Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

I'm surprised nobody has actually posted any info from the RD on what is expected. RD will be looking at all income from overseas, Thais and expats (anyone residing here 180 days of the year) <snip> In other words, nothing has changed except the bit about when the income is earned. Those of us with...

Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand

It will never happen! https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/2474137/ministry-urged-to-cut-power-reserve I can't post this article, maybe somebody can? The EGAT power reserve, that is the generating capacity over the present demand, is around 40%--the highest in the world! That is not necessa...

Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand

For what it’s worth, the following is just my opinion. I cannot see how it is possible to calculate a ROI; there are just too many unknown variables. Sizing the system and ROI calculation was kind of easy for myself. Just took our largest PEA bills, and made sure the system was enough to provide at...

Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand

Don't know if I'm allowed post a link, as I can't post HH forum links where this info is.

BUT ... if you Google this "Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)" ... I'm pretty sure you can find it, and that's our experience with solar.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

I may not agree with your views on EV ownership @2/cb but I of course support your right to post your views . 👌👍 I don't, as his opinions are misleading and based on nothing but his bias of all things BEV.

Re: All imported goods now face 7% VAT

Whenever I order from Lazada I look to see where it is coming from, most of the time if it says overseas it will be China and I don't order. I look for a local retailer or not at all. Mainly because of time constraints. Much improved from days past. Last item ordered, a camera, ordered 16th in the ...

Re: All imported goods now face 7% VAT

No real surprise there, as enjoyed tax free for so long and actually surprised it wasn't done years ago. Just hope the keep the VAT discount at 7% and not go to 10%. They're learning from the west/G20s, tax everything you can, as much as you can, while you can. Tax Spend Pocket, Tax Spend Pocket, ri...

Re: Speed Cameras

I can think of at least 500 X 2 reasons why.

Maybe there's a couple busy side sois entering Phetkasem. Another heads up, if in the 120 kph zones, and you see the 90 kph posted for upcoming U-turn, you need to slow down, as reading they've been enforcing that lately.
