  1. Perhaps you would like an audited statement of his account? Why? Are you looking for people to rob? That's the first 'vibe' I get when someone asks a question like this.
  2. Yeah, that didn'thappen did it. I went to stock up on Cognac a few weeks back and the whole alcohol section at Gourmet Market was closed off during the prohibition hours. Not planning on drinking any of the stuff for days as I already had some left I couldn't help but feel the rule is somehwat returded.
  3. In fact having read up on this a little more it does look like it was never an actual 'law' to begin with - just an interpretation / ruling by the RD at the time. In other words - this 'following year' thing which can be referred to as 'Resolution 2/2528' because that's what made it the rule back in 1985 is just a memo like the one they recently issued reverting it.
  4. It is not easy to find information about this and why it came into being. I have been looking myself.
  5. Correct, it's going to be interesting once the lawyers do get hold of this though. However I feel that won't happen until well inside 2025.
  6. Not really, the law still stands. The law if I remember correctly is very specific about this subject, it's not some little oversight or loophole, it was addressed directly. Zero taxation from prior years. Signed. Sealed. Delivered. To change a law requires a vote in parliament and there hasn't been a vote, not yet anyway.
  7. Yes, the only problem with that is that it seems to override a law which was voted on in parliament - and you can't do that with a memo.
  8. I don't know anyone like that but you're right, there's definitely a lot of knuckle-draggers out there.
  9. I wonder how many people who took lemsips also eventually died of it?
  10. I went out for beers on New Years eve and developed a 'cold' on Jan 3, it's still going now but not too bad. It is however nothing like the one I had back in July which was considerably worse.
  11. I thought it was a list of contacts from his literal phone book, lists of people who's phone numbers he wrote down - so anyone he ever phoned could be on there. If it's the same list that was leaked last year then it's going to be pretty meaningless.
  12. That's not much tax for a while year, this is pennies to a central government.
  13. Normally the police simply enforce the laws which are made by the politicians or 'lawmakers' Because it's the job of elected officials to change laws, not appointed civil servant bureaucrats.
  14. I doubt it - how do you think the Chinese would feel about that unless they get 90 days as well? They're not going to accept it and when that happens they pull the plug.
  15. Low level workers rarely have access to all the information on file about you.
  16. Yes. The rest is irrelevant, they were guilty of exceeding the exact description of what was on their work permit. The undercover aspect of people lying in wait posing as customers and waiting to pounce when a chef does something not 100% chef related, and instigating it - they were immigration police posing as customers in one place. They didn't arrest anyone - it was only about money.
  17. Good point - my wire arrived today, just under 250k Baht, I sent it last year and it arrived on the first banking day of the year, today.
  18. I wouldn't sell this news when/if it comes. It fundamentally changes the entire market. I do expect potential 'turbulence' on the day
  19. I too would buy another Toyota.
  20. A good point, none of us are tax resident here for this year until about the beginning of July.
  21. lol, I sent a wire on Thursday 28th December, 2023 and it hasn't arrived yet. I'll bet the slackers at my bank in the UK were mostly on holiday between Christmas and New Year and didn't process it. I sent quite a bit more than normal, about 250k Baht and sometimes they send it to their compliance department for whatever reason even though the amounts are relatively low - and I'll bet that's the big office with just one or two staff in there between Christmas and New Year. Maybe I get it Jan 2.
  22. There's plenty of room for hearsay and anecdotes, after all we should remember - this is a discussion forum, not a legal review.
