Whatever team Trump's prior record on appeals, it would only take one to overturn Judge Engoron's initial initial summary judgment fraud ruling -- and the first level NY State appellate court has yet to issue their opinion on that. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23991872/ny-ruling-on-trump-business-fraud.pdf

No. 5: Troy K. Webber, Justice Presiding, David Friedman Lizbeth González Manuel J. Mendez Martin Shulman, Justices. SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPELLATE DIVISION: FIRST DEPARTMENT (their caps)

Updated November 10, 2023 Also Thursday (09NOV), Trump’s lawyers renewed their call to halt the trial at least until the appeals court makes a final decision on Engoron’s fraud finding. In court papers, they wrote that the judge had shown a “gross and open disregard for the integrity of the process” and was causing “mounting irreparable harm” for the defendants. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-letitia-james-fraud-trial-arthur-engoron-new-york-9b8ac3f485607b5aa95f35ab724efcd4

and this from Florida: Ohio Voted to Protect Abortion Rights. Could Florida Be Next? A coalition of groups collecting petition signatures for a ballot protecting abortion rights says its fund-raising got a boost after the Ohio results. By Patricia Mazzei That triumphant streak has propelled campaigns for similar abortion measures in swing, or potentially swing, states, including Arizona, Florida, Nevada and Pennsylvania. But none might be as tantalizing a prize as Florida, which has moved increasingly out of Democrats’ grasp in electoral contests. But getting a question on next year’s ballot in the state is hardly guaranteed. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/11/us/abortion-ballot-measures-florida.html https://archive.is/Gz5Cp

Trump to appear on Minnesota ballot after 14th Amendment challenge dismissed 11/08/23 5:53 PM ET Former President Trump will now appear on the Minnesota ballot after the state Supreme Court dismissed a challenge arguing the former president should be disqualified from the primary ballot under the 14th Amendment. The Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed the case in an order Wednesday, saying neither the courts nor election officials in the state have the authority to prevent the Republican Party from placing Trump as a candidate on the GOP primary ballot. Five Minnesota Supreme Court justices weighed in on the case after two others recused themselves. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4300645-trump-minnesota-ballot-14th-amendment-challenge-dismissed/ (NB this decision involves the MN primary election ballot only)

Thanks. I just went via that YouTube vid and typed into YT search "2024 Thailand taxes" and there is a whole sub-industry in these 'advices'.

well it wasn't on YouTube so I had to quote the NY Times. But others in this topic have already repeatedly said those who stay in Thailand only do so for cheap sex.

Fixed. Yes and because I'm just a cheapo: Nov. 8, 2023 The Justice Department announced charges on Wednesday against three people accused of running a “high-end brothel network” in the Washington and Boston suburbs and unveiled an investigation into potentially hundreds of high-profile clients who had paid for sexual services. The prostitution scheme was run through at least two websites that advertised appointments with Asian women ... They are accused of using “coercive tactics” to draw the women into providing sexual services, for which clients were charged about $350 to $600 per hour. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/us/politics/justice-department-brothel.html

That's OK. Don't give up. Even the RMS Titanic had 4 wonderful days at sea before hitting the iceberg.

Presuming the above was your question and just a formatting error, you might look at this recent post: https://aseannow.com/topic/1268153-wrlife-medical-insurance-experiences/?do=findComment&comment=18485195 ... and not one comment from the Boo-Birds.

According to the Revenue Department, it will seek opinions from the stakeholders affected by the new rule and issue guidelines to provide more clarity. The plan includes an amendment of the personal income tax return form to facilitate the foreign tax credit claim. https://www.mazars.co.th/Home/Insights/Doing-Business-in-Thailand/Tax/Thailand-Tax-Foreign-Income-Taxable-from-2024 e-Form: : Personal Income Tax https://www.rd.go.th/english/62892.html

OK. I don't want to sound like the I'm-alright-Jack type. Whether a Yank or not, I set up my finances years back to handle the 65K+ / month extension and that serendipitously dovetails with the DTA Article 20. Finding out that my wife was in-the-system I only found out after agreeing to marry her.

I have already computed the my current tax obligation without any US-Thai DTA Article 20 items would be about $US 100 per month. And the DTA items if allowed could bring my tax owed to zero. My Thai wife is not a CPA or lawyer. She is the daughter of a Thai RTP cop.

My recommendation would be that Community Pub topics not be linked on the Forum Home and other main forum content pages. If you want to read what's in the Pub, go to the Pub.

Actually my $100 monthly possible tax bill -- using only current deductions no US-Thai DTA Article 20 -- may be even less as I will have a 60,000 baht annual deduction for life insurance premium paid to a Thai Life insurer. Again from the US Embassy Bangkok website: "The Economic Section monitors economic, financial, energy, trade, investment, and labor trends in Thailand. The team presents U.S. views on bilateral and multilateral economic issues to the Thai government and the public." So they may have something to say if it turns out that each Thai provincial RD office is allowed their own interpretation of the US-Thailand DTA. https://th.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulate/bangkok/sections-offices/economic-section

The problem seems not with the "sending organizations" but with the Thai "receiving organizations". I know from personal Thai NGO experience albeit years back that such visa arrangements require the Thai NGO to provide detailed financial information.

No --they scare the <self-deleted> out of me.

Poll. Schmoll.

I'll just add this from the movie Bonnie and Clyde (1967): Farmer: All I can say is, they did right by me - and I'm bringin' me and a mess of flowers to their funeral.
