  1. I just read about this little nugget of insanity for the first time...

     

    Everyone please do look at a map to see how close this is to Pattaya

    Thailand is a big place.....It would be madness to try and cram a major new city in here....Not that I would believe it would ever happen in my life time but still why the bloody hell even think about building a major city next to the already pretty congested Pattaya....


    These people are sick in the head I tell ya....

  2. Well if I had to guess  the most profitable businesses in Pattaya I would not guess bars or restaurants....

     

    Number one on my list would be Visa Agents.....They do a smoking business with very very low low overhead....And they get weekends off and lots of holidays.....Nice Job...

    Yeah that valuation is complete nonsense, even Coke or Heroin would be MUCH cheaper than that in any country in the world including the hard to smuggle countries.

     

    Conclusion - they're all lying through their teeth. I wonder what else they lie about?

     

    9 kilos= 317 ounces ......Lets say 250 dollars a ounce X 317= about 79,000 dollars which is about 2,500,000 Baht

     

    32.4 million baht ????

    I doubt that very much.  They probably just rephrased the Bkk Post article.  But since nobody at the moment really knows what will be happening, we just have to wait.

     

     

    What?.....We just have to wait?

     

    What is this groundhog day or some thing....

     

    The very first day they announced the taxes....Everyone on this forum agreed we will 'JUST HAVE TO WAIT" for the details..

     

    6 months later...we will 'JUST HAVE TO WAIT"

     

    1 year later...we will 'JUST HAVE TO WAIT"

     

    Going on 2 years later...we will 'JUST HAVE TO WAIT"

     

    Folks any momentum this tax had at the beginning has long long ago been frittered away....

     

    The Thais realized some time ago that they got in WAY over their head (hopelessly so)  

    with trying on this income tax, especially with the farang expats...

     

    So any of you thinking   we will 'JUST HAVE TO WAIT" for clarity...

     

    I think you will ' HAVE TO WAIT" for a VERY VERY long time....Most likely forever...
