  1. Nothing beats KFC with Thai kids...
  2. Sounds like stealing money from the hard working to buy the votes of the sala wonkers. Some must love socialism.
  3. I'd love to nominate this post, the first of this thread, as post of the year. Thanks to @connda, a visionary.
  4. Nope. "Any money remitted into Thailand after 1 Jan 2024 is under the new rules/regulation." is what you wrote. It is any money earned and remitted to Thailand after Jan 1, 2024 that is under the new rule. There is a huge difference that made the whole thing a lot more civilised.
  5. So he needs two bedrooms and an appointment system for boomboom?
  6. You haven't gotten this right it is: any money earned and remitted after 1 jan 2024 will be taxed. Any money earned before that date is subject to the old rule i.e taxed if remitted the year of earning.
  7. Airlines keep obese guys like that as Pilot. Wonder how many gallons he had to factor in for his own weight when refuelling. But as he keeps talking I tend to agree with him.
  8. That's correct. But since I am a cautious guy, I'll do as if RD 743 wasn't there. I'll reassess by mid 2025. Also, everyone seems to think that under RD 743 income must be seasoned one year, is that correct?
  9. That's plain wrong. I checked for France, where they tax the family unit. With a wife and two kids I'd pay about half of what I would pay here on my full income. Maybe a hint for fixing the Thai natality problem mentioned on another thread. Single people get hammered there but about at the same level as here, in the 30% bracket.
  10. Have you ever heard of that? A teen pregnancy is a life sentence for a Thai girl. The abject idiot boy who did it to her won't give any support whatsoever.
  11. Their view is that when you extend and show untaxed money, part of that money isn't yours, not entirely wrong. The good news is that they seem to understand the DTAs. But it could make the "agents" lives interesting.
  12. Makes sense doesn't, if the 65K weren't taxed at source you'd have to show something around 70k as you'd have to cater for the Thai income tax deduction. Don't underestimate the Thais. But I can see people coming up with 35k taxed and 30 untaxed, or worse..
  13. People who have a good, well paid job with many fringe benefits. Those with a solid pension, who reckon it is better to stay here for their family and let their kids decide where they want to live later. Otherwise I couldn't see any strong motivation, sex I could find anywhere, I have boomboomed on the five continents.
  14. I think that those people who have a home address recorded on their card account might be safe, for a while at least. I'd be screwed because my bank sends me my new card at the address recorded by immigration...
  15. This one is just a sad clown, while Russians are inbred thugs.
  16. I think the west has been wise in never colonising this god forsaken place. They would have expected the coloniser to do all the work while the colonised kept quacking in the shade, under the mango tree.
  17. They are in the process of modifying forms to enable the claim of overseas tax credits, any idea why they do it? All this came up in the various threads that have been started since September, and I don't want to go through sift though thousands of posts, but I think the form modification came up after some "AMCHAM" meeting, US being a good case in point. AFAIC many things came up and made total sense. Now even the large tax advice consultancies raise doubts about RD's capabilities, but I wouldn't play their current weaknesses too much. Everything will be retroactive to Jan 1, 2024 if they catch you in 2030. I could hurt really bad couldn't?
