Spend less than 180 days a year in Thailand sounds good to me.

Maybe they can partner with China😃

I did, for a couple of years. No problem, once you get used to it. Now wear progressive contacts, which can be purchased in Malaysia

My point is that these types of “transport” are in places where people are poor and do not have a choice. No modern, developed country would allow this type of transportation.

The mere existence of motorbike taxis and tuktuks marks Thailand as a third world country

Ever hear a Thai speak like this? Who writes these pathetic “news” articles?

Have you tried progressive contact lens? They work like multifocus eyeglass lens. Only available in daily use lens in Thailand and very expensive, but Malaysia has 30 day lens at a reasonable cost

Rule # 1 - Do not listen to the people who judge the quality of street food by whether it made them sick Anything fried is done in oil that has been used so many times that it is cancerous fancy eating the lowest quality meat or seafood, neither of which has been properly preserved food prepared by people who have absolutely no idea what food hygiene means eating off plates that have been put into a plastic bowl full of soap suds laying in the gutter and then rinsed in an equally filthy bowl Bonne apetit

Seriously, chocatemaninthaialnd and american international tax advisors? This is a joke, right?

Without going into details, my experience tells me that one of the topics for discussion is the US providing training and technical assistance to the RTD to help them implement their proposed tax changes. The US will readily agree to help the RTD.

I believe that is an extremely conservative description of the severe pm 2.5 air quality issues that infect northern Thailand for 4-5 months a year

I grew up in a small town in western Mass. i have read a few of your posts regarding living in Thailand and can commiserate with you. I am much older than you, so do not want the hassle of doing another (would be #6) international move. Also, we plan to only spend 6 months a year in Thailand. As I am sure you are aware, fishing, hiking, camping are either not to be had or not worth bothering to try. Please do not think that I am meddling in your personal life, but I do not see how you can remain in Thailand and be happy

Please read his post. He defined residency as simply owning property. I defined residency as being based upon days spent in a country

Your statement regarding how countries define residency is totally incorrect. For tax purposes, residency is defined as residing in the country for more than 180 days in a calendar year. This has been stated countless times in this forum and simply Googling “residency for tax purposes” would give you the correct information. Further, what if I have a house in England, but live full time in Thailand? According to you, England would consider me to be a resident? Your prediction regarding property prices in 2025 is worth as much as your false definition of “resident”

Nonsensical posting. OP claims to know everything about pho and then makes the quoted, grossly incorrect statement. South Australia has the best pho outside of Thailand??? What about Vietnam?

Thank you. Have some friends in the Fort Worth area who really like it

Considering getting a place in the US to spend part of the year. Could you please tell me what state this is.

Some words of encouragement. I had sciatica for about four years. Tried muscle relaxants, different sleeping positions, whatever I could think of. Earlier this year, a doctor in Bangkok recommended strengthening the body core. After two weeks of ab crunches, the sciatica went away. I also did yoga bag stretching and strengthening exercises. Sciatica also led to my walking abnormally. Custom made shoe inserts resolved this issue. I am now in the third week of a hiking holiday

Thank you

Could you please tell which DLT office you went to. Thanks

recent California study: In a study published in Science Advances this week, researchers used a new epidemiological model to examine the impacts of wildfire PM2.5 exposure between 2008-2018: a period that includes some of the state’s most destructive and deadly fire seasons. There were at least 52,480 premature deaths attributed to exposure to the inhalable particulate matter from wildfires, and at least $432bn in health expenses associated with the exposure, according to the study. ”there is evidence of an increase in the risk of both cardiovascular- and respiratory-related effects in response to wildfire smoke exposure, particularly as the intensity of wildfire smoke increases.”
