Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
Well actually........I am not an accountant & basically a "bob in the village" & it was very easy & profitable to file in my case. Because back in 2012-2016 the savings interest rates in Thailand were good ...especially in 2013 That aside the reason to file was claim back the taxes they took from the savings when ever it went over 30k baht a year. But foreigners could claim it all back as we are not Thai citizens But yes we filed taxes claims/returns in those years very easily. They actually did most of the work themselves at the counter. I guess the getting of the Tax ID# was probably harder than actually filing. But even getting the number was a matter of an hour once sent to the right office. Once interest rates dropped we stopped yearly filing no problem.

Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
I may be wrong but the law that has to do with that March 2025 law was already passed & in effect since Jan 1st 2024 So by right what they are saying is the Tax returns that are due March 2025 should include any taxes owed for inbound taxable monies sent into Thailand between Jan 1st 2024 & Dec 31st 2024

Donald Trump’s $100 Million Lawsuit Against DOJ: A Battle Over Political Persecution
The Joe Biden / Kamala Harris administration has been using DOJ, TSA, FBI & probably every other three letter branch as their personal attack dogs Here is another recent example of Harris using the TSA to go after Tulsi Gabbard after she spoke out on how dangerous a Kamala Harris presidency would be. Matt Taibi's take on this also interesting to hear

Pros and cons of US Social Security pension directly deposited into a Thai Bank account.
Just curious but have you ever tried using Bangkok Bank NY to transfer from your US bank to your Thai bank ( If you have Bangkok Bank account) *** I know it got more difficult for some if their US bank may not provide the International ACH thorough their internet banking*** But was just wondering if it was an option for you

Kamala Harris's VP Choice: Did She Make Her First Major Campaign Mistake?
Who voted for Kamala Harris to be the Democrats Presidential nominee? Nobody that is who...SO who cares if this is her first mistake...She IS the mistake to the Democratic process....No Democrat voted her to be their Presidential Candidate

US Embassy Statement on the Dissolution of Move Forward Party in Thailand
This from a country that just denied all the Democrat voters a choice for the Presidential candidate. Instead they stuck the lame VP in there without anyone actually voting her in. The USA wouldn't know democratic process if it bit them in the butt

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
Does not really seem a good alternative to the Cat O married to Thai visa since that one is only 400k on deposit & no need to leave once a year or get an extension every 6 months

Bank America Card
I am not charged except my monthly $25 to use unlimited talk & text without wifi in the USA & when in Thailand I connect via wifi calling (Apple Iphone) & receive no additional charges. Been doing so for many years now Of course in the USA I am only charged my flat $25 a month to connect using the cell towers. (calls within the USA) But what I am saying is wifi calling while out of the country incurs no additional charges for roaming or international calling which I think is nice because yes while in the USA they DO charge to send international texts / pictures etc which of course I never do. Yet while in Thailand I can call USA send texts, pictures etc etc no charge (using WIFI calling) So I do not think in my/AT&T case it is the same

All the Blood pressure medications
Actually both ACE & ARB meds are also Vasodilators that open your blood vessels which is basically what the drugs you mention do also

Bank America Card
Happy to report my AT&T always works great from Thailand & is free (no additional charges for calling from Thailand using wifi calling) . I also have the cheapest AT&T base plan which is $25 a month unlimited talk & text. Have had it for 8 years now. What is extra nice about it is I also receive calls from the USA while in Thailand for our three months a year stays. It caller ID's them as usual & it appears to them I am still in the US. Only downside if of course some folks call in the middle of the night 😅

Bank America Card

Elon Musk STUNS Jordan Peterson
Actually he created a PAC (Political Action Committee ) Which in essence will be supporting the administration he feels is best for America. Which in this election yes will be Trump's administration. He just doesn't want to be dragged into saying he supports a person .....which is logical because in fact it is not a single person who will keep America well

DTV issued
I know right? That is exactly what I thought too. Especially since the one year clock resets on each entry. I mean yes probably cheaper to pay the 1900 than leave & return but to completely miss the IM visit is worth something The one thing they didn't mention that I was curious about is 90 day reports then? Likely not needed I guess? But would have been nice to hear it from the official

Biden Speech From Oval Office Withdrew from Reelection to Unite Democrats
This is the sad part about our two party system & its cheerleaders It is never about the achievements instead no matter what or who it is about the party. Look at when this nice old man was being paraded about even when it was obvious he was flailing mentally. Instead of folks around him nicely stating the facts the true blue always made excuses Even now he has finally (probably) been forced aside & the same true blue that cheered him while he flailed will now cheer & vote for a totally unqualified person (Kamala Harris ) to become President of the USA Thus is the idiocy of this two party system. As if it were a tag team wrestling match. These cheerleaders (for either side) would rather cut their noses off to spite their faces. Never really truly caring about their country
