  1. Sorry I haven't followed the whole thread, who is EPT... I am guessing its not Expat Thai Tax ??
  2. Thanks.. I hadnt got to the end of the thread.
  3. Currently saving an annual bank statement output each year but would be good to know a set rule.
  4. Unfortunately the BOI are not giving even the most basic of clarity. When I ask the simple question of do I need to file, based on LTR being exempt they say I have to ask my local tax office, problem is local tax office has said both yes and no depending on the day of asking, when I re-emailed the BOI that the local office didnt inspire confidence or providde clarity they didnt reply. Kind of a breakdown of comms on this.
  5. Was chatting with a (experienced not dumb, green, or bar stool) expat recently and the topic of usufructs and other use rights came up. He claimed that one advantage of a superficies over a usufruct is that it can be registered, in perpetuity (lifetime) to a non Thai corporation.. I expressed disbelief, especially at the lifetime version (I could imagine it perhaps for a max 30 year) but he claimed he actually had one registered, so short of calling him a lair that was the end of that. I find this very hard to believe, it would result in being able to give superficies rights to an LLC, which could be inherited, passed on with the corp, wrapped into a trust, etc etc. This would have infinite duration, could own the buildings on the land, it would be protected from marital assets in a split, etc etc. The fact it seems near perfect makes me convinced it cannot be correct. I have asked 2 lawyers, the first who did not impress me or seem to know much about usufructs superficies etc said that no company can hold one, Thai or otherwise. I am sure this is wrong and that a Thai company can hold superficies so his advice was not counted very highly. The second lawyer said there was no actual law why not, superficies were specifically written with companies in mind, however many land offices 'might not want to register that' which I would accept as being more close to the truth. Has anyone ever tried this ? What was the outcome and where ?
  6. What orders exactly ?? When has the civilian government ever had control of the military in Thailand ??
  7. Good review, and I am seeking that quality, but as said I have a terraced hillside and moving a near 50 kilo 1.6 meter mower up and down 50cm terraces seems not ideal. Looking for that kind of quality, in a smaller honda package.. Not a honda engine in a chinesium frame if possible. Do honda not produce anything smaller here ??
  8. Sorry yes its was 47 kilos.. I need a mower style mower as around the pool they fling in cuttings when using a brush cutter.. ongoing issue.. I need a less than 47 kilo one as the property is on a slope and has terrace levels that the mower needs to be moved between.. Lifting up 50cm per terrace doesnt seem practical with a 50 kilo 1.6meter long mower. After many frustrating issues with a briggs and statton (not with the mower, with people servicing it badly and not getting proper parts) I want a honda or other VERY well supported mower. Unsure what the long term support for hyundai is like.. High quality yes, but the 216 is too large. The other 'honda' mowers I see cheaper look like honda engines slapped on chinesium chassis.
  9. Would be very notable if you could obtain a copy of that letter, of course with thier personal information blocked out.
  10. Time for a new mower, 95% it will be a petrol honda but will entertain others just had terrible experiences with local shops bodging and ruining a perfectly good brigs and statton because they wont simply order its parts from bangkok. I was all set to splash out on the Honda HRJ216 as the top quality on the market for non ride on, but just before clicking buy I realise its near 60 kilos and huge, thats total overkills for the half rai of terraced gardens and be too large for the size of the people who will use it. I seek something that kind of peak quality, but in a smaller / mid size package. Price is not irrelevant but far secondary to best quality and local parts supply.

  12. I think the gist of this is that it makes a crypto to thb gateway, maybe allowing funding to a QR Promtpay app so the merchant just gets THB and the user spends crypto..
  13. "Holding the highest cryptocurrency ownership in Asia, Thailand ranks fifth globally." Huh Speak for yourself.
  14. Anyone reccomend a good brand of these locally available ?? Just trying to check hardness and alkanility etc but the test kit I have appears totally useless ?? Top 2 are exposed / wet (tried a second one in case the first was a special dud) bottom is 100% dry.. Not exactly learning much from that !!
