Mikes millions of posts have quietly been egging on the whole stinking chaotic unfair tax mess and have been trying to giving it validity......Validity that it in no way deserves.....I am still not quite sure what his motive is,but a house can not be built on rotting foundation..

Have you been living it a cave fore the past 20 years or what? Maybe many years ago expats were welcomed in Thailand but for at least the last 20 years they have just been tolerated at best... I cant recall a single policy or program that was designed to make expats life better ever... Checking in with immigration every 90 days like criminals....Being called dirty farang.....Double pricing seems just fine with the government....God forbid if you wanted a marriage visa and the hell you had to go through to get that...Ever tightening and more complicated visa rules......bla bla bla need I go on? It been a looong time since expats felt welcomed...

What are you guys complaining about? You can get a My Beer at Las Vegas for only 70 baht....Thats only a little more than 7-11 pricing.... And if a extra 15 baht is going to break the bank...Trust me you have a lot more problems than just beer prices...

A drink at a Singapore bar costs between $12 - $20. SGD Or 326 Baht to 544 Baht for one drink And lady drinks can cost 3X as much....

I am of the opinion by the time they get this highly complex tax mess figured out it could be decades into the future....So I am just not going to worry about it..... This tax nonsense is trying to steal peoples retirement years...Its simply Evil...

It looks to me like they have pretty much thrown in the towel on getting Thais to pay any taxes..Rich or Poor.... But hey maybe we can get a few bread crumbs from retired expats with pensions, who have a fixed incomes and a limited budget every month... Turning expats retirement years into a living tax hell. sounds like their plan....

Laws change like the wind here......Dont trust any of it especially if you are a farang..

Sir you must be rich if your paying 3K a month for rent... Its not very good manners to brag about your wealth...

I does not matter if they get a million things wrong a million times.. There is always the tried and true...( It was all just a big misunderstanding) To come to the rescue..... I

Get well soon Thaksin

And what benefits will you be getting from the government? Let me think......How about zero benefits.... except you will be free to carry on with 90 day reporting as usual....

Sir please dont ask the mega wealthy to debase and lower themselves to the level of the dirty riff-raff ordinary tax payers.....Its simply a insult to the mega wealthy to imply that they should ever pay any taxes....

Dogmatix....Another outstanding post here....

This is a point I have brought up many times..... Most all country's that ask people to pay tax also throw in some sweeteners....Take the USA.......Paying you taxes also gives you the option to pay into Social Security...And gives you access to medicare health care.... Same in Thailand....Paying your taxes gives you the option to pay into Social Security and heath care for Thais and farangs with a work permit.... And Now they are hoping that retired expats who have never worked one day in their life in Thailand, and most with no business interest or investments at all in Thailand and who also have no rights and are treated like children by immigration with 90 day check ins and what not... Will be happy to shell out for taxes and and be given a big fat ZERO in return.... Any one who thinks this is in any way fair is just a stupid sheep that deserves to be sheared....

The big fish have a 100% tax free LTR visa so they have no problem if the little fish are forced to pay all the taxes and they pay zero taxes..

This was why the LTR visa was created... The LTR visa was created to make sure the very well-off and rich never have to pay any taxes... The way they look at things its just wrong to make the very wealthy pay any taxes.....Taxes are only for the middle class and the poor....

Nope... Keeping every one confused is the point of all of this...And I would say they have been pretty successful...

Man talk about beating a dead horse with the word "Hub" Give it a bloody break....They never tire of using this dumb word...Endlessly...

Whats funny is any big company like Google or Microsoft with way over 1 billion baht income in Thailand, You can bet your last dollar their army of lawyers will make sure they dont pay, Jack....

Well....Lucky for me I have less than 1 billion baht in income.... I have a ways to go, to go from my 1,800 dollars a month to reach 1 billion baht.......

Who will pay for the construction......The Public... And who will own them......The right people... And who will lose?.......Everybody except the right people...

All these fragile people should pretty much be expired by now.... Who have been waiting ages for this 10,000 baht, that was going to save them... This 10,000 baht will be gone in days, then whats going to happen to the fragile people?

Expat Retirees get about as much respect as Soi Dogs in Thailand....

I smell some hidden forbidden media stock shares that are about to be uncovered, even if they dont exist..

Thais becoming tax payers?....Sir you must be joking....After the last 50 years taxing only a tiny minority pay taxes...
