Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
Then you give them a reason for why you need one. You have a bank account, earning interest, with tax withheld. You will file a tax return to get the withheld tax refunded. For that, you need a TIN.....or your pink ID card. Activation of pink ID number was easy....at my particular rural TRD office. Office lady called the provincial office, completed while we waited. -

Do you drink drive?
Fortunately, most Thai people have an acute sense of class and can gauge it instantly, just as anyone with insight and discernment can. Your own words here painfully illustrate why you believe Thais perceive you as low class. Without even meeting you, it’s evident from your comments alone. So, don’t drag others into your mire with the use of “we”. There are many contributors here who demonstrate a level of class far above the standards you exemplify. -

Do you drink drive?
This is as dumb as the seatbelt or helmet argument - never used it, never needed it... The cognitive disconnect highlights a very simplistic stupidity. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other agencies: Global Statistics: It's estimated that around 20-30% of all road traffic deaths worldwide involve alcohol. This varies significantly by region; in some areas, alcohol involvement may reach or exceed 50% of road fatalities. Annual Estimates: Globally, about 1.35 million people die each year due to road accidents. This means 270,000 to 405,000 deaths can be linked to drink-driving annually. Non-Fatal Injuries: The number of injuries related to alcohol-impaired driving is even higher. For every death, there are several injuries and instances of long-term disability. Globally, road accidents lead to around 50 million injuries annually, with a notable proportion related to alcohol use. Regional Variations: Countries with strict drink-driving laws and effective enforcement tend to have lower alcohol-related accident rates. In contrast, regions with limited law enforcement and higher alcohol consumption rates see significantly higher numbers. So... to answer your dumbed down, over simplified and idiotic response... There are between 270,000 to 405,000 names that could be mentioned to answer your question... those are just deaths... a lot more maimed. Your implication that because someone has not yet had a drink driving related accident means its safe, is simply moronic and outrageously deluded to the point of sheer idiocy. -

Do you drink drive?
A good point... I've friends who can resolve these issues very simply.... (Police guys)... They've helped on a few occasions when a friend was over the limit and got caught. The joke is that I never ask them for help, they ask why I don't drink & drive, they can help if I have an issue... They don't get the point... its the Police I'm bothered about - its hurting someone cos I was an idiot and drove drunk that bothers me (no matter how carefully I thought I may drive). -

I think the silent majority have stated their point well enough. Results are in line with what I expected. Because you tailored the poll - and didn't leave an option for... ... having one or two drinks and remaining within the DUI limit and drive. So there was no option for the many who may have a beer or two and drive. Its a valid point - Do you think two cans of beer over an place you over the legal limit to drive ? Its an irrelevant point if you are having 4 beers as there is a greater certainty that someone will be over the limit. We used to get the Police Turning up to the Bars with breathalysers and we'd have a go.... I've also tried the 'gadget' breathalyser, but doubt how accurate they are (about +/- 10% error I'd guess)... All fairly moot if someone is driving after 4 or 6 beers consumed over a couple of hours - they are drunk over the limit and impaired. If a normal size male has had just 2 beer (330ml cans of Singha for example) its very unlikely they are over the legal limit or impaired.
