factually incorrect opening. All assets were divided up across the entire population, they then sold their positions to what would become oligarchs. Hence statement "Provide everyone with a carving and within 18yrs will be back to where we was".

Brits can be described as 1 pound poms (they are all broke), there is still some wealth in Northern Europeans (50+) below that they are <deleted> also. Russian's are ok (middle/upper class) it's the gangs you need to worry about.

Had a Russian work for my family business in the 90's - he bought two properties in red square before he was ejected for working illegally in the UK.

Where does one get one for when they are de-banked for not adhering to western wokeness.

3 properties on my soi have been bought by russian's so far this month, and we are not talking chump change.

Great to see restaurants, bars etc abuzz with life.... Great to see properties being snapped up for rent and sale... But it's all Russian's... Phuket... How are they paying for it all with Swift, Visa, Mastercard etc gone... How are they getting the money into the country to this degree?

Always surprised people don't Work via a local OTC or person who has a Corp company external of Thai, or has personal crypto (p2p). You give them Baht they give you USDC/USDT/etc

CRS is live already...

used to be able to do at krabi lol

Russian's bringing a lot of capital to the country, finally getting some wealth thrown around instead of broke Brits or Europeans.

You trade locally? @fdsa

Have a overseas company (Seychelles) - hire a person overseas (manager). Trade through that company, exit into fiat any dividends/income via that company, hold funds overseas in fiat until the next tax year, bring funds in, in the next tax year by Fiat (OR Stable). No tax. Thailand is a territorial tax nation, although crypto is treated as taxable in thailand even if traded abroad, using a company (with substance) negates that tax. Only crypto you bring to Thai exchanges should be in stables (as treated as currencies) which fall under capital controls (yes) but not as 'trading'. If Thailand changes its current territorial tax, then best to leave for a neighbouring country, they then loose the expenditure in country which goes to another country hence they have the territorial tax system... they like expenditure in Thailand, and collecting tax from businesses operating within Thailand, so much easier than dealing with dirty falang taxes.

There was a movie a decade or so ago that i watched where back packers would continuously head to a place known as paradise, where their organs would be harvested - this reminds me of Koh Tao, people still going even though it's referred openly as 'death island'. Government should move in and indict and eradicate what's going on, on the island, or overseas Governments should restrict their citizens from heading to Samui and the adjacent islands which are pretty much cartel/mafia run despots.

I once knew a yank working here, he was putting all the funds into his GF's account, did 120k USD in one year. Didn't declare or pay a bean.

Anyone found his tiktok? Also i trust he's paid his Thai taxes.

https://www.aprilaire.com/whole-house-products/dehumidifiers/e130-dehumidifier Bought one on Amazon who shipped previously and ended up getting stuck at customs - amazon refunded thankfully (not cheap). Anyone know any suppliers domestic (like attached that we can duct into each room), humidity gets appalling trapped below the mountain on the ocean.

Have HULU, Netflix, Prime, Disney, Apple, ESPN+ etc. Multiple VPN requirements based on the service... Grown weary as paid for HULU package and don't bother watching as too much <deleted>ery. Don't want to do one of those dodgy tv services as they always have issues (had one a decade ago - update issues, codec issues, etc). Who's the best domestic based service where i can watch in any room (on the wifi) remote if possible, and get western style tv (as in documentaries, history, etc). Not so bothered by sport - rarely if ever watch.

I remember that...

I bought 2 baht and was asked for ID - a first lol.

Chiang Mai (private company) or Silver Bullion by state in Bangkok

NEO banks? Can't mean 'real' banks as they take a lot of D/D

Such is life.

Probably a bit of a weird one, a decade and a bit ago i moved away from the UK as I was fed up with the taxes (5k a month) going to bailing out Irish banks whilst the country was a dumpster fire and everyone i knew was struggling. I was fortunate to have been earning well, and with a skillset that as beginning to flourish world wide. Unfortunately this meant i was not entitled to the UK Gov Pension as i've got a gap of 10 yrs even though I was paying far more than the average person in taxes and towards the social state whilst there. Question i have, wife has just had two sprogs, are the sprogs entitled to anything from the UK Gov (kick in the teeth to them) or is it yet another kick in the teeth to people like me that paid in fairly previously? "Sponging of the state" comments - I will refer to a immediate response of 'getting what i'm owed'.

Well to be fair, it was a arms dealer for a drug dealer (pusher/user/other) in the view of the Russians.

Sailing, Central, Food (specific restaurants we enjoy), Wine/Cheeses/Hams, BBQ's, Visit Places. May drink (session) in a bar one night a year... fell out of that scene years ago, lot of jealousy and resentment in those bars.
