You still don't get it. You get nothing extra for paying income taxes or a wealth tax that is looming, no health care, no residence status, just polluted air. You still have essentially a 1 year tourist visa which is called retirement visa, 90 day report, renew visa yearly, etc. There is zero added value for paying any taxes. If you filed a tax return in Canada, and it sounds like you are from there, at least you would be a legal immigrant and get health care for what that is worth there. Here, they just laugh at you.

Haha. Well if you like giving your money to the Thai government and get absolutely nothing back except more polluted air, be my guest. If you gave the same money to me, at least I would be your friend.

Such wishful comments by dreamers. This wealth tax is again linked to the CRS. For example if you had a bank account in NZ and did stock trading thru it and had term deposits, first off this NZ bank will insist on your Thai tax number, no number, they will make you close this account. If you do provide a TIN since they know you reside in Thailand, they will automatically report to the Thai gov your total assets in NZ and exactly how much you earn there, every single year. And Thailand has active CRS agreements in place with all countries that matter, even China and Russia !

The foreigners in Thailand, especially the retirees, are sitting ducks. Canada is part of the OECD and CRS agreement for years and if you lived in Canada, you would have to report your world income, same as coming to Thailand. But at least Canada makes you a legal immigrant and gives you health care for what that is worth there. Here, you will just get laughed at.

Even if you paid only 100 baht, you get nothing in return except more polluted air. Still have to do 90 day, have to report to immigration within 24 hours even if you stayed 1 nite in a hotel, max retirement visa is 1 year which is nothing more than a tourist visa, can't own land, no health care, no immigrant status, etc. Talk about a rip off.

Stop forcing foreigners to file a tax return if a tax resident and pay taxes on their world income. This is absolutely essential in attracting wealthy foreigners. After all, the Thai government gives absolutely nothing for paying taxes, no health care, no residence status.

She has the IQ of a peanut. Deport her to Gaza.

When Earth's temp. gets to 2 degrees above pre-industrial Earth's temp., we will go the way of the dinosaur. And I believe it is now at 1.6 degrees.

They don't come any more naive or weaker than Taxania. For years, political appointments are based on who do you know, not one's background and experience. So one immigration minister after another hasn't a clue what to do. Never hear of Canada's issues in Japan or Thailand or S. Korea for obvious reasons. Trudeau Sr started Taxania on the road to perdition and that is exactly where it will end up. Trump knows this. Achmed, Machmed and Mohammed won't integrate with regular Canadians or socialize with them in a million years. Their goal is crystal clear except to the brilliant politicians.

The audacity of that animal. I do hope Trump assists Israel in teaching Hamas and co. a lesson they will never remember.

Well done Mr. Mast. Also have the ICC defunded and prosecution charges brought against its executives along with jail time.

Voters should pay very close attention to a candidate's background to see if they are qualified for the job instead of treating an election as a popularity contest. In Jr's case, obvious problems, a high school drama teacher isn't qualified for PM and his father started Taxania on the road to perdition at break neck speed. Trudeau Sr being an obvious antisemitic was another huge issue and bent over for Quebec.

You hear of these muslim evil attacks in Japan and there are very good reasons why you don't. Wake up western countries.

Al Jazeera should be banned everywhere, It is part of the propaganda arm of Hamas and co. They have never once said release all hostages and only women and children are killed, etc.

Take away the shavers, make up, sexy clothes and hair dos and you would think you are sleeping beside Godzilla.

Air pollution goes everywhere, even if you hid in your closet. And it exists in the Chiang Mai area all year. Go get a lung xray if you have been in the area a long time. Best solution is to leave Thailand.

Step by step the muslims will take over England politically. Same in Canada, Sweden, etc. These politicians are sleepwalking into a disaster.

No such thing as Palestinians and it isn't their own land legally. They are muslims. Release all hostages and Hamas gives themselves up and life goes back to normal. You forgot this.

I do believe the US knows the exact origin of kung flu but for some strange reason is protecting China. Perhaps if they released the truth, the entire world would revolt against China in every way imaginable.

Wouldn't go near popular tourist spots. I would get more relaxation at the bus terminal.

If you believe in those numbers published by Hamas, you likely believe in the tooth fairy too. Propaganda is one tool of 4 tools used by xxxxxxs to go after infidels.

Qatar=Hamas=Iran=Syria=Lebanon, all have the same brain. Trump should also pressure Qatar to take take in lots of their muslim brothers from Gaza. Chump change for Qatar.

If you are an infidel and sounds like you are not, then you should be very concerned as you should refer to the koran as to your destiny. Israel didn't start this mess and your Hamas buddies refuse to surrender and continue to hold the hostages. If the latter reverses then I am sure all bombing stops. The muslims do not rebel against Hamas and are very complicit in the years it took to build those tunnels. Propaganda is one tool the muslims use. Israel doesn't need to use it and I have yet to read about Israeli propaganda during this particular mess.

Any info published by muslims is not to be trusted and likely propaganda to gather pity from the world thru an outlet like Aljazeera. Let the rich Arab oil countries provide for their own instead of bilking the west who are broke themselves.

They aren't Palestinians but muslims without a future if they stay there and Hamas exists and continues to hold the hostages.
