For what purpose ? Are you working in Thailand, or is it for something else ?

From the Revenue Dept's. website:  www.rd.go.th  , using Jack Mountain's example:

    Gross Income:                        720,000

   less Deduction (Sec. 2.2)       (60,000)

   less Personal Allow. (2.2)      (30,000)

                                                      630,000

On 630,000:   0 -150,000 x 0% =           0

          150,000 - 300,000x 5% =      7500

          300,000 - 500,000x10%=   20,000

          500,000 - 630,000x 15%=  19,500

     Income Tax Payable:              47,000

The above is assuming no personal deductions beyond the universal ones.  

Your accountant is right. When you began to work, you were likely asked to sign a form estimating your total income for that calendar year (including from any job prior to your current one), and listing any of the common deductions applicable to yourself (such as a dependent spouse or dependent children). Income tax would, or should, have been deducted as per your declaration. You then do an annual version of this form every January, for the calendar year which has just begun.

Your proposal is nonsensical, leaving the vast majority of the tax due to the Revenue Dept. not remitted until the latter part of the calendar year.  In the case of an employee who quit early in the year, the employer would not have deducted enough to pay the income tax owed.

From someone with about 18 years experience working in Thailand, and more than that working in Canada. The two countries' income tax deduction systems are identical in this respect.

Analogous to western New Year; most of the action is on New Yr's Eve, which this yr. is Thu. the 15th; New Year's Day is mostly a "recovery day" from the night before.

I dealt with them twice in 2014 and 2015.

1. Yes.

2. I don't know. I did the whole process in one day.both times.

3. I don't know, but I never left it until the last day. I believe it to be 30 days.

Crossing the border (without having obtained a Re-entry Permit) automatically cancels your visa. If you are leaving Thailand with no plans for an immediate return, crossing the border is all you need to do.  If you are planning to return soon after exiting, provide further details on what your plan or intention is.

If you have any way of enlarging that photo, I, and others, could then read the sign on the side of the building.

The building looks like the new part of the Vajira Hospital on Samsen Road in Bangkok, though it is not set in a green field.  If I am correct,the statue is presumably of King Vajiravuth (Phraram 6), who founded it.

There used to be a box on here where one could call up a member's account by name, and then click on it and send him a message. If it still exists, I can't find it. I am trying to establish contact with a member who has not posted here in several months.

Firstly, this is not  a "missing person" post. I do not know the name of the individual I am trying to contact, and I do not even need to know it.

I spotted a post today on the thailandteaching.info website. The site will not permit me (for technical reasons) to open an account and then reply to his post.

The post is from someone who identifies himself as "Hey_ewe". If this you, or you know who it is, I would appreciate an alternate contact method with you and/or the school concerned. Please reply here. If you wish, I can then provide you an e-mail address and telephone number.

I am not wanting to apply myself, but I know a well-qualified individual who is.

I would also appreciate learning of any local Nakhon Ratchasima forums. The only one I have found so far is in German.

Have you been asked to submit a map showing the location of your house ?  The upper part is for your name, address and phone number. The two choices at the bottom  (of which you presumably will circle the left one) are "house map" and "work map"

You can say you are from the moon if you want to, but as soon as you present your passport....

Have the Thai administration seen his message ? If not, I think you and your two NES colleagues should collectively bring it to their attention.

I once had a similar, if not direct parallel. I and another foreign colleague had a warning from a third foreign colleague that our lives would be in danger if he was to lose his job. (This came after he had put his own job in a very precarious situation with a very ill-tempered outburst in the office that included him throwing things with the intent to injure).

We wrote up a report, sent it to administration, and he was fired within a day or two.

Once, with TMB, I was assigned a new home branch, and new account number, when the branch where I had opened my account closed. I learned of the closure when I took my passbook into another branch for a transaction or update.

Check the local branches of Se-ed, Nai-in (if there is one in Khora)t, and whatever independent bookstores you have in Khorat. There is a large one inside The Mall, I can't recall its name.

Giving us an idea of your location might elicit replies from those with local knowledge. A big factor in selecting a school in Bkk. starts with answering the question "How is she going to get to and from the school every day ?"

I was thereabout 2 years ago, and you are correct. The main street has well-preserved old wooden buildings, many of which are now functioning as gift shops. There is a nice wooden walkway along the river.

We made the mistake of arriving late in the evening and had a hard time finding rooms. The next morning we realized why. The streets were packed with Thai tourists. From the sheer number of them, they had to have come from far away; most from Bangkok I suppose. The cool weather and the mist rising off of the river seemed to be the big attraction.

To summarize, worth a visit if you are not too far away, but I wouldn't travel more than a few hours to see it.

The western part of Loei is more scenic, and has Phu Reua and Phu Kradeung if you like mountains.

In general:  passbook - yes

                     ATM card - no

Walk in and ask. The worst that will happen is that they will say no.

Anyone can deliver a form, which you have signed, to Immigration. Immigration requires either your signature or your presence. They do not accept someone else walking in to tell them where you live.

While my qualifications are less impressive than your wife's, I taught high school in Bangkok for 15 years, ending in 2010. International schools hold hiring fairs in the country to which they are affiliated, and that is where they find almost all of their teachers. Have her go online and see what she can find.

Most schools offer full, or at least substantial, tuition fee waivers for their teacher's children.

I leave the rest of your questions to those with experience in international schools.

I have sent you a Private Mail. Sign in to see it.

Relatively frequent service from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.: Route 268 A/C buses every hour or two, also green non A.C. buses every couple of hours. Spotty service in the early evening on Prachasart Tours (yellow buses; I have forgotten the route number; maybe 871 ?)

The answer is almost certainly yes. Years ago, I got on a bus in Kalasin about 7 a.m. If there are no direct buses to Bangkok, take the 1 hour trip to Khon Kaen, from where you will find frequent service to Bangkok day and night. 

Note: I don't know if buses from Kalasin  now use baw-khaw-saw (bus station) 1 or 3 in Khon Kaen; if it is the former, you will have to use the shuttle bus to Bus Station 3, or use Chan Tours from Bus Station 2, if they are still departing from there. Bus Stations 1 and 2 are within walking distance of each other.

Bus # 40 (large buses only). Or,  you use the small orange ones to the end of their route just east of Hualumphong, then change to # 29.
