Which is what I think anyone with knowledge of this change has done already, they would've brought in enough money to make it through this first year of the change without anymore transfers needed, or planned. Then by early next year, I am sure RD and Immigration will have enough information out that we can all make a decision on our next move. That is what I did, though I wish I brought in just a little bit more than I did. I'm still surprised they aren't just taxing us on all our worldwide income, and instead are focusing on remittance only, which makes things way more difficult.

He seems to have the LOS wrapped around his finger right now, so he should just make a declaration, and it will be done. <sarcasm>Emperor Xi is nothing compared to Thaksin the Great.</sarcasm>

Poor people from South America are paying thousands of dollars to get to our Southern border, so no, it's reality.

That's delusional at best, its nothing more than a pipe dream that has no chance in Hell of ever happening.

Never going to happen in the US, that's all we need, every Thai with a 350 baht daily wage would fly to the US and never return.

There, fixed it for you.

Believe me, I know, I remember an article in the BP when I came here in 2016, I believe it said 90% of tested Organic produce were covered in chemicals (some of which were illegal chemicals).

I find the healthy offering here to be hard to find, that's one of the biggest things I miss from back home in the states, at least for those of us who choose to eat healthy. Plus Thai's need to stop eating so much white rice, belly pork, and greasy fried foods dripping with oil.

The perpetrator should be careful, I don't think Thai's appreciate that some people can go from 0-100 on the violence scale in the blink of an eye.

Perfect analogy!

Oh yes, we all knew your were talking about a government from almost 20 years ago....smh Enough seats? You mean they didn't get 250 votes from the handpicked Junta Senate? Baffling.

Actually, the problem would only show up after people fly back into Thailand and try to use their reentry permit.

What elected government? The government was put in place by an unelected group of senators. The people voted for MFP, and your savior Thaksin's party sabotaged the MFP by joining the Junta in a hostile takeover, backstabbing the peoples elected choice.

They'll definitely be dragged while kicking and screaming.

Sounds nice, some cool weather for a change, everyone should go out and enjoy the fresh air......hmmm

Deja Vu, it happens a lot around here.

Keep licking those boots.

I wish her luck, but the majority of dinosaurs (MP's) in parliament are only worried about filling their pockets with cash, nothing more.

Nothing, but with Jan 1st here, we are required to deal with it, if we like it or not. I don't want to break the rules, which is why I am not happy about having to deal with it. For now I understand it to mean money remitted, so I won't remit anything this year, this way I can see what others deal with when they file their taxes in 2025 for the year 2024.

Anyone want to bet on how many will voluntarily sign up for taxes? I'm going with about 5%

He is a pig, no different then Prawit/Prayut/Thamanat, just another Elite (Junta Sympathizer) hiding in a suit pretending to be the savior of Thailand while wallowing at the corruption trough. He should be lingering in a jail cell like any other common prisoner, then maybe he would truly understand the average Thai persons life. He and his charade prison sentence are just symbols of everything that is wrong in Thailand. I wouldn't spit on him or his cohorts if they were on fire, let alone give him a nice pampered suite in a 5 star RTP hospital.

I think a simple Australian Shiraz cost me 900 baht a few weeks ago. Haven't found any higher end Port wines yet, would like to find one that isn't ridiculously priced though.

Have all of the MP's stand out on the lawn, it will look like Jurassic Park.

The only thing he will foster is a civil war, they should have never let him come back, especially with this joke of justice portrayal. His so called imprisonment is just a reminder of how the Elite are immune from true justice, while poor peasants linger in a real jail environment for much pettier offenses.

So, if we have a Visa Extension (Non-O marriage), we are to avoid the automated channel gates if we are using a reentry permit? I'll be leaving for the US in April and returning in May, so definitely interested in what the consensus is on this. I've only left once in the last 7 years, and I can't remember the procedure heading out, but will make sure I take it slowly as I go through the exit process.
