    AirAsia should raise prices. The least expensive airline I've ever flown, if one has the wherewithal to actually plan travel. Flying KUL-BKK in a lie flat seat for 520 THB next week. That includes fast track immigration in KUL, 40 kg of checked bags, 14 kg of carry-on, and priority boarding. Doesn't get much better than that.

    You must be new here. The entire point of taxing foreigners is so that there is more money for the crooked politicians to steal. Nothing to do with the Thai economy.

    Probably the drive through window at the airport location.

    Bolt is my ride share app of choice. Usually much cheaper than Grab and I haven't encountered (many) shenanigans. (InDrive is okay, I've never booked via Maxim though I've had Bolt drivers show up in cars with the Maxim logo on the side.)

    Basically, yes. It's valid until it is used (presuming we're talking about a single re-entry permit) and will expire at the end of the current permission to stay if not used.

    In your case, that's 59 mins for a shower after.
  7. TheAppletons
    Yes, you are misunderstanding.
  8. TheAppletons
    Yeah, I still would.

    Really? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thailand-tax-treaties
  10. TheAppletons
    Of course it does. It does not, however, mean that a remittance of a government pension results in assessable income for Thai tax purposes. (Check your home country's DTA to see if government pensions are covered.)

    This is the way. ^^ All of the old ladies on here - well, what about this, what about that? Holy hell. One can live in fear or one can go with the flow. In Thailand, it's better to go with the flow.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I have something else to do, I give the money to the condo juristic office people and they pay Lazada delivery person when the package is delivered. Pretty simple, really.
  15. TheAppletons
    No problems with COD. If the driver gives you the package and leaves, deal is done.

    Concur, based upon what we know now. It would be highly unusual for a government to attempt to retroactively apply a new income tax law to previous tax years. Now, if someone were to whisper the words "wealth tax" to the TRD.....different ballgame. (Colombia, France, Norway, Spain, and Switzerland all have some form of a wealth tax, I think.)
  17. TheAppletons
    Not Jim but.....the remittance taxation is in effect now, the worldwide income tax scheme is under consideration for future implementation. So - in effect - both of your scenarios are true. The taxation on worldwide income would replace the remittance tax, which remains in effect until superceded.

    Again, it's not assessable income. RD's rules, not mine. I'm sure he'll fare quite well.
  19. TheAppletons
    He won't need to file taxes. His savings from prior to 1 Jan 2024 are not assessable income. If one has no assessable income, one does not need to file a tax form. What's he going to do, file a tax form with a zero in every column?
  20. TheAppletons
    You misspelled "especially". (Bolding in the quotation is mine.)
  21. TheAppletons
    It's always open. Why? Because it's manned by Immigration Officers who have to be there 24/7 to process international departures.

    Mine goes to the market for the exact opposite reason - so she can purchase as much organic food as possible.

    You might want to buy your eggs elsewhere if you like the larger variety. Thai GF buys ours at a local farmer's market - humongous eggs. Can even buy them with double yolk in every egg (now that tastes a little too "eggy" for me, if that makes any sense.) But I'm with you.....eggs here generally don't taste any different than other eggs. (Then again, I liberally salt my boiled eggs prior to consumption.)

    News flash - one of them is the "leader of the so-called free world" NOW. You have to wonder who is really ruining running the country today.

    I ordered one of these G4Free 54 inch golf umbrellas yesterday from Amazon, already shipped and on its way to Chiang Mai. $31.03 US, including shipping. (Doesn't have the hooked handle grip that you so desperately require, however. Straight handle.) Vendor is Laiqiu, Inc.
