  1. From tropical paradise yes it was 30+ years ago and I am grateful for over several years and having had the experience of living here. Today and sad to say it, but I don't understand what kind of interests a tourist can have who comes here. Felt
  2. 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 Felt
  3. Well, somewhere, they (their money) must be welcome. Felt
  4. Felt 35

    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. Felt
  5. There hasn't been anywhere near any democracy in Thailand since Chuan Leekpai was Prime Minister in the 90s and it was sparse even then. Abhisit is doing the right thing and withdrawing as a candidate and it has nothing to do with qualifications to do, but more to do with that he does not want to be in a democratic party as there is a big possibility, they will take sides with Pheu Thai.

  6. Can it get higher?  Felt
  7. Isn't this report just that, a advertisement. Felt

  9. 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. Felt
  10. 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. Felt
  11. Exactly, if I sit abroad and plan to go to Phuket with a family and read this report I would think twice. Felt
  12. 25 years ago in Phuket also 20thb and the processing went nearly to fast
  13. 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. Felt
  14. Thank you for replying, did you get it done here and did it help? Felt
  15. Does anyone know if PRP treatment is available at any of the Phuket hospitals? Platelet-rich plasma - Wikipedia Thanks Felt
  16. Failed was a very harsh word to use IMO. I'm no financial tax advisor and it wasn't a advice to anyone just the fact that a DTA between two countries can not automatically just be changed over the night to fit new ideas in one state. Anyway, I don't have any prerequisites to know the rules in Germany vs a tax agreement with Thailand, but it reminds me a bit of how it was at home until about 2008-9. i.e., to pay tax for individual people with, for example, a pension was a bit of a goodwill issue here in Thailand. When you mention tax on capital income, bank interest, and fund placement, I mean previously to have seen it mentioned in this thread that it was only in case of a possible transfer to Thailand, but I now see that it is a question of capital income regardless of whether it is transferred or not and then I myself will be affected, even if the interest I earn in a year is a pittance in the grand scheme of things.

  17. Nothing else than experience of following one DTA the last 15 years which stipulate that I shall pay tax on what's actually transferred to Thailand and what not is transferred are taxed in home country where I have to prov with English language Thai tax payment certificate and Thai certificate of residence annually. That DTA will not be changed 1. January 2024 so I will still pay tax on anything transferred to Thailand, either its pension income or savings. My bank home has my TIN and so have naturally home country's tax department. I prov my transfer to Thailand with an annually statement from my bank here and because the info they already have at my home country's tax department it's a "see through" for them if I have transferred anything to a second Thai Bank. I understand that many countries have different DTA`s so I absolutely understand many people's confusion and frustration and I think but can absolutely be wrong that many DTA`s need renegotiations or most likely an additional tax clause for they based in Thailand and that can be negotiated between the relevant country and Thailand quite quickly. Felt
  18. What do they say "talk it up" Felt
  19. If Thailand has a tax agreement with another country, they must follow the agreement and cannot for their own benefit change it until a possible new agreement is in place and it takes a long time to renegotiate tax agreements. Felt
  20. After reading trough this report there is no wonder Thailand are considered a flawed democracy and that as best. Felt
