There is a controversial note in your question. I have also worked online in Thailand but the money I was paid was from the company based abroad. I just stayed in Thailand for purely personal reasons because the company I was working for was outside of Asia. For tax purposes I was stealing money from my Country which was outside of Asia and the money I had to pay tax was paid to Nana......In your case if you are going to work for company which is in Thailand then you have to pay taxes in Thailand but if you are going to work for company outside of Thailand then you are not obliged to pay taxes in Thailand. Anyway hold your mouth shut and do not talk about it even in your wife I fear good friends and not enemies....

What the French did to a Thai citizen reaches the limits of racism. They visited beautiful Asian Kingdom οfThailand and refused to pay the Thai working lady ιn addition they were rude to Thai police officers. Ask them how much it costs in France to sit in a store........The French colonialists should learn that Thai citizens are not second-class citizens but we are all equal infront of the law and in our world. As a European Greek citizen I am deeply sorry for their unacceptable behaviour!

Thailand real estate danger zones: Under 3 million baht homes struggle to sell The Real Estate Information Centre (REIC) identified ten dangerous zones for property development in Thailand, where houses and condominiums priced below 3 million baht are not selling. These areas require a selling period of between 30-78 months According to a survey of condominiums and housing estates priced under 3 million baht in Bangkok and its vicinity in the third quarter of 2023, the sales volume was lower than in 2022 for every quarter. The third quarter saw a decrease of 7.4%, with condominium sales dropping by 4.5%. The number of unsold units increased every quarter, ending the third quarter at 49,433 units, a 27.5% increase. The value of these properties totalled 110,266 million baht, a rise of 31.5%. Other areas include Phra Khanong, Bang Na, Suan Luang, and Prawet with 5,929 unsold units, expected to take about 32 months to sell. Thonburi, Khlong San, Bangkok Noi, Bangkok Yai, and Bang Phlat with 5,044 unsold units, are expected to take about 48 months to sell. Samut Prakan City, Phra Pradaeng, and Phra Samut Chedi with 4,175 unsold units, are expected to take about 31 months to sell, and Lam Luk Ka and Thanyaburi with 3,653 unsold units, expected to take about 44 months to sell. On average, 3,000 housing estate units were launched per quarter in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 11.4% in new unit sales. This was the first quarter to witness this trend. The remaining unsold units totalled 44,174, valued at 113,180 million baht. Out of these, 95% are townhouses. There are no townhouses priced below 1 million baht in the market anymore, with most priced between 2-3 million baht.

Thailand interest rates are very cheap comparing to Europe which is €30/month (1.160 Thai Baht)and in Greece /Athens I pay €20/month (773Thai Baht) unlimited data etc.

Attention all imports from Asia to the EU are taxed at customs.When a product from Thailand has a cost of €10 then you impose VAT duty and tax per product category. The only exception to import taxes is Vit-nam where the EU has signed a Trade Agreement. Since it refers to vitamins, look at their characteristics before ordering them, for example Omega vitamins should have more DHA than DEA. To be of good quality, Omega vitamins should have more mg of DHA. Also for those who have bone mass problems look for the calcium you order to have calcium phosphate otherwise it will not be absorbed 80% by the human body. Viettnam removed 65% of its duties on EU goods the day the agreement entered into force. It will gradually remove the remainder by 2030. The EU will progressively remove its duties on imports from Vietnam by 2027. In fact Vietnam free import in European States.

Although I live in Greece / Athens where the air is very-very clean but I clean my air conditioning in my house every two months First you take the air conditioner's plug out of the socket. Second, if you want to follow the instructions in the video. Third I clean filters in the bathroom with soap and water while the indoor air conditioning unit I go and buy either a/c cleaner or aluminum exterior cleaner for tough dirt. Other friends buy foam spray even for kitchen stove it does a fine job and then spray water to clean it. I apologize to the forum moderators for the youtube post but it is about preventive cleaning.

I don't understand the change by Thai seventh coallition Government implementing an authoritarian visa control regime system that essentially makes legal tourists uncomfortable. Since I have a Bank Card and an account in my name which covers all my expenses while in Thailand then whats the problem? I have typed my return ticket to show at immigration and after 10 meters in exit of Suvarnabhumi airport I cancel it.The problem in mine not immigration offices bureaucracy.

In my country there is a saying: The madman saw the drunkard and was afraid

Are doctors paid by electronic payments or are they paid in cash tax-free? Dilemma?

I cant figure it out your statement that children want to become officers in the Army-Navy and the Air Force pilots is omitted. When I was child I always wanted to become pilot in Air Force and finally I become electronic engeneer in computer system working at Flight Simulators of Mirage-F1cg -Mirage-2000eg and Mirage-2000-5 glass cockpit aircrafts.(five screens in cockpit /340 degree projection view).Next period I am going to "fly" and see F/S Rafale aircraft as well as computer interface peripheral projection units in an air base where my friend is an experienced high skilled combat pilot. Thai children have to visit Chiang Mai air base to see Gripen pilots as well as to see how they are dressed -oxygen mask helmet and briefing/debriefing before/after mission -take off -landing. In my country every month and almost evey week we have children visitors as well as from Universities where pilots inform them about the mission of airbase as well as aircaft capabilities and finally perform virtual flight at Flight Simulator with visual approach -weather condition clear -cloudy-rain -day -night parameters. I am not addressing you now but but I am appealing to Thai Ministry of Defense to invite educational institutions to visit military bases so that young children love the military land/air personnel.

