My accountant puts in a tax return for me every year so I don't get fined. There is nothing much on it and he doesn't charge me much. I don't stay in Australia more than half the year but resident or not a resident I have never heard anything from the tax office while I have been living here.

Thanks to champers and Henryford.
I checked out the places you mentioned and it was a good change from the mass produced factory beers. The food in these places was good as well.
That would be a death sentence for a guy his age in a Thailand prison, but sometimes it's better to take the pain and be the master of your own destiny than to be extorted.
If you stick to that winning formula, you will have a good and peaceful and long time in Thailand, while other people are in financial and emotional trouble and in despair.
