You can get non-immigrant O-type visa as dependent, either spouse to one with a working permit or parent to a child studying in Thailand. If you enter as a tourist, you can change to an O-type visa while in the country. For work you'll need an B-type visa and to my knowledge you can only obtain that from abroad. However, if you already have an extension of stay, you "can change the reason for your extension to one based upon working, teaching and etc." Source link...

Indeed I'm reliving my youth in Thailand – in many ways it's back to the happy late 60's and early 70's, but with smartphones to remember and selfie everything – and I don't weed to do it...

He need to sue you in court first, or get police to open a case; the latter is not very likely. If it's not a relative major amount of money in question, just pay, and get a receipt for full and final compensation – it might be the easy way out – and move on.

You need to register as income tax payer at a custom office. You'll need to prove that you stay in Thailand for minimum 180 days in a calendar year and have taxable Thai income. You will receive a small slip with your TIN (Tax Identification Number). Before March 31st every year you need to fulfil your Tax Return Form, in which you in "Number 3, Assessable Income Under Section 40 (4)", first section find "Interest, bill or debt instrument discount, which the taxpayer is the first holder (if opt not to pay tax at the rate of 15 percent)". Here you can claim to be income taxed of your interest, instead of paying a flat 15 % rate of withholding tax. Today you need to state your Tax return online in Thai language. If it's relative small money, I wouldn't bother. However, in principle you are fully income taxable when staying in Thailand for more than 180 days during a calendar year...

Normal advice is: Keep it under the radar...????

I would say it very Thai-style: "Up to you"...

When I was early 50s my age gap was 30 plus a little; i.e. actually 32-33 years age gap...???? Today I'm older, so the age gap i would look for would gap will be larger...

You need for security reasons to be data-online by wireless phone connection, not WiFi. I had to disconnect WiFi, as that is preferred over wireless phone. Then I could register with my passport-number and OTPs. The screen started in thai language and could not be changed – I needed a Thai helper, luckily my daughter had already installed the SCB-app last year – and when registered the app can be changed to English language. After registration the app will work with WiFi.

I have both Bangkok Bank and SCB; Bangkok Bank works on both app and PC Internet banking. SCB unfortunately only has app now, which is less convenient than using a PC. I also considers to move some of my accounts away from SCB.

The Photo shows with line it is..????

Look at the photo...

The ferry was from the Raja Ferry-line – the photo shows the name "Raja 5" – that sails from Don Sak on the mainland to Lipa Noi Pier on Samui. There is another route with slightly newer ferries, Seatran, which sails from Don Sak – their pier is next to the Raja Pier – to Nathon Pier on Samui.

Can they wait it out? If they can this would throw a unwanted spanner into the works. That's a big discussion and question in the news at the moment. Some news-articles have concern about the economics due to lack of a working government, others say that the outgoing Prayut Chan-o-cha government just will continue until May 2024.

This was posted earlier Seached a bit: Article 272 says that the power of the senators to vote for a PM expires in May 2024, which seems like however new senators are appointed – or elected – their seats in the parliament will not be included in vote for a primeminister... Article 272 states that for the first five years of Parliament under the current Constitution, the new prime minister shall be elected by a joint sitting of Parliament. The candidate must gain votes from “more than half of the total number of existing members of both Houses” to be successful. Source: Thai PBS "Article 272: The unmovable constitutional rock that wrecked Pita’s PM bid". Mr Jatuporn appeared to suggest, instead, that the pro-democracy coalition should wait it out until June 2024 when the Thai Senate’s voting rights will expire by law under Section 272 of the Thai Constitution. –and– A key factor in this equation ultimately is Section 272 of the 2017 Constitution which says that the power of the predominantly junta-appointed Senate expires after June 2024. Source: Thai Examiner "Jatuporn warns Pheu Thai may be turned as he predicts a political impasse. Should wait for 2024".

Thanks, but not an answer to the question. This article is about the present situation. The Senators was appointed for a 5-year period, how will they be replaced next year?

Not on board level, it was changed to less restrictions a few years ago. But you cannot be managing director without a work permit.

I've been using it with TransferWise/Wise for Bangkok Bank and it works with the "FTT"-code (Foreign Telegraphic Transfer) in both statements and bank book. Other Thai banks may use different codes and might not register it as foreign transfer when done by Wise.

What happens when the 250 – 249 remaining – appointed senators' period is up next year; will there be another 250 new senators and how will they be appointed or elected, and are they also going to vote for a primeminister as it's stated in the constitution..?

Yes, I think you correct.

A foreigner – except US citizens – can only own 49 percent of a business. US citizens can own a business 100 percent under the amity agreement. You can however be partner without having a work permit, as long as you don't work, apart from functions as a board member-director. Normally foreigners will be shareholder in a company limited, which recently changed to that only two shareholders are needed, it used to be three. With preferred shares one shareholder can have a majority of votes, without majority of shares. Often a registered capital of 2 million baht is adviced, this sum is also a requirement for one work permit for an alien.

Sad situation. You have the option to extend your stay based on marriage, with foreign income of 40k per month – you need to have to had for the last 12 months – or 400k only in bank deposit. Otherwise an agent is the best advice.

It's named "Lotus's go fresh"...

There has been shortage of normal milk (fat milk) for the last few weeks where I live; the day before yesterday it was sold out in two shops and only a few 830 ml bottles left in the third.

Nope, CP holds the 7-Eleven franchine, Family Mart is held by Central Group... Thailand[edit] FamilyMart opened its first store in 1993 and grew to over 1,000 locations within the next decades. In May 2020, FamilyMart transferred their 49% stake of the Thai joint venture to partner Central Group. Despite FamilyMart's effective exit from the venture, they maintained licensing rights and store locations retained the company's name. Source link, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FamilyMart
