This is only my opinion but it is based on the premise of equitable taxation. There are two components to withdrawals from Roth accounts: principal and income/profit. US won't tax either if withdrawals meet the required qualifications. Since Thailand doesn't recognize the special status of a US Roth account, they should only tax the income portion that has been earned since Jan 1, 2024. The principal and pre-2024 income portions should not be assessable income for Thai tax.

If you're referring to my suggestion to use a second account for your private pensions, you've completely misunderstood the intent. I assumed those reading these tax threads are aware that commingling of your funds can confuse the Thai taxing authorities. The intent of my suggestion was to reduce the commingling of your taxable pension benefits and your non-taxable SS benefits in your monthly transfers of 65K ฿. Doing so will make it much easier to provide accurate substantiation of your self assessments used to prepare any Thai tax filing.

Arsenic is 100% natural. Natural is a 100% useless characteristic.

It is pretty clear that you haven't spent much time on a farm with livestock. Calves are usually weaned at about 3 months or when they weigh about 100 Kg.... that's a long way from being a large bovine.

I don't think any Thai bank will want to impede the transfer of many millions of ฿ into Thailand from other nations.

Did you happen to notice the title of this thread?

I would recommend that you set up your US based accounts so that you have documentation that all (or as much as is possible) of the transfers to Thailand are funded by SS benefits. Doing this should minimize the amount of your transfers that are assessable income subject to Thai income tax. If you are married to a Thai, the imposition of Thai PIT now makes extensions based on marriage much more attractive than before.

Merely out of curiosity, does the citizenship/Immigration status matter?

I'm also interested in sourcing some seeds for my favorite Western vegetables. An online source would be great.

This makes it clear that the yellow streak guy is wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_conviction#:~:text=In law%2C post conviction refers,with sentencing the guilty party.

I love how the Trumpists can blurt out an opinion of few words yet still manage to include denigration, exaggeration and false machismo.

Since I never need an agent in dealing with CM Imm. I never thought to ask the Irishman if he had used an agent to get his CoR. Maybe the OP can try to get the CoR himself and if that goes sideways walk across the street and ask the agency if they could get one for him.

Set a calendar event in your phone so you can send @Hanaguma a reminder a year from now of his naive opinion. Best to include an interesting recipe for crow.

I renewed my 2 yr license in CM last week. I ran into an Irishman staying in a hostel while on a visa exemption. CM Imm. had given him a CoR and DLT was giving him his initial Thai license.

Finally... you understand.

you can just add her to your ignore list.... here, I'll show you how it works.

This thread will nicely round out my ignore list, I'm sure.

... that's probably true... but not because there are more Trumpists than liberals. A likely explanation is that the thin-skinned Trumpists cannot help but defend their cult leader while many left leaning members have correctly assessed that posts by the Trumpists are just silly noise that is best ignored.

a slight correction "nothing useful or needed to give to the world"

I don't think personal trust accounts are possible in Thailand. Perhaps the closest you can come to that is a fixed term annuity with your GF's niece as the beneficiary. I'm not well informed on annuities so my suggestion should only be used as a basis for inquiry to a better source.

Many are saying they prefer cackling to ranting and lying.

If your US license(s) are still valid, DLT will issue you car and motorcycle licenses good for 2 years. Get a medical certificate (100-200฿) , copies of passport ID page, last extension stamp and a certificate of residence from Thai Imm. It takes 1-2 hours only. At renewal with the same documentation you'll get 5 year licenses. I think the DLT will charge you 750 ฿ for both licenses when issued and renewed.

It's not really so complicated. Caloric intake has greatly increased and caloric expenditure has greatly decreased. Also a marked shift of calories from vegetables and fruit to meat, sugar and fats.

I would gladly wager that the exigency driving Biden's choice of VP was the need to defeat Trump not checking a DEI box.

So.... no worries then!
