Pai primarily thrives on tourism. Mostly a hippie destination, it is filled with hot springs. Known among backpackers for its relaxed atmosphere, the town is full of cheap guesthouses, souvenir shops, and restaurants.

No Indians? Where ever farang goes the Indians seem to want to go there too...

So what's this? Frog Venom?

A teenager with nothing to do could rack up quite a tidy sum of money/credits if they really worked at it...

Shipping costs really add up after a while...

Yea for sure this can be done......But it takes a bit of time to get a feel for how it all works.....I am just a beginner myself...

They give you some free coins every day just for checking in.....Lots of things to do to earn more.......Lots of layers to the app now to get free stuff, but it takes a few hours to figure it all out....

Free Shipping on Lazada if you play stupid games... Not much more to add to this.... But if you can collect enough coins by doing silly tasks or playing stupid games you really can get free shipping.....Or you might luck out on the right day and get one of their free shipping vouchers to work.... Their phone app is giving away more goodies than it used to...

Do honestly think the Indians ,Russians and Chinese are going to be slaving away over piles of forms and paperwork and tax codes and studying all the complicated details of international tax law and dealing with their country's hugely complex bureaucracy to try and prove their money is tax free..... ? Boy, I sure don't, not even for one minute..... They will just continue on as usual....

Agenda 21.....Population control....

Dont Cry...

Are you kidding.....No one has been calling for this..... Especially if you work or live there a one way on Soi Bukow would be dreadfully inconvenient and it would destroy being able to lead a car-free life there........

One-Way for Improved Flow and Safety There will be improved flow alright.....So much so that pedestrian accidents will become much more common.... Has anyone noticed there are no sidewalks?

Boy, your right about this.......Mr Smiley does not have time to run Thailand while doing his nonstop world tours since he has been in office......So in other words folks his only job is to be there for the photo ops.....

Farangs need 30 baht heath care too.....

This thread is mostly for tax chit-chat.... Since there is a lack of info.... With most all the posters against the tax but a few posters who post repeatedly here, seem determined to poo poo on any and all anti-tax arguments no matter how valid and correct the anti-tax points are....................... So here is your update.....

Ok please tell us all why its nonsense then? When every table is packed at ALL hours of the day every day, and they are holding the tourist's hands and walking them through all the paperwork.... Are the helpers there helping in their spare time as a free service to the poor farang? I think not my friend....They are there for the cold hard cash...They are making very good money off tips there every day.. If they were not taking home plenty of baht every day there would be no helpers to help the confused farang.......End of story....

Also, that place has LOADS of people working there who are very eager to help you fill in the paperwork....Knowing a nice tip will be forthcoming shortly.....I have no idea how much they make in tips but I would guess at least 1-2 thousand a day on top of their salary...

What ever.....Look at El Salvador 13% VAT and that country is very poor....

https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/quick-charts/value-added-tax-vat-rates Look at the standard VAT rates around the world.....At 7% Thailand's VAT rate is just about the lowest in the entire world......Thailand has plenty of room to raise the VAT.... The poor don't buy much so they would not pay much VAT....And the rich would pay a lot more VAT.....The VAT is a very fair tax...

Raising the VAT would painlessly raise billions and trillions of more money overnight.....So if they really needed money this is exactly what they would do.....There is nothing easy or painless about trying to milk retirees out of taxes they in no way should be paying to begin with.... So as it stands now they are not interested in raising money.... But They are interested in milking money from foreigners who should not be paying any tax... And if this was not for farangs they would have said it's not from day #1..

This will never work.... I am strongly against the whole one-way thing... But Soi Bukow must be all one-way for this to have any chance of working..

I would be quite happy to jump from 10 feet for a price....And I would walk away just fine except for a scrape or two and I am 60 years old..
