@Karl ********

People are reacting as they are because things are done differently in Thailand. No, most houses don’t have central air. People cool the rooms they’re actually using. They don’t cool empty rooms.

@Andreas ********

I moved my 800K to Thailand to avoid the drama. However, I guarantee you that if I had left my money in the States, the money I would have earned through investments would have far exceeded the plane ticket you’re talking about. The folks who pay 30K to an agent do so once. After that, it’s ~5K and, again, I’m sure they can do far better with their investments. I would hope folks are not putting those sums of money into savings accounts earning 1% interest (in the States).

@Dan *******

I did, but this was months ago. I'm all set now, thanks.

@John *********

I meant my tax documents from home, but that too :-)

@John *********

hmmm…good point. I just don’t want to submit tax documentation. That might work. Thanks.

@John *********

hence the complexity. How does one show if X money is savings vs. Y money being gains when people have investments and savings?

@Keith ******

and she was moving to Hua Hin…definitely enough unless she only eats western food.

@Brian ******

@Vincent *******

I suppose you “can”, assuming you know how, but it’s not legal.

@Vincent *******
