Lorry

The number on the card is not automatically a TIN. It can be used as such. Many people have a pink card and no TIN. Many have a pink card and a different TIN. No Depends on staff No Whoever gave you the laughing emoji - that's the correct answer.

Makes sense. Like a police line. Passing boats are actually a bit reluctant to cross it (they do cross it anyway). Thx, smart answer

I don't think so They have a whole flotilla of electric BMA boats that regularly patrol and clean the khlong. And they have some "flotsam traps" installed, helps a lot.

Can't take a photo, right now they are not doing it

I am really wondering what they do this for

No I thought it would be, but I was wrong

It's a rope with buoys every 3 meters or so, the khlong is maybe 20 meters wide. They don't use it to get to the other side. I couldn't see whether there is a net attached or not. They don't do this often.

My tax office nowadays "fills out" (ie leaves mostly blank) a PND 90 and makes you sign it. Sometimes they even investigate: Officer: คุณไม่มีรายได้อื่น Farang: grunts

At my tax office, the form the foreigner signs is a complete tax return. Of course, nobody realizes this.

Thx for reminding us of this law and clarifying its implications, someone mentioned it a long time ago and it has been buried by too many other posts. It means that TRD will not know all the activities of your bank account. They do know your WHT and your interest, but this is, in my experience, treated quite separate from other income. I suspect, that, if they audit you (a big if), they can demand to show them your bank account activities?

The article is pure advertising and contains several factual errors.

Level 4 Chinese style It is one thing to find all this outsourced gain-of-function research highly suspicious (I agree) and to not discard the possibility that covid came from a lab (quite possible as far as i can tell). It is another thing to claim this as a proven fact, which it isn't. The Chinese did a good job at hiding the origins of covid as much as possible. About your "critical thinking": did you learn it at YouTube or did you graduate to tiktok already?

Did you have the impression that it's their general policy to accept foreigners with pink card/yellow book? Or was it up to the branch manager?

It's not NO ATM, but they are very, very few

No. Aeon were the last, but now they all charge a fee if you use international ATM. Some foreign ATM cards will reimburse you (Schwab? not sure)

First of all, most Thais don't know them. Few branches. No ATM network. Employer will not send your salary there, for sure. Easier and more convenient to stick to the well-known, ubiquitous names.

CIMB gives a bit more interest because otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to use them. But as chiang mai said, they don't let a foreigner open a fixed deposit. If your branch allows it, I would not hesitate to do it.

Some people have 3 13-digit Thai ID numbers (you got one when you got covid vaccines, another one for pink card, another one for TIN)

You may have a pink ID already, but when you go to the revenue office to file your first (paper) return, they may still issue you a different PIN.

That's not correct. Formerly, you could get 20000 interest without WHT. Once you had 20000 in your passbook, you just opened a new account and got 20000 without WHT. Rinse and repeat. People who did that had no TIN, paid no taxes, did not claim back WHT. Then, about 8(?) years ago, this changed, you couldn't do it anymore. One time 20000, that's it. This had always been the law, but before, TRD didn't check whether the same person had multiple accounts. Now they do check. The account holder still had no TIN, didn't pay taxes and did not claim back WHT.

It depends a lot of how early in the course of CLL you have been diagnosed. In the West, people are usually diagnosed before they have any symptoms, at routine examinations. In the beginning of CLL, it doesn't require drugs, just watchful waiting. This period usually lasts years, often 10 years. But you will need the initial tests (some are expensive) and you will need the "watching" of watchful waiting (a visit to the hematologist several times a year). In Thailand, CLL is very rare, often only discovered when people get symptoms. It's a different story then. Treatment in Bangkok Hospital or a similar place, if money is no object, will be treatment by relatively inexperienced doctors (because it's so rare), but access to the latest technology or medication may be easier than in many Western countries (I don't know how it's in Australia).

Correct. He is an expert for these things. Now, that I don't have a brain anymore, I have become a big fan of Boris.

This is generally not true. It may be true in some amphoes. Energy amphoe is different This is also not true. The number on the pink card can be used as a TIN, if you register it as such. It is not automatically a TIN. Best advice.

Every serious Telegram-researcher knows, it was invented by Dr Fauci and his illegitimate child, Obama Harris. Rothschild then financed Bill Gates' implementation through 5G. Last week, I had the chip removed they had remotely planted into my brain. After a prophylactic total cerebrectomy, I am now an enlightened anti-vaxxer.

F.... foreigners are generally difficult customers. They ask many stupid questions and have many weird ideas (opening post is a prime example). They don't know how to use condo apps or payment QR codes. And if the bathroom has a leak that needs to be fixed, they are on a 3-months holiday to Greenland.
