I appreciate that I am too much of a westerner here, a little naive maybe too. I am sure it goes off in most places.

I never thought of that, fly 13hrs on a plane and go and see a film, must be a new craze, while I am on the plane I have a choice of around 9 films, so why bother to land, I could keep flying and be in heaven. Prick Any need for this? Admin, I suggest that these derogatory remarks are removed. If s...

It may make it a little easier as my girlfriend is Thai. It would be the usual 49/51 split. So this would not cause too much trouble in this instance.

Are there any more thoughts on a combined service of Thai and English tax matters? Are there any people in here that have a Thai business and sends mote back home or vice versa?

I would be interested to know what tax you currently pay.

Cheers

How about we club together and get one set up, does not need to be a large cinema but surely if it was advertised well then it would be a goer, any thoughts?

It would be good as per previous suggestion to have categories on the site that has an FAQ section that would prevent duplication of questions. Maybe this could be assigned to volunteers to prevent too much work being thrown on the admin team?

Count me in, again as mentioned else where I have the complete law of Thailand, it is very sketch like China but most of it is variable. It is a must to have clear defined, and concise laws in this forum. A section on the following matters may also be useful to prevent the oh so many posts going out...

If you bring the money from overseas you wont have to pay tax on it in Thailand. You only pay tax on what you earn here. I'm not sure how much tax the company has to pay but I think its nominal, maybe someone with an operational company holding land can shed some light? In any country, you can only...

Personally, I'm not a great believer in further education. I've had so many friends who have wasted their time at university, only to get a dead end job at the end of it. My friend's kids these days tend to go to university, get into a serious amount of debt and end up working in Tesco’s or ASDA ...

Nomad, Thanks for the info, do you use Wan? Many businesses in Hua Hin use a accounting firm run by a lady named Wan. She has a large practice with some employees. Drop by the U-turn bar and get her number from Craig. Does Wan deal with the UK tax system as well as Thai. My aim would be to set up an...

If the rate of interest is 4.75% for a higher account, even if it is in a Thai nationals name, what are the taxation on this that the bank charges or is this done at the end of the year. Reason I ask is that you get 5% in the UK and will b...
