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.

The one thing I hate more than anything else is preparing taxes, I would rather die then even deal with it. I had to tell my US tax preparer "whatever you do, make sure I never have to deal with an IRS agent at my door", basically I told her not to go after every penny by using any questionable schemes. So not happy about being forced to deal with the Thai system now, sick of it all.

II think I'm just going to do my 90 day tomorrow, then again a week before I leave in April.....not worth the risk of something being questioned. It's an easy quick drive and only takes a few minutes to do. Thanks guys!

If I have a 90 day due just before I leave (returning via reentry permit), and say the plane leaves 4 days after it's due, can I just ignore the 90 day and leave, or should I get the 90 done before I exit? Not sure if it's an issue.

I got that exact question from them on my last extension, I had one Million baht in a Thai savings account (Non-O Marriage situation), and the IO wanted to know about what money I was living on, as I am not employed, or technically retired. My wife told the IO officer I was living off savings and investments abroad, eventually they dropped the questioning.
