Pattaya Reports

[Cusland]

I had a Nightmare. I'm at interview trying to explain how my USA Preferred stock dividends is qualified meaning in USA no tax. Somchai say this not USA and say I pay $2,000. If not pay cannot cum Thailand. Hahaha 🤣. Hahaha.

Could I think this scenario is possible. Hell Yes.

I faced major corruption in trying to get my EZ peady 30 day extension in this last trip.

Thought it was a one off then I saw post on ASEAN News the exact same thing that happened to me happened to the Poster.

To any of the big accounting firms. They are adamant no change for anyone with a double taxation treaty. Do you really think your American bank is sending info to the Thai tax authorities? FFS. Biggest non event ever. It's not aimed at farangs. Why don't you read a little more or speak to one of the big accountancy firms.

This year is the year to watch your days in Thailand to not fall under Residency status.

My fear is next year is when all the Chaos will start for those Deemed Tax Residents.

Ah, I see. Then it is interesting that there is no mention on the Thai Immigration website that officially warns or notifies us that we'd better start counting the days we live here for the purposes of tax liability for this year. At least, I did not see one yet.

Longtime: Yeha most would say 2 pops and a night. Always ASK. Before would be around 12 hours with you (nighttime) but these days some say 2 hours is LT. So ASK ASK ASK.

For your other issue. No need to involve the hotel. And if you did nothing (aka still dress) just kick her out and give her 100 THB for the motorbike. If you already did something. Aka complain afterwards. Pay the girl and cut your losses.

Thanks, for the tips. Some of the stunners on TF often ask ' How much are you paying me? I don't get that ask from non-stunners. The non-stunners are 7 to 9, out of 10, but they are not stunners, 9 and above. Off course they get upset if they don't like the price I quote. I had one girl ask 20 K. Off course I am not going to pay that, but I am sure there is a sucker who will.

Pricing question: I plan to try WS and LK agogos tomorrow. Next day, I will try the GCs. Is the pricing more standardized there? What should I expect?

I have a strong hunch this tax thing will be very short lived. I think it will be too complicated to administer in the long term.

May I suggest your next name change: SixMonths.

Say its Jan. 2025. Immigration computers Flags you for staying 200 days in 2024.

Immigration ask for Tax Return cleareance. You say no HAB. Going to do it later.

Will Somchai let you go.

Playing with FIRE meThink.

Could I be crying like a little chicken. Yes!

We shall see how it turns out.

As of yesterday on the Thai Immigration website there was no change in the instructions or the list of documents required in order to extend an O-A Non Immigrant (Long Stay) visa vs last year. No mention at all of tax information, tax documents, anything.

I will be extending mine in a few months. Unless I see a change on their website, I suppose the Immigration Officer will just be springing a big surprise about it on me and everyone else there for the same purpose.

Of course, I will check again a day or two before I go and print out the full instructions so we can all have a fine time comparing notes.

2 months in Brazil and taking a Thai girl. There's a first. Guess hobbying sucks in Brazil now.

KKK! Either the OP is out of his mind and has a lot of money to burn or he is in love with his Thai girl. Taking a Thai girl to Brazil is like flying a dump truck of sand to the beach and paying for the freight. But in all fairness, I have entertained the idea of taking my favorite Sao Paulo girl to Thailand. My fantasy daydream lasts for about a minute or so, however.

Hello, I'm in Pattaya now.

(1) long time: All my long time offers have been for two shots only. Is this the norm? How many hours is long time typically? If it's whole night, why do girls say more than 2 shots cost more? Note: I have only done short time.



(2) send a girl back: a freelancer came over from thai friendly, and she did not agree to perform certain acts we had discussed. She said she doesn't like to kiss. I wanted to send her home but wasn't sure how to do that (tell hotel? What to pay for taxi? What to pay her to leave without any drama? It was a mediocre experience as I went through with it. Specifically, what is the way to kick her out when she does not agree to perform the things we discussed?

Thanks for the reply.

The costs add up travelling with a girl with airfare, food and money to the girl. I will stick to ST LOL.

Actually, if you go with a lady Long Time, you have to pay for hotel, food and money. The marginal cost of the travel is airfare.

For short trips, it's not much money.

[Forty Drinks]

So you're not going to stay more after they cut some taxes on some alcohol sales?

Shit, you're going to miss something.

They thought they're going to bring visitors in with this idea alone.

It's If I take a gogo girl to Japan or Korea I don't feel it's necessary to pay the girl over and above the airfare, hotel, and food. There would be no shortage of girls who would go with you too

I don't think there are many girls, who's job is earning money from granting their companionship time and assorted services, ready to cut their income for one week or more with no earning.

Unless it is her holiday time for the year.

Maybe she accepts monetary compensation she doesn't really need but "why not? If a sucker wants to pay. Let him pay".

True the P4 P scene in Japan is rather costly, complicated and certainly not made of LT's.

Not trying to Flex but I've been saying Business is BAD. Really isn't hard ro see.

I have no Agenda I call them like I see them.

Its only going to get worse too.

This tax thing is goinh to make me stay 6 months instead of 11.

To get a tax ID number which you need to file a tax return you need a Certificate of Residency. You can't get a certificate until you do at least one 90 day report. Looks Complicated.

Its a Freak Show.

Will I then need to show Somchai my $200,000 income. Its going to take 20 hours to go over.

Yes they took over the place so that would include the lease.

And no they did not open yet because of the amount of mongers in town. This high season is bad. There are some good days for all. But ALL my sources complain about lack of girls and punters!

My bet (not officially confirmed) is that Dollhouse opens after the restaurants are finished and Sapphire CLUB opens. So when Soi15 gets more attractive for foottraffic.
