  1. It paid more than even Hilton charges for their massively overpriced (but tasty) daily lunches for 2 persons.  OMG. Laughing. 🤪

     

    The monthly food bill would be 50,700 baht at this rate.  Woo hoo!  🤣😂

    And don't go to the one in Passione Mall in Rayong for the salad bar. Worst one I have ever seen in the many different Sizzler's I've been in. 

     

    😬

     

    Details?

        Do you order a steak meal or just the salad ?

    Depends on my company.  I personally prefer the salad bar alone, but with gf we have ordered MANY large, expensive meals there.  She is not keen on the salad bar like me.  🥗

     

    Their menu has changed a lot over the years.  I miss the 3 slider burgers.  🍔🍔🍔

    *LoS: AUD7.50 / THB 159 ( if paying w/- Line membership - takes 1 minute to join up when checking out)

     

     

    Beware if your area supports the 159 discount.  Some areas have 199b every day.  I miss the wonderful 139b weekdays.

        Headline next month 

    Sizzler to close all stores immediately after suffering sudden huge losses after their salads become unprofitable popular .

       Every time I go there , there are groups of Thais all with their steak meals and minimal side salad and there's usually one older felang with six plates of salad in front of him  

    Actually, 3 plates of salad, one plate for cheese bread, one plate for watermelon and choco whips, and at least 4 bowls of soup.  Of course, not all at once.  😆

    Unbeatable buffet value.

     

    Of course, never buy the water.  😁

    Sure. That is what the told me last February, exept only 1 source of income was exempt, Gov Pension, my private pension should ( in theory anyway ) have been taxable.

     

    At the small local office.

     

     

    Well, that is what we all ( including me ) believed. Rocks up today ( Only Gov Pension ) and was told otherwise, at the big Office.

     

    Here is her pencilled scribbles to help me fill it

    You will notice that she has applied 

     

    100,000 Baht deduction for a Pension

     

    60,000 Baht deduction for me

     

    And some mental withholding tax thing, which by that stage I had lost all interest, so it could be anything.

     

    Total tax payable 0

     

    That makes no sense.  252k+, what created the 480x43.90?  Did you somehow pay in 252k in withholdings?

    Yes. And per the DTA, Thailand has primary taxation authority to tax these remittances. UNLESS this new TRD rule is used as an exception:

     

    So, what's in your IRA? Pre 2024 income; thus not assessable by TRD decree. Yes, tax deferred, in the case of Traditionl IRAs -- or after tax income, in the case of a Roth (or tx exempt, for subsequent earnings). But, in both cases, the assets in your IRA began as pre 2024 income -- what they look like on 12/31/2023 is irrelevant, i.e., cash, stocks, whatever. So, it looks clear -- at least to me -- that the TRD decree means your IRA distributions, albeit labelled self directed pensions, are not taxable -- except for income accumulated post 2023 -- and recent info says you can use FIFO, thus these earnings would represent the last element of any monies remitted.

     

     

    Can you elaborate on the "recent info" that says we can use FIFO?  (not about IRA, but cash)

     

    Say fictional Steve's 12/31/23 non-assessable cash (assume all of it) is traded in 2024 for capital gains (no losses) and savings interest, and considering FIFO (the broker uses this with capital gains right now) would declare the new income is "last on the list" of what gets remitted, is it wrong to think "no need to file" or pay taxes until the original capital is exhausted in remittance?  Assume just one lone remittance per year, in January or February and nothing else remitted during the year.

     

    Say Steve was told in a "free 15 minute" call that nope, all those 2023 funds would then "become assessable" (is that even possible?) since all that cash was used in 2024 to make money with capital gains trading and savings interest.

     

    Not sure who is correct.

    Thailand will not impose taxes on foreign remittances for foreigners because doing so would inadvertently grant foreigners tax rights that the government wants to avoid.

    By taxing remittances, the Thai government could create a precedent that allows people to claim certain privileges, such as the ability to purchase property and access public services. This could lead to concerns about foreign ownership and influence within the local economy.

     

     

    So is this tax voluntary, or mandatory as of this date?  (I am not asking about if I am a resident, 120k, 150k+, etc)

     

    Your statement suggests they "cannot" (or are you suggesting only your opinion here?) tax our remittances legally as of this date?

    Your assessment is factually and legally incorrrect.  He was found guilty by a jury of his peers, not any person or group he told his followers to hate.

    Hi Jeffers, I just happen to be meeting someone in KFC tomorrow. Lousy food but easy to find in Phitsanulok. To prove your theory, I shall order two portions, one original and one spicy. Then my photos will prove whether you are right or wrong.

    Eh, good idea?

    Hey, so where are these photos??  Get us interested then fail to follow through, eh?  😆

    Post 'em!

    Too many words. Your post should have been:

    “For the life of me, I can't figure out WHY anyone would use Windows“

    No, W11 really does suuhhk.  W7 and to a lesser extent, W10 are OK, but W10 in its first prepatched incarnations was horrid.  W11 is crashy, freezy, not fun to use, not helpful, not quicker, not more useful... literally no value that I can find.
