Should be pretty easy to compare a sample of the note handwriting with an earlier sample somewhere.

Bubble. If you went into debt opening cannabis businesses you may regret it.

It has nothing to do with not knowing what you want. It’s done incorrectly.

He wraps wires in electrical tape without using a twist connector?

Never let a tile lady who filled your drain with cement back into the home.

These days you need references, work history and a credit check. It’s not that easy to rent a place in other countries!

Never hire a man without tools.

Hello, Do you have 3 legs? Do you walk on all 3, or just two? Would you be interested in walking on all 3 of your legs?

Some people just want to post to tell others what they are doing and need a reason to post. Any guy could just go into a pharmacy and ask. The post is about him being in Pattaya and excited about the evening.

No, he is renting!

I lived in one place where the electrical outlets were all upside down. It seems like Thais do a lot of stuff “backwards”. On the clothing rack when they hang the shirts, the hanger is always reversed the wrong way. It should be hanger closed hook side towards you as you browse. That way when you remove or the article to the rack it goes over the bar in and out easy, rather then under getting snagged on other clothing. Thais don’t get it, it’s always the wrong way. Sometimes I think they want it to be difficult or wrong for some reason. Maybe to come back to fix it later, or more work for another guy later on??

You could always take a mini van back and forth every month ????

I’m not sure if I have the correct post. I don’t care about buying condo’s. But either way they know if I’m taking money out of the atm if I have a certificate of residence.

A lease on record for a certificate of residence? That has the rent in it right there. Did you pay tax on it?

It would likely be our responsibility to self report income and file taxes annually. If they were not filed and paid it could be picked up on immigration records and trigger an audit.

Not if you didn’t have too ????

Imagine having to deal with tax authorities in Thailand who don't know what they are doing. We thought immigration was a hassle but have not seen anything yet.

They would probably just nix the O-A visa eventually, solving that problem. I already heard a couple rumors about it being a black sheep of the visa options.

I have been living here for years with no Thai bank account. I can just use the atm, but only because I have the o-a visa. I guess atm withdrawals are exempt from taxation for now. No way to track that 180 days that I know of, but they could tax it coming out of the atm for everybody including tourists. They do ask for passport each time I make a deposit into someone else’s account currently when I go into the branch, using money I just got out of their atm. I wonder if they will try to tax that. If I deposited using the deposit atm does it ask for passport? Not sure on that one. I guess eventually everything will be validated with some sort of digital id and central bank digital currency as the surveillance state grows.

Neither would I. They change things so often in Thailand I don’t think a citizenship would be on par with a USA citizenship even if it were offered. If they changed it down the road what then, become stateless without medical or social security? No thanks ????.

They use juristic people and condo staff as spies. They end up reporting who you go in and out with, your behavior and such. Since they watch all day and night it’s not hard to do.

There are not a lot of options for places with long term visas using just the savings method without documenting income. That’s pretty much why I ended up in Thailand. If income fluctuates, even if I have plenty in savings, it becomes troublesome, or just looks so weird on paper that it may not qualify. The other options I saw (if I did not want to keep moving around every several months) were Cambodia, Mexico, Philippines or moving out into cheaper areas in the USA. Many countries open up if you’re very wealthy with golden visas, but I’m not at that level.

Me too. Will let you know when I hit the lottery.

It’s from living in a poorer country. People bunched together, rushed, scratching for income, no wherewithal or care about spreading disease. (They do the paper masks well, but it’s symbolic, hardly any have real filters. Too expensive probably).
