It's not me intention to start yet another debate on the topic of income tax. I'm just curious to know, as I'm sure others are what the general sentiment is amongst forum members.

That is NOT the FULL conversation. It is only my reply to Newnative. and is being used out of context. Try again.

Please go back and read the conversation fully. There is NO contradiction at all.

@Lacessit's comment was correct. The branches (the visible side of banking) will be open, but the HQ and admin centres do not work weekends. E.g. a Wise transaction which has been tagged 'long stay' will not be processed on a W/E. P.S. There is absolutely no need for sarcasm!

My wife was asked to provide a copy of her divorce certificate in Aug last year, following 8 renewals of my extensions. She had kept it (fortunately) and I e-mailed a copy to the office the same day and that was the end of the matter. I do know that she had her surname switched back to her family name prior to our marriage 10 years ago. Her lawyer/cousin assured her that it was necessary. The matter was not mentioned again this year when I did my renewal.

Branches yes, but not the HQ and admin centres, where all the transactions are handled. I have a couple of monthly direct debits and they are never paid out at weekends. The same would be true for incoming transactions.

However, with Wise you will get the mid-market rate. Whereas with a SWIFT transfer you will get the buy-rate. Plus the receiving bank will make 500 THB charge to receive it. Do the math for yourselves.

Quite so and it's significant that the O/P's perceived problem occurred on a Friday afternoon. Wise's partners here in Thailand rely on businesses depositing funds into their accounts. Deposits that are ultimately destined to settle accounts in our home countries. It's a 'closed loop' system. I would suspect that deposits would slow down as we head towards the weekend. BTW I transferred just over 1,000 GBP to my Kasikorn account this morning at around 7:15. It took about 5 seconds. Wise is not broken yet.

Isn't Vibhavadi Rangsit Road a public road? File photo is for reference only. Did you miss that bit?

I became aware recently on another (local) forum that one naïve soul paid 7,000 THB to an adviser just to obtain a TIN! Nothing else, just a TIN. Don't go there @StevieAus

While some people may be more sensitive to MSG than others, experts generally consider it safe, especially in smaller doses. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/msg-good-or-bad

Yes they should blink. Does it have a battery? If so try replacing it.

How's your posture @Bill Poster? I had exactly the same symptoms as you a while back. At first I thought it was the result of a fall I'd a while ago, which could have caused a whiplash injury (I landed heavily on my right shoulder). But that was sometime ago so I decided to explore other possibilities. Have you heard of text neck? It's all too common nowadays with so many of us spending too much time on our phones and computers. A simple test is to lie down on a hard surface and see whether the back of your head touches the floor. Mine didn't and when I looked up possible symptoms, lo and behold, tingling in the upper limbs just as you describe. (and the same as mine) This also ties in with the comment by @Sheryl regarding the C6 vertebrae. I came across a simple exercise to address this problem which is described in the video below. I only needed to do this twice daily for one week and the symptoms were gone and I've continued to do it to prevent a recurrence. It's free and it's worth a try.

The IO gets a cut.

Agreed and using an agency perpetuates the corruption.

He's paid the fine and does his time. Why should he have a problem?

And when they've finished interviewing the kids, the police should be turning their attention to the parents! 2 minors out on a motorcycle at night, touting a loaded firearm. For heavens sake!

You don't need a race track to teach someone how to ride a motorcycle, but you do need experienced and qualified trainers. And that's probably why that bird brain idea never got off the ground.

They don't come much dumber than that, do they!

I have come to the same conclusion. My only income is derived from pensions which have already been taxed in the UK. Over 50% of that income is a government pension which the TRD cannot tax and the remainder is well below the threshold set by the TRD allowances. I see no point in wasting my time or theirs.

If you really want to know the answer to that, why don't you start a poll?

I really am not that interested.

Well, we'll find out tomorrow who's right won't we.
