Re: Big increase in air fares

I got my AirAsia app working and the following o/w fares from Don Muang to Udon Thani on Tuesday next week. Nothing near 5000 baht. But still a 50% jump! My post was with reference to another member being quoted 5000 baht for a o/w to UTH for next week. The closest I have found close to that is the...

Re: Bank Account Opening

Seems you must have a three month visa no matter what you do. For people who not so old to be a pensioner and work, even if like me you have had a home here for years, unless you go to the trouble to get a three month visa the banks not interested in you. I have to work. I have a career that takes ...

Re: Bank Account Opening

It would be great to have a Bank Account in Thailand. FWIW Bangkok bank rules do not stop you getting an account. However the place where people have had the most success without a Thai influential person assisting is the head office in Bangkok. Personally I have opened several accounts with only a...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

On March 1st you wrote, "There is a big difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Quite a few are recommending and suggesting ways for tax evasion, I don’t and won’t." And I assumed, I guess wrongly, you were referring to me floating the idea of segregating accounts. You never commented abo...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Where is it stated 'Savings' are not taxable. The correct question should be “ Where is it stated that Savings' are taxable” The tax is on income generated after 1/1/2024 It does not reference money transfered as taxable (though the RD may claim tax on it and require you to prove it isn’t taxable a...

“Speculation is the same as guessing” I don’t disagree, however there is Speculation with a sound basis of fact, the majority of my speculation is this, I am often correct. There is speculation with no basis in fact or with very poor support for the speculation, the claim that the Thai tax changes w...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

All posts are pure speculation. We won't know anything until the dust settles and then we still won't know for sure. I seriously doubt that Thailand would risk losing future retirees by taxing pensions. This whole thing has blown up while I think this new tax was aimed at wealthy people dodging tax...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

I do believe, at this point, there is enough guidance from the Thai Revenue Department to plan ahead and possibly minimize any tax burden. That is true for those who have no foreign income. However I think the majority do have either foreign income or foreign funds being remitted into Thailand and ...

<snip> So if carrying bottles of liquid from duty free onto the plane you must buy in the last stop before your destination.

Re: Liquids on airlines

Does this liquid problem only affect carryon luggage? Just put liquids in your check in luggage. Duty free will be different but they normally seal it correctly in a clear bag. I don't carry anything in my on board backpack, liquid or otherwise to slow me down through airport checks. Belts shoes, b...
