Taxation of foreighners in S/E Asia?
I think what the member is suggesting is that the money remitted into Thailand to purchase the car is taxed early next year, thus, the car has costed you more than a Thai. Example: A Honda dealer is selling a new Honda for say 1 million baht. The Thai pays 1 million baht for it, and the foreigner pays 1 million baht for it. No two tier pricing at the Honda dealer. However, the 1 million baht the foreigner remitted into Thailand MAY make up part of the foreigner's tax liability with the TRD between 1st Jan and 31st March the following year. Should that be the case, it's only logical to factor in that tax liability to the total cost of the vehicle for a foreigner, which then make the vehicle more expensive for the foreigner to buy than the Thai. Or, are you suggesting remitting the money from your home country directly into the Honda dealer's bank account? Just on this point, we are using a car as an example because it is a large purchase, but if you have a tax liability, basically, living in Thailand in general has become more expensive, because to buy that beer, or that meal, or those groceries etc etc, involves remitting funds in order to be able to do so. Another one to consider is medical. One could have a medical episode that require immediate major medical intervention. It could cost hundreds of thousands of baht, or into the millions. The money remitted to pay for it MAY attract tax the next year, thus, basically making the operation / treatment more expensive for the foreigner than the Thai. Yes, we can all bang on about "savings" the previous year, and pensioners paying minimal tax, thresholds and gifts blah blah blah. but we don't know how this will play out. Maybe the TRD will not be interested in any documents you have showing savings from your home country. Maybe they will just give us all a flat rate tax bill based on the total money that was deposited into your account/s. Pay it, and continue to pay it, or leave Thailand for 6 months of the year. Interesting times ahead. -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I think the whole weight loss thing is a scam. Warren Buffet is fat and 93. Just eat enough vitamins and minerals.- 1

Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
Don't answer for anyone besides yourself. I'm not obsessed but against this trade, because it degrades women, and many women and children are abused and worse being involved. If you don't know, nor care, to hear the truth, don't reply. If you're not reading any of my posts, why are you replying to this one? My being with a non paid for girlfriend and raising my children is hardly a desperate existence. You having to pay for sex surely is. Sad you and a few others here will never understand that because this is the only attention you'll get from a woman. -

Religion in Thailand
I think for many Thais this is about the community, being part of a group. And showing others that they do good things. Does everybody follow "the rules"? No. But at least many try most of the time. Would Thailand be better off without above? I don't think so.- 1

His approach. Weaponise the media. Pigeon hole people into categories. Don't acknowledge any concerns of your citizens. Make it illegal to speak up about anything.- 1

Well, not counting calories but eating only half. That's definitely not rocket science. No need for any pharmaceuticals. ๐ -

US Election Spam/Trolling - enough!
Can we please have a sub-sub-sub forum buried somewhere deep in the website for all the US Election spamming trolling whathavery - and not referenced in the side-bar. Trying to find topics of interest is increasingly difficult due to the ever increasing number of Trump/Harris pro and con threads that seem to be dominated by a handful of very recent members who do very little to illuminate. With two months still to go to the election, I can see the forum as becoming simply a place to avoid, probably at least until after January's inauguration. .
