Switching from Non-B to Marriage or Retirement Visa?
They should cancel them both at the same time. The Non-B is invalid after the work-permit is canceled. Ask them to provide you with a letter stating your termination date, in advance, which you can present to immigration. Others have answered the other questions - and not clear if they will allow you to switch w/o leaving the country - would have to ask. I ask them immediately after you cancel your permitted stay from the Non-B. An easy place to get a Non-O 90-day Visa is Savannakhet Laos - for retirement or marriage. Keep in mind that whichever you choose, when you apply for your FIRST 1-year extension at immigration, it will need to be for the same reason as the Non-O. Marriage-based is possible at Vientiane. Both Savannakhet and Vientiane require booking an appointment in-advance through their online system. Also, I hope your local Ampuhur does not "time you out" on the Yellow Book, until it is too late to get into Thai-Health. Mine took months after supplying everything including witness statements, but others report getting it on the day of application. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Hey, stat, welcome to the club. A lot of us have been put on his ignore list for posting positions opposed to his -- or for asking him questions he can't answer. Not a very stable platform on which to do business with. And why he has a dual personality -- posting as Mike Lister and Chiang Mai -- is freakish. Oh well. Keep of up your inquisitive questions and inputs -- I have enjoyed their value on this forum. -

Trump lost the respect of veterans – including me. He's a risk to our democracy.
Gobbler's no goober. He knows what the deep state is or he wouldn't use the term and he will likely explain it in some detail shortly. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Without the govt incentives they would not have chosen ev's to this degree, if you have a small population in such a large land area its easier to produce the amount of electricity to supply them especially when you have tons of hydro (which I mentioned due to its location re read it) therefore its not a level playing field in any shape or form its been massively subsidised all of these subisidies will evaporate . Just as UK ev's buyers are now finding out with car tax being introduced for ev's. Norway is the exception to the rule for those reasons and not typical of the ev market worldwide. No purchase/import tax on EVs (1990-2022). From 2023 some purchase tax based on the cars’ weight on all new EVs. Exemption from 25% VAT on purchase (2001-2022). From 2023, Norway will implement a 25% VAT on the purchase price from 500 000 Norwegian Kroner and over No annual road tax (1996-2021). Reduced tax from 2021. Full tax from 2022. No charges on toll roads (1997- 2017). No charges on ferries (2009- 2017). Maximum 50% of the total amount on ferry fares for electric vehicles (2018) Maximum 50% of the total amount on toll roads (2018-2022). From 2023 70% Free municipal parking (1999- 2017) Access to bus lanes (2005-). New rules allow local authorities to limit the access to only include EVs that carry one or more passengers (2016-) 25% reduced company car tax (2000-2008). 50% reduced company car tax (2009-2017). Company car tax reduction reduced to 40% (2018-2021) and 20 percent from 2022. Exemption from 25% VAT on leasing (2015-) The Norwegian Parliament decided on a national goal that all new cars sold by 2025 should be zero-emission (electric or hydrogen) (2017). «Charging right» for people living in apartment buildings was established (2017-) Public procurement: From 2022 cars needs to be ZEV.

Smart Home automations - anybody using?
I have various wifi smart plugs that give me energy usage data in the Tuya App, but as I am transitioning to Home Assistant I am moving from WiFi to Zigbee, so I needed a Zigbee Hub. A couple videos I have just uploaded: -

Chatgpt generated Thai stories
What I resent in ChatGPT is that if you ask ChatGPT to read the Thai, what you get is Thai read with a noticeable US accent. At present I wouldn't recommend using ChatGPT to practise listening and speaking Thai. -

Huge markup on imported foods. Why?
That's not a fact, it's just something that you just made up and hope people are too stupid or simply don't care enough to correct your fallacies. I'm glad that you asked me about COLES, as I posted it to try to stop you making a fool of yourself. There was good reason why I posted that. It not only states that it is Australian butter, but it has an extra badge stating Product of Australia. Ingredients are Australian cream, water and salt. Now look at the picture that you posted. Nowhere does it state that it is Australian. I mean nowhere. The ONLY connection to Australia is that historical brand name. Is it beginning to sink in as of yet? There is likely no Australian connection, ingredients nor influence to that product al all, other than KCG having acquired the right to use the brand name. -

Suvarnabhumi Visa Exempt - Change of Tactic Applied
I have been in Thailand for 15 out of the last 18 months on Visa Exempt plus Extensions ( including Family - Thai Wife ) plus Border bounces. I started to get questioned entering via BKK from immigration officers about "Do I have a Visa" etc.... Now when I hand over my passport ( last two Visa Exempt entries ) I also pass over the Pink Thai ID Card... That appears to have placated any further lines about Visas questions. That has now past smoothly for my last 2 x Visa Exempt entries since June 2024. I'm rather thinking that it is because of having a permanent address in Thailand that is sighted.... Hope this experience of mine ( only ) may assist others! 🙂 -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
If your fighting the environment to that extent for that long Thailand may not be for you. It will wear on you over time if you can't adjust. It's much cooler here in Chiang Mai. No problems with the sweaty heat. Zero need for A/C. Do need a fan though. Pattaya was a mess. I could not even walk around much without getting all sweaty. I usually waited until after sunset to leave the condo most days. -
