The way I see it is that YouTubing is kind of a Grey area. Now you do have the new DTV visa, where you can reside in Thailand while YouTubing and do so perfectly legally. While your stay is authorized for 6 months at a time (with a possibility of a one time 6 month extension) you can do border runs and are thus allowed to stay up to 5 years, because the visa lasts for 5 years, just that each stay is for 6 months. I think that's a reasonably good new method of staying long term, even if you do need to do a border run every 6 months. Even if you hold another type of long term visa such as a marriage visa - YouTubing tends to be acceptable, as long as you do NOT criticize Thailand. If your videos are about certain topics and stick to those, you should generally be OK. Working online for a foreign company that doesn't involve YouTubing is even better- as it really doesn't fit the definition of working in Thailand regardless of what some people (often lawyers looking for new clients) might claim. However, again, there are now a couple of new visas, which confer the legal right to work from Thailand using these visas, again the DTV is one of them and its the best one. The LTR is another one but that visa requires you work for a fortune 500 company, which is rather ridiculous.
😂 it must seem viewers are being overly nosy in regards to some of the repair content but we all learn in different ways. You never know, but your front end issue might be one someone else has who can't see the car on a lift. Weird but could be helpful. I just went through it last week. Had to watch 4 YT videos before i saw all of the steps to change 1 brakelight bulb on my Kia. Saved me $$$. I'm probably going to make a video "Old Lady Changes Kia Optima Bulb with Swiss Army Knife" so another old lady feels confident enough to try it! 🤣
If you're on a marriage visa due to being married to a Thai, you are "work authorized" which means you can get a work permit. But, the only way to actually get a work permit when you're work authorized in Thailand is to connect that permit to a specific job which has historically meant a job provided by a company that has a legal right to operate in Thailand. So far, that has seemed to mean that a TH-camr would have to go through quite a lot of hassle and expense to set up that Thai company and, so far, I haven't seen any people report that they have gone that route. A work permit in Thailand is not analogous to a green card in the U.S. which allows you to work anywhere. In Thailand, there must be a company of record for the permit and related to one specific job.
Nice to hear someone doing it properly; I also have a TIN and pay tax on my income here based on what I pay myself from my company. The thing that most expats are unaware of is if you are in Thailand more than 180 days a year, you are, and always have been, a tax resident. These latest changes to foreign income tax haven’t changed anything there. I would be willing to bet a vast majority of expats are completely blind to that 😅
@@thenakedguru agreed. Also for what it’s worth you don’t need a work permit to get a TIN, you can just go to the revenue department and get one. Important for people who are maybe only passively making income and then remitting it into Thailand.
@@alanchase7329Tax resident Singles/Couples with income over 120K/220K THB have to file a tax return. If you don’t file there are penalties and the statute of limitations is 10 years. See - How To File Your Income Tax In Thailand In 2024 EXPATICA.
Love the simplicity of your presentation, I am aware as someone who looks to move abroad I can feel overwhelmed by all the info I can access to get there. Space is apparent where you are and not the congestion of city, naturally. Glad Thailand offers both. I look forward to following you 🙏🏻
For someone who wasn’t planning on being where you are and doing what you’re doing it appears that life has turned out well. Always thought that you may have a few different sidelines to create an income. When your “self reliant” it always good to have a few different avenues of income, nothing is guaranteed. Always great content. Khap
I own a pub together with my girlfriend for more then 15 years now. Set it up as a company about 12 years ago. Ive had a workpermit and been paying taxes ever since. The paper work is a nightmare every year. But its nice to know everything is in order.
@@ToxicTotoroI've never heard of a nominee company, so not sure what that is. 😅 I should have mentioned. It's a Thai Limited company. 51% of the shares are owned by my girlfriend.
Impressed with your entrepreneurial spirit, I feel these developing countries have such low bar of entry good business opportunities for foriegner that you may not have in the west. The red tape, cost and bureaucracy can kill and stifle a business idea in the west even before it has started. Best of luck with all your future endeavours and good wishes to you and your family. Your a good example to others.
I had an old Hilux until my wife turned it into a mobile coffee/tea truck. I bought a second hand Honda City. It's just not made for driving in the sticks where I live. Your Mazda is probably the same. When I get enough dosh I'm getting another Hilux.
@@PeterC245I'm sure that Australia does have the same attitude that Thailand does. You can't just waltz into Australia and decide you want to work if your only on a visa that doesn't permit work. Just as in Thailand, if you arrive in the country and get a job that you're not supposed to be doing and get caught doing the job, you'll almost certainly get deported (examples are on Border Force, or similar TV shows). Where Australia needs foreigners to fill jobs that Australians either won't do, or don't have high enough qualifications then the government looks outside the country to fill the jobs and that's the same with Thailand. Want to criticise the Australian Government? Fair enough, but do it for the right reason and have facts to back it up, isn't that right @thenakedguru
@colinb8512 Australia doesn't have any restrictions on what jobs foreign nationals can do. They don't care and in fact actively encourage entire industries and positions are taken over by non-white migrants. Australia doesn't care about volunteering. A Thai national on a tourist visa could help a neighbor do some gardening (without pay) and there would be no issue. I'm pretty sure a Thai tourist YouTubing in Australia generally wouldn't be of much interest to the authorities unless it came down to taxation, after about 180 days of residence.
Oh yes, rubber bushings on the swing arm. They get old and then broken by the bad roads. Just get them inspected once a year and replace if necessary, the whole car will run a lot smoother. Also it is always a good idea to check the ball joints once you lifted up the car. And always change them in pairs, if you do one side, do the other as well as they are the same age ... Changing only one side will lead to failure in the other side quite shortly after.
Hi Ryan The rubber part you pointed at is the CV boot. The big metal bit is the wishbone, which has rubber bushes that wear out from time to time. The bit he pointed at on the wheel side of the wishbone is the ball joint (wheel collapses upward when it breaks). The item you pointed to that holds the wheel on is called a stud and should not be loose. There are a few tests that I have done in the past due to having similar problems with the many vehicles that I have owned in the past. Also the I have had to change many suspension parts on vehicles over the years. As you are getting it sorted by a Thai garage. I would love to hear what it finally cost you. Depending on the price of the parts, of course, I would expect it to be somewhere around 3000 to 15000 baht. This is a very helpful video about the work permit as I will be looking into that when I come to Thailand in the future. Also considering the SMART S visa.
At least not another Western TH-camr that is a Tax Advisor hahaha and doesn't link an expensive Tax Advisor Company as an affiliate. Insane that people pay money to these companies to get a Tax ID (TIN) which you can just get for 50 THB (service fee) at your local tax office lol
not blowing my own trumpet but I also don't push the international drivers permit that i was offered $3000 to talk about, or a number of crypto coins that offered substantially more haha
@@thenakedguru they also insane.. I get my 5 years driver license extension with 1 letter from the immigration (letter of residency) and the best thing is nowadays you can book an appointment with the official app with your passport some weeks before. Had like 10min waiting time :D But yeah everything is easier when you have a Thai wife or you speak Thai yourself. I can imagine some people struggle with the Thai language and then get screwed by expensive agencies.
@@Lew-hb7qi They don't have any obligation and they also have no credibility either. But if you are on TH-cam touting the Thai-Expat lifestyle and offering consultations (Talking mainly to the players in Pattaya and fishing shirt) one may think, I should let my audience know how I did it.
