Hi, I would like to ask some information about alcohol in Thailand.Any Fchatters who are able to discuss about it. Just wanted to know abt the taxes and how about doing work in Thailand. Thanks
Hi D: What do you want to know about Thailand? Do you mean like drinking alcohol in Thailand? I lived there from 97 to 01. I just sold my home there last week but have always gone back for several months a year and will continue to do so. I lived and worked there. As far as taxes go, I paid no Thai taxes and claimed my income oin the US. You were able to exempt about 77K when I was there and everything over that it was up to you to figure out deductions to not pay on the remainder. Unless you have a foreign company arranging your work permits it is very hard to obtain one. Thailand is very protective regarding jobs. It is a wonderful palce to live. A ton of plaes to travel to for vacations and a great place to party. I consider it a miserable place to owna Ferrari though due to the congestion in the city and the road conditions. I am sure my Thai friends will disagree with me though. Good luck
