  1. 1 million baht according to the news stories shortly after the incident. 1 million baht is also the common compensation for death, for example is that amount mentioned in insurance policies.
  2. You need the R.O.21 (Income Tax Payment Certificate) and the R.O.22 (Certificate of Residence), both for the said year in question. As the R.O.21 states, you need to be tax resident with a registered TIN (Tax Identification Number) and have been submitting a Tax Return Form, which can be with a 0 baht receipt for tax payment. Without those forms for the given year, you cannot expect to get your withheld dividend tax reduced to 15 percent. Tax Return Form in Thailand needs to be submitted no later than the March 31st the following year.
  3. Unfortunately young girls gets old, if you keep them long enough...
  4. IMO, her visa should be revoked before her next period...
  5. Nope, I've been using budget tickets that cannot be changed, fee or not; they are lost if not used on the booked flight. We just try to help you with answers to your questions; just buy whatever ticket you like.
  6. You can apply for a 60 days tourist visa and in Thailand apply for a 30 days extension of stay, which gives you a total of 90 days. If you apply for METV – Multiple Entry Tourist Visa – you can take a short trip to a neighboring country after 60 or 90 days in Thailand and return to a new 60 days entry and a 30 days extension. That can give a total of 180 days with one re-entry. It's my understanding that when you find a job you'll need to apply for a non-immigrant B-visa abroad and re-enter on that visa. I'm not sure if you can change from a tourist visa to non-B visa inside Thailand; perhaps others can answer that or you can find a thread in the forum with answer.
  7. It's the shop owners rules, just like a house owner's rules; simple as that. If you don't like their rules, shop somewhere else, where you don't need to remove your shoes; like convenient stores and shopping malls, there you also can find pharmacies and a lot of other shops that let you keep your shoes on.
  8. Second hand car are (often too) expensive in Thailand. It's better to buy a new with full warranty, if you worry about quality; it will keep a good price for a number of years.
  9. Yes. Therefore, don't BUY leasehold condos or something sub-leased. There are earlier cases where people have lost their investment, some even their luxury house investments. Your contract will be with the leaseholder of the original lease, not the real land owner; so, any claim would be against the leaseholder than haven't paid the landowner.
  10. At the moment upgrade of low title farmland deeds to nor sor 4 (Chanote) has begun. Check in the local area or office, what is possible in your area.
  11. You both completely miss the point. I'm fully aware it's a requirement of the airline and not Immigration to have an outbound flight within 30 days when entering VE. The reason for this is simple. If, for any reason, you were denied entry, the airline, at their own expense and inconvenience, are responsible for returning you to your point of departure. As I understand, they are also subject to a separate fine. Most simply recommend purchasing a cheap throw away ticket from any Thai airport, without any forethought. My question (thinking outside the box) was simply if your outbound ticket was from any Thai airport other than the one at which you arrived, if refused entry, it would be impossible to travel to any other airport. At the very least, to avoid a refusal or complication to board at the original point of departure, make sure your outbound ticket is from the same airport you'll be arriving at. Yes, I'm aware that the chances of being denied entry is minimal, but it's the airline that's responsible for you if you were to be refused, hence their policy. Last year, a good friend had to return to the UK due to a family bereavement and was unable to renew his retirement extension. Returning VE in November with the intention of applying Non O > 1 year extension at local Immigration and aware of airline policy, booked a cheap outbound ticket from Don Mueang to Kuala Lumpur. His International flight was from London to Suvarnabhumi. Checking in at London, the check in assistant noticed his outbound ticket was DMK to KL. "Sir, if refused entry, how will you travel to DMK". Answer - he couldn't! He then scurried around to book an outbound ticket from BKK to KL, before being allowed to board. I've never heard about this before. If you have a return ticket, which is not changeable, you would need to stay 29 days or so in the arrival airport's terminal. No, the thing is that you have proof for onward travel out of Thiland with the duration of your permitted stay, which is what the airline checks at your departure point. However, if you think otherwise, then just buy yourself a changeable return ticket, then you'll be safe...
