Jezus the guy was taken to court by Brian Goudie aka Goldie a Scottisch confidance trickster who spent time in jail in Australia for simular offences and was posing as a fake lawyer in Pattaya and has taken many to the cleaners in that wonderfull beachtown....

Google the name .....Brian Goldie or Goudie and Drew Noyes !

The guy who filed defamation charges against matthews is now wanted by Thai law himself and on overstay himself because his pasport was confiscated in relation to courtcases against the fake lawyer wich he lost

and an arrest warrent has been issued for Goudie/Goldie.

Thai woman prefer the apple that does not fall far from the three wich would be Thai men.

I retired as soon as I could afford it - at 38.

Please do tell how you retired at 38 ?

Try being from Canada or northern states! Thai tropical weather and heat is what got me started thinking about Thailand in the first place (all the other fringe benefits are just a bonus).

I hate winter, always have. Florida-style weather works for me just fine.

Actually I don't think I could ever stay here full time.

I mean I'm not overly enamoured with our (relatively mild and short) S/W Aussie winter..., but I only need to visit S/E Asia for the 2 or 3 months to skirt that issue.., and then I get to go back to the climate, beauty, coherence and relative order of Australia.

Live here full time..., surely they are jesting !

Why????....Costs are way cheaper!

Guess it depends on where you live.

I live on the beach......It's perfect!

Both property's look like they have almost nothing to no furniture not even window curtains of some kind , both houses look like short time rental property's to me.

Care to share some more picks of the inside of your so called beach property?

Knocking up a young bargirl at the age of 70 and having twins,just love pushing that pram around in the Thai heat keeps me young......

And when they are older, they can push you around in your wheelchair.

Of a cliff or a balcony?

Knocking up a young bargirl at the age of 70 and having twins,just love pushing that pram around in the Thai heat keeps me young......

Sadly most that retire early at 30 or 40 and extend their holiday in Thailand end up on the curve after jumping from their condo balcony or become Engrit teachers as one can assume from the many story's here.

So very clearly when reading up on the posting history of most boasting about retirement at age 40 to 50 al is a puf of hot air concerning financial securety.

A lot of the time, those

boasting about retiring at

39 or 45 or whatever are

talking guff. A lot of them

just have their finances

planned to the last cent.

They stretch something

like GBP50,000 (which is

about THB2.5 million and

just rent a house in the

middle of nowehere for

3k a month, eat street

food, drink cheap beer

and shag cheap women

and hope to hell they

don't get sick. Without

incident, that can sustain

you for 10 years if you're

spending 20k a month,

all-in but it isn't retirement,

it's a wing & a prayer

So they did not listen to the wise and arrogant words of that German klingon Naam......

where did that come from? ah, yes, i remember, he stepped on your shirt sleeves in some earlier post.

jealous? or you just dislike krauts? some people just do better than others, pal.

i know nothing about naam other than what he posted but he seems to have made a lot more out of nothing than many others out of a lot.

you do yourself no favor by displaying your inferiority in such blatant way - just another arrogant kraut's opinion...

But Manfred you choose to retire and live togheter and breed with people in Thailand so who are you to call people inferior or untermenschen as you people in Germania like to call others ,you crack me up reed up on your own posting history .......as clearly others can .

Semi retired at 45. Fully retired at 49. Private income/wealth from working <deleted> hard from the age of 15 culminating in totally passive dividend income and wealth that I still have control over as a director, plus private income from private investments.

I'll never qualify for a government pension and shunned away from private schemes because it was obvious that most were a fiddle and there solely for the benefit of the administrators, who took no responsibility for their bad investment decisions. I decided at the age of 25 that relying on a "pension" of any sort as the bulk of your income post retirement was a very tenuous road to follow.

As for tax, I've said it before on this forum - treat the tax man like a mushroom and keep them in the dark. I've avoided more tax than I've paid in my lifetime through knowing how to dance around the rules. Most of my inclome is fully imputed, and the income that is liable for tax doesn't get declared.

Oh, and there's an old quote from somebody who said that once they retired they couldn't figure out how they ever found the time to go to work. How right they were!!!!

Private income wich you earned before you invested would have been income taxed,unless you became loaded so to speak from criminal gains and as we are living in a very digitalized world the tax man knows also ,so the saying i never pay taxes is a load of crap .

again a generalising and incorrect comment garnished with "load of crap" which applies to this comment.

after graduating i worked 3½ years in Germany and when i left to work abroad my net "investment" after taxes amounted to the princely sum of DM 7,500 (equivalent to 4,000 US-Dollars at that time).

as i could not make up my mind to use the afore-mentioned amount for a yacht or a Learjet i decided to spend 15 years in the Saudi desert, the African bush and Asian swamps working hard, most of the time 7 days a week, earning tax free "real" money which i invested tax free and which generates tax free income. and that no matter whether you eat your heart out or not

by the way, nobody claimed in this thread "never paid any taxes". your sorry attempts to divert trying to hide your ignorance in income tax matters are failing miserably.

