Thai Finance Ministry Plays the Long Game on Casino Plans
Every other day we read about 50 new steps that must be taken prior to final decision. Never ending. Meanwhile there are still some asinine gov't decision makers that feel a highly expensive life cycle CCP submarine is what the Thai people require. Ridiculous. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
if a "tourist" is only here for 175 days, he is not a tax resident so wouldn't have a tax id nor have to file taxes on any of the funds remitted into Thailand. If someone knows for sure that they will stay within Thailand for less that the 180 days, then again not necessary to obtain a tax ID (probably Thai Revenue Dept wouldn't provide one for that person anyway. My personal feeling is that either this scheme or the worldwide income taxation scheme if it ever comes to pass will REQUIRE all adults in Thailand to obtain a tax ID number, but I also don't think that the revenue dept will give a tax ID if one is on tourist visa. I sure have no idea when or what they will come up with but believe that they are still discussing some ways so that they can milk every baht out of those long stayers. Possibly will need to tighten up the immigration and tax folks jobs and sharing of what they can get out of the expats. Or maybe they will do as the PI and not tax pensions of foreigners at all. Then today we see an opposition member talking about the PM dissolving the parliament soon - if this happens, then any tax scheme will probably be put on hold indefinitely. If it does happen, can see the baht losing steam too as who will want to invest here. BTW any ideas on what will happen as Thailand joins BRICS next year. SInce they want to do all away with the dollar/pound/euro - how that will impact us western expats? -

When Our Money Dies
But, but, but ... what if everything goes down, down, down? All assets fall to near zero. The velocity of money also approaches zero. All we're left with is barter. What to do then? Not an easy question to answer, I know. Not even easy to think about it. -

Addiction
No reason at all to think about costly inpatient programs. Sounds like you have now decided to remain addicted. If in the future you ever decide to come out of the addiction I can refer to doctor specializing in this who can help with medications to control/lessen withdrawal symptoms. But you need to make that decision, and to summon up the determination to follow through. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
I lived on Phuket from about 1988 to 1996. The island was such a wonderful place back then. The roads were so quiet. I drove around on a Honda 90. I've watched videos of the island now. It could be Spain now.
