@Andrew *******

holy crap you are a dumbass. Is English your first language?

I think everyone realizes the weather apps are completely dysfunctional. I guess there is no way of saying 15 mins of rain. I live on Samui and here is what ‘rain’ means in the weather app right now. It’s just to make people who don’t live here feel better about their lives. 😂 🤷‍♂️

I’m very familiar with Kelowna scorch summers, the lake is great, the traffic is shit, the homeless and addicts are a mess, and you are gonna eat some smoke.’ When you say you have moved around your entire life. I’m similar but older lol, and guessing you don’t mean 75 countries and almost 25 years out of Canada for work and travel? If you love sunny, hot summers, Mexico is pretty great. We also have a place there as I truly chase the sun.

Whoever you are getting weather advice from is hilarious. Samui rainy season for instance starts in November. There hasn’t been 4 hours of total rain here in the last 3 months. At worst, you get a 30 minute late afternoon shower. Wet season in the gulf is nothing similar to monsoon on the Andaman and in the north.

Lots of Canadians on here reporting very good success with DTV. Just make sure all your paperwork is airtight and enjoy!!

@Sam ****

quite shitty? You mean hot and sunny? It's never shitty in Thailand. In Canada, it's shitty most of the year (i'm a bc guy but also lived AB, ON, Que and NS) Rainy season affects parts of the country at different times in Thailand. There is always beautiful weather. You will get a LOT more warm and sunshine in Thailand than you will in the valley. Although north of thailand also gets a smokey season. There is no lack of sunshine year round in thailand. At no time in Canada is it ever nicer than it is in Thailand. I have been chasing sunshine globally for 12 years now. And you couldn't pay me to spend a month in Canada. For your visa stuff, the DTV gives you 5 years of in and out as much as you like. If you can get it, it definitely opens up doors for you. Good luck!

If you survive Canada, Thailand is a dramatic improvement. Why go back to lousy summers, smoke and mosquito season?

DTV is very easy to get overall, if you have to the $15k and proof of your work as remote freelancer, it allows you to come and go as you please for 5 years. Definitely apply. Unless you are actually married, with certificate, your gf needs to do her own application.

If not, As a Canadian, you can indeed enter and get 60 days free visa exempt and then extend for 30 days more for 1900 baht here. Then you can border bounce, return for a new 60 and buy another 30. Et voila, your 6 months of fun is done

@Pete ******

🤣🤣Can you please point me in the direction of your own 'evidence, facts and supporting data'? Sometimes people have no self awareness whatsoever. FACT you are not that bright a fella. But i doubt that's a secret even to you. Again -refer to your national tax treaty with Thailand. I know precisely what mine says. And if you don't have one, all remittances into thailand are taxable.

@Pete ******

you are the one banking on it lol. Prove it yourself, and look it up. And then apply a little critical thinking in conjunction with the reading. The critical document is the tax treaty with your nation. Ur welcome

@Pete ******

lol. You stating ‘your statement is just not credible’ makes me laugh. But maybe try that with the revenue dept.

Savings are not taxable for Thais. For foreigners who remit their savings into Thailand, it’s a very different story. And refer to the tax treaty with your nation for further clarity. This is basic stuff. Anyone who has filed international tax returns will understand. Good luck

@Pete ******

all taxable if remitted into Thailand.

@Allan *****

you think wrong

@Pete ******

what would you perceive to be the difference. What monies do you think wouldn’t be assessable?