I am amazed at how much work/biz info you managed to pack into just a few minutes in this vlog. You may not know much about cars (same with me... 555), but it is pretty clear that you *do* know a lot about the practical side of working & running a business - and most importantly, keeping it legal - in Thailand. Imo, there are too many vloggers - incl. a lawyer or two - who dispense some really sketchy advice about skirting around legal stuff in Thailand, which only puts you at risk of getting deported and/or being put on a PNG no-return list. So, it is good to hear a real-life example of how it should be done.... ie. keeping everything aboveboard and 100% legal. Best of luck with all of your ventures - big & small. And, with your car! :)
Taking my car to a garage in Thailand, always comes back with a new problem and parts missing, now i do all my own repairs lol, great video keep up the good work!! oh and heres a good tip for you, never fill the car rad water with the water from the tap, the tap water in Thailand contains caustic soda aka sodium hydroxide,, eats aluminum and creates hydrogen gas.
Hey Ryan, from what I have seen over the past 17 years in Thailand, the garage you are in, is pretty nice. They have 3 lifts and it looks very clean and organized. I agree with what the mechanic said about replacing both sides.
There was a very knowledgeable and friendly lady who had retired to Thailand about a year ago. Enjoyed her videos. She was good. But some people gave her so much grief that she closed down her channel. Some people.
Sorry about my comment the other day, builders in issan form, my comment about your roof and the workers. Your channel is solid. You’re a very humble guy for a guy in a hat.
You have explained the process of companies, tax and work permits in an easily understandable way. We'll done. What you MUST point out however, when you're wanting to do any sort of business in Thailand the uppermost cardinal rule is finding someone you can TRUST. This is what trips most people up, even those with an acute business acumen. A first class lawyer is a must and he/she needs total command of the English language. Then of course, it stands to reason to find the right partner, remembering that those who make good wives & mothers don't always make the best business partners.
if they did strictly enforce it, people like me would no longer have that "window" into thailand and life in Thailand from a familiar perspective. its 99% free marketing, until the thai tourism board sponsors your content 😅
99% of TH-camrs would not make enough money to maintain the costs of a company, they would also need 4 Thai staff if they were on a business visa. There are many many reasons why most smaller TH-camrs are not able to get a work permit and pay tax even if they want to 👍
Always enjoy your vlogs. I could never be a TH-camr, the 'clever' and 'over enthusiastic' people 😉 would drive me crazy!!! If you get my drift!! Looking forward to the coming vlogs. from Eng/DK guy in Portugal
As always 'nakedguru' a good video. There are many moaners in the world, trying to dodge them is impossible. Just carry on regardless, you are doing good and as long as you and the family are doing okay that's about all that counts. For mine you are doing good, excellent work, family is great, I'm loving the channel. Big thumbs up. 👍👍❤️😇
Thank you for sharing how the tax and business works for your particular situation. I really enjoyed your details related to car ownership and responsibilities as well.
If you are a little bit mechanical minded and can get delivery of parts online, it sometimes pays to get onto some forums and watch repair and service tutorials on TH-cam. But saying that you still need the tools.
Ryan I worked in an auto assembly plant for over 30 years. These new cars and trucks are not made for the average person to work on. I admire the men and women that can diagnose and repair them. I pay someone else to do all needed work. Faulty work can cost you and family your lives. Best wishes!
A TH-camr isn't taking a Thai job, it something that one can do, and then go and spend the money in the Thai economy. It sounds ludicrous to me, they want you to spend all your money in Thailand and then don't allow you to earn anything back, how is that sustainable?
Ryan,I’m not any way an mechanic,but I know that much that those part could cause an serious problem,to say the least,so be safe out on the roads,alone or with your family ❤❤
Ryan your car just needs rubber bushings on either end of steering rod arm, no big deal, check front wheel bearings for adjustment. No big expence. Good lad get quotes.
The car maintenance both mechanic’s are correct. The car itself is a light duty vehicle and I’m sure it’s not built for rural roads that could have potholes rough surfaces. The front end on that car just isn’t robust enough. When I get a hair cut I go to a professional barber when I have a toothache I go to a dentist. Going to a mechanic shop to look after your car isn’t any different. So all the backyard mechanics of the world thinking you have to do your own aren’t really being realistic. I’m always amazed that the expat community will be the first to turn on themselves for when one is doing something the others can’t or won’t do.
Shame you have to set up a company to actually work in Thailand. But as you say the alternative is to be an employee for someone else who has a business. Guess I need to look into this; I have a UK business so know how to run that so I guess I would just need to learn the ins and outs of a Thai company. That car is basically a Ford Fiesta; even in Thailand it should be easy to get parts. Changing that is either the whole arm or the ball joints; sounds like the rubber is broken on the arm where it connects to the sub frame (the frame that supports the front suspension and engine). Quite easy to change; easiest just to get a new arm (and you don't need to change both sides but by the sound of it sounds like both sides have gone). Pickups are the best choice in Thailand IMHO since roads can be bad; heat, etc, and they last forever; my 2006 Triton is still going strong!
Hey Ryan. I live in Surin and have always been interested in learning the saxophone. Do you know where I could pick up a 2nd hand saxophone here in Thailand? Thanks
Had the cv joints and drive axles replaced on wife ford focus, not cheap,72,000 baht and that was with genuine ford replaceparts parts. A week out action waiting for parts, i think nest way do st ford dealer ship as got warranty on both parts and workmanship.
Good afternoon Ryan from Malaysia..l just wanted to enquire about your three wheeler motorcycle carriage with roofing..which you sent for repairs..how is it now? I don't see it back yet??
I enjoy watching your experience with your family, and am expecting a Thai child in December. I am thinking about doing something similar as you are, so I appreciate learning and seeing what I can take from what you do. But not the youtube thing, I prefer to keep my life private for the most part. But I definitely want to buy some farm land for the kid and mother in order to help provide for them.
I would say you tubering in these countries by foreigner youtubers is of benefit to showcase the country to encourage others to come and also where are you going to spend the revenue money you make - where you live. So its likely you spend all your youtube money in the local economy or local market to the benefit of the locals of the nation you live in.
Surely as you are established with a wife, children and a legit company, you should be permitted residency and permission to purchase and own property. Not that you need worry on that score, as I get the impression your wife is totally loyal, and trust worthy!!!!😊
The comment about the spinney bit, no go. Was pretty funny. CV is under the rubber boot (the joint that allows for the change of angle, the thing that clicks when you turn in a old car) and the 2nd bit is the wishbone (lets the wheels move up and down independently unlike a old style solid axil). I don't know much about cars either, just bolt on new bits to replace the broken bits. Only fabricate small un important stuff. Even people that are a jack of all trades I'm sure have very big holes in their knowledge base. The more specialized people get those holes seem to get bigger outside their particular task. Probably rightly so if your doing big hours as a leading neurosurgeon why would you waste your time on why the tap doesn't work in your time off the plumber only charges out at 1/4 of your equivalent hourly rate. If I tried to machine a head or sleeve cylinders the piston would probably pop out the side.
