if you're not paying tax to your home country, now you have the opportunity to pay someone something. Sounds good to me. Have you got a screw loose or something agreeing to to this For 10 years i was working abroad 4 weeks on 4 weeks off 2009 to 2019, my tax status in Australia is non resident for tax purposes, i have been working in middle east country's which do not impose taxes so the money i get is 100 percent my money in the bank and is 100 % legal by law. How is it that Thailand could tax my income when I'm am not working in Thailand and living there on a spouse visa. So now and for the last 5 years i have been living with my family (thai) in Oman working a 9 to 5 office job tax free, was planning to retire in Thailand but if they start to impose tax on money i bring into Thailand when i retire no way will in be moving back there which many other falangs will choose the same, Thailand as always will shoot themselves in the foot and loose out, they dont think of the big picture that is investing in real estate the falang supporting the in laws etc etc

Always the same Russians bringing in there mafia and try to take over, mind you Thai police would be in on half the goings on but they don't realize they are dealing with absolute nutters , deport the lot of them.

Ze Germans

wasn't called walking street early 90s either, just a normal road

yeah but tourist numbers are more important was entering Thailand at BKK airport one day and seen this guy covered all over in bandages, stunk like high heaven and looked off his head, immigration officer didn't bat and eyelid and stamped him through ha ha

no doubt about that

There are no answers because they don't have a clue what they are doing, absolute stupidity bringing this in how can they have the right to tax someone on their foreign income or savings its absolutely absurd.

i thought any bathroom glass was safety glass like same as car windscreen

i have had a few mates in patts busted no bribes accepted, straight to the lock up until court hearing then 20 k Bhat fine

gone are the days when you could break the rules get drunk and don't worry about it, if i have so much as 1 beer i don't touch anything motorized just not worth the hassle anymore

always wondered what the legal limit was in Thailand but .50 doesn't really explain much, Australia limit is 0.05 Thailand must be a decimal out

nuke ISIS well said

I left Melbourne in 2009 for a O/S expat job in middle East country's, working 4 weeks on 4 weeks off living in Thailand. I been going back to Melbourne every year for a month, apart from Covid years. Before Covid the place was a mess so expensive, i never knew Australia to be like that ever that is cost of living. Now after Covid its even worse, the gov is trying to get back what they lost for the disastrous way they handled Covid, i was embarrassed to what happened to the country and was glad i wasnt living there at the time, i mean they made every state pretty well much a separate country it was just stupidity and wrong I'm surprised the people didn't revolt. I'm 58 now have a few more years in working O/S, when i retire it will be Thailand i will not ever live in Oz again i will not pay the stupid tax the country imposes on its citizens so pretty well Oz can get the F**K

just a few ha ah

people will revolt and will not accept this lockdown/isolation bullocks, i sure as heck wont be following anything the government throws at me

well said 100% correct, i do recall a 1990 trip 1st time in Thailand Patpong - Pattaya for a week thought i was gunna die on the flight back home to Melbourne, went straight to the doctor when arrived in Melbourne he just said i was burnt out completely i was 22 year old haha

Walking street died decades ago, was great in the 90s

ha ha for sure

you just couldn't make this up ha ha

actually looking at it there is something not right with this would like to know the full story

These guys are they mental or something, they are in some sorry state for sure locked up for a while i would say

indeed place was awesome early 90s, i was single working 4 weeks on 4 off 6 MThs in patts every year for years

proper Thais wouldn't go near the place or pay the prices they charge this should read Thais refuse to eat in Patong restaurants

I'm actually glad i don't live in Patts anymore, its just a endless cycle of road works that just go on for years

When will they learn they are in Thailand, just idiots thinking they can get away with doing this sort of thing
