Ken ******
and better live in the southern part of thailand if you care about air quality

better live away from high risk flood areas, and too near BTS as it maybe quite noisy, and live in high floors and away from highways to avoid noise and air pollution, less than one month airbnb is illegal

you probably know all the

pros including cheaper

housing, friendly people,

and culture. Air quality,

floods, public road safety

and pavement conditions

need improvement (just

look up internet for details).

Air quality can be checked

real time downloading

some apps. For long

stayers, there are some

reporting requirements

such as 90days report on

residence, which is not very

convenient. Starting this

year, new tax on remitted

income earned abroad.

some one interpret as below:

those people

from countries which have

a double tax agreement

with Thailand could still need to pay new

tax in Thailand,

double tax means that you

will receive tax credit for

taxes paid outside of

Thailand. So, if you are

assed as having to pay

usd200 in USA and usd300

in Thailand, In Thailand you

would pay 300-200=100

dollars in Thailand.

anyway the risk is that one still likely to fill a tax report form with income and asset and let authority decide which is taxable and which be exempt. Filling the form could be a tedious process, depending on how it is designed, and whether there is english translation, or chinese? if not, hopefully no.need to seek professional help. And how can one prove whether the remitted income already taxed in other jurisdiction?(for example you have multiple income sources, and some sources already taxed but some exempted due to different tax law in another country )

does double tax exemption imply blanket tax exemption without need for exemption on an item by item basis (income source item/category) or need comparison of individual category, eg investment income, rental collected or simply pensions