My knowlege on are cars is a bit old fashioned but during my time on the planet I've learnt a couple of things. Your problem sounds like to me to ba miner problem, but maybe not. I would try getting the wheels balanced as sometimes one of the little lead weights fall off and this can cause the wheels to shake at certain speeds
Thanks for sharing your info about setting up the company etc. I would like to set up a company to I could run my small time auto parts business from within Thailand. But don't know where to start :)
The Gestopo is still everywhere my friend. In the poor rural areas of any country gossiping and backbiting are a national pastime! Keep a low profile. 😊
I will not start any TH-cam channel for one very good reason Ryan,and that’s because I have a radio appearance 😂😂😂😂 so I will avoid TH-cam thank you for yet another comprehensive video Ryan.😊😊❤❤
What seems unfair is to tax income earned overseas that you then bring into thailand for living costs. I use to transfer funds online into my thai bank account from Spore when i lived in Phuket. Would that now be reported and taxed? 😮
There has been 2 changes this year. The change to the tax rule which means tax resident Singles/Couples with income of or above 120K/220K THB have to file tax returns and there are penalties if you don’t or file a false return (See - How to file your income tax in Thailand in 2024 EXPATICA). Also the new DTV visa which is aimed at Digital Nomads. You can’t get a work permit on a DTV but you can submit an employment contract or professional portfolio and apply for it as a remote worker working for foreign companies/clients. So Thailand is obviously classing this work and income as not working in Thailand and the income as foreign income. Thai sourced income is income from employment or business carried out in Thailand and is taxable in Thailand regardless of which Country it paid in. So with these restrictions on the DTV will Thailand just turn a blind eye if they become YTers++. (++ = promoting sponsors, selling merchandise, courses, consultations, show casing property etc). If not will they allow those already YTing on retirement visas, no work permits etc to continue and will they allow them to have the income from these activities which Thai sourced income paid overseas and not pay the tax to Thailand while the rest have to comply with the rules. Another thing some might not be aware is Thailand is now a CRS (Common Reporting Standard) Country. CRS Countries automatically and periodically share your financial transaction info such as bank balances, deposits and source of those deposits, investments etc (See - Thailand begins Common Reporting Standard Exchange in 2023 TAINA).
Interesting topic, but there are so many different scenarios. Many foreigners beleive living in Thailand but working for offshore company is the way to describe TH-cam content. Whether that stands the test of law or application of the law as it stands is an unknown quantity. Does it com into play if you tag Thailand as location in a video when you are uploading content. Should it be left untagged?
There has not been a case to my knowledge of youtubers getting in trouble for working here. However i think when it comes to being a tex resident and having sponsors etc this is probably seen as working but not enforced. DTV visa may provide a solution but this is just my humble opinion
As they say TiT (This is Thailand). I know the law that says what work a foreigner can do is very vague. Cutting your own lawn can be considered against the law, but the police around where I live have seen me out working in the rice fields clearing brush and helping with the planting. They said they had never seen a farang do hard work. There was also a Aussy that started a bar out in the sticks. The police told him as long as he did not serve Thais' they would not bother him. The funny thing is they come and buy his imported beer for themselves. But again TiT. I have heard of people getting busted for going behind the wife's bar to change the music.
Man I like your videos and it’s entertaining. About the negative comments, I think it comes from jealousy 🙂 Keep it up and also you can always find something good in the bad comments, gives you content to explain it in your videos😄 I don’t know shit about cars either, been driving in the UK for over 5 years. I am from Europe. Gathering all the infos to make the big step one day and move to Thailand🙂
I have specific questions on your cacao. Do you have it tested for Lead and cadmium? What is the flavonoids level. Are you adding flavonoids to the process? I have the same issues with Honey. Fortunately I’ve found a local source that’s reputable
Those drive shafts won’t be cheap. That play in the cv’s (constant velocity joints) is supposed to be there as they change length as the suspension travels up and down. Most likely issues will be bottom arms, the flat triangular shaped plates with a ball joint connecting to the hub. In the past you could change just the bottom ball joints but now they’re part of the bottom arms so you have to replace the whole thing. Very interesting video, can’t believe you attract so many negative people. Why do they even watch 🤔
@@thenakedguru those mechanics didn’t look confident in pinpointing the issue. They could suggest several costly fixes before they solve the issue. I’ve had tyres go out of shape in Thailand, never heard of it before but it was a fact, very strange. Could also just be a wheel/tyre out of balance which would be a cheap fix. Interested to see your next update on the mighty Mazda 🤞
I'd say don't pay any attention to the bad/evil comments. Some people really don't have anything else to do with their free time and the fact that it's what they chose to do with it speaks for itself. Life goes on 😊
Food I am missing in Thailand is with a lot of fibers...so let me know about "lentils", "corns "..;either your company or another. Plus, is it possible to get it directly shipped by bags anywhere in Thailand ?
I know you said you don't usually cover it but you must have a lot of experience with your marriage visa. Could you make a video about your experience with that?
could the TH-cam be registered to Mo and she to receive the income, so not requiring you to worry so much about the work permit? (I wonder if this an option for Thai-expat couples)
We started out that route, but from our advice it is the foreigner still on camera generating the income and particularly with sponsors this could be an issue, there has never been a case that I know of against a TH-camr for working however 🙏👍
@@thenakedguru yes thanks. p.s. although this is not the visa channel, happy to hear your thoughts and monitor progress on the "DTV" visa as it happens, and how this is affecting the situation, both in terms of numbers of remote expat workers and their activities. for me it is appealing but the bank balance requirement makes it only open to posh lads and lasses
@@thenakedguru Wish you all the best with this TH-cam channel, but that's why I don't do that stuff :D Imo every Western TH-camr making $$$ with it should need a work permit because it's clearly work if you make money. But again if they don't care about it then it's fine :) But reggie5's idea is in general the right idea but hard todo when you have to be public in front of a camera.
@@reggie5yeah my initial thoughts on it is that it could be great for TH-camrs but it’s early days. If it ends up checking out I may even consider it down the line as a cheaper option to maintaining work authorization via company 👍
I thought that western You Tubers living in Thailand with a Thai wife or girlfriend put their You Tube account in their name. Oddly enough I actually am a Tax Adviser and do have a few clients living abroad including Thailand and Cambodia. Situations include British citizens being resident in the UK on paper; on the payroll of UK companies to get qualifying years for the UK state pension; operating from abroad but using an English limited company.
This is one strategy but if the law as I understand it is followed and enforced this would likely not cover a farang talking about sponsors and working without a permit. The truth is it has never happened yet so we can’t really know, just my 2 cents 👍
Great Walk and Talk again here Ryan. Yes, working in Thailand is something I wish I could do part time. One YT channel has an English farang man who claims on camera that he is the "builder". Also he is advertising himself to farangs who are doing a build so is compensated. One of the commenters on your new build suggested "hiring" this farang is how I found him. The other strange thing here in Pattaya are the many "Indians" at restaurants, running restaurants, and actually in plain sight making "Turkish kebabs" at their restaurant/street food stalls. No problem to me, yet seems odd that they are not required to hire Thais, as all other restaurants I have seen are staffed by Thais. Possibly these are all Thai-Indian citizens related to the many Indians who became citizens back in the 1920's ... Interesting tax discussion, good to know you are all "legal" and doing it the right way Ryan and Mo. Peace and Love Y'all
I may qualify through TH-cam I don’t imagine crypto will qualify but I really don’t know I would probably move to DTV if it turns out TH-cam qualifies 👍

Yes to the phone Yes, you can use a VPN on your smart TV. Here are a few methods to do so: 1. **Using a VPN-enabled router:** This method ensures that all devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, including your smart TV, use the VPN. You'll need to configure your router with the VPN settings provided by your VPN service. 2. **Smart DNS services:** Some VPN providers offer Smart DNS as part of their service, which can be set up directly on your smart TV. This method doesn't encrypt your traffic but allows you to access geo-restricted content. 3. **VPN apps on Smart TVs:** If your smart TV runs on Android TV, you can download and install a VPN app directly from the Google Play Store. 4. **Sharing a VPN connection from a PC or Mac:** You can share your computer's VPN connection with your smart TV via an Ethernet cable or by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot from your computer.
