  1. That's his theory which is blindly believed by a lot of pro Putin westerners but you can find 100 other scholars who think he's full of crap. But I agree everyone should be exposed to his view to understand the debate.
  2. You're wrong. The majority of older people have a nest egg much bigger than that. The typical U.S. social security check is much less than the income requirements here. It's easy to live in Thailand for under 1000 USD a month depending on location and less than that if you buy a condo. I believe that you believe what you wrote, but you're quite simply misinformed.
  3. Russians think differently. You are very naive.
  4. For retirement based on bank account. Income required for that is ZERO baht.
  5. Maybe they want to practice their English (or Russian)?
  6. The government of Poland is concerned. Is that the west?
  7. You're the one playing the maga BS game. Don't involve me with that! It's become clear to me that you're just playing a T game here. BYE!
  8. I wouldn't say anything about most countries. There is no way you know that. You're just talking out of your ___. Anyway I've never been interested in Brazil but I am interested in Mexico. Expats need to do their own research to understand how things will impact them personally. I could be wrong but I think pension income is exempt there. A good example of this is Colombia which is regarded as rather tax unfriendly to expats. I did extensive research of this and found I would be required to file but social security could be fully deducted. Meaning a hassle but zero tax.
  9. Absurd comparison. Expats here get nothing like that. Nothing to do with maga which is of course total idiocy.
  10. Unpopular and dumb. Taxation without representation and any rights of a citizen.
  11. Or Panama, Costa Rica, and many others.
  12. Now that's total BS. I pay for Medicare Part B and get nothing for it. I'm uninsurable so when I do deal with the health system here I'm usually massively overcharged f-rang tax. During Covid f-rangs were explicitly discriminated against for a very long time in getting vaccines. On non immigrant visa here, we have almost no rights. Yes, of course money earned in Thailand should be taxed. But I think being taxed on foreign sourced income as expats is a very unfair.
  13. If Putin is allowed by the obnoxious isolationist US republicans to win in Ukraine, I would bet the house that they won't stop there.
  14. That's meaningless! Do you believe everything written in newspapers? Egads. Do you realize how often major lost in translation stuff gets published here? Countries with double taxation treaties are subject to unique treaties for their country. Exempt? Meaning what? Totally exempt or only exempt for the amount of tax paid if any in the home country? Your link doesn't resolve anything.
  15. So I guess you're saying that would be more efficient than just eating it directly with fat? So you might need less product. But I'm wondering how much more efficient?
  16. After weed is decarbed do you really need to cook it then in butter or oil? Can't you just use the decarbed weed directly mixed with foods that have fat?
  17. Yeah I've heard that with decarbed weed the strain differences are all cooked away. So in that case it would be stupid to use high end weed for that.
  18. Wrong. The treaty gives tax credits on what you paid if anything in the US. Not what you said.
  19. My level considering most of my income.is US social security which is treated advantageously has no US tax so double tax credits do nothing for me in Thailand. I really think they should exclude expat pensions as many countries do. Of course they can do what they want but taxing expat pensions definitely degrades Thailand's desirability as an expat retirement destination. Will I leave because of it? No. Already too heavily invested in staying.
  20. Condos maybe. Medical expenses no way except for insurance.
  21. Interesting. Can you provide more info about these machines? Models, costs, availability in Thailand? Alternatively, I would suggest dry herb vaping at lower temps. 170 to 190 C. Most of the issues with smoke and smell gone. Also you can later use the already vaped herb to eat.
  22. That label and 7 bucks will get you a latte at Starbucks.
