I plan to move to Thailand but continue working in my present positions (teaching an online course and web consultant for small businesses); both of which could be done using phone and Internet / email communications. What would the US and Thai tax liabilities be? Would there be any deductions for US taxes for this type of situation?
WiiSays:
If you claim your tax home as Thailand, or qualify via the bona fide residence test or physical presence test then you have to pay taxes for the amount of income generated while physically present in Thailand. In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts. You can find out more about the tax benefits of being an overseas resident

During my last trip, I picked up a girl from a Walking Street gogo who it turned out was from Vietnam. Long story short, she had no rubbers, I was drunk and we ended up having unprotected sex. I am filled with anxiety and regret and am now really afraid that I may have caught some nasty STD or HIV. Touch wood, no symptoms on me at the moment. I will be going for a full and comprehensive screen in a couple of weeks. I just wanted to ask you about the STD and HIV situation in Pattaya, Walking Street in particular. Any figures or personal info you could enlighten me with? The girl mentioned that they go for monthly STD and HIV checks. This was further confirmed by the boss. What's the protocol and common practice of the gogo bars if the girls have STDs or HIV? I haven't done anything like this before and I feel really worried that I may have caught something from that encounter. I feel really stupid and irresponsible.
WiiSays:
Best guess is 1.5% HIV+ and maybe 10% carrying an STD of some sort
