Indeed, this guy went from a bit part actor to a major script writing machine including big hits like Sicario and it's sequel.

Have you watched 'Deadwood' and 'The Good Lord Bird'. This one reminded me of Deadwood in a way. One thing about this American Primeval is that it is largely based on real events with fictional details added of course to pad it out. Things sure were brutal back then!

There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. The BodyShop UK, the parent company that operates the international franchises went into administration back in February 2024. This entire company is in big trouble.

Oh you missed soething alright, you're mixing up twp different deaths. What I iwant to know is - whas a Thai national responsible for this 'tragic accident' or whatever it was and why they are not being made to pay? Always the foreigner being made to pay large amounts of money - and this guy has already been diagnosed as having suffered a 'fatal' incident - so he's dead but on machines.

See you again soon huh, so they're closing down but have plans to return. Foreign companies require Thai partners, I wonder who their Thai partner company is/was and if it operates as a franchise on a global level.

Ah yes, there's a lot of this kind of thing going around lately. Know of a couple of cases myself. People dropping dead, brain bleeds, clots in the lungs, etc, etc. All young. The old, no idea but it's noticeable in the young.

In truth I'm earning more than $80k a year anyway but it's not from a large company, in fact it's way more than $80k - more like $140-150k and that's on top of the lump sum that just sits there. I could earn more, perhaps a lot more by investing in various schemes but am not keen on investing in Thailand, how would that hit my ROI and I don't need a useless condo. However there are no companies involved in my finances, just personal finance and payments into various accounts around the world. They're all outside Thailand, I got a lump of cash which contributes to this 'earnings' via returns (non crypto at the moment) but it's not my only source of income. Right now I'm on the 20 year Elite visa extension membership since I upgraded last year so that's money spent and gone, and forgotten about - consider it a negligible cost at the time. I get real value from that for the flexible visa and am currently spending less than 180 days per year in Thailand. Getting an LTR could make things little easier - less travel each year but do I need it - I don't know - for now I'm good - but it's always worth having options so I will keep my eye on this as we move forward. Thanks for the input @oldcpu - offshore incorporation is something I've been looking into, I know it can be done but the whole offshore scene has changed a huge amount over the last decade or so, it's not what it was before.....

Nah, the reason it's a 'maybe' depends on the number of days you spend in Thailand in the year you earned the money. If it's less than 179 days then I believe you will pay zero tax on that money when it's remitted - forever. Even if you move it into Thailand in a subsequent year when you are a resident. Consider it the same as savings from 2023 or before as that's how it's treated. There were some lingering questions about whether it also needs to be remitted during a non resident year - but I believe that's been cleared up - maybe - but that's a slightly different conversation. Selling the assets and remitting during the same non resident year is the cleanest, quickest and easiest way though. So if you act on the safe side and sell some house you own in another country, your primary residence which often attracts 0% tax in many countries. The main thing is you paid less or no tax than would be due in Thailand. Do this in say March 2025, send all the money you need to Thailand for whatever condo you want to purchase but make sure you do not spend more than 179 days in Thailand during the year you send it then you're not paying any tax on it, and you have the receipts.

Never will either.

Remaining non resident is the best option all around if you're making decent money until the dust settles, I am continuing to take this approach for the next few years.

Maybe

Lets say I sold a couple of million USD worth of Crypto last year, is this not real money?

This says it all, they are quite happy with the way things turned out. Nobody gives a <deleted>

I suspect many of us will have provided similar information when updating addresses, passport numbers, etc over the last few years. I signed a load of crap to do that a coupe of years back, that might make me current - but they didn't ask for any tax ID - I definitely don't have a Thai ID and would need to dig deep in my files to find the old UK one that I last used in the late 1990s. No email here at all, got a few million Baht sitting in the account and I withdrew 50k Baht a few days ago from an ATM.

Could it be that his 'parole' period has ended and he's now free to do whatever he wants? Maybe this incredibly wealthy man checked with his lawyers before doing something...just a thought

I've got an LG which is also about 11 or 12 years old and its perfect. Sometimes you just get a dud and there's nothing you can do about it. Luck of the draw. If it dies, just buy a new one. I've also got a couple of Mitsubishi upright freezers, also zero problems, many, many years old.

Inis Mor is a small island off the west coast of Ireland.

I once ordered an ear thermometer which required a medical import license before they would deliver it. They have stolen your item and you will never get it. It's not a DHL issue - it's a customs issue.

Indeed, which explains why it's so popular in the UK 😂

Yet this burning is what makes it a big problem at times when they burn, the other things are year around.

Oh yeah, what did this email say?

Not yet but I guess I can look forward to it 😂

Yeah, either get it posted over or do a full test.

People can be retarded, this is an example of that.

Lol, this is hilarious and the double standard they would like to apply is astounding.
