Two questions that I haven't found an answer to yet: 1. I am retired early and married in Thailand. My mother who does not live in Thailand pays for our children's education. Until now she had sent the money to my Thai account and I then transferred it to the schools. I would have to pay taxes on this money from now on, right? Are these school fees also subject to tax law if my mother transfers the money directly to the school using an international bank transfer? 2. How is inherited money treated when I send it to Thailand?

Back in my home country for 2 weeks now, after 5 years absence. No one is talking about Covid here anymore, all restrictions have been lifted. In July we're going back to Thailand. I hope by then the Thais will have understood that Covid is over. I'm afraid it will take a little longer though ????

I am in Pattaya for 3 days now and I was in soi buakhao too. It's true there were a lot of people but still all the bars were shut at 11pm and the place looked like a ghost town after 2am. Soi 7 and 8 are dead all night long. 80% of the places shut down. The ones that are open are mostly deserted. In soi 6 maybe 60% of the bars are open but almost no customers. Pattaya is dead. So, even if one takes the risk and goes through all the requirments to travel to thailand, where would he go if he likes the night life? I was also in BKK on last Saturday. It's dead after 11pm too.

I already know of more than 20 people who either cancelled their holidays in Thailand and/or booked a trip to another country - only in February and March.

...eeeehm - I think it is quite obvious Thailand's daily infections already crossed the 100'000 by now! It's ok though. Just skip that test&go scam on the 5th day after arrival please and everything will be ok.

In my home country, travel agencies have been warning against flying to Thailand since the new Test&Go regulation. Alternatives are offered to customers everywhere. I know of well over 10 people who actually wanted to travel to Thailand but have now changed their plans.

Meanwhile, in Switzerland last weekend...

Haven't been to a restaurant since March and won't go - as long as I can't have a glass of wine with dinner...????
