Yes, seems to be the same as the announcement in May. Sorry, my second link was a repeat of the first, so what is the substantive difference (apart from text, date etc) between: 19 May https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3028760/department-to-amend-tax-on-foreign-income-remittance and 5 August https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3081357/law-exempting-tax-on-foreign-income-in-the-offing

Can someone tell me the difference between this article from Bangkok Post on 19 May 2025: https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3028760/department-to-amend-tax-on-foreign-income-remittance and this article from Bangkok Post on 5 August 2025: https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3028760/department-to-amend-tax-on-foreign-income-remittance apart from the obvious 3 month time lapse?

I misread your statement as three quarters of an hour, and I assumed the "safe side" meant getting a night in a good hotel, food etc plus another EUR600.

@Andycoops @BLMFem Is it legal for 16 year old girls to be working in a spa, (at Mar-a-Largo)? More specifically, what was their job? Handing out towels, giving massages? @Liverpool LouThese were literally Trump's own words at Turnberry, https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-stole-virginia-giuffre-other-employees-from-mar-a-lago-spa-trump and on board Air Force One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-umQ115Vk&ab_channel=AssociatedPress @CallumWK Virginia Giuffre did not successfully sue Prince Andrew. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum, out of court, under seal. No verifiable settlement figure has or can be released about how much was paid by Prince Andrew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffre_v._Prince_Andrew

@HappyExpat57 "A child predator making demands?....." Not sure which one you're referring to. @bamnutsak Perhaps this one? @JAG Whilst your points about Prince Andrew are spot on, he has admitted no liability, and despite wild claims about the amount of payout to Virginia Giuffre, the amount was secret, and the "millions" claimed by some are probably greatly exaggerated; her death and Will might shed some light, but I expect that is protected information too. Trump is also a convicted felon, but that didn't stop him becoming POTUS. Her sentence is 20 years. She's 63.

I always have a print out of my savings account, (also like yours, only used for the THB800K IMM monies), each page of which is signed by the bank, (Krungsri). I thought IMM required 1) bank letter and 2) signed printed copy of savings transactions 3) passbook etc. (I go to CW too, and these are the documents my gofer asks me to provide.)

The Crown was hardly historical. Unfortunately so many people believe it's what actually happened.

There's nothing wrong with the grandeur of Windsor Castle; the State Rooms are as magnificent or even more grand than those at Buckingham Palace. The only loyalty he respects demands is towards him. It's a one way street. Prime Ministers are not accorded State Visits, (as in the case of Canada, King Charles III is Head of State, and of 14 other realms, including New Zealand and Australia). It is only fitting that Trudeau would be given a dinner hosted by the then Prime Minister; it wasn't a State Dinner, which is only for heads of state.

As previously mentioned, my letter, not cheque (check) states these 3 options to receive the funds; it turns out 3 is not available, and 1 and 2 are open to interpretation, in as much as "identify by national ID" is not specified. I showed both my passport and my Thai Pink ID card, but that was of no interest: It would be wonderfully simple if they just sent me a cheque, (or even credited my account through Prompt Pay), but that does not seem to be an option they are offering.

Yes, I think opening an account with Krung Thai is the only solution, and I imagine that is a joy unto itself, (potentially with documentation that is verging on the too hard); I don't know whether they would accept Yellow Book, Passport, Pink ID etc. Getting a proof of address from IMM is really self-defeating, as it costs more than the WHT.

Yep. Different rules. I went to Krung Thai with the letter, my passport, my Pink ID and my Krungsri account passbook on which I have Prompt Pay. They would not pay out. They said I had to go to Krungsri to register my account with my TIN. Went to Krungsri next door, (who initially wanted me to go back to Krung Thai). Anyway, they said as my Prompt Pay with them was registered with my phone number, they could not accept my TIN. My account ID is my passport, so not sure whether that clashes. Anyway, obviously a system designed in a vacuum to reality. I suppose the only option left is to open a Krung Thai account. Or just bin the refund letter. I am past caring.

Noted, per my comments, above just now. Tks.

Well, I went to my branch on Tuesday to get mine sorted out. It seems I opened the Krungsri app on my old phone, (in 2020, although I never remember doing so, or ever using it*), and didn't delete it, so when I tried to open it on my new(ish) phone it stated I already had the app, even tough it never showed in my apps list. Anyway, now sorted. So I have the Krungsri app, plus I have a Krungsri Biz app (for a joint account), so I couldn't add the sole account to that. *I'm only a spring chicken 68 year old, although memory seems to be a failing; what happens after I turn 70 is anyone's guess. The only issue I have with the Krungsri app is I cannot read a transaction list for say 6-12 months, (as is possible with online banking). Maybe something I haven't yet mastered, and reluctant to eff around with it, as apart from anything else, it has my IMM 800K dosh in it, which I don't want affected. You will be able to use the Biz app even after 70, despite their blurb and what they say. My partner is 71 and it worked perfectly; others too have reported successful opening of Biz app even though they are 70+.
