Expert Urges Government To Raise Tax For Foreign Condo Buyers
There was an article that was posted on the KSE website about 3 weeks ago titled "Expert Urges Government To Raise Tax For Foreign Condo Buyers". The concerning part is the following info from that article: If any of these 4 proposed taxes get imposed then it will bring about a screeching halt to foreigner condo purchases in Thailand. It could also be another reason to cause a mass exodus of foreigners already living in Thailand. Thailand has seen a recent uptick in condo sales to Chinese and Russian buyers over the last two years, people who might not care so much about the taxes because many of those buyers were just trying to escape their own country. But that is likely to have already largely stopped. The number of Russians flooding into Thailand to buy property and avoid the war in Russia has probably steeply declined already. And the Chinese economy is in trouble, so the number of new Chinese condo buyers has presumably also plummeted. The problem with all this new taxation on property is that it would also affect all the foreigners who have already bought condos in Thailand in the past. This would be largely unfair. They should be grandfathered under the old laws because they bought prior to any of the newly proposed property tax laws on foreigners. Who knows how realistic any of this is. But if they start taxing foreigners on their worldwide income, and then on condo ownership, it's going to be devastating to the local economy as all that foreign money finds much greener pastures elsewhere. -

Switching from Non-Immigrant OA to Non-Immigrant O on basis of Retirement
I have always been aware that Phuket immigration has not required insurance for extensions based on retirement where the non O-A was issued prior to certain year. The post I replied to from @chiang mai I took on face value as he stated that has never needed to obtain insurance from his long ago non O-A. As I have stated many times. ...post assistance to the forum or avoid posting -

Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
celebrity's endorsements are pointless to an average citizen who is worried about gas prices and mortgage payments. another billionaire telling the average person how much they understand their plight. shake it off shake it off. -

No, she wasn't a freelancer. She wanted to go for dinner, etc... the way normal women pick your pockets. She was explaining to me that her Thai boyfriend wanted to introduce a permanent 3-some situation into their relationship by bringing in another girl. She decided to cut her losses from her Thai bf, so was trying her luck jumping ship to a farang. -

Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
Getting g back to Topic. Taylor Swift’s endorsement is a huge win for Harris. Swift has millions of followers in the young age group of voters that Democrats need to onboard to win the election too , a demography that doesn’t show up in most polls and therefore a wildcard. That Swift also brings her feminist reputation to the fight precisely when Republicans are actively undermining women’s rights is a double bonus. It’s huge.- 1
