Interest withholding tax
mran66 replied to peterfranks's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Your advice was good. Contacted HQ via the website feedback channel. Within 2hrs got response. Couple of email exchanges on top of that, and in the evening the Pattya Tai branch manager called me, apologizing the 'misunderstanding' and asked to come visit him. Went today, and issue settled as expected i.e tax ID stored, and the branch manager told no more withholding if not over 20k baht interest. Have to say I was pretty surprised and impressed about Krungrsi's professional and quick resolution of the issue. One of the rare occassions that an organization in this country resolves issues as they should. -
I not sure as I always go to the Pattaya Tai one closest to my home. However as it is a big chain, I would assume prices are same across their network of outlets.

Interest withholding tax
mran66 replied to peterfranks's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Based on some other threads in aseannow from earlier yeatrs, went to my krungsri branch yesterday with my newly issued tax ID which I thought would enable the withholding tax to be discontinued on my 800K retirement saving account (not fixed deposit) AND to get issued documents to claim back 3-4 yrs tax payments for refund application. Verdicts 1. Sorry tax ID does not help with withholding. However we can issue you the document for refund application. 2. Sorry the document for refund application is only available for last tax year (2022), not for earlier years. Point 1 I guess nothing can do. For point 2, is this really true i.e can not apply for tax refund other than the last tax year? Not a major issue per se as the tax on interest with current rate levels is something 1k+ a a year. Maybe not even worth the hassle to go to tax office to try to get the claim applied, not sure how co-operative they are for non-thai able farangs in Jomtien tax office. -
You are definitely charged farang price...I recall price in Fascino for 6x250mg was 165baht last time I bought 1-2months ago. Not 100% sure but for sure under 200. Earlier always got Acyzin but last I got was Hofmax, both local and price about same.

I've had a small house near Sands for 10yrs, and have to say I am pretty happy with the location still. had a look at few locations every now and then, always concluded nothing better for my lifestyle. Sure you need a motorbike or car to be properly mobile, however with mototaxis and bolt can survive nowadays somehow even without. Getting to Suk is not an issue normally when I need to go as not tied to local working or holiday scedules (i.e excl sat and sun afternoons when bangkokians are heading home). The roadworks in pattaya tai thepparasit in past couple of years have been a pain yes, but even thepparasit will be over soon. Butyes, of course 5-6pm there is traffic everywhere. Weekends and holidays pratamak road tends to be fairly bad at times due to bangkokians heading to the nice cozy beach restaurants for their selfies Going forward my worry is also traffic, though different type: when Panora, Ramada and few other new planned condos finish along Soi 5, Chinese are back, and Indiands possibly finding their way here too, how to get out from here due to the bus traffic.

You are correct. However there is a bit of a credibility issue with this story...some variation of the same story has been told to countless mamas neighbors friends and colleagues all over the world by many good men, possibly with the difference that their story don't mention Soi 6, and if asked, they don't know about Soi 6 A week or two later many of them seen sitting in Soi 6 bar with a lady on their lap videoed by some s****d youtuber! -
Copies of passport pages (main page, visa, entry stamp), and I guess TM6 if you still got one when entered, one passport photo and filled TM8 application form. and cash 1000/3800 single/multi varies a bit, 10-30min I recall. I never left the office before got it, won't take long. They process it on the spot go latter part of the week in the afternoon, less waiting time in queue usually before getting to counter.

"...approximately 180-190 cm tall and 25-35 years old. As for his partner, she had dark skin and was around 150-160 cm in height, and was about 25 years old." ...quite some technical details - however all circumstancial, could be just people walking on the street drunk. Need to report size and shape of the equipment, estimated weight and width of a** of the female to be credible witness statement at all, preferrably also describe the sounds of the event

I heard metro was rejected as too straightforward. This is still secret so keep to yourself: The soon to be released new proposal to complement the cable car system is thai-designed subterranean network of submarines. Routes same as current baht us routes. Flooding proof system they concluded in the committee. Still pending the germans confirming the engines though.

"I'm not interested in Kamagra or any number of alternatives." Not answering your question, but wondering how this Sidegra is different from Kamagra or "the other alternatives"?

Of course the responsibility to handle this case must be taken up to the top, totally predictable. They have to find a way to clean out the Chinese guys without shooting their own feet. That can not be managed as bottom-up investigatione as need to ensure that exposure of involved senior officials is managed properly. End result will be that the Chinese lords' power at least substantially decreased if not removed, an Thai replacement lords back in place to run the biz. Money continues to flow, and many 'misunderstandings' and 'no evidence of corruption' found. Few people removed, none on high level. Life goes on, TIT. They will probably learn the lesson not to let Chinese to run the biz, easier to manage the local guys.

BTS asked to cease publicity re debt settlement by Krungthep Thanakom

555 thai officials continue to provide good laughs, amazingly productive in that front! -
... And the chuvit guy felt he will completely loose for the Chinese unless he tries to blow the whistle. But issue likely to be thrown under carpet and buried in committees as too many high up would be exposed. Big Joke out is first step of hiding the truth. If this tuhao guy opens his mouth and papers, many in deep <deleted>, thus unlikely he ever allowed to do. Either he will be found dead or freed, time will tell.
