Ask yourself this question. When you transfer (remit) you pension to Thailand, does the Thai bank know it is ONLY pension money that you have transferred? No. The bank only sees a foreign currency / exchange to baht deposit for a foreigner. The TRD know you are not living on air here. As another member said, in order to envoke the DTA or tax exemptions, you need to file and declare. Otherwise, as far as the TRD are concerned, your funds could be from anything, anywhere. All these posts saying, "I'm a Brit. We have a DTA." Or, "I'm Australian. There is a DTA." Or, I'm American. There's a DTA." It;s about your FUNDS, not your nationality or your age.

Not withstanding tax free thresholds, it can not be any clearer.

Had to deal with the same thing in the Australia Forum. It goes to psychology. Anything out of the daily routine, or anything new, just can't be accepted. Fear of change. Especially when the hip pocket is concerned. Throw enough rocks at the messenger, or ridicule the message enough, and they hope it all goes away, despite the message coming from government, and in relation to changes in the law. Go figure. Goes back to the same debate. A member posts on here that they remit funds, but they are tax exempt funds. All Thailand sees in the remitted funds. How and where those funds were "earned" is not known to them. It's up to the tax resident, that's me, you, and our fellow members, to file and declare, thus informing the Thai government their remitted funds are exempt, or, apply for tax credits, due to a DTA. Yes, rocket science. It's up to the tax residents of Thailand, who remit funds from overseas, to file and declare the origins of said funds, and then either have the funds exempted, or given tax credits due to the DTA. All of this talk like, "But it's pre 2024 savings so not assessable" blah blah blah - they don't know it is. You have to tell them, and you do that by filing and declaring, not by posting it on AN.

He took off for a holiday in Hawaii whilst Australia burnt. That's real Aussie politician leadership. No wonder the country is b*ggered.

Did you add up the time in all those phases? It goes into the years, yet, MRNA vaccines were released for use on humans within 12 months. Studies for side effects take TIME. Not all side effect reveal themselves in days, months, or even one year. I'm sure they did all the usual tests, but due to what was happening in the world, they didn't have the TIME to assess the vaccines for long term side effects. A prime example of this is Astra and the clotting, or do you deny Astra caused this side effect in many people?

Many couldn't sell then, and still can't sell now. Where's the money in that theoretical profit? You just said it was difficult not to make money at The Base. Now you say many got "stung." As I will. It's just that you constantly talk up the market to the point it becomes very clear you are only do so because you are financially exposed. Which is exactly what happened in many condo buildings. Many owners sold up and moved out, putting downward pressure on the properties in that building. Just the way the Chinese like it.

"Shedding raises the possibility of transmission of VBGT or oncolytic products3 from treated to untreated individuals (e.g., close contacts and health care professionals)." "For purposes of this guidance, the term “shedding” means release of VBGT or oncolytic products from the patient through one or all of the following ways: excreta (feces); secreta (urine, saliva, nasopharyngeal fluids etc.); or through the skin (pustules, sores, wounds)." I gather a condom can not protect one against a "shedder."

If I took an MRNA vaccine, and was now shedding, I'd be shedding myself.

Phuket has been a "premium" rip off for years. Phuket is Thailand"s "Money Number One" tourist destination. They don't call Phuket "Pirate Island" for nothing.

Well, geez, let me think about that for a moment. Country B's banking system, which is regulated, receives remittances into your account. Those remittances could be from yourself, as you transfer your own pension, or they could be profits from a share portfolio, income from a rental property, income from a business you own in your home country etc etc. How does Country B know the source of the income, thus remittances, unless you file and declare? Yes, I know, rocket science.

Can you name the last time the ACCC dragged any company to court and crucified them?

Same argument for the same long debate. How does Country B know the source of income is covered under the DTA unless you file and declare the exact source of income, in which Country B will then not tax because it's covered under the DTA?

So you agree with me, right? An extremely poor example. The Base Condo is nothing more than a large daily rental hotel, and has been for some years. That's fine if you want to do illegal AirBnB, but why bother for a few baht a day? A lot of people got stung at The Base Condo. They thought they were buying a condo in a condo building. Turns out all they were doing was buying a condo in a hotel building. There goes a huge part of the market to sell to in the future, and you one is stuck living there. Who wants to buy a place to live in Pattaya that is full of Chinese holiday guests being swapped out by the hundreds every day? More poor property advice from you. My blanket statement was in response to a member's post that property never loses. I know there are many variables, some of them out of the owner's control sometimes. Your Thailand / Pattaya real estate hard sell is simply BS, and it has to be, because you have skin in the game, and other members should be very wary of your posts because all you do is talk it up. Would you care to add some balance? What about those who have lost on property here, or those that simply are stuck and can not sell?

With a slowing Chinese economy????

Miscarriages up 300%. Cancers up 300%. Neurological disorders up 1000%. The list goes on. The first doctor's testimony is very interesting, and he comes across as a credible witness, as they all do. He talks about cancers. Have a look at the second doctor talking about myocarditis, and then the lady talking about the military data. https://rumble.com/vtao85-dod-and-fauci-caught-in-massive-scandal-hiding-death-and-damage-from-covid-.html

I didn't know they injected it into a super computer to see the effects. Did the computer develop any side effects, like clotting, for example?

Whilst I am sure many aspire to cities like Paris and Rome, many end up in cities like Kabul and Baghdad. The Beijing posting will be interesting for whoever is the unlucky one.

Have you looked into this? You are the one that performed the government service, not her. Are you sure the widow's pension is covered by the DTA?

You are classifying everyone that was suspicious, or "anti" MRNA, as an anti vaxxer, despite these people most likely having many other vaccinations in their life time. It takes around 6 years to properly develop a vaccine. MRNA was pushed out in under 12 months. Obviously, short cuts had to be taken. We saw it with Astra and the blood clots. Who knows what's further down the track? Companies are all about profits. Think asbestos. The gift that just keeps giving. Now, it's manufactured stone. As for big Pharma, there was the ruptured breast implants, the thalidomide pill, and the Essure contraceptive device, just to name a few. The VW car company with their deceitful manipulation of engine data. The Qantas airline selling seats on planes they knew were never going to take off. The list of corporate greed is endless. It goes on and on.

Also, probably best not to build where you can't own the land, like Thailand, for example.

Ok. I have an old Acer laptop. Didn't it get worked hard and copped some punishment in it's life, and it's still going strong. I just use it as a media player now. Based on my use of that laptop, I certainly couldn't complain about Acer, but I accept your experience is different to mine.

Isn't that what it's all about? The Thai government drums up some business, which then has a flow on effect? Call me cynical as well.

So he went from being called "bwana" to being called "farang." Quite a step down.

They don't seem to build houses very fire resistant in America though.
