  1. Good afternoon, My daughter went for a trip outside Thailand and came back on 04th February. This resets her 90 days reporting. Can we report as usual online or have we got to go to immigration as this trip did reset the 90 days routine. Thanks
  2. True. I see far less buses pumping black smoke. More often you see converted pick-up trucks with black smoke when they try to impress someone.
  3. Yes but it can now take quite a while to get the notification back. A friend of mine and daughter did their 90 days report 10 days ago and it still is "pending". CW by the way.
  4. Keep horses back. I did not say that I move to Malaysia. And by the way, I have a 5 year visa stamp in my passport. I can leave and come back as it suits me.
  5. Are you looking to become a "Moderator" The visa section is not your domaine. Don't read it, if you do not like it. I do not need to invent something. Do I get paid here? Chase LiverpoolLou or others you constantly fight with. Thanks
  6. Solution. Don't read it and focus on "your", visa forum.
  7. sounds interesting. A friend of mine moved away from Bangkok in 2021. He works for "Makro". Initially, he wanted just to do 2 years there and move back to Thailand and early retire in Huahin where he owned a house. Came back end 2022, sold the house and bought in VN. Not more looking back at TH.
  8. I thought about VN too but very difficult to get a visa. Malaysia on the other hand...
  9. My friend worked at the embassy. Rent was paid through work and the price was 125k Another friend's wife who is a lawyer from the UK, working here for an oil company, their rent is 118k a month, also paid through ex-pat package.
  10. I mentioned the wrong condo in Ekkamai. Not Tree but Rhythm. 68m2 easy around 50-60k in rent. If you only pay 22k, that must be in an old building. Can you name the building you are renting in Ekkamai at 22k? Would be interested.
  11. Really. Have a look at S47. Rent 120k a month. Happy for you. 26k in Ekkamai is a good deal. Have a look at Tree condo in Ekkamai. 60m2 2 bed, 2 bath. 60k
  12. You do not have a clue. 70k in Thong Lor rents you a 60m2 condo. He's not a fool. A very smart business man. Sure, in Isaan, you can build a mansion for 5 Million. Have a look at Nana station, there is a condo, prices up to 140 Million Baht. I had a look at Tree condo in Ekkamai. 68m2, 70k a month.
  13. By now, everyone knows about the proposed taxes on "tax residents". From "aliens" to "tax residents". I am in touch with some friends who are/were considering to move to Thailand. Friend one: He sold his business a few months ago and is planning to move with his wife and 13 year old son to Thailand. All taxes paid and doesn't owe anything. He is in his early 50's. He was very far ahead in his planning to move to BKK beginning of 2024. He was in advanced talks to buy a nice condo in the Thong Lor area. Price: 22,000.000 Baht Furniture: Probably another 2-3 Million Baht Intended to buy a new Mercedes: Price: 4,500.000 Baht School fee for son: Price: Around 750,000Baht a year plus extras Private Health Insurance for the 3: Around 120k a year They love to dine out and travel. So let's say: 28,500.000 baht straight spending on condo, furniture and car. 750k school Average monthly spending including dining out and trips inside Thailand/ First year of staying in Thailand: 100kx12= 1,2 Million Baht. 120k health insurance That's almost 31 Million Baht which would be spend in year one He was applying to get a non-immi O_A The money he would use to buy all things mentioned above come from his savings, accumulated in the years before. No money from the sale of his business would be used. As he reads about the new tax, he is inquiring about the MM2H visa and probably move to Malaysia. He doesn't like to mess around and wants to plan his futures around facts. Another friend , already living in Thailand was considering to buy land around HuaHin (in his wife's name/Thai) and build a house. Quotes around 18-20 Million baht. He also abandoned this idea and continues to rent instead. Next person I know put a deposit down on a brand new BMW electric SUV: Price: Around 6 Million Baht. Delivery early 2024 He got out of the contract, lost his 50k deposit. No new car anymore. The money they think they will extract from farangs and the money they will finally get.. Do not spend the money you do not have or think you will get soon. They were expecting to get 20 Million Chinese in with a 2000Baht visa fee. That's 40 Billion baht they were already planning with and spending it. See: the 10k digital wallet which will cost 350 Billion Baht. I will be very careful with what I buy here. Rent, don't buy. New car? why Travelling inside Thailand and getting taxed on the money I spend here? No, there are beautiful neigbouring countries. Don't P.... off the people who feed you. The Kasakhs, Chinese group tours will not save you.
