@Jim *******

I made no prophecies at all, again you are completely ignoring what I actually said. Oh Australian, that explains it.

@Jim *******

what exactly is it you think i believe? You should re-read this thread. It feels like you're arguing with someone else from some other thread instead of actually reading and considering what I've said in this one. This is what you're overlooking, the actual content of my posts

@Jim *******

no one has been duped Jim, and you have absolutely been overlooking what I have been saying and assuming I am saying things I am not.

@Jim *******

no one said your savings would be taxed. What I said was that no one knows exactly how things are going to change starting next year which is quite obviously true. Furthermore if they do begin to tax expats bringing income into Thailand it may be up to you to prove that your deposits are savings and not income which was what I just said to you and you seem to have overlooked

@Jim *******

No one said anything about savings, that is you introducing this to the conversation. Not only that, if they decide to tax income coming in from expats then it will be up to you to prove it was savings and not income.

@Jim *******

perhaps you are, but opinions vary including the opinions of some Thai accountants and lawyers. The truth is no one knows for sure until next year which was the point of my original post.

@Jim *******

maybe they will maybe they wont, but we won't know for sure until next year, which is what I said originally. If you are absolutely convinced that nothing will change for any expat bringing money into Thailand then you are likely incorrect.

@Alex *******

I gave you no attitude at all sir until after you said "If you bring money into Thailand it wont be taxed shaking my head" which is likely incorrect and is you starting off with a "scrappy attitude". Secondly I gave no advice. Third I am not interested in a discussion of whether this is good or bad that was not the point of my original comment, which was not directed to you. And finally we will not know exactly how this will be enforced and how it will play out until at least January 2025 which was also what I mentioned in my original comment.

@Alex *******

actually if you have income, it was already taxed, and the Thai tax is higher you still owe the difference. So maybe you don't know as much as you think?

The name calling is not necessary Alex. Perhaps you're feeling insecure?

@Alex *******

well there are a lot of Thai tax accountants and lawyers who disagree with you, but I'm sure you know better than them. SMH
