Thaksin, proposing a golden visa, does not seem to know about the LTR visa... https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thaksin-touts-golden-visa-higher-travel-fees-to-boost-thailand

I would strongly assume your photo is not you. So things are really already quite anonnymised via this, aren't they?

Why is meeting somebody online the same group of people as bar / gogo / massage shop girls?

Could you elaborate, please? Trying to learn from your experience.

Nothing in the contract on a right to inspect the property. And in any event that would only be the landlord, but not together with the prospective purchaser. Water and power is not in my name. All stayed as before.

What bad things could happen? I do not want to move and actually just moved there a month ago. Also, difficult to imagine how anybody would buy the condo without having seen it from the inside and I do not plan to allow people entering the apartment

Is my understanding correct that if the landlord sells a rented condo then this does not impact any rental contract in place? And if there is also no clause in the contract allowing the landlord to terminate early, then is there anything the landlord can do? And finally, it is my understanding that the tenant also does not have to permit viewings if not explicitly laid down in the contract, so the whole thing seems rather difficult without the full support of the tenant? Is there anything nasty which landlords then can do? Thank you. ---------------------------------- Section 569. Transfer of Property does not terminate rental contract A contract of hire of immovable property is not extinguished by the transfer of ownership of the property hired. The transferee is entitled to the rights and is subjected to the duties of the transferor towards the hirer.

Good stuff from Reddit...

It was a plan announced by the previous director of the TRD as far as I remember. So in substance pretty much the same level of authority as now the plan to go back to the tax-free remittance scheme

Given the political trouble, it certainly looks less likely to happen now I would say. But all these announcements have a limited credibility anyway. A year or so ago, there was equally an announcement that full taxation of global income was planned and nothing happened. So my base assumption would be that things stay as they are.

Thank you so much for your tremendously insightful and helpful answer. Just as a follow-on may I ask where the TRC stated that credit cards are ok "as long as you're not making an obvious habit of it with large purchases" or something similar? Thank you!

Is their now already any clarity on if credit card payments with a foreign credit card for purchases in Thailand are remittances? And if yes, then I guess a flight back to Thailand is not a remittance since it is not for something in Thailand? Thank you.

Is this still a strongly recommended place? Just wondering as its reviews on Google are kind of mixed. Thank you!

Anybody having experience with Bumrungrad Dental Center? Bumrungrad is usually an excellent place, but the dental center on Google has largely disastrous ratings. How about Samitivej Dental Center on Sukhumvit? And what are other good places? Do not care so much about prices, but want a high quality check-up and cleaning and honest advice, i.e. where I am not told I need to do all kinds of things not really necessary just because they lead to revenue for the clinic. Thank you.
