Dealing with that amount of money, you may want to use a RE lawyer.   Simple enough sales contract to write up though.

 

2.3M as down payment toward Chanote #s

Transfer to buyer when paid in full, at or before certain date.

 

If default, down payment returned, minus any compensation agreed upon for taking property off the market.

Thanks for your advice. Cheers !

Hi, I need your advice, please. My Thai wife wants to sell her house with 8 Rai for 4.3 million baht. A Thai buyer has approached us and offered to pay 2.3 million baht upfront without transferring ownership, and the remaining 2 million baht in one year. He claims to have a real estate project. We could sign a contract, do you think this involves any risks? How can we secure the transaction ?

Best regards
 

Hi, I brake the lids of the septic tank. Impossible to find the same model at Homework, Homepro or Thaiwatsadu. I thought to use a thick tile or a rectangle concrete paving slabs for walking in the garden, but i can't find any big enough. I need 55 cm x 55 cm. I also thought about using a steel plate cut, but it's very expensive. Do you have any idea ?

Cheers

thanks for advice !😀

Hi, i own a MG Extender Diesel.  I changed the engine oil about 14 months ago but i drove less than 500 km, should i change it ?

No one has to declare "overseas income" or pay tax on it.

 

One has to declare assessable income that is remitted to Thailand if one is a tax resident of Thailand (in country more than 179 days per year.)  The deadline for filing a tax return is 31 March 2025 for tax year 2024.

 

The penalty is 1.5% surcharge per month on any taxes owed, on top of any fines that may (or may not) be levied.

Thanks for your answer, of course, i meant overseas income that is transferred to Thailand.

Hello, what is the deadline to declare your overseas income and pay the tax for foreigners living in Thailand ? What are the penalties for declaring or paying late please ?

Cheers

Hi, i live all year round in Thailand and I have been married to a Thai woman for over 15 years who has a daughter who is now 19 years old. She studies in university and i help her financially for her expenses. Can someone tell me if there is any allowance or deduction for me the taxpayer ?

Moreover, my wife woks, she has a salary of around 15,000 THB per month. Do i have the right of any allowance or deduction ?

Thank you so much for your answer 🙂

Cheers !

They can be booked here although I don't see the VIP ones, just the "Standard Bus" 34 seater.

I have done exactly the same thing. It's only for thais though. Yes invest for five years and can't touch it before then. Go to the Government Saving Bank (Pink one) Did it myself about 6 months ago, easy.

Interesting, so your child will get at what age ? Do you know the name of this kind of account at the Government Saving Bank ? Cheers.

apart from insurance which the banks will happily sell, 

there's also government bonds that absolutely can't be touched until maturity 

But the maturity is 20 years old, right ? My daughter will need it at 18 years old after high school.

Transport Company booking page is here:

 

https://tcl99web.transport.co.th/Home

 

or if it's just Bangkok you'll see all the lines here:

 

https://www.bmta.co.th/en/bus-lines

 

or if you give more details of precisely what you're after you may get more targetted information.

Ok Bro, i would like to book a VIP bus (24 seats) to travel from Sai Tai Mai (southern bus sation) to krabi. Long time ago i took the 999 company, i had a very good experience. I would like to travel with the same one. I live at Korat so i would like to book online or call them but i can't find any information to do it. Cheers.

Hello, I know that there is an official website to find out about bus lines in Thailand. I can't find the link. Can you give it to me ?

Thanks in advance.

We found Roojai to be the cheapest.  Also provided excellent service when having an oops.  No argument about where the work to be done (MG dealer) or any aspect of it not being covered.  Or parts MG techs recommended.

 

Every ins co. & broker of ins (even our cousin) wanted 20k+, and Roojai was 13.4k, renewal, without any no claim discount, since having an oops previous year.  This for MG ZS EV, which insurance for EVs are silly priced, now.

 

The first year of coverage on the BEV, that we paid, was the same as the last year of coverage we paid on the same car, 2 yrs prior, but the ICE version (both MG ZSs).   So much for any pricing logic.

Thanks to share your experience, i have a MG too (Extender). Cheers.

Can you prove the money was savings from before 1-Jan-2024?  (perhaps unlikely given this was for a loan you wish to pay back - but I don't know your financial details - and I do not want to make any assumptions)

 

My understanding (and others can correct me if I am wrong) is if you had the money needed to payback the loan, in a foreign account prior to 1-Jan-2024 (which the RD issued in Nov-2023), then per Paw.162 you can bring it into Thailand and it will not be taxable and possibly < unsure > not assessable.  Again - others can correct me if wrong. 

 

If it is not assessable then it need not be declared.

Thanks for your reply, absolutely that's money was saving before in my belgium bank account. What should i do to prove it ? Is it enough to provide a statement from my bank ? In that case, should i declare the 250.000 THB on march 2025. Cheers.

If you are not tax resident in Thailand (180 days per tax year or more) you do not have to file a tax return and the money is not assessable to Thai tax. If you are tax resident here, you could perhaps gift the money to your wife.

Thanks, i'm a tax resident here. If i understand, you aren't sure if it could be a gift.

Hello, my wife took out a loan 3 years ago to buy
a car. Today, I would like to close the loan by
repaying the remaining amount to be paid 
(250,000 baht). The problem is that I have
to transfer this amount from my account in Belgium.
Will I have to declare this amount in March 2025 ? 

Thanks for your reply 🙂

As far as I know Thailand does not recognize trusts but there is a provision called "controller of property" in our wills my wife have used to protect what we would leave to our grand daughter.  As we do not trust her parents or our in-laws with a chunk of money we named a cousin who successfully got his child through university and launched 

Thanks to share your experience

Hello, I would like to open a remunerated saving bank account for my 13-year-old daughter (she is Thai), which will be used only to finance her studies. So i would prefer, if it's possible, a blocked account for minimum 5 years that does not allow anyone to withdraw money. Does this exist in Thailand ? Is there any other solution ?

Thanks for your advices !

Hi, i feed some dogs in a soi, but they still very skinny. They look sicks. Could you advise me a good and pretty cheap deworm and antiparasitic drug ?

Cheers
