Nightmare at the Prachuap tax office
Lacessit replied to thesetat's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Whether you are wrong or right is immaterial. Unless an Immigration officer tells me I have to have a Thai tax number and/or tax return to obtain an extension of stay, I won't be going anywhere near a tax office. They will have to come to me. If they do, I have documented proof every baht transferred is from pre-2024 savings. IMO your best course of action is to try at another office. It's very likely different offices have different understanding of the legislation, several posters have been told they don't need a Thai tax number. OTOH, a friend in Khon Khaen is telling me the TRD is making life difficult, to the point he will exploit the 180 day rule.- 160 replies

In other words, you think when she writes a song about a guy, she has slept with them. An interesting leap of logic. Thanks for knocking back women on the basis of their political beliefs, it leaves more for us rational guys. AFAIK she has never paid a porn star to have sex, unlike someone else we both know.

Trump 2.0 -- Exponentially more damaging than Trump 1.0

You see prices coming down in America? -
A couple of your favorite phrases in your post, applied when you have nothing cogent in rebuttal. One of the features of propaganda is the use of emotionally loaded language.

Abstaining from alcohol is one of the boxes ticked by sociopaths. They know alcohol removes inhibitions, and want to conceal their true nature. -

One day in the far-off future, you may actually have something which successfully rebuts what I post. Maybe they will come up with a medication to make you smarter. This week's award for lame responses goes to....... -
IIRC it's called circular argument, or begging the question. It's drivel because he says so, without advancing any proof.

I am not involved in the argument you are having with another poster. However, if you insist with leading with your chin, don't expect people to pass up the opportunity.

It's difficult to explain to someone who thinks a word of three letters is too big.

Trump 2.0 -- Exponentially more damaging than Trump 1.0
Lacessit replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
He is also more damaging to the people who voted for him, they just don't have the wit to realize it. His tariff walls and deportations of low paid workers are going to drive up prices, that's a given. Prices are like viruses, they don't care who you voted for. When Trump gave Musk and his DOGE Musk rats free access to Treasury and other departments, he probably did not know or care what he was doing. Data is money to tech billionaires. Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos all thrive on it. It's how they got to be billionaires. The Musk rats are now mining one of the richest mother lodes of data on the planet, for free, courtesy of Trump. Treasury, Social Security, Defense - it's a treasure house. I feel sorry for Americans, and very pleased I am not one. They just don't realize what they have got themselves into. -
Porridge has just as much carbohydrate as bread. The OP has to reduce his carbohydrate intake further. Beer is loaded with it. He should also avoid anything with sugar in it. If he still wants to drink alcohol, gin and tonic or whisky/rum with or without a zero sugar mixer. My diet consists of eating as much protein and cheese as I feel like. Fish, beef, chicken, pork, eggs. Yoghurt is OK. Low carbohydrate vegetables, such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. Salad vegetables. Low sugar fruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Bananas are high carb. My standard breakfast is poached eggs, or an omelet. Bacon occasionally. Coffee with stevia, a zero carb/calorie sugar substitute. For the doubters, I am normal BMI, having gone from 93 kg to 78 kg.

Guess how much it would have exported if Canada was not supplying 50%. Canadian crude is heavy, processed by Mid-western refineries. The shale oil crude produced in America is lighter fractions. Shale oil is a Red Queen's race, producers have to keep drilling. The average well life is 20 - 30 years, but production rates decline rapidly after 2-3 years. Hence the drill baby drill slogan. -

A copy and paste from when Bob Smith went on the wagon. I recommend a month's worth of Clozapine. -
SCOTUS is irretrievably corrupted by Trump stacking it with conservative judges in his last term. The overturning of Roe vs Wade plus the ruling on Presidential immunity destroyed its credibility.

Newton's Third Law of Physics states every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The same law applies to geopolitics. Trump puts tariffs on China, it responds by freezing imports of American farm produce, and embargoing the export of strategic critical elements. Well done Trump, just put your farmers to the sword, and crippled your defense industry. Canada has a positive trade balance with the USA. It also supplies 50% of America's oil and gas. If it decides to sell those raw materials to China and India instead, the US is up the proverbial creek in a barbed wire canoe without a paddle. A real man does not dodge the draft by faking bone spurs, disrespect fallen soldiers, sexually assault women, or cheat the contractors he employs for cents on the dollars he owes. If that's what you think makes a real man, you are as big a moral imbecile as he is. -
A flat tax of 1.5 - 2% on revenue would probably fix every nation's budget. Multinationals, corporations and billionaires can hide profits in a plethora of ways, they get a free ride compared to the average wage earner. Example: Transurban in Australia had a net profit of $46 million. It paid $136,000 in corporate tax. Its revenue was $4.6 billion. At a 2% tax rate, it would have paid $92 million. Revenue can't be hidden, fudged, or shuffled off to a low tax environment. One thing for sure, I would have been delighted to be paying only 2% tax in my peak earning years.

You may need to temper your expectations of any coffee chain that cares more about its bottom line than its customers. Personally, I search out and try small non-chain coffee shops which look like they know what they are doing. If what I get is good coffee, reasonable in price and quantity, they have a repeat customer. Starbucks, Amazon, Black Canyon etc. - I don't bother anymore.

The Thai demographic is shrinking. It would collapse if Thais took to the skies.
