That's interesting. Is what you say fact or just what you think?

I once knew a guy who was fiddling sickness benefit while staying long term in Thailand. He told me that when they pulled him in for questioning they knew exactly where he'd been. The bit that stuck out for me was they said that on such-and-such a day you were stamped in and out of Cambodia. He had obviously done a border run that day and they knew. Now, I'm not saying they trace all of us but I reckon if they want and have reason to then they can find out where you've been

Of course you know all about their financial position because you read it in the paper. I concede you probably know more than most about anal but each to their own eh

In where are you referring to? And what you doubt is of no relevance and should be taken with a large pinch of salt .Anybody who reads your <deleted>e knows that

No farang is going to get taxed on money from overseas. Sometimes I think certain people are trying to force the issue when there is no issue there

When it's one of their own.....

I would imagine that they will have been given a rough time since the arrest and it might be difficult to bribe their way out of it. I would like to hear their side of the story and what provoked them to act in that way

They're all at it. Bent as hell the lot of them

I am about to buy another and have sent some additional money over. The money however is not earned income for any period which may be of concern to Thais and so no tax return or explanation will be volunteered or given.

If we're only discussing sending USD then I don't know which is cheaper SWIFT or Wise but from what you and some others say it looks like using SWIFT is and I'm sure that information will be useful to some people. From my very recent experience sending 19000 GBP to Thailand and the exchange rate offered to me using SWIFT then using Wise would have been cheaper. I will not use SWIFT again for any inward remittance to Thailand

I bet secretly you whish you were born a Brit and this rambling nonsense is all down to your deep rooted jealousy of us.

Wrong. I recently transfered about 900000 using SWIFT and despite a phone call from the bank to semi negotiate an acceptable exchange rate, it was still almost half a Baht less than I would have got using Wise. Pounds Sterling was the currency. I only used SWIFT because I wanted an FET to go towards a condo purchase. In hindsight I would have been better off paying for the additional FET document locally. Wise is the way to go

It's not just the one-way system, it's an absolute nightmare getting anywhere these days. There are roadworks all-over the place and people would rather do without the pain of driving.

Not something I'd want to see anywhere.

With regard to the money used to purchase your foreign quota condo and where it came from, facilitators are available to provide the necessary paperwork to submit to the land office should for whatever reason you can't provide the paperwork yourself. For a fee of course.
