  1. I had a US will and power of attorney drawn up by a lawyer in the US a couple of years ago. Both documents required notarization with witnesses. I had that done at the US Embassy here in Bangkok. $3,000 or so for a will using a lawyer sounds about right, but could be more if the estate is large and more complex. I think there are some issues that need to be addressed if one is not a legal resident of any state. Might be best to get proper advice instead of using templates.
  2. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-277-million-trump-republican-candidates-donations/ Ok, it was to other Republicans, too, but still, it must buy something.
  3. I think Donald Trump’s campaign received something like 277 million votes for Elon Musk to be president.
  4. As Scuba said above, make sure that you have made complete declaration of any pre-existing conditions. My suggestion would be to submit medical records going back as far as you can and let the insurer decide what affects their underwriting judgement. Don't just fill out the proposal form based upon what you can recall or what you understand about your medical history. Many of us have test results or doctors' notes in our medical files that haven't been properly explained to us or which were are unaware of that could be cited as as non-disclosure and thus grounds for denying a claim and canceling a policy from inception. Also, make sure you read the policy beforehand and make yourself aware of any obligations you may have under the policy. If you take care of the above, you are unlikely to have any issues with PC when it comes to claims.
  5. Corporate coverage for cyber risks is available from international insurers and reinsurers. Convincing businesses to obtain cyber insurance would also potentially require Thai insurers to provide it, but Thai insurers have little experience with this line of insurance and have little internal capacity to insure these risks even if they wanted to. Thai insurers would be reliant on international reinsurers to provide capacity and underwriting expertise. International reinsurers may not consider Thai risks in a favorable light, making obtaining this cover yet more difficult. I'm not sure what the OIC could do to change this.
  6. Mazars has a download with instructions on filing PND91 for 2024 on their website and there is no mention of declaring income that is non-assessable due to DTAs or for declaring remittances that are not taxable. https://www.forvismazars.com/th/en/insights/doing-business-in-thailand/payroll/personal-income-tax-return-form-pnd-91 The info is supposedly current as at 21 November 2024 and I would think that if the RD had changes in the works that Mazars would mention that. But one never knows in Thailand.
  7. Good point. We'll have to see if the PND90 has been updated to accommodate income that is non-assessable due to DTAs or non-taxable remittances.
  8. Here's a screenshot of an old PND91's section B that lists the type of income that is exempt. It seems to be very prescriptive with respect to the types of income that are exempt and has no place to declare income exempt due to DTA. Is the form for 2024 any different?
  9. Perhaps Costco looks at the experience of Tesco and Casino here in Thailand and decides that a local partner with majority ownership in the current retail environment doesn't suit them.
  10. Thanks. I wasn't sure. Just wanted to provide a fuller picture.
  11. The Central Park 5 were subsequently acquitted when the real perpetrator confessed and DNA evidence linked him to the crime. Had the death penalty been carried out on the Central Park 5, it would have been a horrible miscarriage of justice. It was bad enough that they spent years in prison for a crime they did not commit. This is just more evidence of Trump's dangerous rhetoric.
  12. Very good. Just wanted to make sure you were in a good position to be a dog owner. Not everyone thinks of these things in advance. With respect to 5b), you'll possibly have the issue of the two dogs getting along. Good luck.
  13. In Trump's first impeachment trial, the Senate voted 52-48 to acquit. In Trump's second impeachment trial, the Senate voted 57-43 to convict. He remained in office because it takes 67 senators' votes in favor of conviction to remove a president from office. All Democrats, all Independents and seven Republicans voted for conviction. So it is fair to say that the majority of senators in the second impeachment trial voted to remove him from office. It just wasn't enough to do so.
  14. There's also the fact that it takes 67 senators to vote to remove the President from office. I think this is an almost unattainable result given the highly partisan nature of politics today and the evenly-split Senate. The result was a foregone conclusion. Political theater, but then what isn't in Washington?
  15. Impeachment is the adoption of an article or articles of impeachment by the House of Representatives that are then forwarded to the Senate for trial. The fact that the Senate acquitted Trump does not negate the fact that the House of Representatives impeached him. The House of Representatives impeached Trump twice. The Senate acquitted him twice.
  16. You sound like you may be a first-time dog owner. Have you owned dogs before? A dog is a long-term commitment. Most dogs live between 10 and 15 years. That's longer than many marriages last. Are you established well enough to make that kind of commitment? Do you have time every day to walk the dog several times? Is there a safe place to walk the dog? Do you have a garden where the dog can stay during the day so that it is not in the house all the time? Is there someone else who can look after the dog if you need to be away for a while? Would that person be capable of taking care of a high-energy dog like a pitbull? Dogs are wonderful creatures and deserve to have a good owner and a good life.
  17. Lots of nonsense in this thread. Not all of it good for a laugh, though.
  18. I don't know. Perhaps we should ask Dr. Stella Immanuel.
  19. Isn't it shocking that this happens and the mainstream media and the CDC do nothing!
  20. Should ask him about gravity, too. Can't see that, either.
  21. None of these events occurred before I was vaccinated. Therefore they are all the result of the Covid vaccine.
  22. Since my Covid vaccinations, our dog developed pancreatitis and had to spend a week at the vet. We also had to replace the washing machine and fix the aircon in the car. I'm sure this was all due to those Covid shots.
  23. Check to see if your girlfriend's employer provides medical insurance on top of the mandatory Social Security scheme. It may allow her to select the hospital she prefers instead of going to the hospital designated for Social Security benefits. Note that such insurance would only be in force while she maintains her employment.
