Expat Tax Twists in Thailand: Navigating the New Landscape in 2024
sirineou replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All new policies have unintended consequences. IMO the expat remittances taxation will in the short run have a negative affect in increasing revenue from those sources. It is possible that once implemented it would turn out to be a non issue for most expats as they will fall below the taxation threshold when all available excisions are considered and we will all continue our financial situation as we always had, But right now we have reduced the amount we transfer each month to that of my SSI pension only and supplement it with savings we have here. When we go to the states this spring we plant to fly back with the maximum amount allowed without reporting. Hopefully by next year we will all know exactly where we stand. -

If they are found negligent and liable. the award can be a lot more,way more than $50k The way it is calculated . aside from pain and suffering, the life long earning potential of this young lady is considered in the award to the husband. Having said that, no amount of money can make this right . How tragic!! My heart goes out to her husband, her family and friends. -

home automation Thread Matter range 10cm AAC block walls
sirineou replied to gamb00ler's topic in IT and Computers
No external , internal are single 7.5 worst case if you have issues you use some repeaters. As I said , Double 7.5 on external walls, concrete floor between upstairs and downstairs and I have no issue. Ofthe I walk around downstairs making a WiFi video FB call and have walked outside in the street to show things to family back home with no loss of signal. My internet provider is 3bb. I don't know about all these technical terms, I simply hooked everything up, pair them with my wifi and was good to go. -
home automation Thread Matter range 10cm AAC block walls
sirineou replied to gamb00ler's topic in IT and Computers
Not sure what the size off the AAC has to do with anything .I have a cavity wall with double 7.5cm AAC block , A single WiFi router upstairs covers both the upstairs , downstairs and most of the outside to the gate. In fact my wife's sister uses our internet in her house next door. My Sonoff smart switches fit the standard boxes and I have smart plugs in my koi pond to operate filters , water fountain echo dots upstairs and downstairs etc. You can also get smart plugs that plug right into your existing outlets. All Alexa and voice command enabled. I brought many of my stuff from the US, but you can get everything you need at Lazada or Shopee. -
The economy is roaring. Immigration is a key reason.
sirineou replied to placeholder's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Probably one of the most urgent problems in the world is low fertility "Global fertility has collapsed, with profound economic consequences " https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/06/01/global-fertility-has-collapsed-with-profound-economic-consequences Simply said is that most of the worlds advanced economies have a fertility rate much lower than the replacement rate nessacery to maintain their current population , never mind grow it, and it is declining at an alarming rate "Italy's declining population fuels long-term economic uncertainty " https://www.euronews.com/2022/11/16/italys-declining-population-fuels-long-term-economic-uncertainty The US has an couple advantages on that front. It is a desirable legal immigration destination. It has a world class University system that creates a brain drain on other countries. And anyone born in the US is automatically a US citizen, So Illegal immigrants who have a higher birth rate that US citizens, not only provide cheap labor for menial jobs, they provide new young. motivated american citizens that not only stabilizes the population, but also lowerers the median age of the US to 38 .1, as opposed to the 44.4 of the EU. and 49.1 in Japan. And then you have trump and the Magamorons who want to kill the Golden Goose What a bunch of buffoons!! -
An example of the faulty logic of trump supporters. So they say everyone in the world is laughing at Biden, I reply by posting a video of world leaders,( Trudeau, Johnson, Macron and others), caught on live mike laughing at trump. So far so good. The reply from the trumpsters is: " Guardian source showing a lefty on the right who everyone laughs at." What? . clearly event to a cognitively challenged trumpster it is a video of world leaders laughing at trump. It is a now famous video. So not wanting to prolong this, I reply. "OK. whatever helps you sleep at night" The witty comeback is: "Trudeau is polling very bad. Go have a look. Might keep you awake. " Now I am a bit confused . Why is he talking about trudeau's polling and what does that have to do with world leaders laughing at trump So politely I ask : "Why would Trudeau's poling keep me awake? " To which some one . do you want to guess who? responds with a confused emoji. And that my friends is the level of discourse one gets from trump supporters.

I made the joke because , in my youth (100 years ago) if one wanted to buy weed one would go to the school yard by the handball courts. To show you how long ago it was, that you could buy nikel and dime bags ($5and $10) and you actually got a bunch of joints out of a nickel bag. Anyway. We are in Khon Kaen and have no idea where one would get some but I will ask around.

I don't know where you got the idea that I said kids don't have money? I said "I don't see how a young person could possibly afford it. " I have money , but I cant afford a ferrari . you see the difference? I remember reading someplace that a Taylor Swift concert ticket cost $500-7,000 I am very happy that your kids are doing so well, but IMO the worst ticket in the venue costing $500 is not very affordable for most kids.

Yea I don't really like the smell of it, and being that as I aged I became a bit of a control freak I did not like the way it made me feel , I don't know how to describe it. Sort of like insecure, like if something happened I would not be able to deal with it. I am glad it was legalised in Thailand, with all the things wrong in this world , putting people in jail and ruining lives for a bit of weed is IMO a crime. I am interested in those gummies where, or how can I get some, And no, I am not meeting some guy in the school yard

Swedish Man Arrested for Exchanging Counterfeit Money in Patong
sirineou replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I have to agree. If he is a counterfeiter he is certainly a very stupid one. If I was trying to pass counterfeit bill I certainly not go to a place where they have special machines to check bills. -
I agree. What the charge for concerts is highway robbery now days. In my youth, back in the states we used to go to concerts all the time at venues headlined by major bands. Same with baseball and football games. Now days with the astronomical prices the charge, I don't see how a young person could possibly afford it.

I am a Youtube junkie also . I have been told that it is not a good idea looking a screens because the glare disrupts your sleep patterns , but I also watch a little bit before I go to sleep but I don't have any problem falling asleep. just have a problem getting a full 8 hours. I also wake up and read for about an hour before I go back to sleep , I use a paperwhite Kindle that does not have much glare for that reason.

Hmm , unfortunately it is in capsule form and can't be cut in half . I have to look into this and if correct throw them out.
