I give this a 👍 also. A slight inconvenience that soundtrack is only Spanish with English subs.
Crime, love, betrayal, infidelity, revenge, moral dilemma, redemption.... I probably missed the kitchen sink part.
The funds in your possession prior to this past Jan.1 are already exempted from Thai tax forever (if the Thai gov't is to be relied upon for their past statements). You can just omit declaring those funds on any future tax filing but of course retain documentation proving your claim in case of audit.
Yes... that's how the self reporting method works. If you like to gamble for big stakes go for it. The resulting variance (AKA luck) would look something like:
small win
small win
small win
small win
HUGE LOSS
You and mr mong must have the long COVID symptom of loss of your sense of taste .... or ..... you're trapped in a very short cycle of palatable (to you) food choices. Plus you've got to learn how to use the Thai sauces to add a lot more variety of flavors.
Thanks to my wife's excellent knowledge of Thai cooking ingredients and skill I've learned to love literally hundreds of Thai dishes.
When my wife got fed up with getting the run around by local government employees, she whipped out her phone and faked a call to her BiL who was a high ranking bureaucrat. Soon, the irretrievable records were found and the "unresolvable" issue disappeared.
My wife had lived in the West for 40+ years by then and does not stand for lazy/incompetent gov't workers.
It's a simple task to calculate your own annual totals for capital gains, dividends and interest based on monthly statements or transaction notices. I don't think TRD will consider that the annual 1099 (for US) is the only valid reporting document. In fact that's how I make decisions in the last few days of a taxation year to ensure I maximize my income without crossing the boundary into a higher tax bracket.
Compared to what was affordable for my wife and I pre-Obamacare... they were very good. As small business owners health insurance was extremely expensive because it's risky for insurance companies to sell policies to individuals. It's much less risky for those companies to sell to large groups because risk is averaged out over a larger base. Higher risk means higher premiums to get the same coverage. Too many people don't understand how insurance works and why a single-payer system can cost a lot less money.
One bank in US offered virtual cards and I used them frequently. Unfortunately, the bank dropped the service after 1-2 years.
The bank would let me create a virtual card that could only be used for charges to a single payee. If I had 5 payments that I make frequently I would create 5 virtual cards, each with a unique number. Charges on all the virtual cards would be processed as if they were made on my original credit card number. None of those 5 businesses would know my "real" credit card number. The virtual cards function exactly like any other credit card except that they are only valid for charges from a single business/payee. There is no physical card so can only be used for online purchases or maybe over the phone.
Chuck is the best! He refunds the 220 ฿ and he doesn't charge any foreign transaction fee.
Next best is Capital One 360 that also has no fee but doesn't refund the 220฿.
Unless you screw up and accept the bad exchange rate they offer (DCC) you'll get the same exchange rate from all Thai bank ATM's. Those rates are set by Visa and Mastercard, not by your home bank or the Thai bank.
However, you probably have a debit card that will add 1-3% in fees for all transactions outside your home country.
