Fortunately no, I also never had any arguments with Thais in 10 years+ ... it was a teflon coated... 😇 Only a couple semi-heated talks when I got fined at traffic stops over minor things like drinking a bottle of whisky on my scooter while trying to stand up on the seat.

Such a PITA now with this stuff...Thailand should be a hub for super low crypto profits if they want people to take up their price-ier long-stay visas.. Malaysia and Singapore are streets ahead of them I believe.

crypto wallet you mean.

Well there should no profit on them pegged, but that is just daft. From what I read on the main crypto platform they are no complied to reveal customer data. I'm guessing here that most are not giving a ***** on profit reporting that are based in Thailand and this has something to do with OTC cash-outs. All the UK platforms have to share retroactive customer trading data from Jan 2025 I believe.

This just means people won't be double taxed right ? Basically its an income tax exemption but not a CGT exemption so the 15% still stands.... https://cointelegraph.com/news/thailand-tax-exemption-token-earnings

Ah, the slow destruction of LP starts with that...remember walking down some idyllic side street only to have it ruined by a group of them shouting at each other... I'll try and catch LP again this year before it gets worse.

I'd say just invest your money and use it for rent - all things considered. Could become a target for nastier interlinked relatives in future.

Do you find the place is swamped now with Chinese...? I got in just as the train line got going and it was so smooth going from VVieng town to LP. Surprised the Chinese have not bought out half the town and pumped the prices..room rates are still pretty cheap at the budget end..charming old creaky townhouse rooms.

Hope it works out..my fav. place in Asia is LP but I find that staying a certain amount of time then coming back in future works for me vs thinking of staying there continously....those sleepy streets and Beer Lao and the people are so chilled out...plus a steady supply of white chix coming into town....nice. There is a great Indian restaaurant just as you come on to the peninsula and turn right to go along the riverside road...fantastic food.

Haha, look at you all feeding the troll..he will be on to his next polarising topic next week after he does not go.

Care home. My dad had it, it was terrible way to go..eventually the urge to eat even goes.

This guy has been at it since he joined..gets you all typing doesn't he ?

Tone "deaf"....yes, otherwise true I used wrong word also...not integrate....comprehend from a distance would have been better. I rarely found any common ground with males in Thailand except may be younger uni guys - a slightly different outlook than most out there.

= another mental case that gravitates to Thailand.

Sounds like you really are integrating into the country you live in.
