But... the helmetless motorcycle riders aren't a source of the government's revenue. Without gov't revenue there will be no funds to be skimmed off to your account and your buddies. Skinny brown envelopes all 'round.

When we moved to CM from USA in 2020 we used International Sea & Air Shipping to handle our household goods in a 20 foot container. They handled the loading the container, transport to outbound port, container shipment, customs brokerage in Thailand, transport from port to house in Chiang Mai and unloading the container. Apart from the agent mis-communicating with the trucking company we were very happy with their service. I have a USA phone number for them: 516-492-3702 or 866-788-1090 https://internationalmoving.com/

The printed word is a much better source of news than TV, albeit a little bit slower.

Considering that the rest of the world's cuisine is considered as expat.... that seems like a drastic restriction. I just have to have some Greek, Italian or Turkish food about once a month.😋 Luckily my Thai wife agrees!

With the proper interface to the main computer bus, NVME is the fastest.

you can email Manila at: fbu.manila(at)ssa.gov I've had poor results with any interaction other than basic questions. Keep it simple.

Do you have an iron and a dry cotton rag? You can probably figure out the strategy.

About ½ of the US$ vs THB movement for the last 6 months is due to a weaker US $. Look at chart for USDX. https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy/charts

I simply cannot fathom why some posters would assume that the TRD would not want to receive from the Thai banks a list of every interest payment to a resident of Thailand. One excellent reason for TRD to do so is to ensure the Thai banks are following the law/regulations regarding withholding tax on that interest. TRD would also like to see if individuals are avoiding tax withholding by spreading their deposits amongst multiple banks so that they don't exceed 20K ฿ at any individual bank. It's clear to me that TRD has sufficient motivation to collect the record of interest payments.

Yes, I agree the contrast with your responses is stark.

Sounds like my guess is correct.... you don't have a good understanding of best practices for database management.

You obviously don't have a background in database management, software engineering or system analysis and design. The "problems" you've listed are well understood by competent software folks and are easily solved. NEXT

It's the quiet ones you gotta worry about!

So is your ignore list broken? Oh.... I know my posts are irresistible! 555

You have just agreed with what we have been saying. The TRD can associate the withholdings made on interest payments to an individual despite that individual not previously having a Thai tax ID. Also your story shows that the TRD already has the records of interest payments on file. It makes sense that TRD will give the filer a Thai tax ID because they are likely going to be filing again in the future.

no need to parse anything.... only compare.

The Thai banks have enough unique personal identifiers to send along with their reports of interest payouts. Passport numbers and full name are collected by the all Thai banks from foreigners.

Seen at my local HomePro. The pegboard was metal.

Good... your lack of response will imply your tacit approval. 555

I made no mention of the taxability of the interest reported to the TRD by Thai banks. The TRD will likely know (or have received a record of) all the interest amounts paid out by Thai banks to Thailand residents. The TRD would need that information to verify when a tax filer claims a refund of the withholdings from interest payments. I doubt that TRD would totally rely on the documentation the tax filer needs to include with his request for refund.

I was looking for an old post to see if there was some more content added to that thread later. In my Profile I clicked on "See my activity" and in the list was one post that was labelled opinion. That's the first time I've ever noticed such a label. Is that something new or have I just not been very observant?

Good..... that makes it very easy to talk behind your back. 555

Yes.... but she must meet some qualifications. She would have to be married to you and live in US with you for 5 years cumulative. I believe that if you were in the armed forces and stationed overseas for five years she could also qualify. For full details: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf
