Income tax on foreign-sourced earnings within this year
Not so, [remitted] Income earned from Jan 1, 2025 will be tax exempt if remitted within two years of earning will be tax exempt. 2024 income will be unaffected. And as a said we don't know how long the new rule will last. Some people here are dreaming they'll get a refund of tax paid this year but this will never happen. The rule might be "retroactive" in that some of the income earned, in 2025, prior to the date of effect of the amendment will be exempt. But the big winners will be those who have transferred their savings made prior to Jan 1, 2024 and kept their 2024/2025 earnings overseas.

Thai Army: 2,500 Cambodian Troops Killed in Border Clashes
When the Thais give numbers such as 10 to 15. Even 700 is totally unrealistic in ground combat, where neither side has made any progress. Don't say airstrikes, because there have been I tiny number of missions flown...

Help me please to build a sentence correctly
Ohh.. I thought Thai didn't have any syntax. Just bags of words. But that's only from the way the wife makes up her sentences in English.

Well, if that's policy now, it sucks. We should all rethink our banking and possibly rely more on non Thai resources. A hell of a headache though. I have a joint account, FCD, credits card here...

Is it a) a valid ID form your home country? or b) a valid ID form your home country shoving your address in that country? or c) a valid ID form your home country shoving your address in Thailand, or any other country? ?

Bangkok Bank used to be be a great bank, friendly to foreigners, but that's the past. I'll have to see how I can open UBS accounts for my wife.
