Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Hmmm . . . "new" member, posting a very loaded question of a topic, trying to change the parameters of the argument mid-stream? Yeah . . . nope, not gonna take this bait. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Can you post a link to your country's DTA. I would be interested to have a quick read of the articles pertaining to pensions. Perhaps some members for your home country haven't even read their DTA with Thailand. -

And they are doing it here. Way too many American pages on a Thai forum and all of them littered with lies and Russian disinformation. -

Thai Nationals Risk Execution Over Drug Trafficking in Indonesia
Drug Traffickers Are Subject to Death Penalty. Thais is the rule implemented by some ASEAN nations. Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Didn't they check it before their travel? -

“Queers for Palestine” Offered $1 Million to host a gay pride parade in Gaza or West Bank
Yeah, I read it wrong. The weed they sold me this morning is so strong. Let’s not forget it was illegal in most western countries in our lifetimes also. Some would argue they never should have legalised it. HIV numbers would have been way down for example. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I opine that they will have the local banks provide a status of expat remittances. If they do have access to any other sources for ATM or credit cards then that data may come to them somehow too. I don't have the patience to read the CRS , FATCA or OECD guidelines for trading of banking info to have any idea but since my finances are so basic, I don't have to worry right now. I did read where they will want "ALL workers in Thailand" to register in their plan to broaden the tax base but that this won't come about until the new laws are passed in 2025. -

Oil Transport Ship Stranded off Koh Mai Si Due to Engine Failure, Crew of 12 Safe
Vessels of this size, and prudent mariners on any boat, will generally have parallel filter systems, with a y-valve to quickly change from one to the other in the event one side gets clogged. This allows continuous running, and ability to change the clogged filter 'on-the-fly'. Often large boats 'polish' their fuel, pumping from one tank to another through a separate filter system to keep fuel clean. This being Thailand, you have to wonder how well their filter systems were taken care of. Dodgy fuel abounds in the marine industry, especially in SE Asia. They do have their anchor down, which is the first thing you do in a situation where you lose propulsion. Curious that in only 15-20 meters of water offshore from the island their anchor didn't set at all. A boat this size normally carries enough anchor rode to easily anchor in 30-40 meters of water. Generally sea-floor substrates in the Gulf of Thailand are Sand, ideal for holding, and the depth contours offshore do look like it's probably sandy, though the navigation charts I have don't show what the bottom is in this area. -

I agree. There are already country specific forums. This tax forum pulls in information, examples, links, opinions etc from all nationalities. If no interest, a quick scroll and move on. What's the problem? -

Expat Taxation - Does anyone really know what's going on?
IMO the principle to follow is - never give a government department any more information than one has to. I won't be getting a tax number until Immigration tells me I have to have one. I won't be submitting a tax return in Thailand until the TRD tells me I have to. When I do submit a tax return, it will have zero income, because I will be transferring pre-2024 savings for the next 5-6 years. Plus any tax-free allowances, just to do their heads in. If the Thai government wants to waste its time chasing me, bring it on.
