Oh wow, I didn't think about that. If they require 500K baht in a Thai bank and then suddenly tax it at 20% if you stay longer than 180 days per year then the DTV becomes a lot more expensive 😬

@Gabriel *******

Yup, looks like you're right. At present, it only applies to money repatriated to Thailand. So is paying for everything with a foreign credit card the only way around this new system?

@Gabriel *******

Not just funds brought into the country. My understanding is that they want foreigners to pay tax on all money earned abroad even if they keep it in a foreign bank account. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@Gabriel *******

Exactly. And they're targeting digital nomads, remote workers, and freelancers for the first time ever. This used to be a legal gray area which wasn't openly addressed by the government. Seems like they're trying to lure as many people as possible into the tax system. DTV holders might suddenly be asked to pay 20% tax on their earnings if they want to stay in Thailand for longer than 180 days in a calendar year.

@Greg ********

Yes it was that clinic.

@Selena *******

This one. It cost 1100 baht I think. Red liquid.

I'm curious if this is a common issue people are currently experiencing which might be due to pollution or a fungus/bacteria outbreak of some kind, or if people have experienced the same thing before in Bangkok or elsewhere and know what's causing it or how to treat it properly. I usually get nowhere with doctors in Thailand. They'll likely prescribe 2 creams and 3 oral medications and ask me to come back in a month to see if the symptoms have improved...

@Steve ******

"And Everything Else" - Surely there's some doctors here 😁

@Lynnette ******

Exactly. I've never heard of anyone getting injections to treat a concussion, especially trigger point injections...

@Keith *****

I got them when I renewed my original 2-year Thai licenses which I got in Pattaya 7 years ago. The process there is much easier than in Bangkok.
