A country that doesnt tolerate I'm better than you behavior? Are you serious? Have you ever seen how the priviledged treat their help here?

Usd

Yes. Back home I'd need to be pulling in over a half mil to be taxed at the same rate

Ive actually found the tax rates here to be much higher than what they are at home.

Aren't Russians trying to leave Russia? Why the hell would a non Russian go to visit? What a dunce

Ya because criminals and those prone to criminal activity obey laws

In this day in age I just don't understand why people are fascinated with riding elephants....or messing with wildlife in general...petting tigers, kissing / handling snakes, eating bugs. Just dumb

The answer I was looking for. thanks Mike

Ya I understand this part. But what Im asking is do they increment the tax on your earnings for each bracket? So if you're in the 2-5Million Baht bracket are you paying 30% on the entire amount or just the amount thats over 2 million?

Does anyone know how the tax system works here? In other words, in the uS we have brackets whereby we are taxed incrementally...so 10% on the first 11K 12% on anything between $11,001 – $44,725 22% on anything between $44,726 – $95,375 24%on anything between $95,376 – $182,100 32% on anything between $182,101 – $231,250 And it just gets worse from there. Does anyone know if it's like that here or if its just a flat rate based on the total amount?

Slightly worse. At least the westerners aren't standing up your ass breathing on you and pushing you

So is this basically if you pay income tax in US you dont pay it here? Or vice versa? If you're a tax resident do you pay tax on your global income or the amount of money you have brought into Thailand throughout the year?

OP was me. WISE returned an answer to my query today. Hope this helps clarify

I think I was in shock from skimming and skipped that part. Thanks for clarifying

I mean if thats the case I just panicked for no reason. I submitted a support query anyways to get the official word. So you're saying that if we send USD to a Bank and have it remain and pay out as USD, thats when you think these fees apply? Correct? Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated

IDK...this is where I'm confused. maybe just contact WISE support I guess.

I dont think so. It says if you're sending to any one of those countries. I haven't known anyone here to take a payout in USD. have you?

Ok, I just installed and did a couple of test transfers using Remitly. The fees are about 2USD. Lets see what happens when I transfer larger sums

It looks like the changes dont go into effect until end of Sept. But at any cost, its a ridiculous increase in fees. Not even percentage based...its a flat fee plus percentage

Sorry everyone. I should have thought post the link https://wise.com/help/articles/2946451/sending-usd-to-countries-outside-the-us

Has anyone else caught wind that WISE is increasing their fees to send money from USD to THB (And others) What alternatives to this do we have to WISE? This is literally going to wind up costing hundreds in fees over the span of the year

With you 100% on this one.

An honest mistake that I could live with.

You're ridiculous man. This isn't Japan. There's no Thai person working a service job here thats gonna be insulted by a tip.

A fade is where they blend the length of your hair that results from using different length setting on the clipper blades. There's different variations of it depending on hair length, thickness, style, and how you want it to grow out. I've run across only a few barbers that can do this properly here. My guy can do it with clippers and with Scissors, depending on what I tell hime I want done on top.
