  1. Try Dunlop, buy from Dunlop depot on Sukhumvit Road Pattaya. Sometimes they have good offers if you are changing all 4 togeather.
  2. As required for year 2024 I filled tax return online with help from Thai person as all is in Thai online. As per that I was assessed based on what I transferred in bank, No tax payable but to claim tax refund for tax deducted on interest paid on my savings in Thai Bank. It was small amount of around 1400 THB. Having received message from Revenue to submit documents, went to Revenue department and they asked for: 1.passport copy of all pages. 2.Bank book account - all pages. 3. Income tax payment certificate from tax authority of no income. 4. Certificate of non-income in Thailand. 5. Source of Income Number 1 and 2 are fine I can do. Cannot understand how to get Income tax payment certificate as per number 3 and where to get certificate of no income in Thailand - number 4. Its very small amount of refund, can let it go as it is likely to cost much more than value of refund. As such I was charged 1000THb to file tax return as all was in Thai and news kept on saying its compulsory to declare and file return for all transfers into Thailand. Any advice, comments: Please advice honestly and I thank in advance to all. Am seriously looking at not to stay in Thailand more than 6 months and or leave all together. Any suggestions ?

Any advice will be highly appreciated and I thank in advance for same.