Good move choosing bitcoin and Tesla as your retirement bags.. two uncorrelated assets that have loads of potential upside. The future looks good for both.
@@thenakedguru haha no way! Me too... I use my UK ISA to swap tax free.. current range is to swap to MSTR at around 5:1 and swap back to Tesla at around 9:1. Free shares! We're at around 8:1 now, so hopefully there will be a good opportunity to swap from MSTR to Tesla in the next week or so.
yeah im a patron and learned it all from James, also use the trading 212 ISA in UK. Only thing I m thinking at the moment is if this is the run for BTC its not a good time to be out of MSTR esp with the split coming too!
Yeah, I know what you mean about BTC.. I only swap tiny bits of my MSTR and Tesla. I have a 20% pair trading bag and an 80% HODL bag. Too risky to be swapping large amounts as you don't wanna miss out if one of the assets decides to on a big run.
normaly the woble is no problem. not dangerous. But he says a wishbone is broken???? its very very rare it brakes... he mean the rubbers are worn? just change the rubbers. Did you see actually the METAL crack?????? Drivechafts gives no problem in a woble, they don't change the allignment, rubers do, the position from the wheel changes as teh hole is bigger, the wheel goes to the outside by the weigth. changing its line on the tarmac, and by each bump the bolts in the rubbers go back to the center, this is the woble you feel or hear. no danger. just change the rubbers. you can ask me anything about mechanic or construction. and a few other things. don't ask me things about iphones.
Its great that u feel the need to share ure personal information , but please don't think you have to , I personally don't need to know , I watch ure chanel for your interesting lifestyle , people's personal finance is their business I think , anyway it's your channel 👍✌
Thanks for your reply. I’m 30 years old and have a future ambition to move to Thailand so always thinking of ways for my money to work the best % ^ for my future.
What about a visa for remote work? You tube being American owned, viewed internationally. Like working for a online your a company overseas, no one would even know about those jobs or managing a company in another country. Everyone would just thing you spend to much time on a PC inside. It's good to know how to play the tax game. So you can colour to the edge of the lines without going over. Do you not pay personal tax on your income after business tax? In NZ we pay 28% in business (of course deductions) then about 30, 33 or 38% for personal drawings depending how well your doing. So after seeing your monthly gross and smiling then at the end of it you get equivalent of the lost change in the hand 🤬and noticing all the degrading tax funded systems in the country. My concern is adding to that another tax from another country that NZ doesn't have a deal with. 20% flat rate personal tax Cambodia for example after 6 months sounds not too bad, I don't think I could swing "staff" accommodation and expenses 🤞 If I could only 20% tax on pocket money 😁🥳👍
Since Musk called one of the men who helped rescue the Thai school boys stuck in a cave “pedoguy”, I was done with Musk and Tesla. Since then, I would not drive a Tesla even if someone paid me. Musk might be smart, but he is also an extreme narcissist. I won’t say anything else because this is a channel generally free of politics, which I value. At any rate, good luck with your Tesla investment. Not a bad company, but not by any stretch unique anymore either.

The way I see it is that YouTubing is kind of a Grey area. Now you do have the new DTV visa, where you can reside in Thailand while YouTubing and do so perfectly legally. While your stay is authorized for 6 months at a time (with a possibility of a one time 6 month extension) you can do border runs and are thus allowed to stay up to 5 years, because the visa lasts for 5 years, just that each stay is for 6 months. I think that's a reasonably good new method of staying long term, even if you do need to do a border run every 6 months.
Even if you hold another type of long term visa such as a marriage visa - YouTubing tends to be acceptable, as long as you do NOT criticize Thailand. If your videos are about certain topics and stick to those, you should generally be OK.
Working online for a foreign company that doesn't involve YouTubing is even better- as it really doesn't fit the definition of working in Thailand regardless of what some people (often lawyers looking for new clients) might claim. However, again, there are now a couple of new visas, which confer the legal right to work from Thailand using these visas, again the DTV is one of them and its the best one. The LTR is another one but that visa requires you work for a fortune 500 company, which is rather ridiculous.
You're a level headed fella I like the fact you are none confrontational I wish you all the Best for your Future
Appreciate it Steve
Ditto
😂 it must seem viewers are being overly nosy in regards to some of the repair content but we all learn in different ways. You never know, but your front end issue might be one someone else has who can't see the car on a lift. Weird but could be helpful. I just went through it last week. Had to watch 4 YT videos before i saw all of the steps to change 1 brakelight bulb on my Kia. Saved me $$$. I'm probably going to make a video "Old Lady Changes Kia Optima Bulb with Swiss Army Knife" so another old lady feels confident enough to try it! 🤣
Hi Old Lady from another Old Lady 😅😂
Im-a gonna git me a GoPro(camera) 😮😊 !
The fact that Thailand doesn't automatically confer a work permit to a married partner and parent-on-record is absolutely despicable.
I agree - even if it is after a set time 🙏
No it's not....
If you're on a marriage visa due to being married to a Thai, you are "work authorized" which means you can get a work permit. But, the only way to actually get a work permit when you're work authorized in Thailand is to connect that permit to a specific job which has historically meant a job provided by a company that has a legal right to operate in Thailand. So far, that has seemed to mean that a TH-camr would have to go through quite a lot of hassle and expense to set up that Thai company and, so far, I haven't seen any people report that they have gone that route. A work permit in Thailand is not analogous to a green card in the U.S. which allows you to work anywhere. In Thailand, there must be a company of record for the permit and related to one specific job.
This is the route I have gone 👍
@@wellnesswithjon one you tuber deported.
Everyone else would fall in line.
Nice to hear someone doing it properly; I also have a TIN and pay tax on my income here based on what I pay myself from my company. The thing that most expats are unaware of is if you are in Thailand more than 180 days a year, you are, and always have been, a tax resident. These latest changes to foreign income tax haven’t changed anything there. I would be willing to bet a vast majority of expats are completely blind to that 😅
i think if they get serious about this tax, a company will come in very handy for long timers
@@thenakedguru agreed. Also for what it’s worth you don’t need a work permit to get a TIN, you can just go to the revenue department and get one. Important for people who are maybe only passively making income and then remitting it into Thailand.
@@lewisking94You do need a reason for why you want a TIN. I said I get tax taken from interest on my Thai bank account so I should have a TIN.
@@alanchase7329 at least where I went, you don’t, you just go to the revenue department and ask for one. ☺️
@@alanchase7329Tax resident Singles/Couples with income over 120K/220K THB have to file a tax return. If you don’t file there are penalties and the statute of limitations is 10 years. See - How To File Your Income Tax In Thailand In 2024 EXPATICA.
