The Thai Revenue is actively seeking to expand their net which is probably what is being referred to. Do you know a lot of Thai people with an income of over 25,000Thb/month? Up to that amount Thai Nationals are exempt of Taxes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the tax tables. https://sherrings.com/personal-tax-deductions-allowances-thailand.html https://www.rd.go.th/publish/6045.0.html Edited June 24, 2020 by Trillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyk Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It is a moving target for sure, depending what country you are from. Colombia has listed Sept. as the first international flights. But, with the second wave here in the US who know's when we will be able to travel again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin1950 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 To garyk: Second wave? It still is the first wave. Opened up to soon and people still not physical distancing and wearing face masks. You wanna see another spike up, wait 2 weeks after the July 4th celebration all over the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly this explains why, in Pattaya, I keep seeing extremely pale skinned people who do not look as though they have been here for over 3 months. Not very many but I do keep seeing them. albinos?

Opened up to soon and people still not physical distancing and wearing face masks. You wanna see another spike up, wait 2 weeks after the July 4th celebration all over the US. It is already blowing up again in some areas of the US due to the failure of people to social distance, go to bars and not wear masks. The State of Oregon has made it mandatory for masks. But I also just read that two arrivals to Hong Kong from the Philippines were allowed to fly on Cathay and they were positive for Covid. One tested positive the day before the flight and the other took medication to reduce the fever she had. Go figure. It will be very interesting for travel from here on out. Put everyone in a Tyvex suit with mask and face shield and gloves, just not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not to setup their home in Thailand and move to a different country where they can get back into then next time there's a similar situation via repatriation flights. Pure speculation. We don't know for sure about 'guys' outside and each ones situation, do we. If any are genuinely stuck, they had plenty of time to come back when it was obvious that the borders were going to be closed at some point, so why didn't they?? And please don't list a load of weak excuses, if they were that worried they would have come back, end of story. You hit the nail on the head. Plenty of time for those guys who really cared to return to their families. Always some big mouth know-it-all on here... Who can look back in time and say “oh you should have “ but really has no clew of what each affected person situation was or is; all he’s really good at is sitting behind a keyboard and and saying how smart he thinks he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumpie Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 2 hours ago, acenase said: You know when the immigration takes your passport and scan it, the computer shows exactly where you've been Of course they do. They also know if you've been a troublemaker in a country and have been kicked out, have a criminal record, and many other things. They check this along with your declaration card. More people get refused entry to countries than people tend to want to think. Airline agents aren't responsible if you cannot meet entry qualifications such as being a criminal (having a criminal record), etc. If they haven't checked that you have a flight out, as an example in Thailand, or don't meet the requirements such as staying longer than your tourist visa will allow then the airline is responsible. After that, it's up to immigration to toss you in detention while you work out the lovely details of your imminent departure. Again, all noted on your passport.

The various Immigration forces around the world do not have bilateral information sharing agreement. Any request to share information comes from Interpol through a formal request. Every arrival and departure to and from Thailand through the Airports is logged in an Immigration Database, even if we use a different passport - key information is linked to our ‘profile’. Immigration can see our travel history in and out of Thailand for the past 10 years (approximate). Land boarders are not yet on this system (I’m not sure if this has changed recently). Immigration officials have no digital record of our travel to and from countries outside of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
