thaibook Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 what is the cost of a "soapy"? VAT is at 10% (?) so how many business associates does one need to invite to save sufficient to pay for dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I've got to start asking for receipts at the Soapy so that my wife can add those to our tax credits at the end of the year. Heck, I'll let her keep the money for a shopping trip! What could go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This magnanimous gesture is nothing other than a temporary rebate on the whopping tax hike on soapies announced earlier this year:.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get arrested if you're just having a massage from an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they seriously believe that soapy massage parlours and karaoke bars are legitimate businesses, have set price lists and will give customers VAT registered receipts. Visit a soapy massage, choose a hooker, pay and ask for a receipt, then see how far you will get. This is so pathetic that I can`t even find this funny. The Government has not made any announcement that soapies and karaoke bars specifically qualify, neither is it promoting it, it just so happens that soapy and karaoke businesses fit into the scheme. Being "out of touch" doesn't come into this. Journalists having some fun are the ones pointing this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Dick Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think the rebate applies to the massage, but not to the (negotiated) tip.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yeap i know, my comment states prostituition is. I did not touch on massage or karaoke. Actually, paying for, or getting paid for, sex is not illegal either.Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
