A good news thread for once.

Phuket taxi mafia gets a kicking . 

Looks like the sex creator, should have ducked or stayed on target.

Can be a nasty business one in the eye.  

What a nasty P.O.S.

Hit and run, the way of the coward, so common in Thailand. 

Hope the guy makes a full recovery.

What nonsense.

 

A beer expert who can't tell the difference between water and Guinness is obviously not a beer expert. Or appreciates beer. Or has any taste buds. 

Go try it.

Your are just mouthing off now.

Sorry I forgot I'm talking to a beer snob.

Nothing is for free in Thailand. 

Not 100% true.

Years back I went into a Top Charoen glasses shop,  as the screw had dropped out one of the arms.

They fixed it for free. good job. 

VD is also  free here.

Tests have shown that self-declared beer lovers are not able to identify their most favourite or most disliked beer in a blinded test of standard pilsener beers.

We used to play a similar game years ago back in my local in the uk.

Glass of Bitter.

Glass of Larger.

Glass of Guinness.

Glass of water.

The expert ha ha, was blindfolded. he was allowed to pick the glass up and immediately take one sip only.

and put the glass down, then he had 5 seconds to say what he had just drank,  out of the 4 choices.

Very, very  few experts got it 100% right.

It was a fun game, for the experts. 

Beer snobs in Thailand.

How embarrassing for men.

The Thai's know they are on to something with this, and no way will they just let it fade away. 

 

2025 is just the start.  This tax policy will evolve, but at the end of the day, it will have something in it for all foreigners living here.

Yes think your right.

Maybe they will give us all something like,  free mango and sticky rice once a year at counter 

24 in the immigration car park.

   And I thought that Keyboard Warriors don't exist anymore , seems like I was wrong about that .

There could be some truth in it.

I think the chaos will only get worse as the 31st March approaches.  Then, there will be cases of enforcement being publicized to ponder. 

 

Interesting times ahead, but in my opinion, at the end of the day, the Thai's will turn a baht out of it.

Yes, think your right, should be some interesting stories over the coming weeks.

it's all a big crock of Do Do. fun times ahead. not.

You're welcome.  I have no idea regarding rental income.

 

The purpose of my post was to highlight the current income tax exemptions.  Maybe they apply to your circumstances or not.  Apply them if and where necessary.

 

I will not be applying for a TIN, as I have already posted on AN.   Because my UK state pension is under my 560k annual exemptions.   And my military pension is covered under the DTA.

 

Others may  decide to apply for a TIN, and that is their choice.  

 

Yes it's all a bit mad at present.

I got a TIN number last month only because my offshore bank,  have come back again on me for this.

Here are the Personal Allowances.  Apply them to your situation. 

 

Personal Allowance for self (PA1) - 60,000

b) Personal Allowance for wife (PA2) - 60,000 ( not working/ employed)

c) Over age 65 years exemption (OAE) - 190,000

d) 50% of pension income received, up to 100k (PD) - 100,000

e) In addition, the first 150,000 of assessable income is zero rated and free of tax.

 

Hope that helps.
 

 

Well I'm not so sure.

I wish to side step the revenue office.

I think you may need to file if you apply the standard deductions.

Also I have no idea if the deductions apply to foreign rental income.

but understand you can have a 30% deduction on the gross rental income or more if you can prove it.

so at present. I'm going to stick to the 120,000 for now.

Thank you for your reply.

Good idea. that’s essentially my plan as well for now, at least until we see how things unfold over the next year.

 

When you say you’ll only bring in a maximum of 120,000, is there a specific reason for that amount? I believe the first 150,000 is already tax-exempt, plus you would have a personal allowance on top of that.

60,000 me 60,000 for the wife.

and no tax return needs to be filed.

Well I think that's correct.

If it's more all well and good.

Oops

Easy and cheap to put a stop to irresponsible speeding but the outcry from motorists would prevent it. 

 

Put these in pairs 100 meters apart all along the beach road and speeding would be difficult and lives saved.

 

BUT.....

 

Accident was on second road jomtien.

Not beach road.

Jomtien second road is a race track for all now.

So dangerous.

Watch out if you travel on this road or try to cross the road as a pedestrian.

Very crazy days right now.

Hope the couple make a full recovery.

and the motor bike and the road.
