I’m waiting for the next shoe to drop and we see old photos of him holding a cat…

Not sure why your getting you knickers in a twist about paying taxes?... Has any Thai government entity formally asked the tens of thousands of expats living here to file income tax return?... (They have spent 10+ years trying to make a properly functional website for us to simply file our 90 day report)... I'd wait until the sky actually falls before pulling the trigger and buy a 900k 5 year visa...

Agree her soft shell are not to my taste... But the hard shell and corn tortillas are great... Its a bit of a fusiony place... I really like the assortment or pickled extras that the food is served with ;-)...

Yes joking about Taco Bell... But for a really good taco check out La Casita inside the moat... Especially thier hardshell pork red chile tacos!... 80 baht apiece with free tortillas and salsa 😉 https://maps.app.goo.gl/a1GKXNa72uRtSoXm6?g_st=ac

Dukes pizza seems to vary a bit in taste from location... The best and most consistent over the 15 years I've been here is the Ping River location...

I think he ment to say panang (Phanaeng) curry… Which is delicious there 😉

Taco Bell has just opened up a stone throw away from Tha Phea Gate (Next to a dispensary;-)… I slowly back out of the room…

We alternate between Dukes and Pizza Your heart for my weekly pizza fix ;-)… What I’d really like is a good deep dish or Detroit styled pizza!…

Does anyone know of a good 60+ Seniors Muay Thai School that has an no body contact training technique, air conditioned and post soapy massage towel service?…

Compare that to Captian Bonespurs who became wealthy by stealing his wealth from a father with dementia...

It's only a matter of time and we will see old photos of him holding a cat... Curious?... I wonder what his drag name was?...

This is just a rehashing of the “We’re going to build a wall and Mexico is gonna pay for it”… Red meat for his willfully ignorant followers… Maga does not want a border solution they want a shiny object to scare people…

Two questions… Is there anyway to confirm that the SSA has received the 7162 form that was returned to them? What is the procedure to change one address with the SSA?… Is changing the address on one’s online account account sufficient to change address or does one actually have to file an address change in writing?

There are actually two Huen Phen restaurants… The corner is a lunch place as you describe but at night they have a diner restaurant next door that serves Traditional Thai in a museum like atmosphere…

Yeah I think I’ll just go the IDD route… Seems pretty straightforward… The one question I have is about ongoing reporting using this method?… I seem to have seen posts where you must report that you are still alive periodically… How does that work?… Can I do that via my SS.gov account?

Yeah, That is an option… Sadly I’ve led such a healthy life I’ve outlived most all of them ;-)…

Did we receive any transparency in any of his exchanges?... In November 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were being held by the Taliban, in exchange for the release of three senior Taliban leaders being held in jails in Afghanistan. In December 2019, the U.S. did a prisoner exchange with Iran, freeing Xiyue Wang, a graduate student at Princeton University who was serving a 10-year sentence in Iran on espionage charges. To secure Wang’s release, the U.S. freed Masoud Soleimani, an Iranian scientist convicted of export violations. In July 2020, the Trump administration secured the release of Michael White, a Marine veteran jailed in Iran on charges of insulting the country’s supreme leader, in exchange for the release of a dermatologist convicted on export violations. In October 2020, a deputy assistant to Trump helped broker a deal to free two Americans being held hostage by Iranian-backed militants in Yemen in exchange for the release of about 250 Houthi rebels being held in Oman.

Hello PiB, Im interested in setting my Social Security payment up as an ACH as you describe above… I have access to my SS account online and am familiar with setting up the ACH using it…. Assume it just a matter of putting it BK Bank ACH (026008691) and my Thai Bangkok Bank account number. My question is do I need to contact Bangkok Bank and inform them that they will be getting an ACH transfer to their NY Branch from Social Security?

Like that option, bit being from the US and also having a Wise US dollar account attached that has interest income I can't see Wise letting me have the account without a US address for tax reasons... Maybe I'm over thinking this... Hopefully others from the US will chime in with their experiences..

It’s my understanding that Wise accounts must have an address in the country they are setup in… I could be wrong and if so that would be a solution… Do you have a US Wise account with a Thai primary address?

The issue is how does someone retired in Thailand work around this issue? I’m asking for advise from others who may have experienced this and how they resolved this short of moving back to the US and having a “residence”…

That works!… Thanks it’s a nice security addition

Hopefully that’s it… As Insaid I went into the app where my address is but didn’t see an “Update” option… I just hit save and it returned me to the previous page…

Has anyone been notified that a US mail forwarding address is not acceptable by Wise? If so what was your workaround?

Don’t see that option in the apps privacy security section or in notifications section?…
