You hang around the knocking shops watching the guys? I see.

Google is your freind.

Jeez that's a bit rough Ben. Where do you come from again?

The first picture is of the re-entry permit desk AFTER you have gone up the Zone 2 escalator, gone through security, gone down the escalator and TURNED RIGHT before the passport control lines. The second picture is taken through the glass BEFORE you have gone up the Zone 2 escalator, gone through security, gone down the escalator and TURNED RIGHT and before the passport control lines.

If you're in Thailand for more than 180 days, yes it's taxable at a rate commensurate with how much it is. No real benefit in getting it in your Thai bank account early as far as I can see.

Most toxic? Hardly. The youth are waiting for an app to show them how to rule. It's either that or they're waiting for AI to help them out.

Yes, it's called a coup by stealth. Previous interventions required tanks and got a bit messy to manage with interim 'security' governments and other tosh. This way, they save themselves a lot of time and money and (to them) it 'looks better'.

71000 baht actually Then there are deductions for being above a certain age, being married, children at home, caring for oldies, etc.. Play your cards right and the RD will owe you money!

One can always make it more than a 2-country option. Plenty to see and do in a third country and eliminate falling foul of any 180-day rules anywhere.

So does that mean Thai migrant workers sending money home from overseas are going to be taxed? If they are like my Thai brother-in-law who only comes home from Turkey for about 30-days each year, no.

The definition of a tax payer in Thailand as it CURRENTLY stands. 1.Taxable Person Taxpayers are classified into “resident” and “non-resident”. “Resident” means any person residing in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand. https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html It's the same criteria that the US, UK and many other nations use to determine your income tax liability. It isn't your pension status, age, height or haircut that determines whether you owe the revenue department any money. It's the simple metric of how many days you are physically in the country. The US, UK and others determine this by having access to immigration databases (airport, airline, port and border passport desk data).

If your friend can afford a Lamborghini Huracan GT3, he can afford to pay however much they asked to allow him to breach Thailand's prohibition on importing a used car.

Good point, but isn't that typically a one-off, lump sum levy in that you can only die once? Those who find it too challenging can't be bothered to work out their Thai tax liabilities (if any) should try harder. They'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

Fundamentally correct. Reading between all the lines of legalese on taxation, dual taxation and tax treaties, the message is clear, if you are alive and breathing anywhere on this planet, you must pay tax.

I paid tax while working under the H1 visa scheme in the US. Didn't afford me any "rights" beyond a smaller pay packet.

Ask someone you know and trust? Or just any old Tom, Dick and Bignok?

If they relax the law so that the private individual can import his Suzuki Jimny, it leaves the door open for the bulk importer to bring in hundreds of Suzuki Jimnys which would kill the well-connected 'grey marketeers' monopoly. They need to charge ridiculous prices so they can cover the costs of being allowed to remain 'grey' (if you know what I mean and I think you do).

I am older than my mother-in-law.

Can you even use that terminology any more? I mean 'man'?

You havent seen how he dresses yet On no... don't get 'im started or 'e'll be posting fuzzy pics of some fancy motor from his yoof again.

I guess you would know this.

Try harder? There are loads of them on the market and on lazada.

Advice to the OP. It is perfectly safe to do so, right up until it isn't safe to do so.

Whoop!...there it is. Keeping in mind that at any one time in this enchanted kingdom, 73% of CCTV cameras are either misconfigured, disconnected or broken, 18% aren't being monitored or recorded and the remaining 9% aren't pointing in the right direction anyway, who's being stupid?

No it isn't. It's about great ac warranty service.
