Rules and Laws mean nothing here, did you just arrive in-country? -
Cabinet Approves 55 Billion Baht Rice Price Stability Measures

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." -
I guess there will be less condos, houses, cars, and Rolex's bought.....that should help the economy! ;-)
-
Ok, so large savings in US banks, if slowly transferred to a Thai bank.....is that taxable? For that matter, is all money being sent to Thailand considered taxable until its not?
-
So, you would ONLY have 2,750,000 baht per year left to survive on? But yes, I agree tax sucks.
-
Gawd I feel poor, I would be gone and back in the US right now with those numbers, but I agree with the last part of your statement.
-
If I had $4 million per year I wouldn't even be in Thailand, this would be the last place on Earth I would want to live.

4 Ex-Cops Get 5-Year Prison Terms for Extorting Taiwanese Celebrity
lordgrinz replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If this is true, or holds after several appeals, they will have to build more jails to hold all the corrupt RTP. -
Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country, birds of a feather flock together.

So they chose the village idiot?!

Yes, nepotism suits his skill level best, that or shoeshine boy.

They really had to dig to the bottom of the barrel to find the nitwits they have in charge. Typical Thai Government Announcement: "Ready, Aim, Fire!"

Yeah my mistake, oops....2023.

Is organic farming the solution to Thai school lunch crisis?
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I remember when I first moved here in 2016, there were many investigative articles where the supposedly "Organic farm goods" at markets and stores were laced with chemicals. I would take their label of "Organic Farming" with a grain of salt. -

According to the article they are also attracting those from the Alphabet club. -
They are probably safer in Israel right now, than most places on the planet.

Anutin Spearheads National Anti-Mafia Crackdown
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Umm...wasn't he part of the previous Mafia government, and for all practical purposes, part of one now? -
Maybe the best course of action is to bring in (before the end of 2024) enough to live on until mid-2025, by then we will know all the details, and can make a decision on the future. In either case I wouldn't want to be dealing with that first year of these new tax laws, let the guinea pigs take the plunge first.

Opinion: Reforming the police can be an easy win for Srettha
lordgrinz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It will never happen in our lifetimes, and certainly not anytime soon. -
For those of use living off of savings in another country, how exactly would this affect sending that savings over? You can be assured the US government has already taxed me to death, so its not like I am sending untaxed money here.
-
Ready, Fire, Aim!
-
Nope, just keep B400,000 in a bank here, the first few years just an affidavit from my Embassy.
-
I've done 7 years of marriage extensions, and never given them foreign financial information.
-
Yes, just the kind of people you want perusing your sensitive financial information, just before they recycle those tax documents into scrap paper for everyone else to see as well. Who in their right mind would share any foreign financial information with Thai authorities?!
-
I think the bottom line here is that I am not willing to fill out any tax papers or share any sensitive financial information from foreign accounts with any Thai government agency, would rather just leave first. I would bet many others would agree, if that's what they want, so be it.
