  1. Thai-SS = social security provided by Thai government, I'm not clear on what is offered PITA= pain in the ass COR = certificate of residency (a letter issued by Thai Imm. to prove your home address)
  2. Or.... to give the banks your Thai tax ID and ask them to stop the withholding. Unfortunately, I think you cannot stop the withholding of tax from interest earned on fixed deposit accounts.
  3. I don't follow your logic in this statement. I have lived in LOS for 4 years and never filed taxes here. No income was remitted in the same year as it was earned. I got a tax ID so I could open a bank account that earned much better interest than the typical savings account. I spent only about 15 minutes in the TRD office to get my free Thai tax ID. Having a Thai tax ID has not cost me anything. It does save me the trouble of filing a yearly tax form to request a refund of tax withheld from bank interest payments.
  4. In my case, I had the initial two year Thai license that was issued easily when I showed them my valid US license. I didn't pay attention and my Thai license expired more than a year before I went to renew it. In this scenario I would have to waste most of a day sitting through those boring videos to renew my license. They told me I couldn't use my still valid US license as a shortcut to getting my Thai license re-issued. I believe that is what the sentence I quoted above is telling us.
  5. Ya just gotta love such "certainty" from those laboring beyond their ken.
  6. Definitely true... the intent of my post was to suggest that if someone wants good panang they should choose a restaurant focusing on central Thailand cuisine.
  7. It would be more accurate if I had said that panang is much more common in central Thailand. My wife has explained to me that many central Thai dishes were heavily influenced by Malaysian cuisine.
  8. Your fantasies are overpowering your reasoning abilities which is the root cause of your straw clutching tendency.
  9. If Trump wins it will only occur because of the Electoral College. He will not win the "majority" of votes for President.
  10. I can see how your imagination is already very busy explaining away Trump's idiotic rants.
  11. If setting up a new UltraMobile, the sim needs to be installed in a phone and then connected to their network in the US. AFAIK they only offer service via sim. I have one and use True on an esim simultaneously for local Thai service. I ordered an UltraMobile sim sent to my US based friend who registered it for me and then sent it to me in Thailand. It's working great in my iPhone XR.
  12. Well then..... you need: https://memory.ucsf.edu/treatments-stays/medications-dementia/complementary-alternative-medicine
  13. He does understand very well how constantly repeating lies can "fool some of the people all the time".
  14. The sign posted at CM 2nd floor by the desk to apply for the "letter" of residency
  15. My last two did state the reason. One was for license renewal and the other was to open a bank account. Since I can't read Thai, I accidentally gave the bank the one intended for DLT and they wouldn't accept it.
  16. what exactly does that story from Ohio have to do with VP Harris?
  17. That makes him definitely qualified to identify losers.
  18. You may have some part of the truth, but certainly not all. Your phrasing indicates you're over confident in your abilities to discern the truth from afar.
  19. I put all my recyclables in the correct receptacle ... not in my body. If you look hard enough, you can find a book somewhere that discusses your favorite flavor of fantasy. Just remember ALL books are written by faulty humans.
  20. Because many fruits contain them in amounts that do not cause health issues when the whole edible fruit is eaten.
  21. For those technically inclined you can test drive Apple's MacOS if you have vanilla mid-level Intel hardware. Look for instructions on how to create a Hackintosh. That was my introduction to the Apple universe. I managed to avoid paying the Apple "tax" on hardware by getting a free iMac from a generous casino and then buying a used Mac Mini for my wife. Unfortunately my iMac is now too old to "officially" run Sequoia but will probably use OCLP to run it unofficially. Since it will be equivalent to a new install, I don't think I need to worry about first installing 14.7. I could never go back to Windows.... the bundled Mac apps are so much better than MSoft's or Android's.
  22. You're somewhat behind on the technology. There are thunderbolt monitors that allow you to daisy chain them together.
  23. As you can see.... I gave an explanation of why it's relevant if you have a Citibank account.... .... and you have never (in this topic) stated if you have a Citibank account.
