Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
I note, and see that these are supposedly quotes from the Thai Revenue Dept concerning the filing of tax forms - I see that it says exactly what I have been reading in the TRD instruction web site plus what I have been reading plush what is mentioned in webinars etc -"assessable" income - and that phrase in English means to me that if one has a US govt or other government civil pension that is not taxable except in one's home country, then that plus SS is not taxable by DTA either, and/or an LTR, one doesn't have to file unless they do have some assessable income. If like me they have no other income, then filing is not required unless they are changing the rules on not having ASSESSABLE income. Until I see that in the TRD, where ALL income whether assessable or not must be reported and filed then I will do nothing. -

Building a house in Thailand
You hit on the major issue about building a home here. I too wanted to build but after being here I've realized this is only reasonable if you personally fulfill two requirements: 1. You are experienced and have some degree of expertise in all phases of home construction including structure, foundation, plumbing, electrical. 2. You are willing to proceed slowly enough on construction that you can personally monitor and oversee the workers doing their jobs. Yes, I suppose that somewhere in Thailand there are competent builders and workers who can perform these duties for you. I've just never met any am not willing to trust someone to pick them for me. After living in a rental house and then buying and making numerous repairs on what I bought I have a clear view of work standards and the expertise of all the flavors of 'engineers' I've seen involved. Some of their techniques offer gifts that keep giving for years. Little or no solvent used on plumbing pipes and Fittings, poor electrical connections, wire laid in unsealed pvc conduit and the buried having nicks in insulation that eventually finds moisture and electrolyses the copper until it dissolves, poorly laid tile with inadequate mortar that rise like tombstones as time passes, etc. ONE THING THAT MUST BE DONE! I would never build a house here without ALL plumbing and pipe runs, except septic tank/sewer runs, being FULLY ACCESSIBLE along side of foundation,under a raised floor, or in the attic. Failure to do so means you will eventually find yourself breaking up concrete floors or walls to access and repair the poor workmanship as I have found on several occasions including all the pipe feeding and circulating my pool water. My observation is that everything in Thailand must be done three times to actually succeed at any task including immigration, repairs, new construction simply because it is NEVER done right the first time. So if you need a hobby that keeps you busy f**king with your house for the rest of your life then let them build it for you without any oversight. If you can't provide or hire the right knowledge and experience to look over the shoulder of each and every tradesman continually as they work then you will pay for it many times over. You are facing an almost insurmountable challenge. You've been warned. Your mileage may vary but mine has averaged -30mpg for over 8 years. (a leak in the tank,fuel lines,fuel pump,etc ) -

Transgender Woman Assaulted by Foreigner on Pattaya Beach
"she confronted the man and asked him to leave" ... can't ask someone to leave a public area. "After he walked away towards a nearby public toilet, she followed" ... could have avoided further issues, if he didn't follow him. Oh well ... such drama -

And this particular office you should record the conversation as a back up. Just in case. -

Eat Like No One Else: Why no Costco....here?
The only Kirkland products brought into Thailand are dry goods which are much cheaper to ship. Meats and seafood that need refrigeration are too expensive. I'm sure the political climate here has a lot do with Costco taking a pass on Thailand. I'd kill for a Costco dog. Nothing in Thailand comes close. -