Love the simplicity of your presentation, I am aware as someone who looks to move abroad I can feel overwhelmed by all the info I can access to get there. Space is apparent where you are and not the congestion of city, naturally. Glad Thailand offers both. I look forward to following you 🙏🏻
welcome to the channel!
For someone who wasn’t planning on being where you are and doing what you’re doing it appears that life has turned out well. Always thought that you may have a few different sidelines to create an income. When your “self reliant” it always good to have a few different avenues of income, nothing is guaranteed.
Always great content.
Khap
Krapom!
I own a pub together with my girlfriend for more then 15 years now. Set it up as a company about 12 years ago. Ive had a workpermit and been paying taxes ever since. The paper work is a nightmare every year. But its nice to know everything is in order.
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏
By saying "you own it" it makes it a nominee company.
@@ToxicTotoroI've never heard of a nominee company, so not sure what that is. 😅 I should have mentioned. It's a Thai Limited company. 51% of the shares are owned by my girlfriend.
Sounds like you are a good candidate for Permanent Residence…
@robinradema1 Bargirls.....you got played sir😂😂😂😂😂
Impressed with your entrepreneurial spirit, I feel these developing countries have such low bar of entry good business opportunities for foriegner that you may not have in the west. The red tape, cost and bureaucracy can kill and stifle a business idea in the west even before it has started. Best of luck with all your future endeavours and good wishes to you and your family. Your a good example to others.
I had an old Hilux until my wife turned it into a mobile coffee/tea truck. I bought a second hand Honda City. It's just not made for driving in the sticks where I live. Your Mazda is probably the same. When I get enough dosh I'm getting another Hilux.
Love how you've organized-

-for us. 🎉
Its a pity our government don't do what's best for British people like the Thai government do...Great vlog thanks.
I often think this 👍
The Thai government takes the attitude, Thailand for Thais first,
Yes it’s a F##KING shame the Australian government doesn’t have the same attitude
@@PeterC245I'm sure that Australia does have the same attitude that Thailand does. You can't just waltz into Australia and decide you want to work if your only on a visa that doesn't permit work. Just as in Thailand, if you arrive in the country and get a job that you're not supposed to be doing and get caught doing the job, you'll almost certainly get deported (examples are on Border Force, or similar TV shows). Where Australia needs foreigners to fill jobs that Australians either won't do, or don't have high enough qualifications then the government looks outside the country to fill the jobs and that's the same with Thailand. Want to criticise the Australian Government? Fair enough, but do it for the right reason and have facts to back it up, isn't that right @thenakedguru
@colinb8512 Australia doesn't have any restrictions on what jobs foreign nationals can do. They don't care and in fact actively encourage entire industries and positions are taken over by non-white migrants. Australia doesn't care about volunteering. A Thai national on a tourist visa could help a neighbor do some gardening (without pay) and there would be no issue. I'm pretty sure a Thai tourist YouTubing in Australia generally wouldn't be of much interest to the authorities unless it came down to taxation, after about 180 days of residence.
Thank goodness I only watch the TH-cam videos and completely ignore the social media drama.
Oh yes, rubber bushings on the swing arm.
They get old and then broken by the bad roads.
Just get them inspected once a year and replace if necessary, the whole car will run a lot smoother.
Also it is always a good idea to check the ball joints once you lifted up the car.
And always change them in pairs, if you do one side, do the other as well as they are the same age ... Changing only one side will lead to failure in the other side quite shortly after.
I think they have changed both but will update 😁
Hi Ryan
The rubber part you pointed at is the CV boot.
The big metal bit is the wishbone, which has rubber bushes that wear out from time to time. The bit he pointed at on the wheel side of the wishbone is the ball joint (wheel collapses upward when it breaks).
The item you pointed to that holds the wheel on is called a stud and should not be loose.
There are a few tests that I have done in the past due to having similar problems with the many vehicles that I have owned in the past.
Also the I have had to change many suspension parts on vehicles over the years. As you are getting it sorted by a Thai garage. I would love to hear what it finally cost you. Depending on the price of the parts, of course, I would expect it to be somewhere around 3000 to 15000 baht.
This is a very helpful video about the work permit as I will be looking into that when I come to Thailand in the future. Also considering the SMART S visa.
Thanks for the info my friend - they didn’t bill me yet but I think I will update 😁🙏
Ps DTV looks very promising in my opinion 👍
At last, an honest TH-camr talks about how they comply with the law. The only other one that showed the WP and explained how or what they did is @TTT.
At least not another Western TH-camr that is a Tax Advisor hahaha and doesn't link an expensive Tax Advisor Company as an affiliate. Insane that people pay money to these companies to get a Tax ID (TIN) which you can just get for 50 THB (service fee) at your local tax office lol
not blowing my own trumpet but I also don't push the international drivers permit that i was offered $3000 to talk about, or a number of crypto coins that offered substantially more haha
@@thenakedguru they also insane.. I get my 5 years driver license extension with 1 letter from the immigration (letter of residency) and the best thing is nowadays you can book an appointment with the official app with your passport some weeks before. Had like 10min waiting time :D
But yeah everything is easier when you have a Thai wife or you speak Thai yourself. I can imagine some people struggle with the Thai language and then get screwed by expensive agencies.
What obligations do that have you to you Ron to show you their WP 😅
@@Lew-hb7qi They don't have any obligation and they also have no credibility either. But if you are on TH-cam touting the Thai-Expat lifestyle and offering consultations (Talking mainly to the players in Pattaya and fishing shirt) one may think, I should let my audience know how I did it.
I am amazed at how much work/biz info you managed to pack into just a few minutes in this vlog. You may not know much about cars (same with me... 555), but it is pretty clear that you *do* know a lot about the practical side of working & running a business - and most importantly, keeping it legal - in Thailand.
Imo, there are too many vloggers - incl. a lawyer or two - who dispense some really sketchy advice about skirting around legal stuff in Thailand, which only puts you at risk of getting deported and/or being put on a PNG no-return list. So, it is good to hear a real-life example of how it should be done.... ie. keeping everything aboveboard and 100% legal.
Best of luck with all of your ventures - big & small. And, with your car! :)
Love your blog watch every day, sometimes binge it!❤😂❤
One of best vlogs ive seen in years
Appreciate it 🙏
Best utuber ..humble no bs helpful interesting cultural ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Taking my car to a garage in Thailand, always comes back with a new problem and parts missing, now i do all my own repairs lol, great video keep up the good work!! oh and heres a good tip for you, never fill the car rad water with the water from the tap, the tap water in Thailand contains caustic soda aka sodium hydroxide,, eats aluminum and creates hydrogen gas.
I've noticed that most garages do not balance the wheels when they change the tyres. This is a cause of wheels wobbling at certain speeds.
Taxation is not always theft, you know! Sometimes it's just plain old extortion!
🤣🙏
My last car had a shaking issue. But it was wheel alignment. I had a bad dealership. Lucky for me a quick and cheap fix.
Hope your car is sorted out soon Ryan! Thanks for posting this video 😊
Thank you Marietta 🙏😊❤️
Always interesting and informative and entertaining, wish you good luck with everything you do .
Much appreciated!
