Be Patient. (btw you had the possibility to swap not long time ago at 1.02/1.03)..

At the Latest? We are in Q2 2025 now... so you maybe want to say at the EARLIEST possible.

Some differences between BKK and PP : Condos in PP : limited choices, low quality, and/or overpriced — a perfect market for Chinese money launderers. Restaurants, bars, and other options: probably 50 times fewer than in Bangkok. Much less developed, everything is more complicated than in...

Morality : As long as it’s not necessary, there’s no need to have a Thai bank account or put money into one.

I can understand it, but honestly, Cambodia (PP) is boring AF compared to TH/Bangkok. The service is 10 levels lower, food is just okay, and there’s honestly nothing to do. Sure, no CRS, it’s corrupt as hell, and people are nice (and cheap). But what else is there, really, for living?

Hope everyone in Thailand (especially in BKK, as far as I know) is safe… Today was absolutely crazy. I was in the shower when the earthquake hit, on the 39th floor… Everything started falling—paint, tiles, a door—and one of my bathrooms is completely destroyed. But I’m safe, and that’s what...

Can you share some experiences / process with Laos (as a TH resident) ?

G1 category : More than 365 days holding (tax free) G category : Less than 365 days holding = 28% tax.

Crypto gains must be declared in Portugal (even if held for more than 365 days). However, they wouldn’t be taxed.

Or even currently 6.5% in USD on Kraken (locked for 30 days, otherwise 4.25%).

Are you using your Cambodian account (USD or Riel) to pay in TH (card or QR code)? I haven't tried yet, but the exchange rates seem very close to the interbank rate..

Why submit a tax return in Cambodia/Laos if you just have a bank accounts there but no spending time there / no tax resident ?

Visa yes.

I was physically in PP, I just showed my (european) passport. Nothing else.

I think if you dont live there you can just take any approved basic insurance through this website : insurancemarket.ae Mostly probably you can find something around 500$ a year..
