How can you be at retirement age and not having 800k in a bank? What were people like you doing all their life? I don't get this.

They do not need copies of pages of your passport. They have an IT system that shows when you entered and when you left.

In my experience I have had to prove copies of passport and on the copies mark eventually departure/entry and in addition attached a short but polite note where I write my name and TIN number and the departure/entry's periods and sum up total days in Thailand for the actual tax year.

Anyone had this surgery ?

 

I have had a right knee pain since starting boxing , I think it was the jumping skipping rope and squats etc 

It seems in the right leg in the right side of the knee inside if that makes sense 

I told another guy he said a Anthroscopy can fix it 

 

It doesn't appear to be broken just a little paper n when I stand up ,I can't do body squats anymore 

 

 this Anthroscopy?

You don't think there's a chance that people with retirement visas will be asked to provide a copy of their tax return upon renewal? Note that bank passbooks are requested at visa renewal, so checking for incoming cash is easy.

I personally don't think so, because then Immigration should accept the Tax payment Certificate and Certificate of Residence from the tax authority as proof of income for extensions. Which have been tried but with a big no from Immigration.

It seems that Thailand is on a never ending crusades of ideas as how to bring as many as possible more tourists to this country,

as if no other industry or export is important anymore other than the tourism industry to keep the revenue rolling in,

so in other words, without tourism this country will be in deep trouble and that mostly the tourists that keeps the country afloat...

That come clear under Covid with ques of begging citizens all over the country and the income from tourism is way higher than we are let to believe.

Should they ask for a certificate confirming good mental health before boarding the plane

Yes

Considering this Alcohol (who.int) and this Years Of Life Lost Due To Alcohol Consumption In Thai Adults - Movendi International it seems the "tourism revolution" in Thailand is on the right track

Well, somewhere, they (their money) must be welcome.

Well, I'm afraid they are serious. But whether you call it a joke, a job opportunity for locals, total madness or simply a way to smooth out greed and bad alcohol policy, you have to ask yourself what is going on in the top floor of those in power who for years use large resources to allow people spending their hard earned income on drinking longer towards the morning, and at the same time open alcohol sobering up centers which, if they are to function, probably take even more resources. Its IMO a bit like voluntary pay and want to be sick, and then fixed up in a hospital.

The Dirty Secrets Of ‘Clean’ Electric Vehicles (forbes.com)

I have done as Yumthai says for more than 15 years and got the deductions to which I am entitled. I think its important to remember that tax filing in Thailand follows Thailand's internal tax rules so by that if it's a foreign pension remitted to Thailand doesn't really matter.

Here there was not much pity and find . In my opinion, a patient in that hospital should be paid and then a free flight home.

One2Car they goes for 200 thousand baht 9 years old.2.0 with vvti engine 

Due to be on the outlook for a very well-maintained used car with guaranteed low mileage, a Camry might be interesting but where do you find that price? I have checked both one2car and Taladrod but if the car is 9 years old it must be a 2014-15 model and the cheapest, I can find for that year is 389 thousand and with higher milage!

You know in other tourist destinations, such as Zanzibar, Bali, Mallorca, Marbella, etc etc you don't have this constant noise of 'crime', 'arrest' etc and 'scheme'.

 

Almost makes Thailand/Phuket a unpleasant place going by the constant knocking off it from within its own Government/Authorities. 

Exactly, if I sit abroad and plan to go to Phuket with a family and read this report I would think twice.

What a scam!

 

Outside Korat, walk-in service, no appointment, no witnesses.

30 minutes processing.

20 baht paid for two certificates.

25 years ago in Phuket also 20thb and the processing went nearly to fast

Why does it seem its always Phuket that scams happen.?

 

Out of personal interest, I read a lot of history about Phuket in my first years here and to put it nicely where we come from, traditions, culture and genes do not disappear overnight even if the livelihood today is somewhat changed from our ancestors.
