Good way to fracture NATO Being that Donald Trump is not smart enough to understand that, by himself. Those five or was it seven(?) phone calls to Putin, during the Ukraine conflict, helped him with this idea.

It has taken the Brit police twenty years to get off their collective flaccid bums and finally do something. Now, I have always been impressed by the Thai Police's laziness & general incompetence, but I doubt they can match The Yorkshire Plod .... in this case.

Hoping to get clarification on this. If under the 60,000 Baht threshold for assessable income. You don't have to file a return. .... BUT 120K & 220K ?? Can I get some clarification on those two other limits posted? IS that based on age, work or lack of work etc. Is that for the same thing - when to file and when not to file? Thanks greatly.

Bangkok Bank, but a friend had the same experience with sending to KrungThai.

Prince Vlad is laughing his ar-e off. Biden tightened up NATO before he left. Trump thinks outside the box. If the US goes to war with a NATO member, NATO is roadkill. Vladimir Putin scores two. A successful settlement to his disastrous invasion of the Ukraine and NATO dead. Guy is doing backflips. Was it just investing in Trump golf courses? Promising Trump hotels in Russia? Or was it something else. Did he really honey trap Donald a decade back. Whatever, everything is coming up roses for the ex KGB man.

Wise for 1 K, works fine but ... . Two months ago, sending 5K, then 2K, in US dollars. More than 2 days for the 5K, BTW. Annoying, and as sending a larger amount ten days later. I did a wire transfer direct from my US bank, to be positive of the arrival date. I'm sure it cost more than WISE. I would do it again for any large amounts.

Says Ouija board, or magic 8 ball?

He bleeding links or cut & pastes from the New York Post & a few other right wing tabloids. Does he ever post anything original? Posting right wing tabloid froth on a right wing forum .... "great personal risk" right, It is tough to do that, he is living on the edge. BTW no idea where he actually lives, but I picture him up in Shasta county, maybe even Shingletown, frothing with the frothers.

Thanks to the OP for putting another piece of the Thai tax puzzle in place. As this thread is going the way of all the other tax threads ... Friends & I, are not filing. No taxes owed by Thai tax rules on the book. Records will be kept, if ever the Thai government gets their wind up about it. Much ado about nothing. .

12 yesterday, & 13 at 609 AM, in CM this morning. Likely a bit colder than that in the 'eastern suburbs'. As in next to a rice field outside of San Khampaeng.

They keep that pretty quiet. TIT. Easiest overland route to attempt. They were heading to Malaysia when caught. The overland borders up by Sinkiang (Xinjiang) province, China, are heavily guarded. Lethal force routinely used.

Or a smoke screen to conceal Chinese economic recession & less international tourism by Chinese, across the board. TIT.

And he went to Koh Tao. What could go wrong?! 🫤

Interesting. On lower ChangKlan there was no correlation. NO increase in power outages during the hot season vs the rest of the year. The only likelihood of having the power go out, was when a thunderstorm kicked up.

But you will post it up, parrot it, and what fun.

I recall articles from months back which said no Thai hostages were still alive. I assumed it was from the Thai government but who knows. As usual with sources, news sources, here in the Kingdom no clue what is true or BS from some government Somchai at Karaoke club. Thailand's policy of saying as little as possible, about the Thai workers in Israel, to protect the delicate sensibilities of Muslim middle eastern tourism, works against itself yet again.

Trump is just being Trump. First term he would make outrageous statements, about every week. As much to get attention as anything. If people believe his BS, and get worked up about it, all the better. He loves the attention. Its getting time for the first members of his administration to get fired, quit, or get charged with felonies. (Ok Gaetz, already happened, but ... ). That was his first term, a hot rolling clusterpuck of chaos. People coming and going. Mostly incompetent, then replaced by incompetents, no difference. It's what mooks want, so Trump gives it to them. Note - Trump dethroned Howard Stern, as King of The Mooks, a decade back.

Fly a Kite? Time wise, this might not work out.

That is the question. In our little coffee group, we all have accounts established pre24, no new money. That would be tax free by their rules. However there would be a small amount assessable, based on interest or capitol gains comingled in that account from 24. Easy enough to figure that small percentage out, of the money we send over. With personal deductions, let alone other deductions, nothing is owed in tax. Not talking about pensions or SS, here. Back to ... do we have to file?! Its not the 2000B penalty. We just would like to continue to be law abiding expats, garf! as likely lifers & here for the duration. The consensus in our little group, is wait until March, see if something clearer than mud turns up. No taxes owed but .... potentially yet another fricking hoop jump, and What Fun

https://www.expattaxthailand.com/thailand-expat-tax-rates-allowances-and-deductions/ Side note - asking for a friend ... and myself. The personal deduction is 60K & if over 65 190K. Got that. However a friend ran onto this, from the site linked above. "Taxpayers aged 65 or over are entitled to claim an additional personal allowance of 190,000 baht. This is in addition to their 60,000 baht personal allowance." According to that statement a 65 year old expat would have a personal deduction of 250K. Is that true? Thanks

Jesus Wept. Have you not noticed inflation in Thailand? You have not noticed that worldwide inflation bedevils countries from China to Canada, Albania to Argentina today? Next rhetorical question, did you notice another worldwide event in the last five years, something besides the ever-growing WOKE menace. ...... Say a Virus? Every country in the world was pumping money into their economy to keep it chugging down the road and not spiral into recession/depression. When confronted with a pandemic, or lockdown, like the recent worldwide virus originating in Wuhan China. Countries pump money into the economy to keep people spending, to keep the economy from locking up. The by product is inflation and yes it is worldwide. NOTE recent US campaign rhetoric aside (as in Bidenomics) Trump started doing exactly this in his last year, 2020. No real choice, it is the only economic answer that might work. Biden continued it. This is a no brainer as only one economic theory works in these conditions - just deal with it - 'Keynsian economics'. as true today as it was in the 1930's and one that conservatives and liberals use. Conservatives just don't like to talk about it, but they use it. Recession/Depression - or - Inflation? It is not even a choice GG

Putin is calling in his markers. When you have invested as much into this president as the Russians have, you expect things. Trump Jr admitted as much 15 years back when he explained who invested in Trump Golf Course developments. Then again, Putin is ex KGB who openly mourns the demise of the Soviet Union. Can't believe that he didn't honey trap Trump when given the chance, given Dons legendary lack of self control/restraint. Still, it's what Amerika wants. Putin is going to grab Uncle Sam by the back of the neck, bend him over and pound him. All to the cheers of right wingers & mooks in the US, those patriotic types who wrap themselves in the flag. Happy I am overseas!!

Kremlin is warning Russians not to speculate on what caused the Embraer 190 crash. About as close as Russians will get to a full admission that YES, we shot it down.
