But you knew that you needed a work permit to work as a diving instructor, didn't you? So you were lucky and you "friend" only got what he deserved.

This OP is a bit like asking for the best ski resort in the Maldives.

taxi mafias, Arabs, whores and landslides.

Open season again. Let's hope COVID comes back.

Still do get it. Same sex marriage just doesn't make sense. Maybe for ladies, but they would still miss out on all the joy of in vivo fertilisation.

Don't get it, we are all allowed to get married. Unlike in Cambodia were older foreigners can't marry local ladies.

What equal rights?

For the purpose of naturalisation they will have to designate a husband and a wife. As they aren't treated equally...

The 70 Baht aren't a big deal. But they are a reflection of the deeply ingrained anti Farang attitude of Thai institutions. They want us to get punished for having a white [pink] skin.

But it has happened.

So far we have seen only Brownian motion around the financing his 10000 a vote bulk purchase.

Yep, but expensive, a Swiss fondue for two costs about 1500 Bahts, can't afford more than a couple a week.

I truly appreciate. Thanks

Just looked at one of the 3 DTAs that may affect me and found that "ARTICLE 18 PRIVATE PENSIONS Income in the nature of pensions or other remuneration for past employment arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in the first-mentioned State." Doesn't say anything IMHO.

Not correct, it has always been "reportable" if remitted to Thailand during the year of earning. Now the question is whether RD will go back 10 years on all these unreported incomes.

You've missed the point entirely. The idea here is that when remitting only 1.5 Million a year and use untaxed savings accumulated in previous years to sustain spending in LOS at 3 Million I will save half a million in income tax a year. And we can repeat this cycle by taking sabbaticals every 5 of 5 years. But as some have mentioned, by that time RD might have worked out how to tax foreign income, instead of remittances. In which case I'll cough up the money every year. But my wife and kids will probably get the money untaxed. Now, the 6% or 8% yield on savings is just urban legend where my money is. Dunno about US, Oz or UK. Always worry when I hear that sort of figures, as they are totally disconnected from economic reality,. Don't want to be a doomsayer though. Just one more thing, I am just a normal worker, but not totally naive either; for the last 33 years I managed to earn about a quarter of a million a year while active, less since I've retired, all totally tax exempt, without breaking any law.

Deniers' BS isn't Science.

How about the pervert boxer?

Yep, my line of thinking is that the future lies in a total North Atlantic isolationism. And if the French want to join the [bloody] W$gs then can build a tunnel under the Mediterranean.

Incurable Gonorrhoea?

Celsius, you got a degree in pessimism.

This is an English forum, you should have said Sugarmountain.

Remarkable thread, the topic is Police corruption and it got diverted into EV bashing. Why are people so paranoid about the demise of ICE?

Could someone give us a link to that story. As I don't see how it could be related to RD fleecing Farangs?
