Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
This is a major issue in many countries. The English teachers can't speak English! This is the problem that I face in Myanmar. The local teachers can read and write English to an acceptable level (usually), but their spoken English is appalling. This is no surprise, because they've learnt to speak English from a local teacher, who learnt from a local teacher who learnt from....... You get the idea! Sort of Chinese Whispers and the English they speak is not the same language as the English that I speak 🙂 In Myanmar, I do a lot of volunteer work to help local Burmese teachers improve their English pronunciation, so that their students can also achieve clear pronunciation. But there has to be a willingness to learn! In Myanmar, every Tom, Dick, Jack and Jill is extremely keen to learn to speak and understand English, because they realise that knowledge of English can increase their chances of getting a job or going on to higher education. In Thailand.... well they seem not so keen. As to Native English Speakers, that phrase means absolutely nothing when one considers many of the unintelligible Brummie, Scouse and Scottish accents that I've heard over the years. A dear friend of mine (now deceased) taught English at a school in Yangon where I was also teaching. I once asked his students what they had learnt today. "Teacher Simon, we don't know" was their reply. "Huh?, why not?" I asked. "Because no-one can understand him!! - but we are too polite to say anything..." Oops! -

Should I do my own tax online or just pay a Thai accountant
I started the registration process last week as I wanted to do what you have done and have a look around the online system, but when I came to the end I wasn't happy with agreeing to be bound by the T&Cs to file online without having viewed the online system first. so I cancelled the process. As for your filing, was it accepted and what was the result? Did you have to provide supporting docs? Did you submit PND90 or PND91 and how did you decide which one to use? Do you have remitted income that is covered by the DTA? If yes, did you report it? Do you have remitted income that has already been taxed in the UK? If yes, did you report it? Sorry for all the Q's but I'm just trying to gather as much info as I can Thanks in advance. -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
I am trying (unsuccessfully) to understand your view here. If a DTA, to which Thailand signs, states a particular pension is ONLY taxable in the source country (which is not Thailand), that you still believe that pension is STILL taxable in Thailand (despite wording in the DTA and wording in Ministerial Decree 18 which covers DTAs) ? If so, you and I have very different opinions. I believe my view matches that of the Thai revenue department, in part because given a Royal Decree notes the income is exempt (as per DTA wording) and given that there has since 2017 never been a place on a Thai tax form (neither English nor Thai language) to list exemptions for DTA income/pensions (for cases where DTA states only a non-Thailand country can tax said income/pension).
