Love the Thai people 's festive approach to holidays, festivals and any celebratory event. It's all about having a good time. Always enjoy your videos and narrative style. Continued good health and safe travels!
How wonderful. It's a few miles from the French beaches. It's so nice the sacrifices made in the west are recognised in the east....Thank god for Adams apples.
I have a Calif. King bed with this exception ,I add a 4 inch memory foam. It's high off the floor like your . Lon needs a ladder to get into bed. Good luck. Thanks for the video Lucas.
Hey Lucas Lan, Nice to see your place is coming on nicely washing machine going lovely also great to see the remembrance in place duty to done rightly so can’t believe how cheap the buffet was with drink great deal parade they do well always ! Thank you great Vid again Lucas tax no interest there hehe Cheers Chris
On the tax issue- if Thailand wants to tax my income, I want the same benefits and product pricing as a Thai person. Will that happen? Also, the world wide income proposal will likely cause an exodus of higher earning retiree expats. Lower income retirees will likely not be impacted too much, other than the cost of complying g with the reporting requirements.
Good luck with getting all the benefits of a Thai. I’m already making sure I don’t spend 180 days or more in Thailand even though I have retirement extension here.
Thanks for the video! The D Day Celebration was nice and the food looked really good. The Pride parade looked like a fun time. I can't handle that many people anymore, so I skip that kind of thing. I think i have entered my old curmudgeon era way too early:) Glad the house/move is coming along!!
My concern is that the UK and US are both subject to the double taxation treaty which states that home income cannot be taxed again in thailand as it wasnt earned in Thailand
You're not being taxed twice. Thailand has a higher tax bracket in some cases, so if you're taxable income in the US Is 33%, in Thailand that same amount of income is taxed at 38%. As a tax resident over 180 days, you would then be responsible to pay the additional 5% difference to Thailand. This is something they talked about over 6 months ago, yet people don't want to see it. You're not being taxed twice, you'll just be paying an additional amount to Thailand depending on your tax bracket. It won't effect everyone.
@nickmaidment I've been really reading up on this, but it's still a bit muddled up, which is why even the tax accountants are still somewhat confused. Should everything pass through Thailand legislation, and they keep as its proposed, do you really think the beer swigging expats are going to follow the requirements? No chance...and they're going to have a real eye opener when they think they can avoid opening up a thai bank account and avoid it. Come time to renew their visas, they'll be denied and kicked out of the country or they'll overstay trying to avoid immigration and get arrested and deported. It's going to be real shit show for the next few years if Thailand sticks completely to their plan. Also, I hear over and over that there's no way they can know what people have in their bank accounts abroad. These guys never heard of the bank secrecy law to avoid money laundering where you have they worldwide access to your accounts. There's going to be a lot of deportations.
The United States Thailand tax treaty states that the United States retain the rights and only rights to tax any government retirement social security disability an or government payments. However, non-government private pensions are subject to taxation in Thailand. If you are a resident of Thailand and receive a private pension payment or lump sum 401K IRA those pensions are not subject to taxation in the United States. If you have a private pension and you have paid taxes for the last few years of United States you may qualify to get those tax funds returned.
@KenBrownies Agreed 👍, Now, correct me if I'm wrong. All foreigners residing in Thailand more than 180 days will need a tax identification number. I believe that will be issued by your thai bank account via or through the Thailand department of revenue. As such, you will be required to complete a tax form for Thailand, even if you owe no money to Thailand.
Many countries have limited but tax free savings interest programs that are not a pension but are getting very much more important for early retirees. This would devastate those planning on being neutrally independent without working.
I think the unfortunate thing about these tax changes is that Thailand has encouraged seniors to retire to the Kingdom and spend their latter years here. It is now grossly unfair that the retirement rules - relating to taxation- are changed for retirees who have already spent many years living and spending retirement money here. It is likely that some retirees would not have come to Thailand if they had for-seen or been forewarned of these possible changes in this country's tax law. I am now looking at moving to Phillppines !
Thanks for sharing the information about taxes. It sounds pretty obvious, plus if you are taxed somewhere else that is considered, pretty normal stuff!?! Thanks again!
It was very ironical ceremony. Thailand before D Day had already declared war against the US and the UK. The Thai Ambassador presented a declaration of war to the UK government which was accepted. The Thai Ambassador in Washington presented a declaration of war to the US government on 25 January 1942 and was told to put it away by US Secretary of State. The US already knew about the declaration of war, as the US had broken the Japanese and Thai codes,
Thailand was with the axis powers. Interesting to see a D day celebration in Thailand. I know he is a tax expert but I was told by the Thailand government at the BoI office that LTR visas were excluded from the proposed taxation. Thailand will die in a day if they think that they can go to global income tax. Malaysia does not tax global income so people may look to the sarawak mm2h visa. Thailand seems to enjoy this kind of thing and it only makes them a less stable retirement location. Many other outstanding countries to retire to if thailand goes forward and changes things first retirees. Thanks for the video and enjoy your new home.
