  1. Good advice. Usually works. Unfortunately, sometimes neither branch staff nor call center knows what a stain code might mean, and it's not on their lists. That's when it gets interesting...
  2. that means, the vaccine worked, you got infected but not sick.
  3. You are too sensitive. I told you I am not criticizing you (or the contents of the link), and thanks for the link. I don't think the information is wrong.
  4. You really make me vomit. What knowledge do YOU have? The usual conspiracy crap from YouTube, your "research" from Google, or, even better, Telegram? Yes, we all know, covid was invented by Dr Fauci, who is really Satan in disguise, and who used Bill Gates's money to build all this 5G. Tomorrow I go to saw my head off, so they can extract the chip Bill Gates implanted remotely. You want to join me? 9.30am at the main gate of the Institute of Patholgy?
  5. A well-off farang I know used his connections to get one of the first vaccinations available here, one of those reserved for the slum dwellers of Khlong Toey, where covid was rampant. After he got his third shot, he started to tell people not to get vaccinated, because everybody vaccinated would die within 3 years.
  6. I know Thais who receive money from family overseas. The amounts are hardly taxable, no need to apply gift tax rules if remitting several hundred thousands a year to your pennyless parents in the village. I don't know Thais who get millions per year from abroad and how they handle their taxes. Are you talking about this kind of people?
  7. Not criticizing your post, just stumbling over how their AI equates (supposedly rich) "abroad" with "the West" (wherever that may be - Korea?). Talk about AI bias.
  8. Sounds plausible. About air tickets out of Thailand: Using a foreign CC to buy a ticket originating in BKK from TG in BKK or from EK in BKK = taxable remittance, case 3. Using a foreign CC to buy a ticket originating in BKK from EK in London or from TG in London = no taxable remittance, case 4. It would be nice to know whether TRD agrees to this, but they will probably never tell us.
  9. Yawn... It does, but not 100% and not after one week. Boring
  10. That's just a lie,on the same level like "covid is caused by 5G" Yes. But I have never seen a covid denier or unvaccinated covid patient who did follow through with this. On the contrary, once they got covid, they have the same sense of entitlement to get the best possible treatment (it's not about paying bills) that made them shout "ME! ME! ME!" when they refused all prevention, including vaccines. Selfish, inconsiderate bunch of snowflakes.
  11. See post #3
  12. My sister recently got covid a week after vaccination. That's just too early for the vaccination to have any effect. Bad luck.
  13. How do you know this is very common? The question whether this is common has come up many times in the tax threads, i never saw an answer. I don't doubt what you say, just interested how you know.
  14. For me, personally, the difference is huge. 20 years ago, I spent time with a Thai bureaucrat exactly 10 minutes per year. Including preparation and travel times, 30 - 45 minutes (measured, not guessed). Now, it's a regular occurrence and I spend about 10% of my time with Thai bureaucracy (estimated - a friend estimates 10-15%). Mostly immigration, but there are others, too. Travel to CW is a day trip, every ~75 days (not 90 - and please don't tell me about the 90days-online-fairy). Preparation, including reading up on their latest whims, and producing tons of photocopies, takes ages. I do not enjoy this. Now, with taxation, I can imagine this to increase to 20%. It's a worst case scenario, but if it really gets so bad I will consider my options.
  15. Only for hours, maybe even less. Not official-looking. Anyone can guess thre purpose? Fishing??? (there is an upscale mall next to this place, where they could sell their catch)
  16. Too late - OP has never been heard of again. He was so scared of this toxic snake, he jumped straight into Khlong Bangchin and drowned.
  17. It won't be easier, because TRD won't understand my foreign tax return. Let's start with the subtleties of the difference between Swaziland and Switzerland, or Austria and Australia... (Of course, in my home country they don't know the difference between Thailand and Taiwan - they are not any smarter)
  18. For the poster who sent the laughing emoji: I really, really would want to see how you would react if you get covid, can't breathe anymore, all your Ivermectin didn't help, and the ER staff just laughs at you and doesn't care. We don't do this, we still treat you - but you guys really make me vomit. Once you get it, you typically want all the treatment society (not you) can pay for.
  19. BP has an article today stating that vulnerable groups (over 60 or with preexisting conditions like diabetes, HT, obesity - so the typical AN member) should continue vaccinations. Thailand has more covid than any other country in South East Asia. This year, so far 700,000 infections, 48,000 hospitalized, 205 deaths. That's much better than it used to be, but compare it to influenza: 490,000 infections, 36 deaths. (That's influenza, not some banal upper respiratory infection whith an adenovirus. If you have ever known someone with influenza, you know it's a real disease. Covid is worse, it's not gone away and it wont go away). I will get my next shot soon.
  20. In the Swiss embassy video, the TRD official said you have to show your home- country tax return. English would be ok.
  21. Prachachuen 28, opposite DBU reliably flooded every time it rains Prachachuen itself is not flooded, starts a few meters inside the soi
  22. Seems not to work with android
  23. Is it possible to block someone in a way his posts are not displayed to me anymore? (Too much clutter posted by some people)
