Taxation of Ex-Pats pensions etc.
Ben Zioner replied to LittleBear57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nonsense. "The Common Reporting Standard (CRS), developed in response to the G20 request and approved by the OECD Council on 15 July 2014, calls on jurisdictions to obtain information from their financial institutions and automatically exchange that information with other jurisdictions on an annual basis. It sets out the financial account information to be exchanged, the financial institutions required to report, the different types of accounts and taxpayers covered, as well as common due diligence procedures to be followed by financial institutions. The Standard consists of the following four key parts: - A model Competent Authority Agreement (CAA), providing the international legal framework for the automatic exchange of CRS information; - The Common Reporting Standard; - The Commentaries on the CAA and the CRS; and - The CRS XML Schema User Guide" Aggregated data hmmmh? Look at the Schema... -

I live in Thailand, where a good steak will set you back a minimum of $33 and a basic bottle of red another $33, while the waitresses are getting fatter day by day while measuring 5 feet.

Thai tourism targets expats with special deals
Ben Zioner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry guys but the Revenue Department has just decided that taking holidays abroad will save me 30% of the value of the trip in income tax. I might even bring back some spare cash to add value to my trips. Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia have more to offer for cheaper anyhow. -
Doesn't look like an SUV.

You're not an Alien? How disappointing.

Thailand could extend visa-free entry from 30 to 60 days
Ben Zioner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"According to tourism minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol, the extension would mainly apply to countries in and around Europe, including Germany, Scandinavia, the UK and the Commonwealth of Independent States, which includes Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan." I didn't read "no France", but I read no France. -
Yes but I am a sinner. And I had a look at my ultrasound pics this morning and it was pretty ominous. Also I am 71 and still acceptably fit. So I'd rather do it now, than in a few years when I am less able to cope, or when it could clash with other treatments.

Ford Loses $32k for every EV sold
Ben Zioner replied to pedro01's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Of course, they don't have the philosopher's stone, as the Chinese have. Thirty years ago IBM reengineered into a services provider, so the future of Ford lies into people and goods transportation. May be the shipping of cars from China to the USA. -
Got a series of episodes of intense right abdominal discomfort, between Christmas last year and this July.I Suspected Gallstones, adjusted my diet somewhat and didn't have any painful symptoms since. Got checked yesterday, at Bumrungrad, by ultrasound and confirmed that I had now more stones (<10mm) than 5 years ago (CT/Scan, which I had forgotten). Doctor recommended removal, I said ok let's do it in January, but only if you get pre-approval from Cigna first. As a matter of interest I asked to nurse what the cost was; she showed me a (20233) package for one night in-patient at a cost of 234k. No problem I said, if I don't pay. Guys make sure you got a proper insurance, Thai immigration are right, with this regard.

So, not France? Too many Arabs, right.
