That is a fairly cowardly way of operating.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:34:34 +0000In regards to my past posts, this is my understanding: For a Thai tax resident, bank interest income (classified under Chapter 3, Section 40(4)(a) of the Revenue Code), from which the Thailand bank has applied the 15% withholding tax (under Section 50 of the Revenue Code), offers an option. Chapter 3, Section 48(3) of the Thailand Revenue Code explicitly states that for assessable income under Section 40(4)(a) (interest income) where tax has been withheld by the Thai bank, the taxpayer may elect to pay tax at the rate of 15.0 percent of that interest income, without including it in the annual assessable income computation under Section 48(1) or (2) of the Thai Revenue Code. This election means the 15% withheld tax fully discharges further Thailand tax liability for that specific interest income. Consequently, that interest income is not included in the annual assessable income computation under Section 48(1) or (2). Accordingly, it is generally understood that such separately taxed interest income is not taken into account when determining whether an individual has sufficient assessable income to trigger a personal income tax filing obligation. Therefore, if this bank interest is a Thailand resident's only Thai-sourced income, it is generally accepted that no personal income tax return is required based on that income only, as the tax liability on that income has already been settled through withholding at source.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:30:10 +0000Then we have this article. https://www.mideastjournal.org/post/here-s-why-arab-countries-won-t-take-refugees-from-gazaFri, 05 Jun 2026 15:29:24 +0000the bin method works best if black or with a black bin liner...

Business owners give praise. Karen Bass is nowhere to be found.

It is doubtful more than a tiny fraction of those termed Palestinians today are "indigenous to the land ancestrally." The Arabs of Palestine are and were generic Levantine Arabs. In terms of language, culture and religion, they were no different in any important sense from the Arabs of Syria. Lebanon, Iraq or Jordan. Just like the Jews of Israel, most Palestinian Arabs are descendants of recent immigrants to Palestine. They could have come from a number of Arab countries. Great Britain didn't colonize Palestine; the British government was given temporary control over some of the territory of the former Ottoman Empire by the League of Nations. The purpose of the mandate was to provide government administration, services and security for Palestine in preparation for independence. A strong argument can be made the British did do a good job in Palestine, considering the circumstances. The irresolvable conflict between Arabs and Jews made the situation impossible by the late 1940s, but that didn't negate the earlier success Britain had in holding the Palestinian Mandate together and developing it economically.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:26:30 +0000I'm not convinced that last year's safety program was effective. nationthailandNo more excuses!

Ukraine already broke many agreements from the past. Ukraks shows through generations that they cannot be trusted.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:17:45 +0000It was a post off Drummonds YT site, what a failure that was, no idea about the subject filmed through a milk bottle. Why upload rubbish like that with not even a commentary? I know very little about Flowers other than he's another of Drumond's Pattaya obsessions, never met him and certainly not my boss.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:15:59 +0000I wouldn't say idyllic. It was fun though. I've always been taught to treat others how you'd like to be treated. That has served me well in my 56 on this planet.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:15:43 +0000On my computer screen, the ThumbsDown Emoji is completely black. I could change it to hot pink, if I wished, but why bother.....Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:14:48 +0000That was interesting. I searched, and could provide no evidence it has been eliminated or superseded, which does not mean it has, or has not. It just means I could not find such. You did thou have me curious, so I did a search and found Director General Notification Regarding Income Tax No.346 (in Thai language). https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/user_upload/kormor/newlaw/dg346.pdf I put that document into Google Gemini to translate. From what I read, Section 3 has the Conditions for the Tax Exemption. It notes Interest and deposit returns are exempt from inclusion in personal income tax calculations only if all of the following conditions are met. (1) The combined amount of interest and deposit returns from all accounts must not exceed 20,000 baht during that tax year. (2) The deposit account name and tax identification number used to open the account must belong to the individual taxpayer who receives the benefit of the interest or deposit return. (3) The taxpayer must not have instructed the bank not to send interest or deposit-return information to the Revenue Department. (4) The interest or deposit return must be one for which the Revenue Department has actually received the relevant information from the bank under Section 5. Section 5 lays out some bank reporting requirments where the bank is required to report information on the individuals account to the Revenue Department. That is a Gemini AI translation, and AI make LOTS of mistakes, so take that translation with a LOT of salt. While I found it of interest, I don't know enough to verify it. In my case, I simply pay 15% Thai with holding tax on my interest (which greatly exceeds 20,000 baht/year) , but that 20,000 baht/year exemption may be of interest to others. One thing of note, per the Thai tax law, based on my reading translations of such, if one does pay 15% Thai income tax (with holding tax) on one's Thai bank interest, that satisfies the requirement for that income from a Thai tax perspective and hence it need not be included in the assessment if one reaches the threshold of assessable income needed to file a Thai tax return. I have posted on this before.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:13:12 +0000I just hope that you, if you are Amish, do not use a zipper to keep your fly closed..... This is all I have to reply to your comment. There are buttons There are zippers I refuse to use zippers, but not because I am Amish. I refuse to use zippers on my fly because I love the anticipation of a woman unbuttoning it. A zippered fly is just too unromantic.... So, you must admit: The Amish know more about sex than most English.....am I.... RIGHT?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:12:45 +0000We didn't get to choose our nicknames, you must have had an idyllic childhood , surrounded by all that friendliness and politeness, It can't have been much funFri, 05 Jun 2026 15:10:56 +0000Unfortunately this Ponzi will never die.