Listen at mark 12:50 he clearly says this is not geared toward expats Why the hell did he bring this tax issue up We all are mostly retirees on retirement visas We do not have ids to this country We are only guest with 90 day reports. We can leave at anytime or they could kick us out Our money is from our own country we all have payed our taxes You ever want to double tax all of us retirees then the government of thailand is going to have to give us the same benefits as the Thai people. I will speak only for me Try to tax my money and I’m going and so it’s all my money sitting in the bank making me not a damn bit of interest.
Wait and see about the tax! I remember when VAT was first introduced in Thailand back in early 90th, the revenue department added VAT on the monthly condo charge we payed for the upkeep of our condo. It took us 2-4 months to get rid of it explaining there is no Value Added ( in a very diplomatic way ) Great reporting on the 80 th anniversary, we shall never forget!
been here for ages and still don't get it . Are you saying that the money I transfer from my 'home' country will be taxed ? That is tantamount to taxing an incoming tourist on their spending money . So a deterrent on big holiday spenders . My expenditures these past two decades has changed and saved the lives of countless 'family' members . What more do they want ?
I think you missed the part about "if you are already paying taxes". you won't be taxed a second time. I agree though, changes always raise the red flags!
Ok, I need more info on these ants and cooking with their eggs. I know Thais eat bugs (crickets, scorpions etc...) but I have never heard about cooking ant eggs. Please provide some info on how they are cooked and what they cook with and what dishes are made from them. How does it taste? Don't those ants bite?
There is a ''FOOD CHANNE '''& Sonny had an Egg Omelet with Red Ants ... He seem to like it ...Great [ PROPOST ] Tax Info.. Another Great VIDO & Info Thanks ...
How strange when what I learned at the Anglo Thai Japanese centre in thailand was that thailand declared war against the UK to ally themselves to the Japanese so they could say they hadn’t been invaded by a foreign power as technically they were on the same side? Short memories!
Great stuff Loucas..... What do you think about my prime minister [Sunak]leaving the D Day commemorations well early????? I despise the man. A NON Patriot to the UK. Very sad.
You’ll have to fill in a Thai tax return. If the tax on your income in Thailand is greater than the tax you have already payed on your income in your home country, you’ll be liable to pay the difference.
Whilst this is not a tax return platform, I have a particular interest here because I regularly send already taxed funds to my wife in Thailand who is Thai for the purchase of a house, I have no plans to live in Thailand because I can't get health insurance and would like to know when things get clearer how this would affect my transfers. So look forward to a video from you, from that gentleman, to explain.
I'll probably take some heat for this but.......I don't know why the Thais care about D-Day. They sided with Japan during WW2 as I recall. Remember the Bridge on the River Kwai?
People can change their view over the decades. I mean... we're all friends with Germany and Japan now. That clearly wasn't the case in 1944, but, things change.
Please don’t tell anyone about the tax nonsense The Thai embassy already has said if your on a retirement visa there is no tax that will be obligated as you are retired and your money comes from your home country and you cannot work on a retirement visa
We are discussing not the previously announced the reinterpretation of an existing law we're talking about a proposed new tax laws announced by the revenue department.
Total nonsense. Nothing to do with the Thai Embassy. All your income will be assessable for tax if you are tax resident in Thailand. Double taxation agreements may partially help but you’ll still be liable to pay the difference if Thai tax on your income is higher than your home country.
and while your sitting around waiting for the tax office here to sort themselves out..........its too late......end of June will come and go, and there will be no escape
Great D-Day dinner deal, ant egg farm, Mr. Muscle removals man, parade, band bus and more. Marvellous Sunday afternoon viewing +1 👍. Just been to vote 🇨🇵🇪🇺☮️❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️. "Sex work is Work". "When you see some of the guys in Pattaya, it certainly is" says Mrs. R. 😂🎉 (Never going to be in Thailand long enough to be resident and taxable 😊.)
Even more so than a thai bank account....your visa. You won't get it renewed and you'll be kicked out of Thailand for failing yo report your income. ..its very simple.
Interesting that Thailand had a celebration remembering those lost on D-Day, when historically Thailand was at war with Japan for about one day when the Japanese invaded Prachuap Khiri Khan on Dec 7th1941 as a means of crossing the isthmus to thwart the English army abandoning Burma. And following this were basically a Japanese supported puppet government until its demise in 1944. However given the number of expats in Pattaya some form of remembrance is justified at least for photo ops...if nothing else.
Canadians were there landing on the Beaches at Normandy as well WE have ceremonies here today too. I am glad the move is going well. I see The Pride festivities are going strong that is a good thing. Thanks for the new Tax info 👍🏻
@@rickbold9337 You won't get double taxed but you.may need to pay the difference in Thailand that has a higher tax bracket than the US. For me, that would an additional 6%. That's the current plan in place, which will most likely be revised. I've read this new tax law over and over again....its also murky in some areas. It may have no effect on you depending on your income but for me it certainly does....at this time.
