  1. You should ask what I am reading and how to get educated. Else you just get more and more shocking things that control you instead of you using it to enrich your own life. It's no different with the fact that one can earn money remotely on demand today while this used to cost 40 years career in sacrifice upfront before even considering. In a decade most people with many types of cancer get cured who still die from it daily today as well. Many things in that way are like 'magic' including simple things like AI and it's capabilities so far already. Okay okay, you win, sativa indica hybrid. Weed works for me tho, since i signed up here all my predictions were correct. From economy to visa policy to covid to bitcoin to exchange rates, russia, trump and more. I have a crystal ball.
  2. I guess you missed the point entirely, this is based on what you emit in protons / energy yourself, it is like frequencies. This is what people often refer to as magic or ghosts because we not have enough explanations for it yet even we are very close. It is the same that you simply know someone stares at you, in your back. A lot of these things we are just born with but we lose them in the modern life. But many things we also simply not use or develop as skills anymore since maybe centuries, maybe we simply never did, maybe in another time of life thousands years ago. Who knows but it is all science.
  3. Should it not be 40,000 baht today then? As it is 60 days on arrival lol.
  4. In most places it is even a rule to be shaved etc. I mean you could get away with being dressed as a real tourist if your stamps match it but otherwise... I think people confuse what this means in general anyway, you can just wear sneakers with shorts and a t-shirt, as long it is looking fresh and clean. If you arrive like you just partied until 5AM and stay at the cheapest places, not seem the freshest, have <deleted>ty clothes on + let's say overweight on top of that or a white ghost face, and then you claim you are financially good and live here, well, I would want to know more lol. They always say you need a visa but that is just because Thais are non confrontational, they actually likely mean they think you are talking BS. I can testify to this myself with 14-15 years visa run history, each time I had issues, I actually had issues in my life myself. From those years and experiences it is even a miracle I got away with it most times. Exception on the rule: female IO with period.
  5. Is never a issue to work online since years. Let alone since the DTV now, it is like even desired. We younger online workers are like what all the oldies now want here more + tourists in general. It's the old guys / sex scene that is targeted as well as gangster types or simply brokies. Seems they were schooled around covid because even the old aunties on islands in the south knew about 'digital nomads now ok' at that time. Was about time though, there has been lobby for it since 15 years already. For some reason it is mainly the old foreigners here, that somehow seem to think that is not allowed. I think this came more from jealousy than anything else, they just hoped it would be like that.
  6. I think they just really do their job to be honest, where most Thai male IO's are also often at least 10 years older already, it's just a different generation as well the male know perfectly well what the history and reason is foreign males like to be here. I could see the females dislike this in general. However it is 100% a fact that you should always try to get a male IO queue, I notice it each time even at suva airport too. Male is 15 seconds, female is 30-60 seconds + potential questions. However with the right answers, these female IO are no issue at all too. Some even like to flirt. Thais in general are very very talented, maybe one of the few things they are good at, is to know exactly when you are happy or angry, broke or not broke, have something to hide or not etc etc. They still have well developed senses that are close to nature. If you would arrive with them in such condition (stressed, afraid, broke in reality) you are 0-1 behind already unless lucky. When in Rome do as the Romans: be clean, don't smell, make short proper eye contact but otherwise watch mainly to the floor. Don't be arrogant. Don't be inpatient etc. So for example: things are delayed again or it is busy, instead of looking angry and annoyed, you just sit down and play a game on your phone like all Thais do.
  7. Never seen anyone in 14 years that needed to show actual cash, if it already came to that even a bank balance was sufficient. The classical doubt cases always get the same: flight ticket / hotel or just the hotel at least. Not that strange to ask in the first place if someone stays since years but somehow not rents a place too. Like it becomes a bit a doubtful case if someone says to live here or renew a passport here, while also having years of history, to then not have lease or permanent address + says to have vague plans. In a way the Thai IO's are very nice, I think most countries would ask more from such people. I had a few times the question where I was going, I always say I go home to here on X address. It seems they are very aware of that since these new systems of the last years, and then it is always right away fine. I assume they can see this recent or historic TM30 check-ins anyway too, that would also tell a lot of one always stays a cheap places, but i doubt it goes that far. Be happy I not work at immigration, I would make an AI algo that filters out all of those people lol.
  8. Yes as well as semi to really full passports. I know a handful of newbies that are here now 1-3 years total, all have clean passports, leave for 3-5 days every 60-90 days, come back after and except for the question 'you come back again?' with answers like: yeah i work online, never a single issue. Each time I do see people with issue they actually look wasted, broke, both, or worse. As well they then are a bit older already + have semi full passports. Thais can smell if you are broke or not, even you hide it with brand clothes.
  9. So just a random comment of a random IO with a person who most likely has a really full passport and then did a dodgy border run. With other words; nothing new here, move along. Reports like this are pathetic and nothing but fake news, specially on the low frequency this site is still used. The IO was even nice, not demanding a flight ticket but only a hotel booking in Bangkok. She did not believe him and this was the minimum she wanted.
  10. Once again a misleading and inaccurate detailled post of someone their fk'ed up decision to go there and do it wrong... So now people think they found the truth or reality or solution, by just filing randomly taxes, at random locations in Thailand, with random employees saying Yes or No. This changes like zero to the reality, in case of enforcement, checks, audits etc. It also tells others zero about what is now really going on.
  11. Puppet show, can't wait for this low life to be gone... Like she just makes me want to throw up by seeing or reading about what she did next again.
  12. The dude it clueless, too many senile dinosaurs on this website. Same as those claiming to live here 1-2-3 decades while all they did was sitting at home, a new person going out daily and travelling around would know more.
