Thank you.. I don't have Facebook but might consider for short time for sale purpose Have a nice day

Alabastair Grey, black leather inside in perfect state.. will PM you tomorrow photos and details. Thank you

Hello As I was only asking for a cardealer/advertising site, I didn't think details were of any interest but.. 2015, EXL 4WD 120.000 Kms.. will be less than 130.000 Kms in June 25. 1st hand. Only 1 driver. All maintenance by Honda ( with bills and maintenance book). Will advertise on AN (in fact had not thought about it), thought of Bahtsold but also would like to enquire with a cardealer. Thank you

Hello Leaving Thailand in June I will have my well maintained 1st hand CRV to sell. Any reco for a serious car buyer/seller around. I live between Pattaya and Sattahip. Apart from bahtsold is there any other site you could recommend ? Thanks a lot and have a good day

Thank you..Problem solved. Had it done this morning.. Have a good evening

Hello Anybody has a reco for an agent with good connections in legalization of docs in Pattaya pls ? Have a good evening

Yes.. but regularly there are leaks again with containers underneath to collect the water

There are leaks from ceiling pipes for years in the parking lot.. instead of changing they repair after 10 days and one week later it leaks one meter away.. O maintenance in this building.. Yes a private company took over the meat department...Same one took over in Foodland, leading to outrageous prices !! Friendship and Makro are far better.. Have a good day

Thank you.. Then nothing has changed since I did it a long time ago.. Apparently they now ask the dog to be deparasitated inside and outside 15 days before trip, then 1 or 2 days before international certificate and apply in airport.. I used also (and will) go one day before as they anyway close at 4pm so much before international flights go.. every time I did (but long time ago) it took me 10 min inside.. I don't remember if anything to pay as anyway if it was, was cheap Have a good day

Hello I must go to building 6 of RTP center next week..I saw the closest parkings would be world center or Siam Paragon.. Are those parkings opened 24 h or since when as I wish to be there early (coming from Chonburi).. otherwise where to park please Thanks a lot

Thai netizens You are shocked by this childish behaviour.. okay fair It's not authorized... okay fair You don't appreciate that... okay fair BUT Don't tell me it's because of safety reasons please, look at your roads, construction sites, boat tours, electric installations, entertainment sites...etc etc .. safety first is just a board you fix on walls

If you check the same rule apply for french residing in Greece..French pensions are taxed in Greece.. Came to know when looking for a country to go if leaving Thailand.. and it was a big surprise

It has been said and repeated numerous times but a lot of people don't understand these rules and think they are OK if they pay in their home country (if double agreement says pensions and/or rents from properties are taxed in the country where this income is generated).. Another issue in France we have on the same document issued yearly by the tax department) the tax amount to pay and underneath what everyone considers as tax but is calculated separately and is a flat tax on incomes (little less than 20%) It is called social contributions... I doubt Thailand will consider it as tax and that would still make a huge difference (in my case this "contribution" is 4 times higher than my tax...) Have a good day

Not possible..Thailand is a family destination and whenever they investigate in Pattaya, they never find any..😜

Yes.. we rent a condo from a foreigner and in our condominium there are numerous thais or foreigners renting out condos even on airbnb.. nobody declares anything.. This however would be quite easy to check for the RD if they cooperate with immigration office (at least for long term contracts) as we have to produce the lease agreement for extension of stay .. which includes all details about owner including passport copy !! Have a good day

Hello For your info there has been meetings with some embassies, representatives of TRD and expats in Bgk.. For sure one with swiss embassy.. one with french embassy.. Already it came out that the Thai version of the Thai french agreement and the french/English version has one very important word which were different (something like should on one side and could on the other one) and the TRD representative said for them the Thai version is the valid one.. The french authorities have required TRD to clarify their position.. no answer till date.. Again, if Thailand proceeds and enforces the law, it will take months/years to reach a settlement with the other country.. And again, now there are numerous countries with no double taxation agreements where residents still are charged especially by a lump sum on imported money or required to pay the difference between their taxes abroad and in their country of residence. Have an excellent day