Hey Ryan, from what I have seen over the past 17 years in Thailand, the garage you are in, is pretty nice. They have 3 lifts and it looks very clean and organized. I agree with what the mechanic said about replacing both sides.
There was a very knowledgeable and friendly lady who had retired to Thailand about a year ago. Enjoyed her videos. She was good. But some people gave her so much grief that she closed down her channel. Some people.
its sick, i genuinely know how she feels
Sorry about my comment the other day, builders in issan form, my comment about your roof and the workers. Your channel is solid. You’re a very humble guy for a guy in a hat.
No problem, cheers 👍🙏
Interesting to hear your business venture Ryan. This is all good info for the future. Thanks for that
Cheers Matt
You have explained the process of companies, tax and work permits in an easily understandable way. We'll done.
What you MUST point out however, when you're wanting to do any sort of business in Thailand the uppermost cardinal rule is finding someone you can TRUST.
This is what trips most people up, even those with an acute business acumen. A first class lawyer is a must and he/she needs total command of the English language.
Then of course, it stands to reason to find the right partner, remembering that those who make good wives & mothers don't always make the best business partners.
It’s a good point 👍👍👍
if they did strictly enforce it, people like me would no longer have that "window" into thailand and life in Thailand from a familiar perspective. its 99% free marketing, until the thai tourism board sponsors your content 😅
Bingo 👍👍👍
What's so hard about getting a work permit and paying taxes?
Real Thailand 🇹🇭 is Sex , drugs n violence.....
99% of TH-camrs would not make enough money to maintain the costs of a company, they would also need 4 Thai staff if they were on a business visa. There are many many reasons why most smaller TH-camrs are not able to get a work permit and pay tax even if they want to 👍
Always enjoy your vlogs. I could never be a TH-camr, the 'clever' and 'over enthusiastic' people 😉 would drive me crazy!!! If you get my drift!! Looking forward to the coming vlogs. from Eng/DK guy in Portugal
Cheers Mark 🙏
Retired foryou is a Phony.
As always 'nakedguru' a good video. There are many moaners in the world, trying to dodge them is impossible. Just carry on regardless, you are doing good and as long as you and the family are doing okay that's about all that counts. For mine you are doing good, excellent work, family is great, I'm loving the channel. Big thumbs up. 👍👍❤️😇
Thank you for sharing how the tax and business works for your particular situation. I really enjoyed your details related to car ownership and responsibilities as well.
Thanks Jennifer 🙏🙏
If you are a little bit mechanical minded and can get delivery of parts online, it sometimes pays to get onto some forums and watch repair and service tutorials on TH-cam. But saying that you still need the tools.
Ryan I worked in an auto assembly plant for over 30 years. These new cars and trucks are not made for the average person to work on. I admire the men and women that can diagnose and repair them. I pay someone else to do all needed work. Faulty work can cost you and family your lives. Best wishes!
a good mechanic is like a good lawyer - hard to find but worth the money
A TH-camr isn't taking a Thai job, it something that one can do, and then go and spend the money in the Thai economy. It sounds ludicrous to me, they want you to spend all your money in Thailand and then don't allow you to earn anything back, how is that sustainable?
it's not, but logic doesn't always prevail in Thailand.
nonetheless you are working and earning in thailand so by not paying taxes you are by definition an illegal
Ryan,I’m not any way an mechanic,but I know that much that those part could cause an serious problem,to say the least,so be safe out on the roads,alone or with your family ❤❤
Great video, very factual, spot on.
Appreciate it 🙏
The new DTV “Destination Thailand Visa” would be perfect for TH-camrs
But you need to be outside Thailand to get it.
I bow down about the fact that you don’t are an expert on tax issues,and visa issues,Ryan.😊😊😊😊
Ryan your car just needs rubber bushings on either end of steering rod arm, no big deal, check front wheel bearings for adjustment. No big expence. Good lad get quotes.
It will be good idea if your wife open chanel in thai language, the content is great ❤
The car maintenance both mechanic’s are correct. The car itself is a light duty vehicle and I’m sure it’s not built for rural roads that could have potholes rough surfaces. The front end on that car just isn’t robust enough. When I get a hair cut I go to a professional barber when I have a toothache I go to a dentist. Going to a mechanic shop to look after your car isn’t any different. So all the backyard mechanics of the world thinking you have to do your own aren’t really being realistic. I’m always amazed that the expat community will be the first to turn on themselves for when one is doing something the others can’t or won’t do.
Shame you have to set up a company to actually work in Thailand. But as you say the alternative is to be an employee for someone else who has a business. Guess I need to look into this; I have a UK business so know how to run that so I guess I would just need to learn the ins and outs of a Thai company. That car is basically a Ford Fiesta; even in Thailand it should be easy to get parts. Changing that is either the whole arm or the ball joints; sounds like the rubber is broken on the arm where it connects to the sub frame (the frame that supports the front suspension and engine). Quite easy to change; easiest just to get a new arm (and you don't need to change both sides but by the sound of it sounds like both sides have gone). Pickups are the best choice in Thailand IMHO since roads can be bad; heat, etc, and they last forever; my 2006 Triton is still going strong!
Hey Ryan. I live in Surin and have always been interested in learning the saxophone. Do you know where I could pick up a 2nd hand saxophone here in Thailand? Thanks
Had the cv joints and drive axles replaced on wife ford focus, not cheap,72,000 baht and that was with genuine ford replaceparts parts. A week out action waiting for parts, i think nest way do st ford dealer ship as got warranty on both parts and workmanship.
Good afternoon Ryan from Malaysia..l just wanted to enquire about your three wheeler motorcycle carriage with roofing..which you sent for repairs..how is it now? I don't see it back yet??
I enjoy watching your experience with your family, and am expecting a Thai child in December. I am thinking about doing something similar as you are, so I appreciate learning and seeing what I can take from what you do. But not the youtube thing, I prefer to keep my life private for the most part. But I definitely want to buy some farm land for the kid and mother in order to help provide for them.
I would say you tubering in these countries by foreigner youtubers is of benefit to showcase the country to encourage others to come and also where are you going to spend the revenue money you make - where you live. So its likely you spend all your youtube money in the local economy or local market to the benefit of the locals of the nation you live in.
I agree 👍👍
Surely as you are established with a wife, children and a legit company, you should be permitted residency and permission to purchase and own property. Not that you need worry on that score, as I get the impression your wife is totally loyal, and trust worthy!!!!😊
There are ways to secure land without owning it too 😊
Bitcoin and Tesla. You will go far
The comment about the spinney bit, no go. Was pretty funny.
CV is under the rubber boot (the joint that allows for the change of angle, the thing that clicks when you turn in a old car) and the 2nd bit is the wishbone (lets the wheels move up and down independently unlike a old style solid axil).
I don't know much about cars either, just bolt on new bits to replace the broken bits. Only fabricate small un important stuff.
Even people that are a jack of all trades I'm sure have very big holes in their knowledge base. The more specialized people get those holes seem to get bigger outside their particular task. Probably rightly so if your doing big hours as a leading neurosurgeon why would you waste your time on why the tap doesn't work in your time off the plumber only charges out at 1/4 of your equivalent hourly rate.
If I tried to machine a head or sleeve cylinders the piston would probably pop out the side.
When one doesn't know much about cars it's very hard to know if a mechanic is honest or competent.
