.
  14. The vital evidence will stand up in court.
  15. Just another day in St Phuketsberg
  16. We pay registration tax for roads. We pay for electricity. We pay for food & entertainment, a lot more than the average Thai. We pay for doctors (a lot more than locals) Most expats wouldn't mind paying tax, if we were treated like a resident rather than a tourist.
  17. Don't forget the cartoon sound effects!
  18. Minimum 10 years prison and a hefty fine.
  19. Like, access to public healthcare, public schools for kids, voting rights, pathway to citizenship.... or anything? Or, do you pretty much have the same rights as a tourist or ED visa holder?
  20. who in their right mind would invest in this business model?
  21. Does every country include VAT on the shipping cost, or is it just Thailand? I paid 120% duty/fees on a shipment from France, as they dinged me for the shipping too.
  22. They also like to include the shipping fee in the tax and there's extra fees. I recently had an item delivered from Alibaba, the fees were 38% I also had a ledger sent from France last year, the fees were over 100% (they taxed the shipping fee which was over 100 euro)
  23. Those filthy farrangs again! They must be stopped.
