  1. RE: "a retiree aged 65 years of age, married and living here full time, supporting a Thai wife who has no income and doesn’t file tax return, is allowed the following: a. Personal Allowance for self - 60,000 b. Personal Allowance for wife - 60,000 c. Over age 65 years exemption - 190,000 d. 50% of pension income received, up to 100k - 100,000 e. In addition, the first 150,000 of assessable income is zero rated and free of tax" ----- So if a USA national sends 209,965 baht wire transfer, this precludes the need to get a TIN and file any PIT? Assume rate 35b per USD. The assumption being, 150k no tax, 60k personal exemption = 210k baht Under 65, unmarried, no children, no pension, no insurance etc. Assuming these facts, is 210k the correct total deduction before tax consideration, or am I missing another available deduction? My research says it is 210k. Also curious about the "gift" avenue. If the gift amount is to an unrelated local person, let's say under 100k baht for the year, is this still considered income that must be included to the 209,965b?
  2. You have to re-register? Are you certain? Re-register with a new website, that makes sense. But having to re-register after leaving the country? That is AWFULLY advanced. Can this "technology" also help 2 databases be able to talk to each other? EDIT: Oh, I get it. The person across from you has simply made that determination and won't accept your old one.
  3. Same with all other groups previously excluded for small thinking. When you see them on TV, your brain says WOW!, they exist?
  4. Lost in Space, My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, That Girl, Star Trek... all rerun gold!
  5. They must have copied the 1. ID page, 2. your VISA and 3. your last entry stamp. Fortunately, still no issues or complaints online for the 90 Day Report and the TM30 submissions. The online 90 Day Report is so far the best thing in recent memory from Immigration.
  6. https://aseannow.com/profile/332242-redwood1/ Clarifications required, Jomtien/Pattaya office 1. Are you saying you had to also submit a TM47 or TM30 as your "address on a 90 day report? 2. 3 copies of ID page only of passport, or "3 copies of passport"? (i.e. every used page)
  7. I remember Kloster. They were the Heineken here in the early 1990's.
  8. If you earn 10kb more per month than you spend, and your savings never takes a hit, then you sound fine. You might live 9 years longer before she gets her hands on your loot to spend any way, or as quickly, as she wants. I agree with the suggestion of living a little for yourself now while you can.
  9. Try going into Google (not Maps) and change region to UK (for you) instead of Current. I ran into this before on Chrome when it displayed the year unlike that used in English countries. google.com/preferences, Other setttings>Language and Region to UK from Current.
  10. If not an SMS, then what are they?
  11. Try headdaddy.com. Check out the 5TB external HDD if you get tired of the tiny and pricier SSD's.
  12. 1.89 to 2 liters of water per day is about 8 glasses, recommended per day for males. With 4 liters you will be urinating a lot.
  13. It has officially changed now, and it auto-redirects for you: https://www.thailandprivilege.co.th Watch out for frauds like this one, though: https://www.thailandelite.com/online/?action=login Simply fail the login information or click Register to see the full page, then click the same Member Contact Center link in the lower-left and you will see it is a bogus website: https://elite-web-dev.golfdigg.com/contactus. Other links on the lower section of the page go to 10.4.5.90 instead of the genuine ones.
  14. One hot night makes a fine life not. Do you know why you married her then? This description sounds like a real human turn-off.
  15. Red Phoenix. I did it myself on the Section38 app, though my landlord is helpful and I also print and hand carry the documents she provided me, i.e. owner and manager ID info, etc. Immigration keeps giving them back to me though they are all copies! ????
