to anrcaccount: do you have a crystal ball that can predict the future with 100% accuracy? i'm curious to see how this all will work out in a few years. i'm convinced the tax laws will take effect—maybe not right away, but in the long run, most tax residents will likely be captured by the system and made to pay taxes ... btw: the TRD can force you to pay taxes even after 10 years ... just in any case you think you are "safe" the next few years ...

who owns volvo? isn't it that geely is the majority owner of volvo? and geely does have the final say (also business wise) ... may we can agree, volvo is a former swedish car company owned since many years by the chinese geely holding group ...

don't forget, he has the best medical care, which brought him back from being near death to a fit senior ... if his nose grows every night due to his endless lies, he has enough money and doctors who can work miracles to reduce his nose to its normal size ...

"... a commercially practical fuel will be widely available within the next 5-10 years." this was already said about 20 years ago ... copy from www: Hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in the future of transportation, especially for heavy-duty vehicles (like trucks and buses) and in regions with strong government support. However, its widespread adoption for passenger cars will likely depend on advancements in technology, infrastructure development, and how it competes with battery electric vehicles ...

volvo is a chinese made car ... 5555

i tried to list the car brands in thailand where you can buy a bev (battery electric vehicle)! the list is certainly not complete ... mercedes-benz porsche audi bmw mini volvo mg nissan volkswagen ford lexus hyundai tesla byd gwm aion neta hozon xpeng omoda jaecoo geely vinfast deepal avatr zeekr

i agree with you to a certain extent. many ev brands available in thailand today are in china well-established, larger companies that are unlikely to disappear from the global market anytime soon. however, i do see a correction coming for the thai market. luxury and high-end ev cars, especially those with a presence in bangkok, will likely remain. but other brands that have only half-heartedly built a dealer network and offer only a few vehicles in the mid-range or lower price segments will, in my opinion, face ignificant challenges in the future ev thai market. currently, there are around 15-25 new ev car companies that have launched in thailand over just a few years. in my opinion, that's simply too many.

the rule about saving before 31.12.2023 will remain in place; it is not just a one-time or one-year provision. even in 2025 and so on, you can transfer savings made before 31.12.2023 to thailand without paying any taxes.

a few months ago, i had the chance to take a closer look at the xpeng g6. now i am really surprised by the high price. the competition with similar vehicles is strong, and a service network isn't yet in place (?). i'm curious to see how well it will sell ... how many cars does xpeng plan to sell per month? eg. zekkr's goal is 500 cars per month, which i believe will be difficult to achieve over a long period with just one or two models.

you can lower the fan speed using a capacitor. there was a discussion about this a few years ago, i can not find it anymore. maybe ask @Crossy for more details, he was very helpful.

it's likely that this is once again tied to countless regulations, guidelines, and forms, making it not worth the effort to get a tax reduction. as we all know, thai bureaucracy has no limits, following the motto, "more and as complicated as possible is better than just simple and straightforward!"

do not have any family or relatives anymore back home, and i have to give the bank a value address ... and to be honest, who knows 20 years ago that will be a problem in the future ... i did not know...

over the last 20 years three different banks (not UK) forced me as a long time customer to look for other banks, because i am living in thailand ...

of course, you save a few hundred thousand of dollars on taxes ... but suggesting to rent a cheap appartment in pp for 10k per year ... do you take yourself seriously? 😕

... maybe your wife or your gig can give you a hand ... (sorry, couldn't resist ...)

... that's a good one ... she will keep working for toni and the other corrupt old dinosaurs ... i've yet to see a thai politician whose top priority is serving the thai people ...

so toni stabbed his own party in the back ... an interesting development ...

... that is a good one ... especially coming from you ... 🍺🍻

no one knows the answer, but keep in mind, this is thailand... anything can happen! thinking it won’t happen is one way to cope, but some of us prefer to be proactive. and if some foreigners believe it won’t happen because of: - other laws aren’t enforced either - most thais don’t pay taxes - foreigners are too important to upset - they lack the technical expertise or the manpower to effectively enforce the law - they can't enforce it without some benefit in return for us - etc. honestly, i think these foreigners are being naive, because the thai government couldn’t care less about us or what happens to us or our families ... there aren't many countries where you can live without paying taxes... thailand used to be an exception, but that's no longer the case...

i would agree with you... until the law is enforced. then, someone among you might end up in trouble, and it could hit you really hard. i doubt you'll be able to dodge the tax laws as easily as some traffic rules by ignoring them or pretending not to know... but hey, it's your choice!

the ev owner (ww 40+ mil) can see it already ... you for sure won't see it even in an other 10 years time ... you will create again some made up claims, we got it ... anyway, better not to feed someone like you ....

the new 2025 BYD Seal ... top speed of 240 km/h ... this will make the germans happy

@norbra thank you very much for your efforts ; now everyone can sleep much better ... we don't really know what will happened. but i think it's unlikely that this tax issue will go away and stay away ... keep in mind, the TRD doesn't need to go after every foreigner in the first year (starting 2025), they have technically up to 10 years time to catch a tax evaders ... it seems that some new tax residents will voluntarily file tax returns for 2024 and pay a few thousand baht in taxes. this could potentially lead to others being held accountable as well... we'll see." note: how long did it take for the system to start enforcing unpaid speeding tickets? only now is it slowly taking effect... with taxes for foreigner, it could unfold in a similar way ... but it will be for sure more costly! but as often said, to each their own ...
