Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
Well, of course. This goes along with all the reports from folks turned away from TRD offices, who couldn't get a TIN, because they didn't have a tax obligation. KBank is obviously one of those organizations -- vetted and licensed by the Thai govt -- that has a grasp on reality: NO NEED FOR A TIN, IF NO TAXABLE INCOME, AND THUS NO TAXES OWED. Thus, with my TEDA of 560k, only after I remit 561k of assessable income would I have a tax filing obligation, 'cause I owe taxes -- and thus would need a TIN. Otherwise, why? (Thank you KBank for restoring my faith that Thailand has some logical thinkers.) Yes, we've all heard the cry, particularly from shyster accounting firms (but also from the righteous on this forum), that you need to come in, pay 12000 baht, and get a TIN -- or else you're in trouble if you remit 60k in assessable income. Hogwash. My near minimum wage gardener makes 125k -- and like the other 99% of manual laborers, earning near minimum wage -- isn't about to file a tax return, not they he could on his own, nor could he afford to hire someone to file. No, KBank, among many others, realizes that some regulations suck, and thus need to be ignored -- particularly when there's no realistic risk -- and when there's a definite cost to the govt to process null returns, with no checks to pay for such processing. Once again, this argument, which will never be solved with our current info from TRD, comes down to common sense. -

Trump wins on the Stormy case as sentencing delayed "indefinitely".
Not really, it would just show he is using his business cash to change things to suit his mindset, which is, worrying, it seems out of the cash thing, he is a bit odd, but Trump seems to like odd people, just look at his team selection...... -

Do you use condoms with the Ladies of the Night?
I think everyone should use protection whoever they are having sex with, apart from a loyal wife or long term partner who you trust, and who trusts you. Who wants to contract a sexual disease like herpes or hiv? That would be horrific. Your personal health is number one. No one is around forever but the longer you can remain healthy for the longer and more beneficial your life will be.- 1

Correct usage of latex condoms can reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading herpes. https://medlineplus.gov/genitalherpes.html How do you know for certain? Ever been blood tested for it? -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
Hi, I'm fully aware of the relevant sanctions. At the time of building my Cubesat (2017) there were no sanctions, and the project was purely for educational purposes. When I taught in Naypyitaw, certainly some of my students were senior military/police, and again - there were no sanctions at that time. Nowadays, I doubt very much if any of my students are from police or military families, for the simple reason that they would not be welcome at the school. I'm teaching at a grade 2 school, with a much lower salary than my Naypyitaw job. This is because: 1 - I also teach online, and don't need a high salary 2 - I will soon start to receive my UK state pension, so don't need a high salary 3 - This job gives me free time to further my educational charity work I think teaching primary grade science to 8 year olds will not see me fall foul of any sanctions 🙂 Similar to Thailand, landlords do not like to rent to foreigners, because they must then register the presence of the foreigner to the authorities, which then exposes them to demands for tax payments... I never bother to register with the UK embassy, because experience demonstrates (in many countries), that the UK embassy has little interest in helping the citizens of their country....
