Even if every expat in Thailand paid 1,000 dollars a year in taxes...It would only be a drop in the bucket as far as paying off 560 billion baht.....I am talking like 150-200 years.... Do the math and see for yourself....

NOTHING IS FREE IN THAILAND.....If its free there is a catch.....Sounds like this free card might end up being quite expensive..

Here is this thread

When do retired expat farangs get their 10,000...

Hey guys send me 25,000 and I will tell you NO.. A 50% discount for you.....lol

Can anyone say Hopewell err I mean DTA........lol

So your saying it appears that Thailand does not plan to honor tax treaties with other countries?.........

This is a good post......Only sheep will try and deny unpleasent things are in the works...

We need more sensable posts like this.....Instead of guys debatng how best to wear tax handcuffs and leg irons so they are most confortable... The whole thing is a unworkable mess..

And if you buy a new car or condo or need that $$$ operation? Yea its not pretty.....

To say some one only qualifies as a resident to pay a tax.... And to say they dont qualify for any other rights or benefits of being a resident or any of the benefits of paying income tax (like the option buy into Thai health care) is a Joke.....A very bad Joke.... No one can deny this......

How about here comes Nirun boo boo

It sound like they want to slap a tax-resident label on farangs just for the privilege of being taxed......With no other benifits for farang what so ever... Does a farang who is in Thailand for 179 days use a whole lot less resources than a farang that is here for 300 -365 days? Nope not really.... Especially considering almost nothing is free for a farang in Thailand 179-365 days farangs pay up same same for every thing in Thailand..

Ok fair enough But a farang who has a work visa and is working in Thailand and paying taxes on his income at least has the option to pay into the Thai health and SSc fund which comes as a benifit of paying taxes on their income in Thailand.. So what benifits would a farang on a retirement visa get if he also paid taxes on his income?

I dont want to brag but I am rich I mean like really rich... Did I tell you I was rich and not just average joe rich but rich rich rich. And besides being rich I like to complain a lot too..

No No.....This would cost money.......And kill the daily news stories about how Thais are trapped and in danger there......

So did you take you shirt off too and have a beer with him?

I agree .....They are filth for making us pay more for our smokes..

But dont make more than 120,000 a year or there will be plenty of taxes to pay..

I wonder if she flosses after meals or not?

Maybe I missed it but what did they say were the new benifits and rights a farang would get for paying taxes on income not earned in Thailand? Example....In America when you pay taxes you are also paying into social security that pays you money when you turn 62 years old....

How about the countless workers in Thailand from Burma...... Whats the tax rape their goverment announced... Some thing like 25% of income must be sent back at 50% discounted exchange rate and a 10% tax on top of that... And what if Thailand wants a 15-35% tax on top of their wages too......After expenses the Burmese will have absolutly no money and be in debt just for working.... If it was not so sad it would be funny....

Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine.? What a joke....lol How about Nigria, Russia, and China.........1,000% better chances of finding bad guys...

I think all the endless Beach Road work and Covid are the main things that killed Hooters....They were shunned by Expats from day #1......But when they started losing tourist in large numbers...That was game over....
