Exactly, that’s why I’m looking for a vehicle inspector.

I’m not going to spend a year on this project; I mean, I’m going to allocate about 5,000 to 6,000 baht and look at two or three cars. That’s it. I’m not… I’m not very demanding in this regard. I usually make decisions quickly.

But it must be inspected.

“Of course, smart people buy what they need, not what others say they should buy.”

“Perfect, then you’re successful and I’m functional. Each in their own way.”

“Great, thanks for the advice. I’m looking for a car that serves its purpose, not one that meets your expectations.”

I’m sure you wouldn’t say that to my face, you bold keyboard arrogant.

Let me make it clear, because I prefer to avoid irrelevant comments. The car is for going back and forth from my house to my son's school. I already have a car for long trips across the country. So, why would I have to spend a fortune? Yes, that’s for those who think I’m looking for junk. Well, for you it might be junk too. For me, it’s a functional car. That’s what I’m looking for.

Chris Moroni Well, then I can transfer funds from Wise without needing to obtain a SWIFT code.

I have already given enough reasons to think that it is not a dowry because my wife is not into those stories from the past. Point two, she has her own money, she can support herself. Point three, she has no family, they've all died. Let's see if there's no one else thinking that it's a dowry and Thai traditions from the past. What happens is that there are always jokers who make the typical comment to act like they know Thailand. I don’t know what circles they hang out in, but my environment and my situation are completely different.

@Mark ********

You talk too much. You have a storm in your head. The unlucky ones are you, not me.

@Joe ****

I pay for my son’s school and upkeep, and my wife pays for everything else. So, relax, guys, because you’re always thinking negatively. I’m not saying this about you, I’m saying it about others.

@Mark ********

My wife has never asked me for money in eight years. Never. She has her own money. Okay? Man, got it?

The sale of a property in Spain generates a capital gain sourced in Spain.

According to the Spain–Thailand Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement:

Gains from the sale of immovable property are taxed in the country where the property is located, in this case, Spain.

Thailand cannot tax that same gain again, even if the money is transferred to a Thai account.

Therefore, the funds from the sale of the property are protected from double taxation.

The only thing the Thai bank might request is documentation proving the source of the money, but that is not a tax—just a banking and anti-money-laundering control.
