Gifting the Spouse
That appears to be the point of allowing 20 million baht gifts annually to your spouse. Laws were written by the rich for the rich to protect their wealth. I can't see 20 million baht gift tax exemptions being claimed by 99% of the population. From what I read, spousal gifts don't need a specific reason, and the only qualification is that the donor does not have control over the gift once given. If the gift is used for daily expenses, the giver is receiving personal benefits. If the gift is for honey-bunny to buy a house or car in the receiver's name, it's still a gift even if the donor lives there. The "4 things", if I recall, had something to do with gifts to/from trusts.

Started walking for exercise, but.....
Start off slow. Limit time and pace at first, build up slowly. Where are you walking? Smooth dirt paths or cushioned running tracks are best. Asphalt give some cushion, concrete does not. Wear proper running/walking shoes fit correctly with an appropriate orthopedic insole. It's counterintuitive, but a very thick, soft cushion insert may put your knees/ankles at an awkward angle and cause more pain.

Gifting the Spouse
Wifey called the TRD help line #1161, NOT a local office. Explained I want to gift her a million baht every year, either for Xmas or birthday, into her offshore account in her name. She'll keep it there, and will bring it into Thailand herself when needed, maybe in 5 years, maybe in 10 years. TRD rep says she 'might' have to show the source of funds when she brings it in. A letter from me to my wife, signed and dated, declaring each gift would suffice. Will do more research, of course, but plan will be starting in 2025, 1 million baht equivalent annually into her new brokerage account (Schwab or Fidelity). Print and sign a letter indicating a gift from spouse. She can invest in capital appreciation ETF's that pay little or no dividends. According to Us-Thai DTA, capital gains are tax-free, dividends taxed at 15%. I don't have to worry about exceeding my TEDA when remitting cash to then gift to her, or having to explain the source of funds. She can earn a higher return than fixed account interest, and won't have to pay the obscene fees charged by Thai banks for mutual funds. The only remaining question is how will her remitted funds be categorized. Assuming her gift has increased by 20% or 30%, and she remits a portion of her account balance, how much gift and how much income did she remit?

Speculate. What is in Greenland that makes Trump say it is vital to US security?
It's the only available open space large enough to hold the Panama America canal once we repossess it.

Trump Calls for Return of Panama Canal Over "Unfair" Transit Rates
4D chess, man! Once we own Greenland, as is our right, we can move the canal there once we repossess it! The hole that's left after removal of the canal can be filled in with debris from the glacier dismantled to build Trump casinos! Ha! And you can thank Biden for providing the floating piers to move everything.

British Tourist Faces Charges for 'Destroying an Official Document'
In the US, you can do what you want with your copy of the ticket. You have to sign it to indicate it's been received by you, and then you either pay a fine by mail or have a court appearance. The copy is official, but it is yours to keep. However, if you simply throw it on the ground to show your displeasure, you may receive a fine for littering.

Misuse of the product. Using a toaster to dry your soiled undies voids the warranty.

Hot/Cold kitchen sink mixer tap
There are others. Just do a search on Lazada or Shopee for "hot-cold kitchen faucet." I'm not recommending that one, just pointing out that style is available. Can't be exceptional quality for only 600 baht.

Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
Ummmmm..............who is (p)resident and will sign the bill? That would be lame duck Biden. Trump is just a private citizen, presumptive president elect, although not official until the electoral college votes are certified in January.
