Thanks to everyone for the responses and information. Very helpful.

Thanks. What you say is helpful. I am listening Being from US, Thailand has a no double tax agreement. All my retirement income will be taxed in the US. I just have to figure out if Thai tax rate to understand if it is higher than what I pay US. There are still some shoes to drop in Thailand about all of this and I do not understand what percentage tax is Thailand going to charge and wait to find out my tax bracket as I am newly retired.

Thanks for the information.

My favorite kind of response Clear, simple and helpful. I gotta learn to use fewer words when I comment 555
