The airport is (mostly) clean. The VIP car is clean. The VIP section of the hospital is sparkling. The hotel you stay in after is clean. Problem might be insurance declining payment because you traveled to another country for treatment. If you must pay yourself, India is a bargain even with airfare.

Yes, it's now prominent in the OP, but how many Thai Krungsri customers read AN? And that's NOT a direct link from the top of the main page, it's a sublink under "Digital Banking." And it doesn't give you the detailed information that your automatic payments will be cancelled. Surprise! It's NOT prominent on the website, hidden 2/3 of the way down amongst the clutter, where few online users would find it. Most online users would go to the mainpage and immediately sign in to their account, where there is no announcement anywhere. This calls for a new hub.

Okay, so here it is https://www.krungsri.com/en/about-krungsri/about-us/overview/announce/kol-will-be-discontinued Not many online users will find this, and will get this bigly surprise Please note that all your scheduled transactions will be cancelled automatically and you will be able to access your transaction history through Krungsri Online (KOL) until September 30, 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It's not prominent, dear. It's hidden in the announcements on the main page, visible if you scroll down 2/3 of the way.............not something anyone would do when logging in. It's here on the homepage: https://www.krungsri.com/en/personal nothing yet........OH!!! Now why would anyone logging in go past the top splash of the website? You would click "Sign In" and go to your account, where there are no announcements. This will be a bigly surprise for many come October!

Nope. No have. Tried English and Thai versions, various pages. No indication the online service will go away. Found it! There is nothing at all shown when logging on to your online account. I went to the home page, nothing at the top, no big banner indicating shutdown. But scroll down, way down........past the boarding card promotion, past the ATM promotion, past the foreign exchange rates, past the wealth generation, past the young generation, past the krungsri payroll............there you find announcements. https://www.krungsri.com/th/about-krungsri/about-us/overview/announce/kol-will-be-discontinued

In that case, since there's no way to police the nation to ensure that all helmets meet DOT/FDA certifications standards, then we'd be best to ban ALL helmets. While we're at it, we should ban seatbelts, since it's possible to wear them incorrectly.

South Korea has the answer. Johnny Somali Guaranteed Prison Time in South Korea After AI Deepfake Scandal The controversial American live streamer, notorious for his brazen antics and public disruptions, is now guaranteed to face prison time in South Korea. A fifth and most severe charge violating the country’s Special Act on Sexual Violence Crimes has obliterated any remaining hope for leniency. .. Prosecutors revealed that Somali is now facing charges for violating South Korea’s Special Act on Sexual Violence Crimes. The charge stems from an AI-generated deepfake video that depicted popular Korean streamer BongBong in fabricated intimate scenes with Somali. Under South Korean law, the creation, distribution, or possession of non-consensual AI-generated explicit content is classified as a sexual crime. Legal experts have confirmed that this offense carries a mandatory prison sentence of up to seven years. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/johnny-somali-guaranteed-prison-time-222406985.html?guccounter=1

Is this only for foreigner accounts? Wife's Krungsri online account doesn't show that message.

Thailand is certainly ready! They've got an aircraft carrier with no aircraft, subs with no engines, blimps with no helium, and bomb detectors made of paper mache. All they need now is a couple thousand more generals.... "...Thailand has a notoriously top-heavy military, with about 1,700 generals – or one general for every 212 soldiers...."

It's a regular Romeo and Juliette drama.

Doesn't really matter, any helmet is better'n nothing. Recycled styrofoam packing material duck-taped around your noggin will provide significantly more protection than bare scalp when your cranium contacts a hard surface.

And just how will this "refund" be handled? This is a TRANSFER tax, not income tax. Will it be a 100% refund for US citizens with yet another special IRS form required, or will it be a credit to income tax on the 1040? Expats on lower sociable security don't owe INCOME tax, have no INCOME tax withheld, so have nothing to apply the credit to.

Financial institutions are required to adhere to "know your customer" regulations, so they likely know ezzackly who is/not a US citizen, but that doesn't mean they're going to reprogram their system to account for exceptions. Simplest for them is to deduct tax from all overseas transfers. Leave it to the customer to beg for a refund. But there's more to worry about...... British fintech Wise to move primary listing to the U.S. in blow to London stock exchange Wise will move to a dual listing, with its main listing hub shifting to the U.S. while maintaining a secondary listing in London. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/wise-to-move-primary-listing-to-us-in-blow-to-london-stock-exchange.html That puts WISE under the thumb of the tanned god of finance.

That was a boo-boo. Don't go to TRD office, go to the filing website to check status. There will be a list of documents you need to provide. Then go ONLINE to submit requested documentation. Not same address as online filing. https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-efiling-web/authen/MTA2 Not correct. Only assessable remittances are included in your PIT, and if you are under certain limits, no need to file. That's strange. There is NO FEE to file online. There is a 200 baht fee for filing late. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...............1000 baht filing fee?

Also unclear is whether US citizens are exempt from the tax when transferring, or will have to apply for a refund or credit.

Correction: Time may tell.

Been dere, dun dat.

Sure ya did, buddy, sure ya did. And I've got a hub of hubs to sell ya's! Hubba-hubba!

Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s Uh-oh! Sanctions and tariffs incoming..............

I take that to mean, no, you did not get the majikal "tax clearance certificate" of which you boast. Shirley, you'd be just itchin' to post a photo to show how fun and easy it was to obtain. I'ma callin' shenanigans!

Don't be phobic! This is pride munf.

In other words, your life isn't worth $60. I'm fine with that. But fair's fair. No helmet = no emergency services and no insurance coverage! In case of accident with head trauma, we kick your expiring corpus into the gutter for the soi dogs.

Nothing in the official statements say anything about a limited timeframe. This is often added by the journalist with a "for example" added as explanation. Also unclear is whether the newly announced "tax holiday" for income prior to Jan 01 2024 will be rescinded. "Hub of making tax planning nigh on unpossible"

Every bank branch exists in its own universe, with its own set of rules. Take whatever documentation you have. Passport and pinkie or TIN card. Yellow book if you got it. Passport number does not appear on the refund letter. Couple years ago, I took my first refund letter to KT but they would not issue cash. Required to open an account for deposit. Thems was the rules at my branch in my town on that day with that day's clerk. YKMV!
