Currently saving an annual bank statement output each year but would be good to know a set rule.

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
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.

Superficies.. This cannot be true ??
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 ?

Best honda lawn mower on the market (medium size)
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 ??

Best honda lawn mower on the market (medium size)
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.

Best petrol lawn mower on the market.
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.

Thailand's Digital Baht Plan Targets Big-Spending Tourists
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..

Thailand's Digital Baht Plan Targets Big-Spending Tourists
"Holding the highest cryptocurrency ownership in Asia, Thailand ranks fifth globally." Huh Speak for yourself.

Pool test strips ? Inkbird Plus useless ??
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 !!

Pajero Sport tires without rubbing / clipping
Can anyone confirm the largest tires sizes on the stock 18 inch rims that dont rub at all ?? Or cause any issues. Long Version. Trying to help my old man out who has just bought one in the UK, comes with stock 265-60-18s (775mm dia) which look VERY under tired in the arches. I quick scan online says 275-65-18 is fine (815mm dia) and even one post of 265-70-18 (828mm dia) claiming no clipping but the pics he posted look awful close. This is for my old man who wants a bit more tire but REALLY doesnt want to put up with rubbing or clipping. Speedo drift is ok but obviously dont want any ecu / computer error issues, I doubt it at the kind of change I am talking but modern cars not sure ?? Blackcircles has better choice in the 275-65's.. Geolander and cooper AT3's top of the list.

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
I have been having this debate with denialists on FB over and over.. The 'I calculated my exemptions and believe I have no liability' crowd are very strong. The Oz super guys are the heaviest in denial.. Pointing over and over to the 'soley' in the DTA without understanding (or rtaher refusing to) that if Oz chooses not to tax, that is then untaxed income.

Pump for a 10x5 overflow ?
Currently have a very budget 8 x 4 fiber pool that was pumped by a .75hp chinese LX pump which I always felt was low flow but wasnt sure if it was just old / weak or not enough power spec. Pump has died and I cant get an impeller anywhere (even tho there are companies selling the pumps.. No parts !! and no reply from china HQ after many attempts.. Usual bad budget choice) so new pump time. Currently powering it with the spa pump which is noisy and higher hp. Next year the whole lot is being pulled out and I hope to fit in a +- 10x5 overflow concrete pool and redo to a salt system and a few nicer features. None of it is properly specced out yet but assume a 1.5 deep end and a 1m shallow end, steps and features I am guessing 60 - 70 cube volume ?? Makes sense to buy a pump now that will easily operate that kind of volume and healthy overflow. What hp / flow rate should I consider ? Price is secondary (but not irrelevant) to lifespan, parts availability, efficiency.. So basically suggestions on a 'decent' brand without looking for the greatest. Theres stuff on lazada for 5k but I assume it will be chinesium junk.. Emaux seem well supported ?? Any advice or things I am unaware of ??

DTV issued
Possibly.. But that clearly shows you the law exists doesnt it ?? You cannot be charged for a crime that is not a crime.
-
DTV issued
Only on a DTV (and possibly LTR tho it isnt clearly exempted in the Royal gazette publications for the LTR) it is not 'generally' legal. Also what is nonsense.. These cases have been very public knowledge to anyone who looks.

DTV issued
So how about the teacher working online ?? Not paid in Thailand no Thai clients. Arrested, processed through the IDC and deported.
-
DTV issued
Your not reading him.. The OP falls under the work from Thailand professional category and can't get a digital work permit for that category. You can not obtain a work permit on the work from Thailand professional category, for your non Thai work. There has to be a Thai employer to obtain a work permit. Which means someone who is on the wealthy pensioner who wishes to work in Thailand, can apply for a work permit for that work which they do for a Thai entity but not for work done for a non Thai entity.

Thai Tax on UK pensions
I was not aware of that rule.. However I hope the edit should make it clear why the statement works.. There is a conditional in the statement which you seem to seek to avoid.
