Nope, I currently have 8,000 baht + 87,000 baht each month to live on (I teach science online). But I find that I easily live an enjoyable and healthy life with just that 8k 🙂
Agree about the zero tax thing. I have a couple of years left on a visa in a neighbouring country... no capital gains tax. If they don't renew the visa I'd have to shift to Thailand; where there is CGT. And it wouldn't work out too well for me since they don't value the cost of the assets at the date of arrival in Thailand. Instead, unless one can jump through a lot of hoops, the acquired cost is zero. So CGT is due on the whole amount. I'm holding Bitcoin, which could appreciate in the next couple of years; so I would sell it tax free, and transfer the funds to Thailand. Enough to live on for a few years. I'm long in the tooth; so I'm not worried about not earning interest.
