-Khaosan Rd. - probably no alcohol served; otherwise normal.
-Public events - nothing that I know of; temples are busier than usual, with Thai devotees there to pray or meditate
-Grand Palace - likely closed, but that is a guess on my part. This is a two-day Buddhist holiday for the government sector, so presumably is considered one of the most important holidays in the year. The private sector only get the first day of the two as a holiday.

What could possibly go right ?(It would be a shorter list.)

My deadline is now approaching.

The situation outlined by the OP happened to me. My passport was in a pile with those of about 20 others at my workplace. Neither I, the Personnel Officer, or anyone at Immigration noticed that mine only had about 6 month's validity remaining. It was rubber-stamped with the same 1 year visa as the others.
It only came to light several months later when I re-entered Thailand after a trip abroad. The Immigration Officer at the airport wrote out an order telling me to go the Immigration Office within 7 days to get my Extension of Stay validity shortened to conform with my passport validity. This occurred in approximately 1999. After I got my new passport, they gave me the remaining portion of my 1 year in the new passport.

People's consciences are irrelevant where conscience conflicts with law. Otherwise, you get people saying "My conscience requires me to rob the bank from time to time."

1. I seem to recall seeing on here that they are no longer accepting 90 day reports online. Correct ?
2. If I am correct on that, do they accept them by mail ? If yes, please give the approximate date of your last report by mail.

The four posts above by 1SteveC are all correct, and contain constructive comments. That is more than I can say for most of the others. I taught school in Thailand for fourteen years at four different jobs in two provinces.

Depositing additional money, at any time, does not reset the maturity date(s) on any funds that are already in the account. Rather, you then have two, or more, maturity dates, one for the original deposit, and one for each additional deposit.
-
If you deposit money "part way through a 3 month period", you can consider that deposit as Day 0 of a new 3 month period.

Income tax for 2559 (2016) was due Mach 31,2017. Income tax for 2560 (2017) is not due until March 31, 2018. The date on the forms is the taxation year, not the filing year. The website referred to is current.

The last time I booked with Cebu Pacific online, they asked me if I wanted a seat. A rather ridiculous question, since I don't think that I would have been permitted to stand, even if I had wanted to. I think that when I ticked the"yes" box, I was given a premium, exit-aisle seat, which I had to unclick if I didn't want to pay extra. And, they too automatically sold you a meal if you did not unclick that box.

While I have no personal knowledge, there have been reports in this sub-forum that they don't work abroad, as they have a 6 digit PIN. They also don't work at some ATM's in Thailand for the same reason.

Many newcomers get their first month's rent notice and discover that they are paying more for electricity than for rent. Govt. power is about B 4 per unit. Any price more than about 6 is expensive. Use the air- con sparingly until you get your first bill. If you never shut it off, it could account for 90% of your electricity bills. Avoid "serviced apartments". In return for some hotel-like services, and (usually) some staff with some English, you will be paying prices that are as close to hotel prices as they are to apartment prices.

You don't give your age, or say what, if anything, you have in the way of a pension plan, or other savings, other than your house. May I presume that your house in Oz is worth more than whatever house you would buy in Thailand ? Maybe invest the difference in some safe asset in Oz., and bring whatever income that generates to Thailand.

I have no recent knowledge re Bangkok, but for at least two years Surin Labour Dept.(not Immigration) has been requiring a blood test for syphillis, and a chest x-ray for TB.

Do a Google search, then click on whatever look to be the most promising results. While I haven't used their website in some time (apart from a brief search in reference to your OP), the Thai Revenue Dept. offers comprehensive information in English.
In a nutshell: "Resident" means any person residing in Thailand.....more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A Resident is liable to pay tax on income from sources within Thailand, as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A Non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand".
Thailand has "avoidance of double taxation" treaties with many countries. Do a Google search with regard to The Netherlands.

To the best of my recollection, there is no form. If I am wrong, or if something has changed since I last did it, they will hand you the form when you get there.

I have never known of anyone in your exact situation, so this is something of an educated guess:
-normally, when Immigration is closed for a holiday, you can go in on the first day (and only on the first day) that they re-open, and not have to pay a fine etc.
-there is a "But" in your case, and I think it is a big "but". There is no requirement that you report to your local Immigration office before leaving Thailand; rather, you are stamped out as you depart at the airport or border. If you want(ed) to visit the Immigration office (and avoid an otherwise required trip out of the country), you should not have left it until the last day.
In my view, you will be on overstay if you don't leave today. Will your employer be willing to keep you on the payroll until Monday ?

I just googled "list of Thailand tax treaties with Canada". I found "Dept. of Finance Canada, Convention Between Canada and Kingdom of Thailand for Avoidance of Double Taxation" Pensions are taxable in the country of payment only; ref. Chapter 3, Article 18.

Can you comment on Lopburi3's assertion that this type of payment is taxable in Thailand ?
Does Grand Palace opens around Khao Phansa Holiday?
in Thailand Travel Forum
Posted · Edited by allane
Also a guess: the Grand Palace is probably open on the 8th and 9th (Sat. & Sun.), and closed on the 10th and 11th (Mon. and Tues.) I don't think it will be closed for four days.
For whatever it may be worth: the website of BKK Tours says "open 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon on the 8th and 9th"; no mention of any closures on the 1oth or 11th. You should go in the morning anyway; in my opinion it is too hot after about 10:00 a.m.
