Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
The financial account that I had (which froze my account) also requires a home residence/address, but it also required one reside in that home country address >182 days per year. I was only in that 'home address' two to three weeks a year (it was a relative's address that I was using in my home country). The financial organization determined (via the country Revenue Department) that I no longer resided in that address > 182 days per year. So the financial organisation (1) froze my trading accounts, and at the same time contacted me and required that I (2) confirm what the country revenue department told them (that I no longer resided at that address >182 days per year), and (3) fill in a form with the tax ID # of the country where I resided in order to unfreeze my account. When I initially correctly replied that I had no tax-ID (in Thailand), they still would not let me proceed with my trading account. They gave me 2 choices : (a) obtain a Thai Tax ID # and still keep my accounts 'frozen' (ie no new equity positions - I could only close existing positions), or (b) close my trading account. I chose (b) - I closed my trading account. At about the same time, I then found another financial institution in the same home country that would let me open an account even thou I lived in Thailand, BUT they required I provide a Thai tax ID. I tried to get a Thai tax ID but failed (Phuket RD would not give me one), although the Phuket RD did state my pink-ID could be my tax-ID if activated. So I passed that information on to the 'other financial institution' (giving them my pink-ID # with the caveat that the Thai RD advised me that they had not activated that ID # yet). The financial institution was happy with that even with the noted caveat that the Thai tax ID was not yet active. The timing was partly beneficial - as I was immediately able to trade ,and made a very quick large financial return with days of opening the new account (basically doubled my income for the year). The return would have been MASSIVELY better (equivalent ~10 years income in a six month period) had my account not been frozen prior by the 1st financial institution, but that is all water under the bridge, and that is yet another 'fish that got away' story of my life. 😥 We all have those stories.😅 In truth though I can't complain. I have a new active trading account. The financial institution is OK that I reside in Thailand. And everything is 'above board' and 'legal'. -

Living in Thailand is very cheap?
If I buy a rechargable flashlight for 22bht inc free delivery, I'm fairly sure it ain't me paying the postage. It's actually very good but the battery was too small, after fitting a 21700 35bht 3200ma lion battery it's amazing value. I bought 3, light lasts 6hrs after the mod. Long sleeve sports shirts 89bht, rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard 65bht All free delivery, can't see how I'm paying for the delivery. -

Here we go. Mega MAGA Mess is coming. Is SS, MediCare etc gone... soon?
I would like to be polite to Democrats but they make it too difficult to discuss anything in a rational fashion. Let me explain what Musk will do, it's his modus operandi on everything. He will open source every government contract. What that means is that every contract will be viewable online and you'll find an army of autists swarming over every single line to see where money is wasted. Medicare is a prime example, not a single end user is happy about the US being ripped off compared to prices in other countries. The savings available to the US government by open sourcing medical contracts will be massive. Therefore the budget can be slashed without affecting the end user experience. Apply the same to every single Federal agency and two things will come to pass. The first one is virtually dream territory - to balance the budget. If that is achieved, or near achieved, then the cost of financing the national debt will drop. On top of that thousands of employees in zombie programs will be laid off - I reckon by the mid terms there will be a reduction of 300,000 Federal employees. Then we have the Congressional issue. -
