They will vote for Trump in November. They always do.

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2024/01/24/thats-the-guy-we-will-beat-00137517 A new book reveals that Sen. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.) “threw Trump under the bus” during Graham’s secret grand jury testimony in the Georgia election subversion case. According to secret grand jury testimony in Fulton County confirmed by the authors, Graham testified that if you told Trump ‘That Martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you.’ After Graham was finished testifying, he bumped into FANI WILLIS in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story. ‘That was so cathartic,’ he told Willis. ‘I feel so much better.’ Then, to the astonishment of one source who witnessed the scene, South Carolina’s senior senator hugged the Fulton County DA .

I am not sure if this is true under Geirgia law.

We are seeing Russian propaganda to get Trump elected.

If you first transfer the funds into your Thai bank account, and then you transfer the money to the final recipient, is the money taxable twice? If the funds are for a condo, what if you transfer the money from abroad into an escrow account?

My reply was based on previous comments from the "experts" here. However, I paid my 2024 HOA fee with a bank transfer from abroad.

Legally, that's money transferred into Thailand from abroad, and therefore goes on your tax return. For when you file.

Is there anyone here who is *not* working in Thailand, but files Thai income tax to cover funds transferred into Thailand from abroad? I don't understand the mumbo-jumbo about which year income is earned that makes it taxable, maybe a tax filer can make it more understandable- if there are any such filers. For the life of me, I don't know how to prove that money in my home bank account was earned in any particular year. Maybe people are opening up bank accounts every January 1, and then stopping deposits after December 31, and do have documented earnings for every year, via multiple bank accounts. For when they file Thai tax returns.

How many expats are even aware of the old rule?

During the height of the pandemic, it would have been prudent to ban unvaccinated people from flying.

If you are against babies getting polio, measles and other standard shots, you have a special problem.

if enough people had been vaccinated in 2021, yeah the virus could have been stopped. The anti-vaxxers kept the pandemic going.

Bullpucky Like when Biden said that there wasn't going to be a mask mandate, he meant for the general public, not surgeons. Or politicians saying stupid things = science is wrong. Nobody lied more than the liars who claimed Covid is a hoax.

the video calls Trump's claims that the pandemic would go away in 15 days "a lie".

Rather than use the word "implemented", I should have written about waiting to see if the new tax scheme is enforced, and how so. That's the real question: will the new rule changes impact the 100,000s of ex-pats in Thailand? Or will they remain blissfully ignorant of Thai taxation?

i have left for a 6 month travel plan, with a brief return in April. Right now, I am in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. If this new scheme is dropped, I can cut my travel short. If not, I will complete my travel outside Thailand. Next year, I will monitor what happens to the 100,000s of ex-pats who are supposed to file.

I hope the new scheme won't be enforced, but I'm not taking any chances.

Assuming Trump wins NH, the question is going to be his vote totals vs 2016: are his fans turning out like before? Some people are saying his support is softer now. I certainly want Trump to be nominee this time around, but I'm not voting.

This poll has zero predictive value.

The virus has evolved, so depending on 2 year old vaccines is pointless. Thailand should have updated vaccines to deal with future variants of the virus.

False. Your panties are in a bun over a minor problem.

if there is still no enforcement planned, then expats will continue to ignore it.

I am posting the typical thinking of ex-pats who even know about this new tax scheme. They put it in the same bucket as the digital wallet or closing the cannabis shops, ie pipedreams. Outside of the small numberbof expats who have "official" income in Thailand (ie they are involved with the tax system already), there is no recognition that this scheme will be implemented. I have left Thailand for 6 months, as a precaution, but I suspect not many others are preparing for this.
