Not yet, but anytime soon, as it makes sense totally. The only thing that's wrong with the OA requirement is that the enforce rubbish Thai based insurances.

Thanks so much. IMHO this is the best post so far on this sad Tax issue. But since my potential exposure would be around 750k I don't think I can proceed without a Thai speaking agent. It would be great if people could recommend here professionals they worked with recently. One other thing I'd love to know is wether I could use the services of a Bangkok based agency, while residing up country.

Most people across the world would think it is wrong, utterly. But the only way they could fix it would be to bring in something as big as Disney. It would attract Indian families, boost domestic demand and offer jobs to young Thai graduates.

Last night they have started arresting some of the guys filming on Sukhumvit between Nana and Cowboy..

Always wonder about how many posters here are Navy seals Doctors.

Rode some 40000 km the first years I settled here, and then, just stopped.. Guess..

50000 Overnight.

He probably meant indeeveedoo.

Probably a polite way or saying Wa@@er

I agree Abdel Ben Couscous we have been a lot more credible. But RIP, as this wasn't the case.

Maybe, but the only dangers I know are the dogs, roosters on steroids and the pervert monks walking around at the wee hours.

Says it all: a show of total idiocy to represent the country.

It is, and isnt, in that is is clear that we need Thai speaking agents. Mazaars are recruiting massively. A useful input here would be recommendations for such agents.

Impressive, here we got something like a thai De Gaulle, the cretin who thought that Israel shouldn't have defended itself.

Interesting, but many here, myself included, could do with a bit of extra stiffness.

Yes, also OP mentioned he was 74, so access to decent medical care should be factored into any decision.

Not so.

Yes, one resorts to prayers when incapable of meditation.

So much for "meditation"..

I'd be devastated if you were my dad.

Let me know if this forum is for Brits only, I might have overlooked this reality.

Very helpful for the vast majority who are not taxed in their country of origin... And even for the Brits it concerns only their measly government pension they pretend one could live off.

Just normal Thai social civilities..

Texas... But is will be an interesting case to follow.
