  1. I'm a US citizen. The United States is not part of CRS, they have FATCA. Financial information of US citizens with accounts in Thailand will have their info shared with the US by Thai institutions. Thai citizens with accounts in the US will have their info shared with Thailand. The US will not share US citizen US accounts with Thailand. I will not sign anything having to do with CRS.
  2. Shrively!! What is your route, always looking for more safe road 😉
  3. There is a dentist in Raumchok on the 1st floor who is pretty good.
  4. Ya, going to do the same for US Social Security, into a separate account and only remit that money into Thailand. I had already been moving seasoned money to Thailand, earned in previous year, the same way that was absolutely traceable to such. Just started SS so will get that set up ASAP.
  5. Would not be a bad idea that new threads start for each country to keep down the confusion over each country's DTAs, which are not the same.
  6. Striped Kukri snake?
  7. Anyone know?
  8. Thailand is Tier 1 FATCA reporting. Thailand can report your account to the US but can not request your data from a US source.
  9. Their teachers can fly to Samui and teach from there 😉
  10. Nipply this morning in Chiang Mai. Was 11C at my house. Had windows open and an extra blanket on the bed. Slept like a (non-colic) baby!
  11. And for FATCA, Thailand is Tier 1 which means they provide information out but do not get information from the other country the person has an account at in.
  12. Route 66. The Pitstop is great as well and the Belly Buster is two meals for me.
  13. Great! More petite brown ones for me!
  14. At one time CA and Fed tax laws were very different.
  15. Not unless States rights are going to be trampled on. Which States rights are the hinge pin of the republican position given they want less Federal gov.
  16. Hope they already have a reduction plan. Tax reform is normally a multi-year plan involving gov and tax experts. Current individual tax laws are so intertwined, you change something in one area and transfers over to some worksheet that affects another part of the return. Even if Fed law is changed, you have to get state law to follow or you get two completely different sets of tax law. CA over the last 4-5 yrs has been moving away from following Fed law so closely.
  17. Didn't he pass due to skin cancer?
  18. I'm looking for somewhere in Chiang Mai to have my son formally learn chess strategy. He completely understands the piece moves and has trapped me more than once and got close to beating me. He does not get mad when he loses, just learns from it. He's 6 and speaks English. If anyone knows where this can happen, I would be truly appreciative for the info. Thanks in advance!

  20. Actually, my two older kids are in a program at KMUTT University in BKK (DD-CT program) where you do the first 2 years there then transfer to Digipen Technical Institute in the state of Washington to finish the last 2yrs, the son as a video game designer, the daughter doing digital graphic arts. They're gamers. The program has been tough and somewhat disorganized at times where the kids actually stayed an additional year which turned out unnecessary in the end, but too late to do anything about it. It is a relatively new program and the daughter reports that the freshmen are coming in under a better organized system than when they started. Digipen has been please with the quality of students that come from Thailand.
  21. Got a random Messenger request by someone posing he was an art student studying face poses and wanted me to send pics of my face. You connect the dots...
  22. If anyone can tell me why the big jump in flight price from Chiang Mai to Udon Thani I'd be appreciative. 2x the price of CNX to BKK
