Why do some expats just complain but then never leave?

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
I just happened to see a stall (at Lotus) selling Saw Palmetto 160mg (same dosage as OP) from the brand "now", 90 tablets for 1190B. It would be easy and certainly cheaper to buy it yourself from iherb.com, delivery takes about 9 days (much faster than what iherb says). This kind of stalls selling vitamins etc are quite common in the shopping centers. -

How to get a Usufruct?
Just my passport. Others at different land offices needed quite a bit more. Some land offices, so we're told, just flat out won't do them. Just pop in local land office, and ask what they want to see. Good Luck -

White Supremacist's Plot to Attack Tennessee Power Grid Using Explosive Drone
White Supremacist's Plot to Attack Tennessee Power Grid Using Explosive Drone Sounds more like "FBI plot to attack Tennessee Power Grid using a white supremacist". Like when they set that group of idiots up to kidnap Whitmer. Turns out, they had to provide the funds, the weapons, the plans and encouragement. Otherwise, the group was incapable of a circle jerk. Gonna be interesting to see how much they "influenced" Jan6, when the new DOJ gets to look at the records. -

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
Yep. He "interpreted" (misrepresented for profit is a better descriptor) the Thai-US DTA's "saving clause" as NOT being applicable to remitted IRA proceeds -- making Thailand the only country where US persons, being tax residents of Thailand, did not have to declare their IRA income on their US tax return -- because the DTA gave Thailand "exclusive taxation rights" on IRAs. And not having to pay Thai taxes, 'cause of the "not remitted in year earned" rule. Result: Pay no one any taxes on your annual IRA RMD cashout, if you spend 180 days in Thailand, and don't remit that RMD cashout until the next year. Too good to be true? Duh. And, yes, the DTA does say Thailand has "exclusive taxation rights" on private pensions and IRAs. But, the US inserts a "saving clause" into every one of its DTAs, allowing in all but a few situations (e.g, alimony, child support) US taxation authority override of DTA language. Sounds arrogant, right? But in actuality it doesn't override any of the spirit of a DTA, namely prevention of double taxation. What it does do, however, is prevent double No taxation. For example, in this case, where Thailand doesn't take advantage of its exclusive taxation right of IRAs -- the "saving clause" allows the US to tax this IRA -- and keep all the proceeds. No double taxation violation here. But if Thailand did tax the IRA, then the US would have to absorb a tax credit for this Thai taxation -- again, no double taxation. The OECD loves the concept of the saving clause, as it prevents a no no taxation situation, which is at the heart of the OECD's new Model Tax Treaty language. I won't belabor the point -- this IRA "saving clause" situation was settled in similar situation involving Switzerland -- and can be found at the below link. But Thomas Carden has successfully sold the IRA tax avoidance scheme to, apparently, many Yanks here in Thailand -- and the scheme is, apparently, too complex for the GS-11 at the IRS to see through (the Swiss example was solved by the senior lawyer on the IRS staff). https://aseannow.com/topic/1008555-tax-specialist-in-chiang-mai/page/2/ But now with all remittances, regardless of year remitted, being taxable -- Carden's snake oil bubble regarding IRAs has burst. Good. He's a licensed Enrolled Agent for the IRS -- and like with CPAs, he takes a fiduciary oath to protect his clients, and the US. Some of us take that oath seriously -- others apparently don't. So, beware of anything Carden is selling.
