Decent is more like 35k to 40k, some top Dell XPS will fetch up to 100k. 20k is entry level. My guess is that OP wants the sentimental value of his laptop.

Fly, it is going to cost a LOT leas than a taxi.

Traffic, I guess.

All very true..

I looked at France, a country I could move to without visa. As a family of four I'd pay there 13000 Euros, here it would be 20000. Now factor in the costs of relocation, French tuition for the kiddies, etc.. So not worth it.

You've missed the "irrespective of remittance" bit of the headline.

I read this as "wishful thinking" but I can't blame you.

So they do provide info to the tax office?

So he is overstaying? Can't get extensions with 45000.

Little cats for middle aged and elderly tourists.

Did you fornicate last night? Not, it seems, you are incoherent.

Because the USA was at [Cold] war with Russia. Keep asking me easy [for a Boomer] to answer questions.

Why would Putin be worried about NATO?

Oohhh these Brits !..

IMHO he wants to be in Thailand less than 180 days a year.

It reduces my risk of get seriously ill by 70% to 90%. I never had the Influenza while updating my vaccine yearly, I caught it 5 years ago after a few years of negligence. Now it is just another floor to go to in Bumrungrad Building A.

Malaysians speak English and have normal brains, Bahasa Indonesia is easy to pick up. While Thai brains are as convoluted as their gibberish. So if I was a business man I'd avoid Thailand only for that reason, while there are so many other negatives. And let's no forget Vietnam.

Got my 2024 shot in February,,

Totally correct. It should nullify any of the attraction Thailand had left as a retirement destination. Also when was the last time they readjusted the IT brackets for inflation?

TIT

Not much to say, my Pension is about 100000 USD. Hence the LTR.

I must admit that I don't know what amounts of taxes are involved here. But if I lost my LTR exemption I 'd be liable for 800K IT a year, enough to consider taking extended holidays in 2 or 3 neighbouring countries.

So, why not being "non resident" the year you make such conversion?

Let's not be unfair to BOI. The people I have met there will understand "unlimited" just as we do. IMHO they want it spelled out because they have to escalate approval to some xenophobic dinosaurs in other departments, such as Immigration.

Russians count?
