Obviously OP has been been jumped by a group of them.

Once again, what part of "they want you to have a Thai tax number" did you not understand?

WTF are you talking about? It's a Thai tax number. Not a US SS #. Is English not your first language?

We have a guy who has a cold, and a guy who can't stop lying if his life depended on it, tried to overthrow the country, wants to replace the entire federal workforce with yes men, and is a convicted felon. Tough choice.

Not sure if they want foreign tax numbers but they do want you to have a Thai tax number if you are in Thailand longer than 6 months.

And that's a bad thing? I know American Lawyers working in Thailand. According to them it's not much of a problem. I believe they just have Thai lawyers working for them doing all the legal paperwork.

Hmmm, 200+ pages of clowns and conspiracy theorists doing their usual whining, or a Thai tax lawyer that does this for a living. So hard to decide who to listen to.

So you don't believe an actual tax lawyer in Thailand, but you will believe anonymous comments on an internet forum overrun with clowns and conspiracy theorists?

Like that time the convicted felon convincingly pandered by throwing paper towels after the hurricane in Puerto Rico? Yea, the world's most pretentious and selfish loser totally cares about the little people. 👌

One thing that sounds like a bit of a loophole to me is ATMs. If you take money out of the ATM from your home country bank, it's not considered repatriated, so not subject to Thai tax. It's only considered repatriated when you transfer money to a Thai bank account. I am assuming it's the same if you use western union or some other cash pickup service. So if you used ATMs or cash pickup as much as possible you can reduce your Thai tax exposure quite a bit.

Thanks for identifying yourself. Must be a mensa candidate as well.

Anyone that supports a world class loser with multiple felones for president is obviously also a loser.

The minimum plan limit is five million pounds. He's obviously not going to be anywhere close to that but I am sure the brain operation was not cheap. The medevac included a doctor and a nurse accompanying him in business class. So that's not going to be cheap either. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/travel-insurance

It's hard not to get that you are in a cult when you keep trying to reminding us constantly. Like children throwing fits trying to get their parents attention.

The convicted felon should pick another convicted felon to keep everything copacetic. Unfortunately, when you don't include the people in prison or going to prison the list gets a lot shorter.

The poisoning of the former KGB people on UK soil, and then the annexing of Crimea should have been wake up calls. Better late than never.

Why do you feel the need to inject your espionage convicted felon hero into a totally unrelated conversation?

I liked the idea of living in Thailand up until very recently. Not just because of the tax and visa hassles, but because of the air pollution. That keeps getting worse every year. Now I am looking at the Philippines. The infrastructure and food is not as good, but the air quality is a lot better on average, and no tax/visa hassles.

Most of the time it's not worth it, until it is. That is just how insurance works. There is a fairly well known travelling vlogger that just got diagnosed with a brain tumor. It caused him to suddenly lose the use of one side of his body. Also seems to be having some mental problems. He just got medevac'd back to the UK after weeks in a Sriracha Hospital in ICU, including a brain operation to take a sample. If he didn't have good travel medical insurance paying for it all it probably would have wiped him out financially.

What visas are valid visas? What about a tourist visa?

TiT. They have their own way of doing things.

How would anything change with less than 30 day rentals if the foreign ownership quota increased? I am pretty sure lots of those are thai registered. A lot of condo buildings don't allow less than 30 days anyways.

Serious question. How would this increase competition with hotels? Can people not already rent out Thai registered condos to foreigners?

Only the really stupid ones, so LOTS I guess.
