If you read my post, I said they were tested, but were just not given the TIME to wait and properly assess any possible side effects. I see you didn't comment on Astra and blood clotting. Obviously, it doesn't fit your narrative.

Talking about "nuts." It will be interesting to see if there will be a spike in birth defects in the next generation who received a MRNA vaccine, when their time comes for having children. Of course, they could blame any spike in birth defects on climate change.

False.

Very conclusive. I've had more vaccines / boosters than most over my lifetime, and still continue to receive them. I just found it strange that people who get regular vaccinations / boosters, were called "anti vaxxers" when all they were was suspicious of MRNA, and held off. The term "anti vaxxer" for these people, in my opinion, was, and still is, inappropriate. How can you call them an "anti vaxxer" when they regularly receive vaccines, just not MRNA vaccines?

You've quoted me, but directed the post at Presnock????????

Uninstall the app. Turn on a VPN with a server in the UK. Reinstall the app. Try again. Maybe it will work.

I suspect this "new" service will be well advertised by "agents" and accounting firms the 31st March nears. You shouldn't have any problems finding someone who can make your tax problem go away, legitimately, or otherwise.

Don't forget those who worked hard for it, and feel it's a rip off giving it to a government who p*sses it up against the wall, and also gives it to people who have never worked a day in their life. The more the tax noose gets tightened, in every country, the more people will seek out the benefits of crypto. Governments are already looking at their country having it's own crypto, and that's how you will be paid, and how you will spend, for EVERYTHING, and they will know it all.

Last I heard, not all farang Kasikorn account holders received this email. Has anyone received it recently, who were not in the initial mail out? Some seem to think receiving the email was possibly based on the size of their balance, or based alphabetically.

I agree. If they want some money, and it appears they do, they will get some money.

I set up a Virtual Wise Card when I am buying from a new merchant online. Who knows, maybe they are dodgy. I move the exact amount of money needed to pay for the item, and once the transaction has gone through, I delete the Virtual Card. Sure, I could still be stung, but they don't get to clean out my Wise account. It's a great product / service offered by Wise.

Firstly, don't ever "hit" on anything unsolicited. In this case, you should have closed out and opened the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Perhaps it's not your account that has been compromised, but your phone and / or phone number.

No way could this tax on remitted funds evolve to work the same way, unless one files and declares, it's just impossible, TiT and all.

Electricity prices are so bad in Australia they are now a regular election issue. A few years ago there was a saying among pensioners, "Do I heat, or do I eat, because I can't afford to do both." (in reference to warming the house in winter and also being able to buy food) The sad thing is, it was true of many pensioners then, and is still true to this day. People are suffering due to electricity prices, and there is no end in sight. Electricity in Australia should never had been privatized.

How wrong you were.

The vape demonstration merely showed where a 125nm covid virus could escape from. I understand your argument when it comes to vapor passing through the mask itself, but look at all the vapor escape routes for a mask on the human face. Those gaps are bigger than 125nm.

Can you even buy it these days?

Covid lingered in the air for 20 minutes. Educate yourself. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-long-is-the-coronavirus-infectious-when-its-in-the-air

For how long? The vaxes started to wane after 2 months, and gone by 3 months. That's 4 shots a year. Just the way big Pharma wanted it. Now, here we are with probably Covid 54 swirling around the globe, and most are unprotected from it. It's laughable.

Was Covid only transmitted by being spat on?

I accept this. Shall we call it "a shift in policy?" Does it really matter? The Thai government is simply tapping a new revenue stream that has been laying dormant for decades. That's the old argument that the TRD have no idea, they don't have the infrastructure to implement it, they are undermanned, TiT, TiT and TiT, blah, blah and blah. I admit, there is a chance nothing will happen, because of TiT, but I have never known a Thai to walk away from money because of TiT. They usually move heaven and earth when money is involved. Also, the media releases tend to show there's some "smoke" around the issue, and where there's smoke there's usually fire. Correct, bu there is also a lot of differences in the types and amounts of income that is remitted. Eg. pension, rental returns, dividends, annuities, business earnings, compensation payments, interest payments etc etc from all different nationalities here. Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances. I 100% agree. We all take great care not to overstay. Add paying any tax bill to the list. If you are not legal tax wise, one could expose themselves to some nasty consequences.

You are a farang. Do you trust the system here enough that you definitely know that's the way it's going to work out for you? I don't. As I said, there will be chaos, but when the dust settles, these things will be sorted out, and in my opinion, filing and declaring will be just like extending your visa, it will become a part of your requirement for your permission to live here. I accept this, but it will change and the Thai government will get some money out of it. Nothing surer.

Yes, masks offer great protection.

I am sure there will be chaos, but when the dust settles, farang will be made to pay "something" but in my opinion, ignoring it and doing nothing will not be an option.

A lot of members seem to be relying in "TiT." Normally, I have no problem with "TiT' because it has had little effect on my daily living in Thailand. Now, I am caught up in a Thai government net, as we all are, and we know we are all only here on a visa, not permanent residency, and of course not citizenship. Most are living here on what is pretty much just a 12 month tourist visa. Accidentally, or on purpose, if one was to break a law here, including a tax law, it MAY have some nasty and unforeseen consequences down the track, and I am not scaremongering. Example: we all know the punishment for overstaying. Eg. blacklisting. It's well documented. I wouldn't want to be the first to be scapegoated over not paying tax, not matter how big, or how small, my tax liability. Also, I certainly wouldn't want to have to male a large "tea money" donation to make any tax problem I have go away. As i have said in the past, a tax policy without collection and enforcement is no tax policy at all. On that basis, I just can't see how members can chose to ignore the whole thing completely.
