My wife is a lawyer and works for the Revenue Dept. She tells me how you pay your tax depends on your business income.
You can pay taxes monthly if you wish but not required. Seems the law states business earning over 1.8 mil B are required to pay twice a year.
She did say a 1500% increase is ridiculous. The % you pay depends on the business net income. If under 150,000 it's 0%. The max is 30% of net.

These Top Cops have nothing better to do then blame tourists for their inability to manage their own job responsibilities.
Thai Nationals for the most part couldn't care less about the rules.
The Cops know it, they can't manage it so they take it out on the tourists.

The Police can determine that your complaint is a "no crime" complaint and not forward it to the prosecutor. If they determine the crime is borderline, they tend to bury it. They do this as there is a tremendous amount of investigation and paperwork that needs to be done prior to the complaint going to the prosecutor.
If you feel wronged, you can insist they send it to the prosecutor who will determine if a crime has been committed.
Even if the prosecutor determines a crime has been committed. he/she can choose not to pursue it.

Four years ago I had a heart attack. Fortunately, I live only 5 minutes to one of the largest hospitals in KK.
I want it known that the Cardiologist did save my life as I was revived twice.. BUT there are some disturbing facts.
To make a long story short, there was a blockage and a stent was necessary.
The disturbing part is the Cardiologist never came to seem me after the procedure. He sent a medical student. The student told me an artery was partially blocked, and was told a stent was not necessary.
After 7 days, I was released and given an appointment 2 weeks later to see the Cardiologist.
I returned in 2 weeks, not feeling very well only to be told the Dr was not in the hospital and my appointment needs to be rescheduled. I told them I wasn't feeling well and wanted to be seen by a Cardiologist.
2 hours later a doctor listened to my chest, said it sounds fine and sent me home.
Still not feeling well [dizzy and no energy] I returned to the hospital. No tests were done but I was prescribed Dramamine and sent home.
At this point I did some research and found who was considered one of the best Cardiologists in NE Thailand.
My wife called and explained to him what was going on. He asked I come to the hospital ASAP.
He did an ECHO only to find a good size blood clot in my heart. Which BTW if moved could have killed me.
He treated the clot with meds and I'm feeling fine. I do see him every three months.
I have found many Dr's here do not like to be questioned or challenged. My advise, do it and if you are not happy with the answers find another Dr.

If it's for basic transportation, any of the new pickups will do you well.. If it's for work [farm etc], IMO Ford is the best of the lot.

Just about any bill can be paid at 7/11 as long as it's paid on time. If late, you will need to go to the utility's office.

Response from Transferwise.
"Hey xxx, we did unfortunately have an issue with our partner bank in Thailand and for this reason your payment bounced back from them to us. The money is within our system and we'll try sending it out again today, it should be on your account by tomorrow. We're very sorry for any inconveniences this caused you."
Note they are only going to "try" sending it again. Also note it's not their fault. In fact, it's never their fault.
This is not true.. I setup a transfer on Friday. TW said I would receive the money on Monday Feb 4.
On Feb 4 I got a message from TW stating that my receiving bank refused the transfer.
I called Bangkok Bank and they said no such transfer was received by them.
I called TW, they apologized saying the glitch was in their system and not with my receiving bank. They said I would have my transfer today.
I asked them to adjust the conversion rate as it is now higher and in my favor. They said they could not.

My bet is that Thai Immigration will not consider screen shots of an app as official... to date they have only accepted a bank issued statement and balance letter from the bank...
Possible, but we really don't know for sure. The next time I go to the IO, I will show the app and the printout and ask if they will accept it as proof of transfer.

From where are you printing this detailed transaction that shows everything from?... Bangkok Bank?
And in general it is most likely that Thai Immigration will only accept printed documents directly from the Thai bank as anything you printed off yourself of from a foreign source is easily manipulated...
It's not a foreign source.. It's the official BKK Bank Bualuang m Banking App

Did a SWIFT transfer from my UK bank this month and showed up as "International Transfer". Had planned to use TransferWise next month to reduce costs. However, I'm getting mixed messages from the forum as to whether this method always appears as am international transfer with Bangkok Bank. Some say that it does but @Sheryl claims that it doesn't 100% of the time. Not sure that I want to take the risk with TransferWise.
Bangkok Bank iBanking App shows every TW transfer I made as an international transfer.
I would urge anyone who's transfer was listed as "local bank transfer" to download the app and see if BKK Bank has listed it as an Intl Transfer as mine are.

Can't you just download their IOS or Android App or must you first have an internet account?

If you ask 10 people this question, you will get 10 different answers.
If you just need to download files, connect to the VPN server closest to you for the bet results.
If you are using it to view TV/Sports and need a specific country IP, expect 30 to 50% drop in speed.

I just went to Bangkok bank at Changwatana and they said they needed a embassy letter explaining my funds from overseas because I don't have a work permit because I don't work.
Try another branch..

I use Bangkok Bank as a receiving bank, and all my transfers from the US are listed as International.
Once received here in Thailand, I transfer the funds to SCB where I do my day to day banking.
This process also makes it very easy to verify 12 months of international deposits.
Perhaps you need to change banks

Yes, it is proof of where you live but at certain Immigration offices is is not an acceptable proof of where you live. They prefer the rental agreement or utility bills and whatnot. Yet another one of those arcane TiT and YYMV thingmies for you.
Good to know you have their hotline on speed dial. I'm not calling anyone.
KK Immigration accepts the YB as proof of where you are living. Never heard of an IO that doesn't.

If you have a yellow book, do you still need to do a TM30?

That's why I said unless you are with Bangkok Bank. Meaning IF you are with BKK bank it will show as an international transfer. Not sure what's so har to understand about the sentence? But at least one poster has experienced a rogue transaction that didn't, presumably because another routing bank was used, as opposed to their normal route of direct to Bangkok Bank.
My apologies.. missed that.. I understand that banks do make mistakes. In fact, I had BKK Bank print all last years international deposits that were sent to BKK Bank NY. 4 were missing. They checked and determined that they were coded wrong. They corrected it and revised my statement.

What's not true? Go back and read it again!
Unless you are with Bangkok Bank (and even then there is no 100% guarantee) a TW transfer is highly likely to come from a bank within Thailand.
However, in other threads at least one poster has had a TW deposit to BKK Bank NOT show up as international, I suspect because they used a different partner to route the funds. So there is a danger, regardless of how small, that TW deposits to BKK bank will not show up as international for everyone 100% of the time.
I called BKK Bank transfer dept and was told that TW is considered an international transfer. My mobile app shows the same.

Any bank can. The point that was actually being discussed above is when using Transferwise and proving the source of your funds for TI extensions under the new regulations. Unless you are with Bangkok Bank (and even then there is no 100% guarantee) a TW transfer is highly likely to come from a bank within Thailand (e.g. a local transfer) and therefore will NOT show up in a statement or any other document that the bank can produce as a transfer from overseas, as far as the receiving bank is concerned, it wasn't. So it was suggested by others that folks might be able to track back to the next bank in the chain to get details of the international nature of the transfer. From speaking to Bangkok Bank, not gonna happen. Is that clear enough now?
Not true.. BKK Bank shows TW as an International Transfer.
If you use BKK Bank's mobile app, click on your last TW deposit and ir clearly states International Transfer

TransferWise do not transfer money internationally, they have local accounts and pay it locally.
True, but BKK Bank does show TransferWise transactions as an International transfer.

I'm not quite sure what the tax increments are without checking with my wife, but believe 150-300,000 is 5%.
When you go to the Revenue Office and are not comfortable with what you're being told, let me know via PM and I will be glad to put you in touch with my wife.
