Well thanks for that........I wasn't trying to be argumentative, it was just something I found on the web which was easier to understand than civil service speak. So the Tax officer would know this?

Deutsche Rente Wohnsitz Thailand: Wer als Rentner in Thailand leben will und dann dort auch wohnt, muss gemäß dem Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen mit Deutschland keine deutsche Steuer auf eine staatliche deutsche Rente bezahlen. Stattdessen ist Steuer in Thailand fällig (Auslandseinkünfte für Rentner steuerfrei).

Islam is a terror organization.

That would be nice but I think the TRD see's this differently otherwise they wouldn't be going to the trouble of printing tax forms in English and giving out info regarding taxation. Ignoring them is a risk, it maybe that this will all fall by the wayside during the course of this year but conversely they may up their ante an in the next year they will want to know why you haven't paid tax last year. I'm not a poker player.

I haven't been back since and don't have a tax number. I am under the impression that the TRD's new interpretation of the tax laws concerning expats doesn't require a change of law and that we are tax liable. My pension comes from Germany, it isn't taxed there as they assume I am taxed in Thailand, as far as I can make out German pensions aren't covered under the DTA. I have worked out that I would be liable to pay 28 - 30 k in tax.

It has where I am, Surin province, I was ordered to get a Thai ID (pink card) first, then I was told I couldn't offset my Thai son (17 and 'legalized) because I wasn't married to his mother, both of whom live in my household, I was told to get an end of year statement from BBK concerning my pension transfers and to come back when I had done that.

perhaps being born in Germany with a German father and never applied for Thai citizenship?

I doubt that he was an innocent victim but rather the author of his own demise.

'She' also hasn't shaved in that pic.

Sounds like BS but maybe it was subjectively true to the little crackhead.

She has to get her story straight first

Is it king Trump now?......He hasn't got the dignity, elegance or the good taste for that job, imagine his coat of arms, crossed golf clubs over a half eaten big mac.

Someone did not wish him well and wanted his stash

How should they restrain him for 10 months? It's not as if they have a prison cell there with a self contained toilet, the guy is having a psychotic issue and lives among them.

Well I have spent most of my life (77) in several countries in Europe and the last 20 years in Thailand without ever being even threatened let alone attacked.
