Re: Big increase in air fares

Slightly off topic but looking for advice; Will arrive into Swampy at 7pm so likely 8pm by time have collected bags and want to hear to Udon Thani. What would you do to get up to Udon as hassle free as possible? I'm assuming no flights to Udon at that time?, so some thought are; 1. Get a Driver to ...

Re: AIr COnditioning

We are about to change the A/C in master bedroom. While it still works it is undersized and each summer seems to struggle a bit more to keep the room cool (or we struggle a bit more to feel cool as we get another year older!) Anyway will probably start with Home Pro and look at Samsung as we have a...

Re: Bank Account(s)

I PM'd Woody, who came back with a very informative response. He said he had not looked at my OP - I assume because it didn't, on the face of it, relate to visa issues. If he is happy for me to do so, either he, or I, can repost his response here. You are welcome to repost my reply to you in full, ...

Re: Do you smoke marijuana?

In my younger years I was a heavy pot smoker and user of other much stronger drugs, but in August of 1988 the Lord Jesus rescued me and saved me from my addictions. In these latter years of chronic body pain and inability to sleep well at nights, I am tempted to experiment with the pot to relieve t...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Yes, well said..my country has a Dual Tax Agreement, so I got a copy, and even though I know nothing of tax, it outlined the situation in that regard, and I think I stated before, it comes down to ' words ' used in the Agreement..such as resident, income, etc etc...if you have a DTA go read it. ava...

Re: Taxes on money transferred to Thailand

Maybe not news to all, but, the first I heard if it was just a couple of days ago and it was relayed to me in the way I have typed it above. However, I'm grateful for your input, thank you, I'm a little more at ease than I was this morning :) Please pass on the real situation to those spreading eit...

Re: Taxes on money transferred to Thailand

Has anyone heard about the Thai government's intention to tax all money transferred here by foreigners by 15%? This can/will be collected in hindsight "in two or three years time"... I'm interested to hear people's interpretation of this new law This seems VERY harsh but perhaps inevitable. This is...

Re: Big increase in air fares

If you've done the Amari stopover before, then that should work ok. That hotel is super convenient with only a 10-15 minute walk to your early morning flight check-in for UTH. Getting a metered taxi from Suvarnabhumi should be a breeze. You probably qualify for the free shuttle bus service to DMK, ...

Re: Big increase in air fares

The BA "carrier imposed surcharge" is almost the same as KLM's "carrier-imposed international surcharge". Unless I am missing something BA = 16,130 BAHT KLM = 8,100 BAHT Have I missed something? Isn’t it virtually double / half? I don’t question the price fixing or other nefarious acts, they are pr...

Re: Big increase in air fares

It's also strange that a 750 baht "Passenger Service Charge (Domestic)-Thailand" is being levied on an international flight. Forcomparson, I plugged in the same route/dates using KLM and the fare breakdown came out like this. It looks as if the 730 Passenger Service Charge -Thailand is exactly the ...

Re: Big increase in air fares

I got my AirAsia app working and the following o/w fares from Don Muang to Udon Thani on Tuesday next week. Nothing near 5000 baht. But still a 50% jump! My post was with reference to another member being quoted 5000 baht for a o/w to UTH for next week. The closest I have found close to that is the...

Seems you must have a three month visa no matter what you do.

Re: Bank Account Opening

It would be great to have a Bank Account in Thailand. FWIW Bangkok bank rules do not stop you getting an account. However the place where people have had the most success without a Thai influential person assisting is the head office in Bangkok. Personally I have opened several accounts with only a...

On March 1st you wrote, "There is a big difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Quite a few are recommending and suggesting ways for tax evasion, I don’t and won’t."
