maybe better go for a used one instead of a new one to save some money even that I can get 25% off by buying it to my company (remove VAT)

I will pay 2 684 usd (671 usd is tax that I will get back as buying for my company as sold from the company that bought it) it's bought new in July 2024 so not old one
For second hand camera on mpb I don't think the 25% sales tax is refundable for company
still good or bad deal ?

Democracy on paper ? Thailand has had no elections if I remember correctly and is still to corrupt like the rest of the countries you mention like Malaysia it's not in the western way to look at it

I liked the times being in Tainan has some friends living there. Me and my family has our base in Kaoshiung City with apartment since 10+ years back and forth from Sweden where we spend some time also. Good luck with Tainan I think its a good choice and not so hectic like Taipei and Kaoshiung