Am trying to order from shamans shed is price in bahts or dollars?
คำทักทายจากโปแลนด์! ฉันชอบดูคุณ! ฉันใฝ่ฝันที่จะใช้ชีวิตในประเทศไทย ซื้อตั๋วไปภูเก็ต จะไป 1 ตุลาคม อยากไปเที่ยวที่เท่ๆ สวัสดีคุณ! 🥰
My knowlege on are cars is a bit old fashioned but during my time on the planet I've learnt a couple of things. Your problem sounds like to me to ba miner problem, but maybe not. I would try getting the wheels balanced as sometimes one of the little lead weights fall off and this can cause the wheels to shake at certain speeds
I bow down about the fact that you don’t are an expert on tax issues,and visa issues,Ryan.😊😊😊😊
Just me again,Ryan am trying to make a decision too move to Costa Rica or Thailand do you know any Costa Rican vlogers?
Thanks for sharing your info about setting up the company etc. I would like to set up a company to I could run my small time auto parts business from within Thailand. But don't know where to start :)
The Gestopo is still everywhere my friend. In the poor rural areas of any country gossiping and backbiting are a national pastime! Keep a low profile. 😊
Love all the info, but I really think you might want to reconsider your tesla investment.
That really depends when I bought it, I took options that make it practically risk free 👍
Thank you for your suggestion and for sharing; it helped me a lot.🙏💯
You're welcome!
I will not start any TH-cam channel for one very good reason Ryan,and that’s because I have a radio appearance 😂😂😂😂 so I will avoid TH-cam thank you for yet another comprehensive video Ryan.😊😊❤❤
What seems unfair is to tax income earned overseas that you then bring into thailand for living costs. I use to transfer funds online into my thai bank account from Spore when i lived in Phuket. Would that now be reported and taxed? 😮
There has been 2 changes this year. The change to the tax rule which means tax resident Singles/Couples with income of or above 120K/220K THB have to file tax returns and there are penalties if you don’t or file a false return (See - How to file your income tax in Thailand in 2024 EXPATICA). Also the new DTV visa which is aimed at Digital Nomads. You can’t get a work permit on a DTV but you can submit an employment contract or professional portfolio and apply for it as a remote worker working for foreign companies/clients. So Thailand is obviously classing this work and income as not working in Thailand and the income as foreign income. Thai sourced income is income from employment or business carried out in Thailand and is taxable in Thailand regardless of which Country it paid in. So with these restrictions on the DTV will Thailand just turn a blind eye if they become YTers++. (++ = promoting sponsors, selling merchandise, courses, consultations, show casing property etc). If not will they allow those already YTing on retirement visas, no work permits etc to continue and will they allow them to have the income from these activities which Thai sourced income paid overseas and not pay the tax to Thailand while the rest have to comply with the rules.
Another thing some might not be aware is Thailand is now a CRS (Common Reporting Standard) Country. CRS Countries automatically and periodically share your financial transaction info such as bank balances, deposits and source of those deposits, investments etc (See - Thailand begins Common Reporting Standard Exchange in 2023 TAINA).
Don't worry there is always jealous malice moon heads ryan, wish you and family well, luv from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🐊.
Wishing you all the best.
Thank you!
Interesting topic, but there are so many different scenarios. Many foreigners beleive living in Thailand but working for offshore company is the way to describe TH-cam content. Whether that stands the test of law or application of the law as it stands is an unknown quantity. Does it com into play if you tag Thailand as location in a video when you are uploading content. Should it be left untagged?
There has not been a case to my knowledge of youtubers getting in trouble for working here.
However i think when it comes to being a tex resident and having sponsors etc this is probably seen as working but not enforced. DTV visa may provide a solution but this is just my humble opinion
As they say TiT (This is Thailand). I know the law that says what work a foreigner can do is very vague. Cutting your own lawn can be considered against the law, but the police around where I live have seen me out working in the rice fields clearing brush and helping with the planting. They said they had never seen a farang do hard work. There was also a Aussy that started a bar out in the sticks. The police told him as long as he did not serve Thais' they would not bother him. The funny thing is they come and buy his imported beer for themselves. But again TiT. I have heard of people getting busted for going behind the wife's bar to change the music.
Virtually all the cases where people get busted are due to informants, often their fellow Westerners.
Excellent video!
Man I like your videos and it’s entertaining. About the negative comments, I think it comes from jealousy 🙂 Keep it up and also you can always find something good in the bad comments, gives you content to explain it in your videos😄 I don’t know shit about cars either, been driving in the UK for over 5 years. I am from Europe. Gathering all the infos to make the big step one day and move to Thailand🙂
I'd get new front tires first. Have them balanced. Half the time that fixes front end wobble.
I have specific questions on your cacao. Do you have it tested for Lead and cadmium? What is the flavonoids level. Are you adding flavonoids to the process?
I have the same issues with Honey. Fortunately I’ve found a local source that’s reputable
We test for lead and cadmium and pesticide residues - we do not add flavonoids 🙏👍
Those drive shafts won’t be cheap. That play in the cv’s (constant velocity joints) is supposed to be there as they change length as the suspension travels up and down. Most likely issues will be bottom arms, the flat triangular shaped plates with a ball joint connecting to the hub. In the past you could change just the bottom ball joints but now they’re part of the bottom arms so you have to replace the whole thing.
Very interesting video, can’t believe you attract so many negative people. Why do they even watch 🤔
I really don’t know mate but it makes for interesting rebuttal content 😁
@@thenakedguru those mechanics didn’t look confident in pinpointing the issue. They could suggest several costly fixes before they solve the issue. I’ve had tyres go out of shape in Thailand, never heard of it before but it was a fact, very strange.
Could also just be a wheel/tyre out of balance which would be a cheap fix. Interested to see your next update on the mighty Mazda 🤞
ill keep you updated!
I can advise you to not take my advice. The best advice ever. 555
😁😁😁👍👍
Free advice is nearly always worth exactly what you pay for it.
I'd say don't pay any attention to the bad/evil comments. Some people really don't have anything else to do with their free time and the fact that it's what they chose to do with it speaks for itself. Life goes on 😊
Absolutely my friend, too many people put negative comments out of emotion not out of intelligence
Food I am missing in Thailand is with a lot of fibers...so let me know about "lentils", "corns "..;either your company or another. Plus, is it possible to get it directly shipped by bags anywhere in Thailand ?
I know you said you don't usually cover it but you must have a lot of experience with your marriage visa. Could you make a video about your experience with that?
Yeah next time i renew i can go through it, cheers
could the TH-cam be registered to Mo and she to receive the income, so not requiring you to worry so much about the work permit? (I wonder if this an option for Thai-expat couples)
We started out that route, but from our advice it is the foreigner still on camera generating the income and particularly with sponsors this could be an issue, there has never been a case that I know of against a TH-camr for working however 🙏👍
@@thenakedguru yes thanks. p.s. although this is not the visa channel, happy to hear your thoughts and monitor progress on the "DTV" visa as it happens, and how this is affecting the situation, both in terms of numbers of remote expat workers and their activities. for me it is appealing but the bank balance requirement makes it only open to posh lads and lasses
@@thenakedguru Wish you all the best with this TH-cam channel, but that's why I don't do that stuff :D
Imo every Western TH-camr making $$$ with it should need a work permit because it's clearly work if you make money. But again if they don't care about it then it's fine :)
But reggie5's idea is in general the right idea but hard todo when you have to be public in front of a camera.
