Lorry

If the customer later wants his WHT back - for which he has to get a TIN first -, there are triplicate forms for this from the bank. TRD then enters these manually into their system.

The TRD system doesn't work with often changing (as opposed to Thai ID) passport numbers, and certainly not with weird foreign names, like Ilan (that's all, only one name) or Pedro María Alvárez Gonzáles (can you parse it?)

Because you have a TIN

I don't travel there

I missread "...in your brain" Would be more convenient, wouldn't it?

I had to read this 3 times. So, a remittance is a remittance by the receiver, not by the sender. Now, that's an idea.

I didn't say that. They do send. But that doesn't mean the resp. foreigner "is in the RD system", whatever that may mean.

Yanhee?

There is generally no need for foreigners to report interest they received from Thai banks to the TRD.

Sounds reasonable, but it's not the case.

I wouldn't have wanted cortisone in the first place. And I would not have an invasive procedure done by someone who doesn't trust his own sterility. But some doctors wouldn't tell you before (I once had this experience, and paid the price). But anyway: the person who knows best how sterile his work was done, is the doctor who did it. So I would follow his advice.

I haven't considered this, it's not exactly the typical constellation. The poster didn't hint at this possibility. I do consider it now, and can tell you this: we don't know, what the TRD will think about it or whether they even care. If they care, they won't like it. Whether they would consider it tax evasion? HMRS would (rules posted in the 1st thread iirc), but TRD hopefully wouldn't. I wouldn't do something so blatantly showing them you consider them a banana republic when they can audit me 10 years back. "The transaction has bypassed Thailand" - no, it hasn't. The service has been delivered in Thailand. Only the money flow has bypassed Thailand. People devise many "smart" tax evasion strategies of dubious legality. How smart these people are, shows the fact that they publish it on the internet. Many ideas posted are so stupid and outlandish that it makes me cringe.

Are you kidding? This is so obviously tax evasion, it should be clear to anybody.

Nice. My home-country is a world leader in many much less enjoyable things.

You don't understand what kicking means to Thais and how serious it is. Kicking for them may not even involve bodily contact. Try kicking a motorcycle guy. But write your last will first.

It wasn't his "garden" It wasn't even fenced in, and whoever built these stairs knew very well why not to fence it in. Anybody who has lived in Thailand for longer than a couple of weeks knows that you cannot legally build like this. And if he was too thick to give a shït, his wife and her high contacts in the police could have told him. But reading your and many other posts, there seem to be an awful lot of ugly foreigners who think and probably act like him - exactly the reasons the Thais are so upset.

Has that one been acqitted, too, or are they still discussing the price?

So, has he been acquitted yet? Maybe he slipped...

You can't see he kicked her. And the way she walked away, any kick couldn't be have been very hard. But what you can see, he keeps insulting her (a compoundable offence also in Switzerland) before and after the " kick". If someone slips, there is a break in the flow of speech. And if someone slips and accidently kicks someone, even in Switzerland people would apologize.

It wasn't she who was compensated

On a serious note: It means a sharp reduction of backpackers spontaneously coming overland (AN members rejoice). Places like Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam - you can just go. Thailand has entry hurdles. It also means a sharp reduction of elderly farang visitors (eg AN members). I know many who find all things digital a nuisance. Fortunately for Thailand, there is a nearby big country where people are used to digital surveillance, they will feel at home.

That's really a visa required from everybody. But the system will be set up by the professionals who gave us electronic 90 days. So, it will be quick and easy. And please buy a smartphone to apply (remember the people buying a smartphone to apply for the digital wallet?). We are still discussing whether foreign smartphones can be used. They forgot to mention that an ETA can be done by an agent for a small fee

I understand your worries. But there is nothing cynical about calling your tax advisors statements nonsense. If you read the revenue code (it's not as difficult to read as our home countries' revenue codes), or the Q&As from the Revenue Department (posted several times, but admittedly, buried deep in the tax threads), or the pinned tax guide, or the tax threads, you would see: the only one who is cynical here is your tax advisor who takes you for a ride.

An Israeli once was met by the police when arriving at Thailand, because of the indecent act of having an appointment with a 14 y.o. girl. They hadn't even met yet.

Thx for posting. I hope you are doing fine. I know that ARI clinic in the parking lot of Samitivej Sukhumvit. May I ask what time of the day you went there and how fast (or slow) things went there? Did they do PCR or ATK? I am asking because I just had a not so good experience at another private hospital, not too far from there by taxi, where things went very slow. BTW I can confirm that Paxlovid is available at Samitivej, for the price quoted by Arkady, 24,960.
