  1. I got my tax identification number/TIN. In around 20 minutes. Bring the copies required.
  2. I think so. They tax our interest directly with 15 %, I probably got it back ... ... and had to fill another form. 😆 You undoubtedly can go deeper into the tax law here, and that makes sense if you expect to pay a higher amount to the kingdom. As for me, this amount was fully acceptable to close this case that caused concern among farang here for so many months.
  3. My health insurance is Thai. My pension or my income --- no question was asked, they did not want any definition. Only the amount of money transferred to Thailand from a foreign country, listed in the bank statement, was essential. They somehow took into account the intest on my Thai bank account. I mean --- 1,431 Baht and that's it... I did nothing else but accepting.
  4. My second visit today at Jomtien Tax Office. Bank statement is needed. Health insurance is deductible. Many forms, many signatures. The Kingdom charged me a tax of 1,431 Baht. I immediately accepted and paid. Case closed, see you next year.
  5. I made another transfer with WISE these days. As many times before: I keep on being very satisfied with the service of WISE. No complaints.
  6. Nakhonchair Air has its station in Pattaya, Sukhumvit, very close to Klang, southbound. My last trip with NCA Pattaya to CMai was extremely long, extremely cold and, due to the styling of their seats, with very little space to stretch the legs.
  7. Omeprazol and similar are very strong. Blocking stomach acid. Should not be taken for long long time. Try Famotidin or Cimetidin -- on sale now after Ranitidin gone, reducing stomach acid (which you need each and every day), not so strong. In your pharmacy.
  8. For me: Nakhonchaiair no more. Arctic cold in the bus for many hours, more than 13 hours from Chiang Mai to Pattaya, and the design of their seats makes it unable to stretch the legs. I better go through Mochit, changing the bus to Pattaya.
  9. With 261 square kilometres (101 sq mi) of territory, and roughly 50,000 inhabitants, St. Kitts and Nevis is the smallest sovereign state in the Western Hemisphere, in both area and population, as well as the world's smallest sovereign federation.[1] ... quoted from wikipedia
  10. I can report positive reactions only. Respect when they figure out, for example, that you use the correct Thai plural structure. In some cases uncertainty when I approach someone - and a bright smile when I speak a few sentences in Thai !
  11. I confirm this highly inefficient procedure when applying for the re-entry permit in Jomtien. I had times with not more than ten minutes waiting for this. No one can explain why they do not give the passports back when three or four have been processed.
  12. There is a Bus or Minibus connection from Ekamai to Aran, to the border point. I crossed the border, waited in Poipet from around 3 pm to 6 pm and took the evening bus to Siem Reap. They have coffeeshops and restaurants along the main street. Thai trains. Yes. Once in your lifetime, but it is not real exciting in my eyes They have - or had? - direct flights from Bangkok to Siem Reap.
  13. Foot massage - now always 60 minutes, sometimes even more. Before Covid, I noticed they went down to 45 minutes or even less. Pay less, a Thai friend said to me when I complained about this...
