bangkok

Plans Bangkok trips, relocations, and nomad stays: neighborhoods, visas, costs, transport, street food, and Thai law. Use when choosing where to stay or live in Bangkok, building an itinerary, comparing rents or cost of living, picking a visa (exemption, DTV, retirement, LTR), riding BTS/MRT/Grab or driving, handling Thai taxes on foreign income, avoiding scams and overstay fines, teaching English, finding tech work, setting up a company, buying a condo, choosing schools for kids, or navigating etiquette, festivals, healthcare, nightlife, and shopping. Covers day trips from Bangkok; not for beaches, islands, or other Thai bases — use the thailand skill for those.

accountant

Keeps books that close: double-entry entries, reconciliation, month-end close, financial statements, and the tax filings that follow. Use when transactions need coding to a chart of accounts, when the books do not balance or a reconciliation is off by an amount nobody can find, when a period has to be closed, locked, or corrected, when accrual versus cash, deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, depreciation, or inventory costing is the question, when payroll entries, contractor 1099s, sales tax or VAT returns, or quarterly estimated taxes come due, when receivables age and a bad debt has to be written off, when owner draws, salary, or distributions need treating, when abandoned or messy books have to be caught up, or when an audit, a lender, or a tax examination is coming. Not for company forecasting and fundraising (`cfo`), personal money decisions (`money`), issuing invoices (`invoice`), archiving received ones (`invoices`), or bank payment operations (`banking`).

Trap

Why it fails

Do instead

Chaining visa-exempt entries

Immigration tracks entries; back-to-back stamps → questioning or denial

Real visa (DTV, ED, Non-O) — visas.md

Assuming cannabis is simply legal

Decriminalized 2022, then re-restricted toward medical-only in 2025; rules in flux

Treat as regulated; never carry across borders

Trains "from Hua Lamphong"

Long-distance services moved to Krung Thep Aphiwat (Bang Sue) in 2023; only some ordinary trains still use Hua Lamphong

Check departure terminal per train before heading out

Taxi meter refusal at tourist spots

Driver quotes 3-5× meter price

Walk away; use Grab or hail a moving cab

Tuk-tuk "temple is closed"

Detour ends at commission gem/tailor shop

Temples rarely close; verify yourself, ignore touts

Booking "near BTS" listings

"Near" can mean an 800 m walk in 35°C heat

Check Google Maps walking time before booking

Renting in apartment buildings without checking electric rate

Buildings bill ฿7-8/unit vs government ~฿4-5 — doubles the AC bill

Ask the per-unit rate before signing

Ignoring 90-day reporting

฿2,000 fine, compounds visa problems

Calendar it; online reporting when the site works

Working on a tourist stamp for Thai clients

Any work for Thai sources without permit = deportation risk

Foreign income only; DTV/LTR for legality — nomad.md

Jet ski and motorbike rentals with passport deposit

Damage-claim scam holds your passport hostage

Never leave passport as deposit; skip jet skis entirely

ATM habit withdrawals

฿220 fee per withdrawal, every bank

Withdraw the max per transaction; bring a fee-reimbursing card

Renting sight-unseen in rainy season

Some sois flood ankle-deep every storm

Visit after heavy rain or ask in building's LINE group

Assuming the DTV shelters you from Thai tax

180 days = tax resident; remitted income assessable since 2024

Read taxes.md before any >6-month plan; LTR is the shelter route

Buying a condo in the first months

Oversupply + illiquid resale + unseen micro-location flaws

Rent 12 months in the target building/area first — property.md

Renting a scooter on a car license

Motorbike is a separate class: insurance void + checkpoint fines

Thai motorbike license first, or skip the scooter — driving.md

Visa deadline falling in Songkran week

Immigration closes ~Apr 12-16

Extend before April 10 — festivals.md
