my personal opinion: many thais who should be paying taxes do not file tax returns, which is correct. however, a large portion of thais have little or nothing to declare. enforcing tax laws against this group would require a significant effort (manpower) from the TRD, which may is not justifiable. in contrast, enforcing the law on foreigners who are tax residents in thailand is much simpler and would generates more revenue per person for the TRD ...

it might be enforced rarely, but personally, i wouldn’t take it lightly if i committed tax evasion, even if i am only low-profile case. i prefer to follow the rules, and i’m confident it will pay off. the past 20 years in thailand confirms me that this is the right approach for the next 20 years ...

since when is thailand in the west?

financially illiterate, generate steady 5%, a safe investment and that all in thailand? that would be nice but to be honest, impossible ...

i watched the video a few months ago, and neither of them convinced me ... the questions nor the answers. it was more of an embarrassing event, also with some false statements. i would not to suddenly start transferring money to my wife and declaring it as a "tax-free-gift" on the tax return ... but as always, up to you ...

what ever that means and what the diffrent is to CRS .... "Instead of joining the CRS, the US has been using a domestic law since 2015 also known as Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which is aimed at obtaining information about the financial accounts of American citizens abroad."

she is the same evil and liar as her father... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... no morals, only greedy for money and power... disgusting people ...

it's getting better and better... thailand, here we come for cooking (no more temples as an excuse) ...

media and several sources, including a few embassies, have reported that the tax law has been adjusted and now also affects foreigners. expat associations are organizing information events on the topic, and so on. while a large portion of expats are aware of the changes, many are likely to ignore or downplay the new situation ... i am sure, that expats with transfering a substantial taxable amounts into thailand (several million thb per year) have already taken steps in response to the new tax situation. they don't have the mindset of doing nothing and waiting, assuming that nothing will happen anyway ...

there are not so many as byd, mg, changan etc , but have a look at: https://www.neta.co.th/en/dealer_network eg. 5 neta dealer in the north:

i don't own a neta v, but i'll try to answer your question, some neta v owner may correct my post: the average consumption is about 12 kwh per 100 km, depending on driving style etc. ptt charging station prices vary, 7-9 baht per kwh. cost for 350 km driving: 3.50 x 12 x 8 = 336 baht (assuming 8 baht per kwh at a ptt station) 3.50 x 12 x 4 = 168 baht (assuming 4 baht per kwh for a home charger)

yes, it does! congrats to your pink id card and welcome to the TRD-family ...

byd offered free charging for a reason: the company recently cut prices significantly on some models, and customers who had purchased their cars at higher prices were unhappy and complained. in response, byd provided free charging for a limited time as a form of compensation ...

it's not just you; he does that with other members too ... (i get it also ...) it seems, expatoilworker still hasn't found a new hobby involving his favorite subjects: fire and explosions ...

your calculation is correct, except the "real" interest rate is 3.786% ...

norway is a rich country and the people are well educated. you really think the only reason 94% of new car owners decided to buy an ev is the price? can it be that you look down at norwegian or / and ev owners? they are buying ev because they love it and it makes sense for them, not only because of the subsidizing...

i completely agree with that statement! they simply can't compete because they've been asleep for the last 20 years and have severely underestimated china in many areas ... Electric car sales in Norway took a 94% share of the market in August a new world record statistics showed Monday, as sales in the rest of Europe stagnate. https://www.voanews.com/a/norway-s-electric-car-sales-set-new-world-record-/7768036.html

my wife goes to the tax office every year with all our bank statements, including receipts from investments, government funds, etc. normally, the staff enter all the data into the system. however, this year, the employee asked my wife about the amount we calculated by ourself. since the difference from the system was only a few baht, the employee decided not to enter all the data into the computer! conclusion: banks are sending data directly to the TRD! i've had a TIN for over 10 years and have been filing tax returns every year... without any issue ...

i do hope so … even if it ends up back at square one with another military government, losing many years of development once again because of the greedy criminal toni and his corrupt followers.

it could be, this two lanes becomes in the front into one lane, so therefore the two "lane-lights" regulates the traffic ...

agree, but sometimes a rare thing can become more likely, even in thailand. for example, enforcement of speeding tickets or tm30 regulations. some foreigners prefer to follow the rules or laws, even if it's inconvenient or costly. it's your choice.

the new 2025 seal is selling very well in china ... https://www.car250.com/byd-seal-evo-2024-08-1.html?sfnsn=mo

i use bangkok bank internet banking since many years without any issues. it's easy to use ... however i would prefer they would add two-factor authentication (via cellphone) instead only user name and password ....

thanks for your comment, i can see where you're coming from. but, i only partly agree with your statement. battery technology will continue to improve every year, because there's still a lot of potential. however, for ev owners who drive 50-100 km daily and typically charge overnight at home, these advancements won't make much of a difference. for this large group of ev owners, the current battery technology will remain sufficient even 20 years from now. technology and software will also improve, today’s ev's do receive alredy relevant software updates. processors and other components may be upgraded or replaced if ever (?) needed . in my opinion, autonomous driving won’t become a realistic topic in thailand anytime soon ... the fundamental technology of today’s ev's will, in my view, still be enough 20 years from now to drive safely and comfortably from A to B. of course, there will be more refined and advanced ev's in the future, especially due to the rapid production pace of new models coming from china (with which established car manufacturers do struggle to keep up)! if someone is waiting for ev technology to improve by 50 to 100 percent, they will likely have to wait about 10 years or even longer. as for the prices of these more advanced ev's, it's difficult to predict at this point ... i feel that now and next year will be a great time to switch to an electric car ... drive safe!
