Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
The German text does not say that the RAF bombing in 1939 killed 435 people. It clearly is about the total death toll during the war from bombings. That first bombing attempt was a miserable failure. Stop making things up. Yes, you are right about Silesia. But this justified the occupation of Poland by the Nazis? It was a legitimate war? Even thought it meant the erasure of Poland as a nation? Now, you definitely qualify as a Nazi fellow traveler. You condemn the racism and war crimes (although downplaying those) but condone the aggression and conquest. And the massive carpet bombing? And your potted history is very misleading. For at least the last 250 years Poland has been a victim of the Germans, not the aggressor. Share with me the dates of the epoch when Poland was a predatory and awful neighbor. -

Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted
I fear you have been reading too much of the posts concerning the upcoming U.S. elections. The tone, outlook would fit right in with the ridiculous anger venting … jai yen, yen (not meant as a criticism, just an observation out of concern …). -

Cheapo Funeral......where, and how much.
Thank you for the comprehensive reply. The problem here is, the Guy, a US citizen died quickly, in hospital, of cancer. No wife or relatives in Thailand, few friends, and due to unfortunate lapses of cognition before being forced into medical intervention, locked out of his assets.... so only 8000 baht cash available. Attempts to unlock his assets were thwarted by his untimely demise. Now huge and accumulating hospital bills, and issues with the family in US, no way to fund the processes to unlock his assets......- 1

Expat Taxation - Does anyone really know what's going on?
A caveat (?) I would apply is getting a Thai TIN is not always so easy. My wife tried for me (online application) some months back, and thus far this has failed. The online application for the TIN goes to the Bangkok office. The Bangkok office passed it to the Phuket office. An official from the Phuket office called us (talking to my wife on the phone). The official asked, why did I want a tax ID? My wife replied that it was because I was thinking I may need to file a Thai tax income return. The tax official asked what was my income, and was I bringing that income into Thailand? My wife noted my income was foreign pensions, and that while at present I was not bringing the money into Thailand, I was thinking to bring some in to Thailand in the future. The official replied if I was not bringing the money into Thailand, then I did not have to file a tax return. My wife noted I had a Thai Pink-ID, and was that an acceptable Tax ID? She noted that she had tried to use that Pink-ID in the online tax submission form for Thailand, and the Pink-ID was rejected. The official replied for the Pink-ID to be used as a tax ID (online) it needed to be activated first (as a tax-ID). The official repeated I did not need to file a tax return (nor need a TIN) if I was not bringing money into Thailand. My wife went one question further (not so relevant to this Aseannow thread), noted i was on an LTR visa, and if on that Visa would I need to submit a tax return if I brought money into Thailand. The official replied he never heard of an LTR visa. My wife also asked, if I earn money from interest (bonds/bank/mutual funds) in Thailand, given there was already a withholding tax, at what amount would I be required to file a tax return? The official replied, he would check and call my wife back (re: LTR visa and also filing a tax return for foreign/Thai amounts of income). He never called back. Clearly he was not in a hurry to give a foreigner a Thai TIN. So while waiting for a phone call back, that will likely NEVER come, I, like everyone else, will watch to see how this plays out in the coming year. I did come away with the sense that (1) Thai tax authorities are not keen on receiving a bunch of new paperwork (with more tax returns) and (2) Thai tax authorities themselves don't know yet the impact of the new tax interpretations, and (3) it is NOT always an easy process for a foreigner to get a Thai tax ID. At present time, its looking to me things are "in flux" and very few (anyone?) know for certain the outcome of the possible changes.
