Grab them by the nuts, and tell them to <deleted> Off 🤣😂👍

Spend some time in Laos relax, much nicer people than Thais. Make you feel welcome, you're going to have to pay for your Laos visa on arrival so take advantage of it. I presume your world isn't ending tomorrow 

The generally don't like being told we have bigger toggers 😂🤣😂

My opinion on it is a foreigner will need to make contact with the TRD between 1st Jan and 31st March for paper returns, and the 8th April for online returns. 

 

You will have to declare your income / remittances.  You will then pay your tax bill, if you have one, and then the TRD will issue a document.  You will need this document for your annual extension.

 

I envisage you will also need this document to leave Thailand if one has been here for more than 180 days in the calendar year.  I have posted airports and boarders may have a "tax desk" similar to the "overstay desk" where you will have to pay before you can leave, but this is for another thread. 

 

You don't produce a document from the TRD, no extension granted.  You don't seek an extension because you are leaving Thailand, you may be directed to the tax desk at the airport because immigration will know you are a resident of Thailand for tax purposes.  

 

You may not pay the right amount of tax, but they will make you pay something, and that's all this is about.  Just another earner for them. 

 

I also expect "agents" will offer to deal with the TRD  as well. 

 

Spot on

Many attempts have been made to get a UK Government to pay all UK expatriates the State pension that is rightfully theirs: all have fallen on stoney ground for reasons that are pretty incomprehensible to those of us on the receiving end. We have paid our NI contributions all our working lives (one assumes!) and we make no demands on the NHS. Private and Government Department (eg armed forces) pensions receive the annual increase; only the 'Old Age ' pension does not. It's not right, whatever the reasons to do with inter-country tax arrangements that are glibly trotted out. I feel very sorry for Mrs Fox and there will be many others in many countries around the world in a similar situation. It is no comfort to be told that we knew of (or should have known) about the regulation before we moved; it still doesn't make it right.

You make no demands on the NHS until things go pear shaped. Then scurry home cap in hand, tough sh#t.

Needs to spend his cut on a face transplant ain't he an ugly b#st#rd.

Hi, I was directed here from the Visa section.

 

I am getting married later this year and would like to be able to do a speech in Thai.

 

I have just started learning the thai alphabet, chicken, egg, bottle, buffalo etc.

 

Any good tips about how to learn quickly. Online courses etc. My girlfriend speaks good English so I am lucky there, she will help me.

 

It should take about 3-6 months I think. 
 

 

Forget it these falangs who think they can speak Thai are deluded. They are laughed at behind their backs.

This DTV makes no sense as multiple sources say it costs 10k baht to get the one-time 180 day extension, so 20k baht to stay 1 year and then visa is used. So why have a 5 year validity? That only makes sense if you could get 180 days every time you entered within the 5 year validity period?

 

Compare two options for 180 days

(1) DTV - 10,000 baht

- enter and stay 180 days

- maintain 500k baht in bank

- plus cost of Thai course; or

- apply as remote worker (tax?)

 

(2) Visa exempt method - 7300 baht - no Thai course, work or bank funds needed

- Enter visa exempt 60 days - free

- get 30 day extension - 1900 baht

- do border run - approx 3500 baht

- Enter visa exempt 60 days - free

- get 30 day extension - 1900 baht

 

You forgot onward flight ticket within initial 60 exempt entry, without it you ain't getting on the plane in the first place

I am currently in rural Thailand visiting an old pal of mine called Jimmy.

He took me out to this local pub run by a brit and his Thai wife last night because they had lager on draft and he knows that's what I like.

 

The food was OK and the service was decent.

Then came the pint of lager..

 

As soon as I put the glass to my lips I could smell it.

Like rotten eggs it was,

the smell was too much to bear so I walked up to the bar and told the owner.

I asked him does he clean his pipes regularly or not??

 

the cheeky git kicked me and my friend out claiming we were giving his beer and bar a bad name.

I said go on, taste it yourself then.

he refused and ordered we both leave this second.

Jimmy protested but to no avail.

We paid up and left without leaving a tip.

We were in there all of 25 minutes.

 

Jimmy had been frequenting this dive for years but had never ordered their draft beer before.

I love a good draft so naturally it was the first thing I ordered.

 

seems the brit and his wife can't take any form of constructive criticism.

I hesitate to say that this kind of behavior is normal in nakhon nowhere but I will hazard a guess that it is..

 

bob.

 

What you know about draught beer could probably be printed on the back of a stamp 

Shower of sh*te, and their drink is no better

Only low life cowards kick people when they are down.  

Doesn't that sum up most midget male Thais 

When I attended Bash Street Boys Academy the difference between 95 and 97 was 2. Hope this information helps with your calculations.😂🤣😂

How about the 3rd victim Somsak he'll be getting the ambulance bill and most likely the hospital costs. Never phone the emergency services in Thailand if you have no direct involvement 

5 against 1 that's the odds this cowardliest nation on the planet like.
