Like other members kindly advised earlier. Indeed it is early days yet & south east Asia is comprised of other option's than just Thailand. I suppose in the event the tax system in Thailand evolve to not suiting my needs at a later date i will simply move on

Thank you for that input Will. Should it transpire that the Thai system attempt's to impose further tax. Such as on What net etc i already have official Aus tax settlement clearance on. I will either leave or to a significant extent cease supporting banks & or stock holdings all together.

@Casey *****

Thank's kindly to all whom have offered advice from Thailand on this matter.

I am very likely to at least give Thailand retirement living a try. Should it later transpire that the tax system evolves to taking liberties however . Namely regarding any returns i have already hard earned the right to prior to retirement.

Then in that case i will simply move on & not oblige supporting that.
