Totally. And I can see the unfinished building every time I catch the single daily flight to Don Muang: a laugh. Haven't checked but I am pretty sure the family and/or friends of the square headed ex-minister is involved. Buriram is the hub of unnecessary public works. The resurface the highway in front of the Army barracks every year. Some general wants to enjoy a silent ride in his Mercedes, paid with his resurfacing commissions.

Nobody mentions Buriram International Airport, that is being rebuilt for one daily Airasia connection to Bangkok?

They could even improve that by giving everyone else a one off 10000 Baht income tax credit valid 10 years. i.e you don't work? Get off your a$$ and we'll help you.

That's nicely pragmatic. Ben is impressed.

Sure, but on certain assignments with high level of stress one sees only the job and the release. And this is Aseannow mate.

Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Chili. Didn't boomboom any locals in Ecuador nor Colombia, boomboomed my first wife there... Tel Aviv girl. The other three countries had some pretty good whores, while the civilians were really hard to get for casual sex. Even though, in those years, I was a real stud with cash to spend. Bloody Catholics.

Real disgrace that loser.

Mighty Python.

Distributing cash without an added value counter part, will always result in [even more] inflation. With no actual gain for the recipients who will see the value of their meager earnings erode. People need skills and work, period.

Two countries, I know of, tried to remove tax benefits for foreign retirees: Portugal and Malaysia, both backpedaled on their initial urge to extort, watering down and or grandfathering their "innovative" schemes.

About time they close "Soi Brothel". Ung Ing do it for your sisters.

True, and more so every year. I wonder if this isn't a deliberate push to make us go. Therefore the OP's headline could be wrong: Thailand doesn't "compete".

Commedia dell'arte

Yep love that one. It was divine in the Thai restaurant, just next to UNHCR, in Geneva.

Don't have one, and feel a lot better since I donated it to Bumrungrad.

Fresh fruit, including one or two bananas a day.

There is more to intelligence than just inventing or engineering. This is what makes men stupid.

That's true too, but I got an LTR visa. When that's lost they'll see the back of me. If I am not too close to death at that stage, in which case the wife will have to pay the tax on her widow's pension.

Wat too short for a prostatitis. Minimum being 30 days.

IMHO everything is clear for 2024: remittance during 2024 of any money earned in 2024 is income. Then the DTA, if any, applies. But you may need to go to court to claim your tax credit. The wise would avoid any to remit any money earned after Dec 31, 2023 for the next couple of years. And get an LTR if they can. Maybe recruit a good tax accountant.

The whole story reeks of racism. Racism shared by the former dismissed leader of the defunct Move Forward syndicate. That alleged kick deserved a 2000 Baht fine.

A car isn't an investment. It his a means of transportation. It helps to think of cost per mile/kilometre only, and then you might see the benefit of an EV, once emotion, nostalgia and SPS (Small Penis Syndrome) have been set aside.

You're an Aussie and call yourself Heineken? Things seem to have changes a lot down under. Was the KhunXXXX taken? Miss the "Cold Gold" though, while sharing my lambs chops with the Emus and Roos at Tidbinbilla.
