How often do people need to repeat and explain that that is not true at all. Not everyone is a idiot to be paying tax in general. It is a issue for anyone who lives offshore, no matter what your list shows. Why do you think this guy is even speaking up in the first place, because his concerns of those poor countries that are not in the DTA? Wake up man.

Idiots once again. The Thais already forgot Prayut said the same in 2014.

Didn't trump lose while he should not have lost, while we now know that Sam bankman fried of FTX was in reality a illegal 6th largest political donor? That means the coup was real.

Sanity requires brains

You got to be freaking kidding me. All this BS news to increase hours, to now once again, like seriously, come up with alcohol times??? They deserve zero tourists. Even those that visit Thailand barely bother to go in a scam bar of scam Thailand. It's like you almost need to ask permission to go into the pool, same they closed chlorine pools during covid. Zero brains really.

Still sleeping, he had too much last night

It's called a free high from being smart. Stupid people usually look like they are on sleep pills too.

Yeah or at least just be able to apply for it online already, so that you then only need to come by for a brief 10 minutes to stamp the passport, if at all. Love this with the Vietnam visa too, just apply online and then print the letter, a tiny stamp on entry and departure only and no other hassle needed anymore. If it would really be hassle free and 10 minutes in and out like that, thanks to having it online, I would not even mind coming by every 3-6 months.

I bought the mover cart a few year ago at Makro but i think they are on Lazada as well. It's super useful for all kinds of stuff.

It is actually the least likely way and otherwise slow way, to get rich, with the mindset that money is limited. You describe the old way of getting 'rich'. In business, money is unlimited, you do not need to live frugal or cheap at all, neither are debts a issue. You just need to invest a proper amount from the youngest age possible, monthly. If you start very young even 300$ a month could be enough, if it started 30 years ago. The funny thing is that most people not think about it until 40-50, same you describe ''when i was about 40''.

I could imagine the $$$ earned on shotgun approach also helps a lot with that happening more in countries like this one.

I don't get this entire debate about water and groceries. I just bought this automatic water pump and then order 5 of those large water things that last quite a while, they are delivered and I have a small plastic mover with wheels to the elevator for this job. I do the same with grocery deliveries. What is left to buy always fits on the motorbike and backpack.

Makro can deliver too right

Is it worth it or would it been a good investment? No of course not, this entire stuff with the condo's is nothing but a big bubble and people were playing roulette to just try buy and sell and make quick money in it for a few years. As you wrote yourself already for this specific condo: it is now already in a <deleted>ty state, will only get worse. Then people can of course pretend the current listing price and square meter price is XXX but in reality (almost) nobody is paying it. And eventually the market will crash (soon).

This has nothing to do with Thailand, this is what most banks offer you if you are using a foreign card. And it is not always the best deal to take ''no'' either.

Happened to me a few times when using EU cards, sucks if you are on a tight budget as it can take a while to get back. I always try to use a HSBC or Citibank ATM in SE asia when using cards from europe to avoid issues.

No offence but how would you remember ><

So why do you start this topic here, if you basically write exactly what is 99% sure the cause of your issue. You got your karma back, dangerous game to play with those call center scam gangs, they have a lot of budget and resources. Your money likely is in nigeria or india then lol.

That's just nonsense people say who not have money, to have a valid excuse or base argument whenever the money topic or issue pops up. But yeah of course, the first important thing is to be happy with themselves.

You are more or less right, this is due to the insane act of money printing in the past years too. Basically what used to be 1 million is now 3 million. That is rich. To have more than that in your example is called being wealthy. Many people seem to not understand the difference between 'rich' and 'wealthy'. Imagine the issue for people who are now young or working and want to retire, need much more. Same reason stocks keep going up while companies are down in reality, that is because the dollar is worth fk all, not because those companies do so incredible well. The opposite often and same counts for houses.

''The going price now'' and are there actual buyers who would put that figure down if you now wanted to sell 20 rai at once? My family in law also have over 100 rai and the going price is outstanding, however once they wanted a mortgage or loan for a house on the same land, it was barely worth anything compared to those figures, to the banks at least. Those prices are insane high for the middle of nowhere in Thailand.

I've lived with both and israeli on islands in the south, there is little going on about those subjects. Both sides are crooked, so better to just not talk it and be peaceful.

I think there is more ukranian hiding than there is russians. Russians just come on holiday and go back.

Doesn't matter how one looks like if flashing a rolex and spending dollars.

What's there to know anyway, I was more curious about a picture of him today and the eventual sentence that is actually within Thailand.
