Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Sounds like some people in your countries government are very stupid. These types of pensions are pretty basic in DTA. Advice? Get together and write letters to your government officials.

Should income for visa 800K (retired) or 400K (married) not be taxable?
The use of an agent for extensions should be interesting. 1,000's use agents. Lets be honest, each year they put 800k into the account for less then one minute to show the 800k. The expat is not transferring accessible income, or any monies belonging to him. I guess, it could be considered a quick loan from the bank or agent? How will/should this be documented for tax purposes, if at all?

chronic kidney disease
Did you have a UACR? I bet the many over 70 year Olds here have mild CKD. Google says 35 million adults in the U.S. have CKD, many don't even realize it. I would not let it change plans to come to Thailand. Just try to stay healthy with diet, exercise, little or no booze and get frequent tests. If it progresses, a person can return to their home country. As far as insurance, for sure it will affect it here. Most likely no coverage for any current or future issues. If in fact, they give you a policy at all.

A rant about Thai driving.. I know.. Yaaaawwwnn
I think they are the most disrespectful, selfish, terrible, uneducated drivers in the world. Just look at all the accidents and deaths. Human life seems worthless.

Thais Reject Casino Complex and Online Betting Plans Poll Shows
Isn't that the goal? Keep the people down, poor, and in debt. Poor education, lousy jobs and low wages. Low power to the people the government will always be in control.

"On Toast" - what's your "go to" ?
I like those toasted 7-11 sandwiches. Good for a snack I like them extra toasted. Then, squirt ketchup on before each bite.