@@reggie5yeah my initial thoughts on it is that it could be great for TH-camrs but it’s early days. If it ends up checking out I may even consider it down the line as a cheaper option to maintaining work authorization via company 👍
I'm so happy you are getting it fixed. I did take it that you were going to keep driving. I was very worried about you.
Yes finished soon 😁😁🙏🙏
God bless you all always ❤❤
I thought that western You Tubers living in Thailand with a Thai wife or girlfriend put their You Tube account in their name.
Oddly enough I actually am a Tax Adviser and do have a few clients living abroad including Thailand and Cambodia.
Situations include British citizens being resident in the UK on paper; on the payroll of UK companies to get qualifying years for the UK state pension; operating from abroad but using an English limited company.
This is one strategy but if the law as I understand it is followed and enforced this would likely not cover a farang talking about sponsors and working without a permit. The truth is it has never happened yet so we can’t really know, just my 2 cents 👍
Great Walk and Talk again here Ryan. Yes, working in Thailand is something I wish I could do part time. One YT channel has an English farang man who claims on camera that he is the "builder". Also he is advertising himself to farangs who are doing a build so is compensated. One of the commenters on your new build suggested "hiring" this farang is how I found him. The other strange thing here in Pattaya are the many "Indians" at restaurants, running restaurants, and actually in plain sight making "Turkish kebabs" at their restaurant/street food stalls. No problem to me, yet seems odd that they are not required to hire Thais, as all other restaurants I have seen are staffed by Thais. Possibly these are all Thai-Indian citizens related to the many Indians who became citizens back in the 1920's ... Interesting tax discussion, good to know you are all "legal" and doing it the right way Ryan and Mo. Peace and Love Y'all
Cheers brother - not sure if you saw but I give a more personal view on this in the patreon and members section that you can watch. 🙏🙏
@@thenakedguru Thanks. will check it out
If you do crypto, do you qualify for a new style DTV, or should you stay as you are? What do you think? Not after advice just common sense?
I may qualify through TH-cam
I don’t imagine crypto will qualify but I really don’t know
I would probably move to DTV if it turns out TH-cam qualifies 👍
I know nothing about cars either mate, and I am in no way ashamed to admit it. Never been interested in at all, it's what you pay trained mechanics for, so what's the problem? I'll fix your layer 3 WAN for you, including routing, servers, storage and infrastructure, as well as your complex international SDWAN configurations, but hey, that's what I've been trained to do for nearly 30 years. Everyone to their own!
Hi Ryan. Enjoy your content on life in Rural Thailand. I have a few questions. How can I get in contact with you?
My email is thenakedguruexperience@gmail.com 👍
Might be a stupid question is the vpn only for pc or could I share it with my phone or smart tv? Thanks
Yes to the phone
Yes, you can use a VPN on your smart TV. Here are a few methods to do so:
1. **Using a VPN-enabled router:** This method ensures that all devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, including your smart TV, use the VPN. You'll need to configure your router with the VPN settings provided by your VPN service.
2. **Smart DNS services:** Some VPN providers offer Smart DNS as part of their service, which can be set up directly on your smart TV. This method doesn't encrypt your traffic but allows you to access geo-restricted content.
3. **VPN apps on Smart TVs:** If your smart TV runs on Android TV, you can download and install a VPN app directly from the Google Play Store.
4. **Sharing a VPN connection from a PC or Mac:** You can share your computer's VPN connection with your smart TV via an Ethernet cable or by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot from your computer.
Good move choosing bitcoin and Tesla as your retirement bags.. two uncorrelated assets that have loads of potential upside. The future looks good for both.
yeah i pair trade MSTR and Tesla with my trade bag, stack sats
@@thenakedguru haha no way! Me too... I use my UK ISA to swap tax free.. current range is to swap to MSTR at around 5:1 and swap back to Tesla at around 9:1. Free shares! We're at around 8:1 now, so hopefully there will be a good opportunity to swap from MSTR to Tesla in the next week or so.
I don't suppose you're part of the IA community?
yeah im a patron and learned it all from James, also use the trading 212 ISA in UK. Only thing I m thinking at the moment is if this is the run for BTC its not a good time to be out of MSTR esp with the split coming too!
Yeah, I know what you mean about BTC.. I only swap tiny bits of my MSTR and Tesla. I have a 20% pair trading bag and an 80% HODL bag. Too risky to be swapping large amounts as you don't wanna miss out if one of the assets decides to on a big run.
normaly the woble is no problem. not dangerous. But he says a wishbone is broken???? its very very rare it brakes... he mean the rubbers are worn? just change the rubbers. Did you see actually the METAL crack?????? Drivechafts gives no problem in a woble, they don't change the allignment, rubers do, the position from the wheel changes as teh hole is bigger, the wheel goes to the outside by the weigth. changing its line on the tarmac, and by each bump the bolts in the rubbers go back to the center, this is the woble you feel or hear. no danger. just change the rubbers. you can ask me anything about mechanic or construction. and a few other things. don't ask me things about iphones.
Its great that u feel the need to share ure personal information , but please don't think you have to , I personally don't need to know , I watch ure chanel for your interesting lifestyle , people's personal finance is their business I think , anyway it's your channel 👍✌

@@thenakedguru Thank you very much Ryan.🙂🙂
Nice hat 👍
thank you kindly Richard!
What app do you use for your Bitcoin/ Tesla ? UK
I can buy BTC P2P from my Thai accounts
In UK I use SwissBorg for BTC and trading 212 for my stocks 👍
Thanks for your reply. I’m 30 years old and have a future ambition to move to Thailand so always thinking of ways for my money to work the best % ^ for my future.
Good man.👍
cheers my friend!
What about a visa for remote work?
You tube being American owned, viewed internationally. Like working for a online your a company overseas, no one would even know about those jobs or managing a company in another country.
Everyone would just thing you spend to much time on a PC inside.
It's good to know how to play the tax game. So you can colour to the edge of the lines without going over.
Do you not pay personal tax on your income after business tax? In NZ we pay 28% in business (of course deductions) then about 30, 33 or 38% for personal drawings depending how well your doing.
So after seeing your monthly gross and smiling then at the end of it you get equivalent of the lost change in the hand 🤬and noticing all the degrading tax funded systems in the country.
My concern is adding to that another tax from another country that NZ doesn't have a deal with. 20% flat rate personal tax Cambodia for example after 6 months sounds not too bad, I don't think I could swing "staff" accommodation and expenses 🤞
If I could only 20% tax on pocket money 😁🥳👍
looks like the DTV could be a visa for remote work which wouldnt require a company
FYI, when I click on a video if it doesn't address the headline/title/thumbnail right away, I click right off.
Thanks for the info, thats why I put chapters for the impatient
Since Musk called one of the men who helped rescue the Thai school boys stuck in a cave “pedoguy”, I was done with Musk and Tesla. Since then, I would not drive a Tesla even if someone paid me. Musk might be smart, but he is also an extreme narcissist. I won’t say anything else because this is a channel generally free of politics, which I value. At any rate, good luck with your Tesla investment. Not a bad company, but not by any stretch unique anymore either.
I didn’t know about this actually Florian 🙏