Thank you.. of course France charges you as an expat on all your incomes..Thai tax will be higher for us and other issue is in March we still don't have the previous year tax which you get only in August.. Have a good day

I 100% agree with you... There is still an issue at least for french... In Thailand if the law goes through, tax filing and payment on 31st march 25..BUT for 24, in France tax filing in may 25 and amount to pay received end of August 25.. so I assume we would have to pay full amount in Thailand, then ask for refund of the amount payed in France to Thai RD and following year, ask the french tax department to deduct from your tax the amount paid in Thailand, no ? I don't see how to pay partially in Thailand if I don't have the amount to pay in France.. Have a good day

Hello This morning was told in Pattaya office to go to Chonburi office (as some said above).. Do I need a residence certificate from immigration or not ? Then one girl told me it would be valid one year, the other girl said it would be valid till my 5 years Thai driving license ends (2027) Can anyone confirm those 2 points please Have a good day

Fortunately they apparently didn't think about it but a very simple way for them would be based on immigration rules where they assume you need 65.000 bahts per month to live here..so 800.000 bahts per year ..they tax on 800.000 bahts whatever they decide 5, 10 or 15%.. quick and simple.. they inform you have to go to RD and pay before 31st of march each year and join your TCC when applying for visa extension.. At least we would spare accountant/tax specialist fees.. They could say this is the minimum to pay.. but you should inform if you enter more and spend more... If people rent a house/condo for 30, 40 or 50.000 per month or more, they would assume you definitely are above 65.000 per month.. Then if you don't inform or lie.. penalties/criminal case for tax evasion/avoidance etc.. When elderly, it is difficult to be 6 months somewhere then fly to another place.. pay for 2 places rents or purchase (unless you wish to live with only one luggage of personal items) Then you have the flights bills, car renting in at least one of both places etc.. This would reach even more expensive than paying taxes ... and people who have a Thai family, kids at school cannot do that Have a good day

And what if they tax anyway and let you go through the court process to have the Thai tax cancelled ?... They can also ask to file a tax return, calculate the Thai tax amount and deduct what you pay abroad.. From my calculation even with all deductions (elderly people bonus etc..,) thai tax is higher than tax I pay abroad.. difference for me would be quite huge.. Have a good day

Also check what they do in Malta (EU country).. No double taxation ..they tax 15% the money you enter into the country...BUT minimum taxation 7500 euros per year !!!!! Have a good day

Hello One thing is that they follow their timing.. They had announced new visas rules between September and November..and here we are.. What I fear is that (and it is simple to put in place) from 2025 onwards they will ask for a tax clearance certificate to proceed with extension of stay.. Also..the law requiring tax clearance certificate to leave the country exists, just not enforced now.. What if from July 2025, when exiting the country under long term visa or extension of stay, they ask for it (30th of June is 6 months period end).. Let's see if some more announcements are made regarding visas.. and if new tax law for 2025 is announced before December.. Personally we go before July 2025.. we won't be staying here when there is no security about what will be going on in coming weeks and months.. In Italy recently EU expats have received a HUGE tax bill, some had to sell condos or houses there to pay the bill.. For french they had payed taxes in France..They taxed them in Italy, with 4 years arrears !! Not taking the risk Bye Thailand Have a good day

Hello Yes I did it in Thailand a few years ago.. it took some time as they send it to Germany.. I didn't do it in a so-called "pet center" specialized in attracting farangs and in a small vet it was much cheaper.. she put the chip at the same time.. @topt Last time I took dogs out of Thailand was 20 years ago (several times). Always did alone, smooth and quick process, they just filled and stamped a form (export licence).. 5 minutes, even did not take the dog temperature.. Looked in internet after posting here and yes apparently need now deparasitation by vet 15 days before + health certificate 2 days before going.. then go to airport office.. If anyone has other info, pls advise.. Thanks everyone Have a good day
