Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I don't think about the 4 million or so foreigners who live in Thailand, only the 180,000 or so Western expats, some of whom have frequented these forums for the past 20 years or more. I know from previous debates over that period that the number of expats using the income method is not small, but I have no idea what the number is. The fact remains that even today, many expats are unable to raise the 800k needed for a visa deposit and must resort to illegal agency tactics for this purpose.....I don't believe this is a small number of expats. I cannot recall ever being involved in even one discussion about Thai Tax, prior to the current slew of threads following news of the rule change, tax was simply not something that members debated, or even enquired about, it just wasn't on anyone's radar. If ever there was a debate involving tax, it was always in the context of tax free interest bearing accounts available in the IOM and elsewhere offshore. From a personal perspective, Thai tax was never something that featured in my remittance planning over the years so I suspect there were times where I remitted savings principle along with interest earned in the same year. My pensions have long been deposited directly into my Thai account but fortunately are multi country sourced, the combination of which makes the total free of Thai tax. But I recall from those past debates that many were not as fortunate yet still tax was never an issue. I have no idea how many people have ignored Thai tax over that period or whether the range should be 1000 or 5,000 or 10k, 30k or 50k. What I do know for certain is that tax was never a concern and for many it was never a consideration, so if the number ended up being higher rather than lower, I for one would not be at all surprised. Of far bigger concern to expats over that period was the Baht/Pound exchange rate, which threatened to make many expats ineligible for their visa's and did send many back home as it fell from the 70's down to the low 40's over many years. -

Newin Rejects Thaksin's Casino Plan for Thailand
An interesting topic, especially considering the impact of such projects on tourism and the economy. Legalization of casinos is always a controversial issue, because it affects both positive aspects in the form of income and attracting tourists, and risks associated with social stability and debt burden on the population. -

Sending email to your self
The emails all live on the hotmail/google/whatever servers, NOT in your computer. That's why you can't access your email without an internet connection. On whatever device, you go online using a browser, open your email account and send to any email account. None of that lives on your hard drive unless you upload/download attachments. You can open your hotmail account on your laptop AND your phone simultaneously and send message to/from your email account. With email open on both devices, send an email to yourself from one of them. Go to the other device, and you can see that same message in the 'sent' folder before it reaches the inbox. Anyhoo, if what I think you're asking is can you send all your old emails from your old computer to your new computer, that's not necessary. If you're asking about attachments/files you've downloaded previously, then you need to transfer those to your new hard drive manually. If they came from old emails that have not been deleted, you can open those emails on your new computer and download them again. -