Although I am not a lawyer but you will have to go to a notary to submit a statement with witnesses that you wish to be cremated in Thailand ......when you die and then submit the relevant documents to your Embassy. I am Orthodox Christian and cremation is forbidden according to the Christian Orthodox faith and the same applies to the Jewish, Muslim community.

In U.S.A, a Law was passed where motorcycles and bicycles are prohibited from overtaking cars on the road in cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants. If you overtake a car or change lanes, know you are uninsured.....

Climate tax in air-transfers................... Increase in ticket tax affects passengers twice The aviation tax is scheduled to increase from May 2024. Airlines are allowed to pass the tax on to passengers. Consumers should use the time until then. Anyone who is currently planning their vacation for the current year should book their flights as soon as possible. In a few weeks tickets will probably be more expensive. The increase in the so-called aviation tax is one of the measures with which the federal government wants to plug the budget hole that opened up a few weeks ago after the Federal Constitutional Court's ruling. The new tax should actually have been in effect since the beginning of the year.

If they were drunk, they can't be charged because they were under influence of alcohol. But they are obliged to pay for any damage they did to clubs or pubs.The "substances" legislation should be reformed and offenders who disrupt the normal functioning of society should be punished. Fortunately Thailand isnt American or European "bar"......Thai people are calm and quiet character΄s people!

Check out if the accounts are cover with Deposit Insurance Scheme. In Europe not every bank account fixed or variable interest rates covered by Deposit Insurance Scheme because they invest your money in mutual founds or CDS (Credit Default Swap) or in ETF.In Thailand Deposit Insurance Scheme cover €26,000 -€27,000......I sincerely wish you a comfortable and nice stay in Thailand!

After the "sinful" period of covid the only "doctor" I trust is myself. If I feel well I don't need anyone to suggest a "cure" ......usually of controversial injections .......I don't play anyone's "games" with my health. When I will visit Thailand again I will take a PCR check in Europe and I don't want any health insurance because the best health insurance is myself who hasn't been to the dirty hospitals for over 30 years and I haven't taken any medicine even for a headache.

I come from Greece -Athens but in Bulgaria Sofia I realized from the car drivers when they saw the pedestrian's foot stepping even one foot on the road they stopped the car to a standstill. I did the check myself and found out that as soon as I moved off the pavement to step on the road, all the cars came to a standstill. Congratulation to Bulgarian drivers! I am sure the key measures is Bangkok Governor or Mayor to implement 30 km/hour for all the car in Bangkok in order to avoid drivers fatal injuries or......pedistrians.......This measure imply in Amsterdam from 8-12-2023 On Friday 8 December, the speed limit on most roads in Amsterdam will be lowered to a maximum of 30 kilometres per hour (km/h). 80% of the roads in Amsterdam will have a speed limit of 30km/h. The maximum speed will be clearly indicated on each street with the familiar traffic signs. For more information about where the new speed limit applies, check amsterdam.nl/30km (page in Dutch) or look at the map.

Thailand tax law The end of the cheap life? Thailand unsettles German emigrants So far, German retirees in Thailand have not only been able to escape the German winter, but also the tax authorities. But now a change in the law is causing unrest in the tax haven. Flawless sandy beaches, tropical temperatures, excellent food: retirees who want to emigrate will find many good reasons for moving to Thailand - including financial ones. The Southeast Asian holiday destination has not only attracted foreigners with its comparatively low cost of living, but has also presented itself as a tax haven : those who did it cleverly could escape the cold German winters under the Thai palm trees as well as escape the tax authorities. But that should be over from January 1st: Then Thailand wants to close a tax loophole that has allowed pensioners and wealthy private individuals residing in Thailand to live a largely tax-free life for decades.

Thailand is officially reported to have an under-birth rate. It is therefore logical that the local population with one parent coming from abroad is increasing. In Greece Government gives all women who give birth a €3,000 (TB114,368) allowance and three times in a year €250 (ΤΒ9,530) and....every year. Τherefore current Thai Government can implement it by Royal Decree. Whats the problem? Therefore Greece is the paradise of illegal immigrants because they arrive in Greece and declare to the police for the issuance of identity cards any country they wish.....Greek Police under the Immigration Act are obliged to accept it because they will be prosecuted for racism and descrimination.......

Germany each illegal immigrant costs €450,000 due to their low labour skills (When current Chancelor Mr Scholz was Finance Minister in Mr Merkel coallition government) Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) expects the cost of refugee policy alone for the federal government to amount to around €70 billion by 2022. This follows from a document of the Federal Ministry of Finance on medium-term economic planning.

British Prime Minister Mr Sunak will not allow a foreign court to block the Rwanda Act To deport "illegal" migrants, the Government wants the British Parliament to unilaterally declare Rwanda a "safe third country". This would deprive the British Courts of the opportunity to exempt asylum seekers from deportation citing the precarious human rights situation in Rwanda. However, it would still be possible for the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg to join and side with the British . The British government wants to immediately deport to Rwanda asylum seekers who enter the country illegally, irrespective of their origin where they seek asylum there, but they will not be allowed to return to Britain.

Bangkok is the core and the heart of Thai society.Therefore those who blame Bangkok and Bangkokians indirectly blame Thai society they live in......As a tourist and as an employee of a western company for years what I have noticed is that those who don't like living in Bangkok are from the countryside......You don't like Bangkok because you pay rent and your own house is in the village........Ιn fact I adore Bangkok and genuine Bangkokians because they have their own culture in their daily life.It is a situation we also find in Western capitals where people from the countryside come to the Capital of each State for work and for the "easy life"

The western embassies of the USA and the European Union are responsible for this chaotic situation of their citizens.They can attach contracts for the tourists coming from America and Europe in order to be treated in the emergency room.