  12. The locals in Phuket seems to dislike "bag farang guys" – so to the locals here on Samui...
  13. Rubber trees. Tree for paper is also an option. It takes seven years before you can cut rubber; you might need to co-work with some experienced cutters doing the work; the share is often 40/60 or 50/50. Wood for paper, the trees can be financed by the paper manufacturer. Prices for land can be very different – you, cannot own land as foreigner, so it needs to be a Thai spouse or partner, or through a Thai company limited – and also depends of how good the land is for other purposes, like growing rice. When I bought land the price was around 10k-20k baht for low grade and low title deed rice land; and 40k baht for nor sor 4 (Chanote) title prime rice land per rai (1,600 square meters). Today the same kind of land is traded for around 70k baht and 100k baht per rai. Be aware of title deeds. Some are kind of ownership – for example nor sor 3 variants – and can be upgraded to full ownership (i.e., nor sor 4). Other title deeds can be agricultural land given to be held by families and not sold – even it's widely traded – these titles are not registered by a land office. However, at the moment the agricultural land titles can begin to be upgraded to nor sor 4 (Chanote) title. As an investment, you shall calculate it well, before you do it. Agricultural land gives a low average percentage in outcome (or dividend) of the investment. The gain is the expected increase in land value when it once get sold.
  14. Lucky guy, my girlfriend is only 32 year younger than me. We are not equal, it's very individual how relationships work and age difference in same. If the older part is young in mind – and perhaps also keeps a healthy body – it can work well; I'm talking from experience, however with a few less years the the mentioned poster. For me, it has so far worked well 20 year now... However, my lovely girlfriend is getting older; so, perhaps it's time to restart with a new young model...
  15. To my knowledge, part of the permission for an extension of stay is to keep the deposit as requested; i.e. 800k baht 3 month after permission of extended stay, and not under 400k baht the remaining period until two month before next application, where you need to top up to 800k baht again. Getting below the mandatory levels means that your present extension of stay terminates, and your friend will need to restart with a new non-immigrant O-visa.
  16. According to all threads here I've seen in ASEAN NOW and other forums about the subject, return or onward ticket is not checked by Thai immigration. It's the airline flying you to Thailand that checks it, and if you don't have the ticket, you will not be allowed to board the airplane. So, you'll not end up in BKK without a ticket, and nobody seems to care checking it there.
  17. Gold is very important for Thais, especially Thai ladies. It's safe to buy gold from the many gold stores that normally have red front and lots of shining gold on display. The gold is 23.9 carat and sold per weight. It's also used for investment/savings, where you can show your savings at the same time; more serious physical gold investment would be in gold bars, which some of the gold shops also sells, but they are not as good to make face with. The weight measure is "baht", which is 15.244 gram or the original weight of 768 rice grains. It's the same weight as money-baht originally was, but the money has been devalued, so you today needs more than 30,000 money-baht to get one "real" baht...
  18. April 12th, KAAZE, Sound Club If you are into Top-100 DJs and prepared to pay the ticket price, then Swedish KAAZE (Dance/Electronic, Russian Dance) is visting Sound Club Friday 12th April – you might get wet on you way to the club, it's the night before Songkran – I found a link to Youtube for one of latest releases HERE, and a link to his live performance last September at Ravolution Festival in Vietnam HERE. His Instagram-profile is HERE.
  19. Yes, you need to register and then login. Your TIN (registered Tax Identification Number) is your username, password you choose yourself.
  20. Buy a cheap budget flight ticket that you can afford to throw away; for example the short distance from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur, it's very cheap on certain week days. Another possibility might be "Onward Ticket", which is a reservation system for next to nothing in cost, but I have not reference if it's accepted; perhaps some other forum members have experience.
  21. You shall make the tax return form online, not download...
