  1. I'm happy to hear that has worked out for you, mate.
  2. All the "evidence" they need is that the white nationalist maga movement hates seeing any minorities in positions of power and falsely conflates them as all being incompetent. They do accept TOKEN minority people as long as these TOKEN people express support for the overall maga movement which is at its core white nationalist. They are particularly very obsessed with fomenting ignorant violence inciting hatred towards transgender people. Authoritarian movements do need their scapegoats. The truth is there are both competent and incompetent people in important positions of all kinds of descriptions. You can't generalize.

  4. Nobody said it was new. But as in Australia, Greece, Portugal, etc. things are now very much worse. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ewe4p9128o
  5. He isn't even president yet. What a mustard suck.
  6. Maga doesn't want to talk about climate change. So we get this kind of idiocy.
  7. The fact that he did indeed win landslide or not (in this case -- NOT) does not in any way whatsoever indicate he was a good choice. He was a shockingly bad choice.
  8. Here is something people can do to test how Thailand will deal with US retirement accounts but I would suggest waiting a long time to give them time to develop their policy. Only at offices in expat havens with lots of retired Americans. Only for people without a TIN. Offices are supposed to turn away people seeking a TIN with no accessable income. So go in there if all your other Income is excluded but you've got a IRA withdrawal. Ask. Do I need a TiN? Have you remitted any accessable income? Well I'm not sure. Please help I withdrew 300k baht from my U.S. IRA and remitted that to Thailand but the value of my IRA was 3 million baht end of 2023. Answer: ?????
  9. My understanding as I've posted before are IRAs Roth and Traditional and also 401k withdrawals are fully accessable if remitted to Thailand while a Thai tax resident. For example 10k usd withdrawal, 10k remitted, 10k accessable income in Thailand. All classed as accessable pension income. This oddly even though Roth IRA withdrawals are tax free by the IRS.
  10. The inauguration of twice impeached, multiple convicted felon, adjudicated rapist that is.
  11. I'm fascinated by your strange usage of wobbling. Is that a peculiarity of your provincial dialect?
  12. Winning doesn't made a horrible person good. It gives a horrible person power. He won by a slim 1.5 percent margin but yes he did win. If you find reading my posts tedious, may I suggest utilizing the ignore list?
  13. You need to stop playing disingenuous games.
  14. Golf of Not going to lower egg prices suckers
  15. Lincoln Project is from conservative Republicans DUH.
  16. You don't mind just making stuff up out of thin air, do you? Very maga of you. I have no time for such garbage. The topic here is about JANUARY 6, 2021. BYE.
  17. As you can read before my current understanding is as I posted before seeing US retirement accounts as very different than regular bank savings or regular outside retirement account investments. To add for regular outside retirement account investments I think the Thai rules are clear. It's irrelevant what you held before 2024. The accounting is done based on a profit cost basis, if any, if remitted as a Thai tax resident. But if you made that move before 2024 and banked it then that cash would be excluded. I don't think we're going to know anything totally definitive on this issue for a long time and even then it may be office by office. Reports of audit results where someone is challenged for not doing it the way I posted would be great precedent, but who knows when or if such reports will come forward. On the other hand, doing it the way I currently understand as correct would create the maximum tax liability of any interpretation, so there would be zero reason for that to be audited. As the Integrity Legal guy says -- no taxing authority is in the business of helping people pay LESS tax.
  18. Spoke too soon. Apparently I need to upgrade True Money to use it for Grab Food by uploading visa documents. Two days for approval.
  19. Possibly free for a short first meetlng. Anyway my main issue is IRAs and I still think by the time I actually have to deal with this that there will probably be actual reports about this for the Pattaya office.
