Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Newton York]

How true if this? If you can't trust some white guy reporting news on Singapore's number one tv channel, who can you trust?

First of all, this was over 3 years ago, I'm sure things are much better in Thailand now. All I know is, where I was and where I am now sucks, and Thailand is awesome, especially Bangkok. When you've been to Bangkok, how can any of this be happening? But check it out though, the chick in the report is 38 while her husband is 63? Like what? And he's not even a sexpat guy, he's just some village farmer dude. What's going on? She's not attractive at all, the type that old, bald, fat and ugly sexpat Danny Devito types like to hang out with. When I watch reports like this, I just get so confused. I tell ya though fellas, if all this be true, why aren't more of us making the most of it? Just saying. Why live like some asshole in the west, when you can be almost god like in south east Asia? Sure, don't believe me, just means more chicks for me, if I get there in time. But no worries, I won't be alive for long, Beelzebub willing I'll get a few months there before my number is up. HA!

But if what this douchebag digital nomad type is saying is true, poop people in Thailand choose to live that way? If you can't trust a sexpat youtuber guy like this, who can you trust? He walked all over Klong Toey, so he must know what he's talking about. So no poverty in Thailand? I don't know fellas, if that were true, then how can we have as many chicks to pick from to pay for sex? If things were well financially for Thais, we'd be shit out of luck when it comes to the hobby. It'd be like Sweden or some such. It's tough to know the truth these days. All I know is when I was in Bangkok, it was awesome every day. I guess much like politics around the world these days, the truth is whatever you want it to be. Everybody gets to live in their own little echo chamber now. Oh well. Maybe I should visit Klong Toey one day. It almost seems like it's own tourist destination now, some sort of poverty tourism thing. Tourists really have a way of taking advantage of everything and everyone. IF you're going to go to Thailand and exploit the locals, just pay for sex. Leave them alone when it comes to where they live. Come on dudes.

Look at this guy making blanket statements about Thai people specifically and Asian people in general. Like he's some expert. And he's probably making thousands just saying shit to the camera. Retired and living the dream. I'm actually so much older than him, but maybe I can do this too. I just got to get my way around the technology. I'm from the days of the rotary phone for gods sake, you young ones won't know what that is. Based on what he's saying, it sounds like there's almost no income gap, and a large middle class exist in Thailand. Which is what I thought! Thailand is indeed awesome. Great healthcare, jobs, education for all. I know I'll love it there. Even if I'm just there for a weeks at a time, semi retired and shit, I'll love it there. I just know it.

Anybody that complains about it is obviously doing it wrong. You fellas are probably jaded from enjoying paradise for too long, or suffering from 'grassisgreeneritis'. Sometimes, just sometimes, and especially with Thailand, you're actually on the other side of the grass, you're standing on the greener side, but you just can't see it. Take it from me, some poor schmuck stuck in the tri-state area, you got it made. Even these douchebag digital nomad types, they got it made.

Yes you can do that, but like you said if the Thai tax department monitors cash exchanges (have to provide your passport) when exchanging back to baht. Although yes that is something that will take a while to do. Not an easy task.

Easy peasy.

Withdraw cash from a foreign ATM using your US bank card. Then, change $ to baht in that country.

If I run short of cash in my Thai bank account in 2024, I will have to come with ways to have sufficient baht in Thailand without having to pay income tax in Thailand.

If you take any trips to neighboring countries, you can withdraw cash from ATMs and bring the cash into Thailand.

At some point, the tax department will monitor currency exchange transactions, but I don't think we are there yet.

Thank you. That is what I was looking for.

I only see 292 of your 474 posts dating back to Oct, 2017 when I click on "view forum posts" under your name.

However, if I do a search for a particular word in this case 'Phuket' I can see a post from August, 2017. Is this what you're looking for?

I wrote a post a long time ago about getting a visa renewel in phuket. I wrote what I needed etc. I went looking for it bc I need to get my visa renewed but the first bunch of my posts no longer are there. Does this place delete old posts after so long?

This is for those with no experiece. I needed to extend my visa. I have been here almost 1 month and did not get the visa extension at the airport. I am an American. I went to the immigration office at Phuket Town. It was the closest to me. All I had to do was fill out form, show passport, make a couple of copies of different pages of passport, get a passport photo and pay. The people at the immigration office were friendly and helpful. The process was quick.

Some things you will need are a pen, address of where you are staying, departure ticket and I think that was it. I didn't have departure ticket and it was not a problem at all. It cost me 1900 baht, plus 126 baht for photo and copies.

If leaving the US you can carry up to 10 K when departing on International flight. If more than you have to file FinCen form 105 with CBP at departure airport without problems or risking confiscation. I would be curious if this amount of money would be reported to country of arrival. I will always be making 3 trips a year so at minimum I can bring 30 K without worrying about taxes.

Did you do a search? There are several posts that you made about this.

I hope this helps anyone with worries. It was all in all quick and easy.

