For me, it's not expectation of fraud but a difference of opinion on what constitutes a quality solution/job.

You obviously know little about the subject matter in this topic. The Canada-Thai tax treaty specifies that only Canada has the right to tax Canada Pension and Old Age Supplement. No need to try and hide any transfers of those funds to Thailand. Canada will withhold what is determined to be the appropriate tax due before the money ever reaches any financial institution.

It seems you are a big fan of philandering.

that's exactly why your posts garner the yellow emojis. In fact, I've heard that the inventory of those emojis is running low, so please cut back.

My Thai wife is very good at befriending the local food vendors and then politely suggesting they reduce the amount of sugar/fat/MSG in the items we order. She often gets their phone number and calls in the orders for the "special" version that I then go pick up. If the flavor is not quite balanced to her liking we can adjust the salt or sugar ourselves using fish sauce and stevia.

as usual your post is at the lowest rung of useful content.

Only a misanthropic bot would be unmoved by #44's speech.

You're right! The course for the economy set by the last 3-4 years under Obama continued under Trump. Mostly because he was too busy golfing, directing government business to his own holdings, coordinating coverups and ingratiating himself with dictators, to screw it all up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/09/05/trump-obama-economy/

I have not set up the direct deposit of my Canadian benefits to a Thai bank. I can't help with any information about receiving CPP/OAS directly to a Thai bank. I just want to make sure that you know about filing a Section 217 Canadian tax return or an NR5 form to see if you can reduce the amount of Canadian tax withheld from your benefits. If you don't file either of the above tax forms 25% of your benefits will be withheld from any amounts sent to Thailand.

Since you already have an account at SCB, I recommend you check out their EZ Savings account. When I opened mine, SCB initially asked for a work permit but accepted my application when I told them that I cannot work in Thailand due to the Thai Immigration rules governing retirement extensions. I did need to give SCB my Thai tax ID. I used the SCB EZ Savings account (1.5%/year) for my 800k/400k account. That account has now bank book. CM Imm asked for a bank book but accepted account anyway. @Rob Browder has given you good advice on how to switch accounts/banks.

Initially, I had my 800K in a fixed account at Bangkok bank. I went to SCB and opened an EZ Savings account (1.5%/year). During the time I was required to only have 400K on deposit I moved 400K to SCB account and left 400K at Bangkok bank. I maintained those balances for a couple of months to show beyond doubt that there was no time that I didn't have 400K on deposit. On the termination date of the fixed account at Bangkok I moved the 400K from Bangkok account to SCB to meet the upcoming requirement to have 800K on deposit. When my extension was coming due I got letters and statements from both banks to show sufficient funds for the months required. After my extension was granted I closed the Bangkok bank fixed account. The Thai Imm. officer spent several minutes looking at the dates and balances to make sure I met the requirements at all times. I'm so glad that now that I'm on my pension, I can just get an income letter from my consulate and avoid these silly gyrations over bank balances.

@Thingamabob The hilarious part of this exchange is that you're probably the only reader that has missed the joke.

Interesting... how have you formed your opinions on transexuals? Is there something that you haven't mentioned?

The reason you don't arrive at logical conclusions is because you only analyze issues with very shallow thinking. Sure.... assault rifles contribute a small % of gun deaths. Most assault rifle deaths are amongst the easiest firearm deaths to prevent. The arguments often used to defend the sale of assault rifles are amongst the weakest the gun lobby has ever put forth. These two factors make an assault rifle ban one of the most reasonable steps towards lowering firearm deaths. An individual can greatly lower their risk of a death from a gun by: - avoiding drug activity - avoiding gang activity - avoiding people involved in theft, robbery and other property crimes There are not many options for people to avoid nutjobs with assault rifles.

that alone is a sufficient reason.

I hope you don't think that your argument here isn't going to broadcast your lack of coherent logic.

He's following in dear leader's footsteps and is practicing his Trumpglish.

Sure.... we can talk later.... but the problem is you, just like now, won't listen.

and when you have a fever your temperature hardly changes.

watch out for that mousetrap.

That's about the right time for crying babies to be put to bed.

The "fix" has been ignored for decades already. Climate scientists have been ringing the alarm bell for a long time but politicians have chosen to ignore it.
