Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
I would caution against using common sense as a guide to determining your actions. I would want to be guided by the letter of the law and the written (not spoken) word, no more, no less. I think where people get into difficulty is when they try to interpret things and give themselves the benefit of the doubt, because it only makes sense. -

Top Oxfordshire Prep School to Close Amid Controversial VAT Policy on Private Education
I'm guessing he sees University students as priviliged little rich kids full of students rowing their boats down the river at the weekends, in which case I'm sure he would like to see them punished. The politics of jealousy and class hatred. The politics of the left. -

Time is Long Overdue for Barack Obama to Leave Washington and Exit US Politics
The following post-election link, dtd 08Nov2024, suggests Obama leave US politics: How Trump crushed Obama's legacy - UnHerd The links first half rambles far too much. I've quoted /copied pertinent parts below: Barack Obama, campaigned very publicly and hard for Kamala Harris, often overshadowing the candidate herself. Obama’s role in the Harris campaign was truthfully less strange than the fact that the former President somehow remained in Washington after his time in the White House was over, instead taking meetings there in his Kalorama mansion ($8.1 Million), which is hardly the most valuable entry in his bulging portfolio of luxury properties — which also includes high Gilded Age mansions in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard. But it was surely the most important, serving as the center of his unprecedented Shadow Presidency. As the leader of the Democratic Party, Obama was hardly a pretender to power in Washington. Rather, between 2008 and the evening of 5 November 2024, he was usually the foremost power in the land. After serving two elected terms in the White House, Obama then set up and captained the so-called “Resistance” to Trump — an activity that was contrary to all prior American norms and practices. After Trump left, Obama stayed in Washington and continued his role as unelected Party Leader during what had been advertised as the Biden Presidency. Obama’s method of avoiding scrutiny from the pliant DC press was entirely in character, alternately drawing back into the shadows and then, out of whatever ego weakness, announcing that he was the true mover of events. Free from normative oversight or responsibility, he and his retainers could also avoid answering questions about the size or sources of his personal fortune, which was rumored to amount to somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion. As a private citizen, Obama didn’t have to answer questions. He could have it both ways — state power, with no public responsibility. Until he mis-stepped. By compelling Biden to withdraw in favor of Harris, who turned out to be an even worse candidate. It made it impossible, if only for a week or two, to maintain the fiction that Obama was simply living in Washington DC while staying out of politics. If Biden was senile, then who was actually running the country? Who had enough clout to order the President’s removal from the ticket? The answer in both cases was Obama. And now he was on the hook not only for Kamala Harris, but retroactively for the more general mess that he and his operatives had helped to make of the country. Now, in one night, the Obama machine, which he built on the model of the Chicago Democrat Party machine, & which he used to run the country, including the prestige institutions and the media, through a combination of bureaucratic capture and social pressure, accentuated by control of large tech platforms, was finally melting down. No wonder the press was in shock. None of the lines that they had been given could be reconciled with the numbers onscreen. A reckoning will surely come. At the very least, the time has now arrived for Barack Obama to leave Washington and exit American politics, now that his Shadow Presidency — which proved to be even more counter-productive and chaotic than Trump’s first term in office — has gone down in flames. -

Thai Bank Account - 800k deposit
Update , got my bank statement from Bkk bank this morning , got a new bank letter and off to the Immi. office. 2 officers and 2 yellow shirted aids with nothing to do but check my documents , one officer asked why I had a bank statement when I already had the bank book pages copied signed and stamped ? He could not understand that my account had never ever gone below 800,000 baht in 12 years , yet they wouldn't accept it. He was told by another officer that that was the requirement now . He shrugged his shoulders and walked off. So now they wanted an account transaction for today. So back into Ratchaburi , made a deposit got the book updated and back to the Immi. office. I was given 3 more docs to sign, 1st) STM 2 which I had already submitted , but the doc. has been changed to include a second signature done in the presence of an Immi. officer. 2nd) Acknowledge of Penalties for Visa overstay , which I had already submitted , but the doc. has also been changed to include a second signature done in the presence of an Immi. officer. 3rd) Acknowledgment of conditions for a retired person to stay Temporary in the Kingdom of Thailand. Plus I had to sign my wife's documents she submitted for a new TM 30 , I haven't moved or been out of the country , but they still insisted on her doing a new one. Then for some reason or another , every piece of paper I submitted was photographed. I will be interested to hear from anybody else who uses Ratchaburi Immigration in the near future , see if it slackens off any. -