The guy at the desk at the gym I go to said he could get my visa extension from the immigration office for me and save me the trip. I paid him 2700 baht yesterday. Gave him my passport and photo. I got it back today. I wasnt aware things could be done this way.

To get my visa extended is it better to go the the immigration office in Bangkok or Pattaya? Which is usually quicker? I have only been to immigration office in Phuket and that was easy and quick. Also when I got to Thailand they only stamped me for one month. Is that how it works now? When I was here pre covid it was two months visa on arrival. Thanks for any advice.

RajPatela AKA Chan Chalupa AKA Mr. Simp AKA Forty Drinks. WTF!

Yo fellas lets help him out on his next ISG name.

I say Basketball, because he bounces around so much, and has so much dribble (oops, that should be drivel).

[Davey1965]

If I have this correct I can bring 20,000 USD without Declaration in to Thailand every tine I enter. If I want a ton of money in to Thailand I would keep my money in a Vietnam or Laos bank then bring in 20,000 USD for myself and each of the Thai girls I have taken away on a weekend trip. Same goes if I want to export money out of Thailand if I owned a profitable bar. Go on weekly trips with a bunch of Thai girls and it's 20,000 USD allowed to be taken out by each person.

Now certainly no one on here would be doing that, right?

For Gods sake how many times are you seriously going to change your name. You throw out your trademark "no offense"(ignorant catch phrase like yourself but catchy like a jingle), and haha's🤣 and think that no one will know you. If you truly are in the pussy capital of the world Pattaya then it's a damn shame how you've changed more names then you've gotten pussy this year. As you read this post you should be knee deep in some hot thai pussy taking pics and posting photos of wish you were here Coolie, not continually post bullshit, changing your name like dirty diapers.

INSANITY at its finest. Ooh Well, since you not going to stop here's a list of your next name on ISG to choose from. You're welcome👍.

Raw Dog 40-Ounce. Retard-Benard. Or how about Douchebag Tempura. Tiny Knuck-Knuck. MC Top Ramen. SuperFly Mc Nugget. Simp2 Pimp. HahaRaj.

I personally like Retard-Benard, HahaRaj or AllFluff McGruff🤣.

Yo fellas lets help him out on his next ISG name. Its got to be special for 2024👌.

And now back to your regular schedule program of Rants, Stupid Shit & Coronavirus in Thailand.

This deserves to go into the reports of distinction. You my man are talented. LOL.

[Coolie High]

I made a post that hasn't showed up yet.

A bit more. I wouldn't be surprised if a fellow member showed up on Soi 6 looking like he was attending Budens 2nd term inauguration.

Tuxedo and everything.

So in other Words who knows. Everything is Possible. Maybe we as a group should Dress better.

Thoughts Subcommittee.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Going on a date with a normal chick is not the same as hooker hunting. If I am going on a normal date then of course I may put on something decent. If I am going out to pick up hookers then there is no need.

Never said you wouldn't but you and I both know some guys in Pattaya would!

My statement is based on my experiences. yours may or may not be different. I know for a fact if I walk around Pattaya with long pants, a collared shirt, and dress shoes I get much more attention than in "slob" clothing. Even walking into gogo bars I visit often the girls' reactions are different. Now if I walked around Soi 25 and Beach Road I absolutely agree you can look like you have 5,000 baht to your name and no girl would think any less of you.

I never said my Freebie girl was a civilian so not sure how you came to that conclusion. I don't chase civilians.

Before it was always said that Koreans and Japanese get the best girls because they have small dicks, finish fucking fast, and pay a lot of money. Now you are telling us it is actually because they dress nice?

You've been around long enough to know a Thai girl says whatever they feel a guy wants to hear. If you're not Asian and a girl reads you as someone who isn't liking the fact that the Asians get the best looking girls she will say something negative towards Asians. She will say something negative about Americans, Brits, Indians, black, etc if you do not fit in those categories.

Do Asians have small dicks? I don't know I haven't really looked. Do Asian men finish faster than Farang? I'm guessing yes cause most Koreans and Japanese men Thai girls see are in their early 20's with little sex experience. Obviously they're going to finish up quicker than the average 60+ year old man from a non Asian country (or an Asian country for that matter). Do Asian men pay more? Possibly I don't keep track of their spending habits. They aren't permanent residents in Thailand and are here once or twice a year blowing all the disposable income they have in a week. But I'm not going to say a Japanese guy here as a Weekend Millionaire is going to spend more than a German man also here as a Weekend Millionaire. In fact, the opposite is way more likely as Germany has one of the highest earnings per capita in the world while Japan is among the lowest for G7 countries (my stereotypical conclusion about Japanese not unlike 333 stereotype).

The tax laws in Thailand are changing in 2024. For tax residents, you will have to pay income tax on money transferred into Thailand.

If I have this correct I can bring 20,000 USD without Declaration in to Thailand every tine I enter.
