What is the tax treaty between Canada and Thailand?
On the subject of the Canada/Thailand DTA, and Thailand tax aspects for former residents of Canada who now live in Thailand, EXPATTAX services have a Youtube Video: They mostly state what most of us (who follow the taxation issues) already know. They did state a number of things, some of which were relevant to me, and confirmed what I deduced from the Canada/Thailand DTA: They have a slide on pensions from Canada. They claim if one's only source of income is pensions from Canada, then such pension is only taxable in Canada, and further the claim one does not need to file a Thai tax return for such pension money brought into Thailand if it is the only income. But if capital gains, dividends, or rental income are also brought into Thailand then a Thai tax return is required. They present some hypothetical 'case studies'. Their case study-1 is a Canadian, who is married and lives in Thailand and receives equivalent of 2-million THB from their RRSP. According to EXPATTAX, in such a case of money withdrawn from an RRSP (if that and other Canadian pensions are the only income source), no Thai income tax return need be filed and there is no Thai tax on the RRSP amount (they note in such a case, tax on the RRSP withdrawal amount will thou need to be paid in Canada). They also give hypothetical case studys on capital gains, and it starts getting a lot more complicated then. Of course such videos, are in part to advertise their services, where they provide their website and a contact email address. The video is VERY Canadian expat specific, ... its almost an hour long ... and it can be quite slow at times (at least for me it was). However, if one looks at the youtube description under the video, they give a time/linked list of what they discuss, where I believe that is very useful, so one is not forced to sit down through the entire video. -

Uzbek Women Clash at Pattaya Beach Over Territory Dispute, Alarming Tourists
" Officers took photographs, documented the identities of those involved, and released them without further action." What about checking for work permits, visas and then kick them out of the country? -

Election Day Updates -
I believe his intentions were a vote against Trump more than a vote for Harris. What a Trump hater is willing to endure is quite remarkable. Long haul crap economy seat, jet lag, waste of money or frequent flyer miles. Then do it all over again a few days after. The worst part had to be that he contributed to global warming and ozone layer depletion by that fossil fuel loving carbon monoxide spewing jumbo jet. I concur a wellness check is in order. -