Lest we forget the men & women who liberated France on D-Day. Also Don't forget the Russians who lost 26 million dead, fought 80% of the Nazi armed forces on the eastern front, inflicted 80% of all Nazi casualties suffered in ww2 & took Berlin.
Be sure to consult with us before you leave. Will you may be able to advise you on some things you want to do before you leave the US. For one if you live in California or New York you need to officially let them know that you will no longer be a resident in California or New York to avoid paying the state tax.
I calculated my tax in case I would have to pay tax here...there are quite few potential write off posibilties..for Instanzen you are married and your wife is not working..my pension is around 24000 € ..my tax would be 60000 baht per year..wait and see what will happen..curious what the immigration will tell me
The British already tax our pension if thiland was to tax it again I think they will loss out I know I will 900pounds I would give half it to my thia wife &with me living in the country thiland is going to get it anywhere with prices going up people will look for a better deal there’s to thins will happen in life u will pay tax &die😊
Not helpful discussing tax with so called experts who know as much as we do about the changes, i.e. nothng. In Thailand nothing happens 'very quickly. Just be patient folks.
Well we have a pretty good idea of the reinterpretation of the taxes and how to advise on that however today we were discussing the excitement after learning that the revenue department will try to legislate new taxes.
As an American veteran yourself, you couldn't have kept the D-day remembrance and the rainbow parade in separate videos? I'd have watched both, as I watch all your videos, but dude... you could have made a better call on this one. With that being said, that was interesting tax info... Vietnam hmmm
@@REALPERSON-mv9mpThis. You don't have to agree, and you don't have to like it. But if you don't agree that everyone has the right to live as they wish, you're a god damn hypocrite. I actually think mixing the two events together is actually a good representation of what was being fought for in the first place.
Seriously though, I'm not looking to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth (I can't resist the puns😂) but infantry - most of the guys that stormed that beach I'm assuming - or whatever branch of combat arms they were, would not accept batting for the other team, and would enforce that with deadly consequences (if they knew, there was a pole smoker or two in while I was on my tours but they definitely kept it on the downlow) . I'm not saying it's right (it isn't, live and let live) but that's the way it is and was. Acknowledging their sacrifices without intruding with an issue that would have disgusted the vast majority of them seems reasonable enough. Now if it was "D-day, the heterosexual storming of...", I could see the impetus for adding something more.
"Pole smoker" was actually considered a polite description in the late Reagan early Bush years as far as military terminology goes. Like calling a straight guy a rug muncher though I think that last has shifted.
Thanks for covering our D-Day event. Great video
Thanks everyone for there service.. Thanks ,Loocus

No tax on street food and girls in the bar etc..
You don’t get double taxes. Either Britain or Thailand get the one time tax money. Nothing new here
@@rickbold9337 If they work it like Spain, both will want to tax you, UK when it leaves and Spain when it arrives
Not helpful discussing tax with so called experts who know as much as we do about the changes, i.e. nothng. In Thailand nothing happens 'very quickly. Just be patient folks.
Well we have a pretty good idea of the reinterpretation of the taxes and how to advise on that however today we were discussing the excitement after learning that the revenue department will try to legislate new taxes.
You do realize what the “pride” parade is right?
I don't mind paying less IRS tax if I pay it somewhere else. I would pay no taxes in the States if I could while not living in the USA.
Pack of weirdos dancing.
Looks like you'd fit right in.
😂@@mapleleafdavid
As an American veteran yourself, you couldn't have kept the D-day remembrance and the rainbow parade in separate videos? I'd have watched both, as I watch all your videos, but dude... you could have made a better call on this one. With that being said, that was interesting tax info... Vietnam hmmm
@@REALPERSON-mv9mpThis. You don't have to agree, and you don't have to like it. But if you don't agree that everyone has the right to live as they wish, you're a god damn hypocrite. I actually think mixing the two events together is actually a good representation of what was being fought for in the first place.
@REALPERSON-mv9mp No, I was replying to you. I was agreeing with you, and backing up your statement.
Triggered and butt hurt (pun intended)
Seriously though, I'm not looking to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth (I can't resist the puns😂) but infantry - most of the guys that stormed that beach I'm assuming - or whatever branch of combat arms they were, would not accept batting for the other team, and would enforce that with deadly consequences (if they knew, there was a pole smoker or two in while I was on my tours but they definitely kept it on the downlow) . I'm not saying it's right (it isn't, live and let live) but that's the way it is and was. Acknowledging their sacrifices without intruding with an issue that would have disgusted the vast majority of them seems reasonable enough. Now if it was "D-day, the heterosexual storming of...", I could see the impetus for adding something more.
"Pole smoker" was actually considered a polite description in the late Reagan early Bush years as far as military terminology goes. Like calling a straight guy a rug muncher though I think that last has shifted.
😢Thailand was on Japan side wtf
you are ignorant.
Like the Italians they did a quick flip flop.
Thai's are on everyone's side if they can make money out of it
