Yes, they can do all of these things every day and twice on Sundays so they’ve got you over a barrel that way. I think it’s a certainty that tax is coming to Thailand whatever people say or do and it’s probably cause of the cryptos. That’s coming in big this year and they see that, by a widening of the tax base to include more rich foreigners, (many of whom will become crypto millionaires or the latter will come to Thailand with their newfound wealth), they grab a huge amount of cash swirling around. Pretty soon, we’re going to see very happy, smiling immigration officers ant the airport asking about one’s tax status? 🙂

Realy? I thought the article made made some good points. What if this technology comes so quickly that nobody’s very ready for it? As an old crusty myself, I can remember when the Internet came and nobody was really ready for that. It took a long time before people got used to knowing how to send email and things like that. This will be similar but will affect money transfer, not just sending data.

Just wondering how many folks on here read this? It paints a pretty interesting picture of a country gearing up for a huge change in its finances. It asks a great question though. Are people here ready for the major changes coming to Thailand? It seems most are not. https://open.substack.com/pub/tomtuohy/p/thailands-cryptocurrency-boom-a-retirees?r=1uvlf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
