Agree, Swissie is well over the top stating 60+, your 40+ is much more realistic.

As far as I know the Thai police/immigration have no access to government databases in our home countries. So there can be no increase scrutiny. Maybe they could start by stopping Thai immigration corruption and VISA agencies bribing them.

I don't think the increasing paperwork (in all countries) is anything but increasing government control of the people. There's nothing any of us can do to stop it. Anyway the increased screening of foreigners ..... what are they going to do ........ scowl more at us ...... shout 'you come too often'. There's no way they can increase scrutiny, apart from stopping all foreigners entering the country.

I'll just put you on ignore!

Anutin owns the government and the cannabis industry so yes, they sure do care!

And buyer should have replied .......... then no sale!

Make an all day snack buffet for all day bar opening. x10

Girls in the loy krow area sre preparing themselves for 10 days of water chucking.

But unless you foolishly keep your assets in Thailand they can't get a dime.

Passenger, season 1 complete already out,something unnatural happening in the English countryside? Gentleman from Moscow, period drama set in the Russian revolution, looks interesting. Just downloading American Rust season 2.

Renegade Nell entire season from Disney out now. I never knew that in 1705 a quarter of the rural English population (rich or poor) was black. Not to mention plenty of Asians mixed in. I really hate this rewriting of history!

Never understand the desperate rush for a foreigner to seek a divorce. Being married harms her future plans far more than it harms any foreigner. Let her sweat!

Land in her village is probably worthless as well!

You'll need to visit a branch in a shopping mall if you want to do this before Monday! Last time I lost my BKB card it was a Friday night, so I had to go to a shopping mall branch on Saturday morning, it wasn't my 'home' branch but they cancelled my old card and handed over a new one straight away. Don't forget your passport, they won't do anything without your passport.

Any branch will give you access to your funds. The bank book is all that counts. Get them to enable the BKB banking app on your phone, then you can get money from ATMs without a card, and use QR codes to pay for things. They'll probably sell you a new card as well.

Well my next extension is October, before this year's tax collecting, so I'm good until at least October 2025. After that if no extension, I'll just abandon my mortgage, wife and kids, moving to Cambodia or PI. As an old guy, I may well be dead before then, so no real worries.

The issue about any law is will 'they' enforce it, are 'they' even barely competent and what is the probability of being caught and punished for breaking it. Which in Thailand is close to ZERO!

Agree, it's all nonsense, there's no way the Thai tax department could ever find out your foreign income or tax it. If anyone asks me, I have 400kbht in the bank (as required by immigration) and no income, I live off my Thai wife.

I think all children should be required to support their parents for as long as their parents supported them.

Tell her you're broke.

My parents forgot to tell me never trust a woman who has been in your bed. Finding that out myself cost me a bloody fortune!

But the booze is unbelievably cheap .....................

I'm nearly 70, how much longer should I take to choose a 20yo? As for foreigners, don't think I've ever met one in Thailand that had higher social status than a Thai hooker. Postman, plumber, house painter, carpet layer, miner, cruise ship waiter, etc.

In your ignore menu, you can stop people sending pms. Or alternatively report offensive pms to a mod.
