So you take the girl out of the bar. Now what?
It is only common with a small male demographic that are looking for that type of girl. You get what you pay for.

Need Accountant that can do USA, Canada and Thai Income Tax.
Of course they do if you give them reasons to check. I go back every few years without issues including Dr visits that are covered because I maintain a Canadian address including a current drivers license. Could they catch this if they want to? Yes but I file yearly taxes on income earned from Canadian sources so no red flags appear. Maybe one day they will.

Why on earth would you ever declare non residency in your home country? I get that you feel you’ll never return for all the right reasons, but you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Just use a friend/relative’s address, keep a bank account, and file taxes yearly. That way you don’t reduce any possible government pensions and you just might need your home country for something in the future.

In Thailand: What are your plans when Nuclear War happens?
If it happens, I hope to be at ground zero as the world as we know it will slowly cease to exist. It will set off a chain of nukes that will affect every place on earth. I’d prefer not to suffer.

Leaving an inheritance to my Thai GIRLFRIEND.
I am a Canadian living with my Thai girlfriend here in Thailand. We are not married. I bank with Bangkok Bank and had no problem adding her as joint account holder with our rental contract showing both our names. I also have 2 wills. One in Canada that covers my Canadian assets and people there, and one here in Thailand that covers my assets and people here. This is 💯 % legal and was recommended by both lawyers in each Country.

Thailand's Grim Motorcycle Death Toll Sparks Helmet Campaign
The locals? Look at all the farangs that don’t wear them! If you were to ask them why they don’t, their answer is if the Thais don’t wear them, then I don’t have to. Stupidity at its finest.

- Things that annoy you in Thailand
Perfectly stated. Almost every comment in this post has been negative towards either the Thai people or Thailand as a country. If you are that miserable here, please leave and go back to your idealic country you came from. it is a privilege that Thailand has accepted me to live here.- Help With Speed Camera Fine
Apparently the camera fines are no longer legally binding due to a recent court ruling. I only heard this from someone and have not verified it- MAGA Man's Concepts of a Deal and the Art of Bankruptcy
Just shows how simple those Americans are and the whole world is laughing at them.- America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
The US has been the laughingstock of the world for sometime now. It’s only in the last decade that the world is really seeing Americans for what they really are. Uneducated, egotistical, simple humans. The sad part is they still think they are the center of the universe. It will take years, if not decades to dig themselves out of the mess they have brought on themselves. I feel sorry for the intelligent, common sense citizens that have been caught up in the circus they belong to.- The most incompetant US admin in history has been elected
MAGA Make America go away-please- To become an expat
The OP sounds like the typical miserable farang drunk womanizer, that thinks a geographic change will improve his life. The problem with that is he’s there wherever he goes. Sad life to live.- Hawaiian shirts
Fat, old, bald guys think they’re in fashion along with their cargo shorts and crocs.- Why on earth would you even consider paying tax in Thailand?
I pay taxes to pay for the ferry from Hua Hin to Pattaya.- My Harley Disaster...
Another fat old bald farang on a scooter going 10k/hr gawking at the ladyboys whining because he rear ended someone instead of him getting rear ended. Maybe tonight you’ll get it your way.- Historic Drop in Illegal Border Crossings Following Trump’s Crackdown
So very true. It is the armpit of the world and is only getting worse.- Historic Drop in Illegal Border Crossings Following Trump’s Crackdown
So this means DOGE can fire many of the border agents since they are no longer needed? It would be misrepresentation of funds if continued.- Trump got caught
Trump has backed off raising tariffs with Canada and Mexico after Canada retaliated with same. Somebody finally told him he hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. Of course he’ll claim it’s a win because he’s such a shrewd businessman. Just waiting for the US to go bankrupt now.- FAA’s Diversity Policies Under Fire After Deadly Air Collision
And not to mention that Trump fired the FAA Director and Assistant Director leaving the dept empty of leadership. And he blames DEI practices. What a dump America has become.- The Radical ‘Zizian’ Cult and the Murder of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent
It’s all because of DEI policies I’m sure. What a sad country.- Thailand’s Destination Visa loophole that could cost you
No I don’t but option 2 is doing it online. - Things that annoy you in Thailand