  13. You think people can't find airbnb places on the website themself? Then secondly you mention something of a year ago that was airbnb priced, have you even checked their current rates? Pretty sure it is more by now and/or fully booked otherwise. You talk about just 1 place / unit. This is how so many conflicting as well as fantasy stories exist surrounding living in Thailand and the real costs as well.
  14. Not sure what this nonsense is about again but facts are there is more people than ever having and getting a tattoo to the point its at least 50/50 to hear Yes. P.S. If you want people to actually read a few sentences of your crap, maybe reduce the length and apply spacing. The length of these nonsense posts are so much smelling like desperate employees or benefitors of this site are trying to get the last little traffic and platform activity. It will die anyway.
  15. Yup, that's why they took 3 hours to circle calmly above the andaman sea...
  16. Only when there is a rush that is done. Any landing that is not the destination airport is a 'emergency landing'.
  17. When I moved here like 12-14 years ago, they had Mein Kampf as best seller in the book store in Siam paragon mall, like an entire wall dedicated to it.
  18. No wonder they started to colonize phangan first and pai is like the second home for that. So likely they now do the same there.
  19. Chinese actually pay a lot for girls and let them come to them, that is why prices got inflated for a big part as well. Asians in general pay easy 3-5K short time.
  20. If you are bored of Bangkok you go too much to the same places in the same areas. Aside from that just go to a place like Chiang Mai for a few days and you will love to back in the big mango soon enough, traffic jams and grab car cost even more. I used to get bored of Bangkok too but that was when I always hang around sukhumvit area or like ekkamai etc. To from covid starting onwards find out that that is actually the <deleted>tiest of Bangkok compared to the dozens of other areas and places there are. The same if you look how fast they now develop around higher ratchada and lad prao area alone, is great, like semi old Thailand while having the MRT + BTS at your foot steps, you have like 10 malls in a 10 minute radius. Multiple huge daily night markets etc etc. The most funny part is you can even still get monthly rooms in those areas for just 5K baht a month. As well it is the best place to get the nightlife girls when they are not working for peanuts or free. It's like the sukhumvit gogo life without the spendings lol.
  21. Meaning there was an exploit from Kbank when using virtual cards, and you used them for purposes they not had in mind. A normal transfer is no issue at all. The thing is that a lot of money laundering and dodgy activities or hacked money is taking advantage of EMI providers like Wise etc using virtual cards from all kinds of names and company formations, causing it usually to be cancelled over time while new companies start offering it again. I guess they make enough customers and money to always start offering it but then need to stop it as soon they get too many fraud flags due to compliance etc. It's the same with crypto + debit cards, it is one after another company starting and ceasing to exist within 2 years (and while they exist they are perfectly fine to use, it is not as if you lose funds, they just need to stop offering it always). Now the latest offering this again is the Bybit exchange, I am supposed to get a real card soon aside from a virtual mastercard one. Then the question is for how many months it will work before it is cancelled again.
  22. As far I know it happens all the time since decades and there never been questions about it. I know in my own network alone a few guys who have bought houses or condo's worth 5-20M baht for their wifes and in their wife name, none are retired too. Land of the red tape. With these figures compared to traditional taxes back home, it is actually cheaper to pay a wife a monthly allowance lol.
  23. So basically if you would have a girlfriend/wife or thai child here you could just gift all education and children costs tax free, all her support money tax free, a good part or all of the housing they need tax free, to then yourself just earn like 40-50K baht on paper and effectively only pay like 2000 baht per month taxes on 100-150K baht. What is the entire issue with these new tax rules then? Unless you would be single this solves everything already? Insane that it is even existing, 10-20M a year lol. This is not even applying all other deductions or ways to also reduce it by for example also having a business that could pay rent for it's office in the same house you live or all other things in the classic text books. Then last but not least you could still pay yourself from a foreign company for tons of things like booking flights and hotels on the business, withdraw some cash for lunch costs and more. As well as keeping profits overseas in companies / assets.
  24. 1. Gifts to Ascendants, Descendants, or Spouses: • Exemption Limit: Gifts to direct family members—such as parents, children, or spouses—are exempt from personal income tax up to 20 million Thai Baht (THB) per tax year. • Tax Rate Beyond Exemption: If the total value of gifts to these individuals exceeds 20 million THB within a tax year, the excess amount is subject to a 5% personal income tax. 2. Gifts to Individuals Who Are Not Ascendants, Descendants, or Spouses (e.g., Girlfriends, Friends): • Exemption Limit: Gifts to individuals outside the immediate family are exempt from personal income tax up to 10 million THB per tax year. • Tax Rate Beyond Exemption: If the total value of gifts to these individuals exceeds 10 million THB within a tax year, the excess amount is subject to a 5% personal income tax. Key Considerations: • Definition of Relationships: Ascendants and descendants refer to direct family lines, such as parents and children. Spouses are legally married partners. Girlfriends or boyfriends are not recognized under these categories and are treated as non-relatives for tax purposes. • Documentation: Maintain clear records of all gifts, including dates, amounts, and the nature of the relationship, to ensure compliance and for potential audits. Practical Steps: 1. Assess Gift Value: Before making a gift, determine the total value to understand potential tax implications. 2. Plan Accordingly: If you plan to gift amounts exceeding the exemption limits, consider spreading the gifts over multiple years or consulting with a tax professional to explore tax-efficient strategies. 3. File Necessary Tax Returns: If the value of the gifts exceeds the exemption limits, ensure that the appropriate personal income tax returns are filed, and taxes are paid on the excess amounts.
  25. Ehh why not just close the website in the process? Any information can be found on the Internet. What a stupid comment.
