Sirijaj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (SiPH)
alanrchase replied to voyagerUSA's topic in Health and Medicine
"Waiting times no worse than ANY private hospital" I was referring to the waiting time in the government side. People say you will wait for hours which has not been my experience. For OPD you are asked to register your arrival half an hour before your appointment so they can get your medical record ready. Normally seen no later than an hour after your appointment. In the private side I was seen 45 minutes after my appointment time. When I saw the specialist in her own department waiting times were similar. -
Sirijaj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (SiPH)
alanrchase replied to voyagerUSA's topic in Health and Medicine
I was referred to Siriraj by a doctor in a Bangkok Hospital. Didn't know anything about the place other than it having private and government buildings. The only easily accessible parking for the public is for the private side so I ended up visiting there. Registered and got an appointment for the next day. Saw the doctor and he referred me to a specialist but said if I used the private side the appointment would be in several weeks time but if I went to the government side the appointment with the same specialist would be sooner. Registered at the government side and got an appointment for the next week. I've continued using the government side for the last 18 months. Waiting times for OPD are no worse than any private hospitals. The OPD has just been renovated and was a bit too cold for me last visit. I got the impression that the private hospitals were pushing me towards government hospitals as I self insure. -
Georgia is a state that allows non US citizens to vote in some local elections so the only surprise is that the percentage was so low. Nothing illegal going on and nothing to do with Biden or Harris.

I didn't know that having a driving licence in the US entitled you to vote. I thought there was this thing called voter registration that had to be completed first. Strange that there have never been any complaints about people that are too young to vote being issued driving licences.

Import to Thailand with Thai Post very slow?
alanrchase replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in General Topics
You are blaming taxes for the slow delivery. You are claiming Thai Post check the contents and write an invoice when Thai Customs are the ones that check and decide on any taxes imposed. You are also ignoring the fact that none of that can cause any delay until the item arrives in Thailand. You are wrong on every claim you make. -
Import to Thailand with Thai Post very slow?
alanrchase replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in General Topics
The package has not arrived in Thailand yet it is between the origin and destination countries. How can Thai Customs, not Thai Post, check the contents before it arrives in Thailand? Once it arrives in Thailand then you can start blaming Thai Customs and Thai Post for any delays. -

It has nothing to do with taxes yet. His parcel has left Poland but has yet to arrive in Thailand. Registered mail does not show the whole trip on the tracking site, just the departure country stages and the destination country stages. -
Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
alanrchase replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
She was born with a vagina which is what some anti trans people say is the definition of a woman. They will have to come up with a new definition. She competed in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, don't remember seeing you all complaining back then. -
Except you are talking about a completely different speech. The topic is about what he said on Fox and you are explaining what he said at Turning Point.

Guess what? Tax is due for all those years." I don't see the words "may be due".

I agree the tax situation as written in law has always been the same, however they stopped applying it to foreigners some time ago. The government has announced that as of 01 Jan 24 they will start applying it again. They have also mentioned changing the law to tax worldwide income. Where did I get the information from? Reports about what the government is proposing. This is a thread about those reports. Where have you got your information reporting that they will impose back tax?

Where have you got the information that you will be taxed for the previous decade from? As far as I understand the government officially stopped requiring foreigners to declare remitted money quite some time ago (late 80s?). They are reintroducing it this year so why would you have to worry about previous years? Nothing in any reports I have read make any mention of back tax. This is a thread about legal ways to avoid tax, your suggestion of not submitting a tax return if you have taxable money remitted to Thailand is tax evasion.

I can live for years on my savings as well. I suspect there will be a need to prove the money is savings, I also suspect that your income in the year will need to be shown as well. I suspect they will consider money remitted to Thailand to be from income first until it is all used up. It will all be moot if they decide to tax worldwide income anyway. Not really worth getting into various ways to lower your tax bill until they have decided exactly what they are going to do and made it law.

I don't think trying to remit pre 2024 money will work. Tax authorities are not daft. I suspect all tax authorities consider that the tax years income is spent first before you dip into savings. If you have income of $20,000 in a year they will not consider any money to be savings till you have used up that $20,000.
