    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?

    Not much to say, my Pension is about 100000 USD. Hence the LTR.
  16. Ben Zioner
    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?
  18. Ben Zioner
    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?

    Elderly pensioners audited and caught defrauding the Thai Revenue.
  21. Ben Zioner
    This is not what I am saying here. I suggest that they will audit people in the forthcoming years, this is where someone might get caught with a post jan 1, 2024 indiscretion and then inevitably become subject to a full investigation of the 10 previous years if he hasn't made tax returns. Mike would be investigated only for 5 years since he filed tax returns. In other words: be extremely thorough from now on.
  22. Ben Zioner
    What you must do is to be ready to prove that the money you bring in this year has been earned in 2023 or prior to that. An keep that proof for the forthcoming years in case they audit you. Audit will occur, when and how many we don't know yet. Retirement lump sums will be nightmares...

    Not a fiction at all, I used to transfer my earnings of year -1 on the first business day of the new year. Now I don't know if RD was expecting you not to comply, neither do you, but as I said before I'd tread very carefully with them when dealing with them in the forthcoming years.

    Good, serves the bustards right.

    Let's hope that many share this wisdom.
