What about those with A permanent residency in Thailand... No benefit there?

Seems that those who pay lot of taxes here and based here should have some privelege.

As I pay Taxes here in Thailand (quite a bit!), and I am an American, I do know about the double Taxation, and that I would most likely be liable to pay taxes on anything over the alotted US $80,000 or so...

But I have read something that wasn't clear, about if you are outside of the USA for more than 330 days per year then I might not be liable for any tax to the USA?

Please pass on any easy to understand info on the 330 day rule... The IRS website is a bit difficult to understand.

Appreciated.

I do know of that woman gossiper owner of /name removed/ as well.

She is in fact a monster of negativity in that her jealousy rears it's head in the form of lies, mean statements, and trouble causing for other's relationships.

Steer clear, she's damaged goods. There's anger begind the smile.

Dear Jonkeyes, this is certainly not the funniest moment of moderating, but I had to remove the name again.

I heard a similar story from other sources, so I sooner would call it a warning than gossipping.

Gossipping is mostly larded with lies (see the funny example of Mymechew).

It can damage relationships and cause a lot of annoyance and distress.

Gossip comes close to libel and slander.

The food was good, and the owner seemed like a fair enough fellow, but his missus there must have thought I didn't speak thai, and for the full hour i was there she was on and on with her girlfriend talking rubbish about every other girl in town, the girlfriends of other farangs, etc. A right gossip hag! It was like listening to a Thai soap opera, but bloody worse! And the whole time she was looking up and down MY missus thinking God knows what.

Last time I spend me pension there!

Dear Nigel, 'gossip' in Chiang Rai may well be worth a topic in this forum, but as soon as persons are mentioned or clear indications are given who is meant there is a risc that the discussion in itself comes close to gossip as well.

So is this is something to talk about, then in general terms please.

*****Sounds merely like someone had a bad experience at an establishment and is merely passing on a critique of the atmosphere, thus warning patrons.. JK