No many claim to never have paid any income tax like you on here but then again they do or are talking out of their respective arse in other money related topics and many have claimed in this thread as to not paying taxes like you .....so wich is it now but if you have said learjet why arent you living in Monaco of al places ?And that 3 1/2 years you worked in Germany means you payed taxes .

In my opinion people who claim to own coin and retire at an early age would not go to live in a place like Thailand and most people living in the west and educated live on wages from day to day ,The middle class is being rooted out by the powers that be in the west.

<snip>

if you are an American you are excused. if not i claim "little do you know!" because you forgot to consider the zero income tax advantage people "with coin" enjoy in Thailand.

No such thing as zero income tax Naam and i do not plan to retire or live in such a place like Thailand.

Yes there is. Currently a self funded retiree, with his superannuation in pension phase, enjoys a totally tax free income tax environment, but still pays GST (VAT), along with other indirect taxes, and there is no limit.

That may change if the government retains power in the July election, and they don't change their policy prior, which I believe they will do. It will only be 15% on income above $75,000 pa though.

So you never paid any tax on the money you earned in youre working carreer before you retired ?My point being on never paying any taxes......

Retired @ 32. Didn't want to support/contribute to a society that I didn't like. High time to get money back from years of paying tax & social security. Zero sumness.

In my country its called being on the dole.

Paid no income tax on my earnings for the last 26 years I worked. All perfectly legal, tax man gave me a tax code of NT. Explain that o wise one.

So you where a pirate who sometimes sails back to his desert island to open that treasure chest and take some gold coins back to Thailand?

That was for my son.

To me it's a no-brainer....for the sake of the kiddies, if you look and dress like a lady you use the ladies (whether you have a penis or not) and visa versa.

How fearful and confusing it would be for a child to see a person of the opposite sex (in appearance anyway) coming into their toilet while they are in it.

So, if I decide to wear a dress for an evening out, I am within my rights to use the ladies ?

And before you state that I do not 'look like' a lady, have you seen the majority of ladyboys ?

If you decide to wear a dress for the night you're a transvestite, not transgender, huge difference! A transgender person lives in the gender they feel more closely aligned to, a transvestite occasionally wears clothes of the opposite gender, but lives as their birth gender.

It's not quite as simple as that though, since the whole area between transgender and transvestite is filled with people who identify as gender fluid.

Poor soda can't win, if an effeminate gay male lives as a male they get shunned and called proofs, Nancy boys, faggots, etc, but if they feel more comfortable living with their effeminism as a woman they can't use the toilets!

Sometimes i feel like Mussolini......

If you have a fixed pension ore income coming from abroud taxes will be paid at the source,I think you do go shopping and buy day to day things such as putting fuel in youre car in Thailand?If yes than you pay a certain thing wich is called VAT thats taxes Herr Naam......so no need for that German arrogance.

i rephrase and change from "little do you know" to "nothing you know!"

of course we pay VAT but only on a part of our expenses and only one third of what we would pay in our home countries.

but VAT is negligible pocket money for those with "coin". what counts is (in my case) that "arrogant" German finance minister Schäuble cannot levy an "arrogant and perverted" German income tax rate of 44.6% since we are living in Thailand.

there is also no tax at source for most pensioners as Thailand has ratified with many countries double tax agreements, reserving Thailand's right to levy income tax on pensions and social insurance but does not enforce that right.

this tax lesson is free of charge, now waiting for the next ignorant comment.

Sorry pensioners living abroad from my country still pay taxes at the source some dont even bother to register themselves as expats because of loosing certain benefits and rights some are married or are living with a local lass and don't register said relationship because big brother would take away a large chunck of change from their fixed pension.

Well you must be smarter than the Thai government,How come most Thai's at a certain pay grade have to pay taxes and social security?Please enlighten me with youre infinate wisdom instead of being a prick.

when an ignoramus like you resorts to personal insults i usually pity him and smile instead of wasting my time.

today i make an exception, throw in the magic expression "offshore income" and add that Farang retirees who are Thais at a certain pay grade are as rare as a sabre-toothed hen in a Pattaya go-go bar.

warning! you have exhausted your quantity of free questions. additional questions will invoke consulting fees

As usual full of hot air......

i apologise and bow to your egssburtise concerning income tax matters in Thailand. those of us living in Thailand since decades must be having either hallucinations or perhaps the tooth fairy takes care of our taxes
