What did you have for breakfast?
So 4 quid a go if ordered for three normal people. Not bad, but probably disallowed. As the Small Faces sang... All or Nothing! -

Taxation Registration
I live in Phuket. I don't have any advise. I have some experience, but my situation is very different from yours. My Thai wife, thinking I should get a Thailand tax-ID, applied online for me to get a Thai tax ID. That online application goes to Bangkok based RD office and Bangkok forwarded it to the Phuket RD office. A Phuket RD official phoned our place, my wife answered the call and all the talking was in Thai. My wife told me later she was asked am I staying in Thaliand for >180 days in a taxation year (she answered yes) and what was my income source? My wife says replied I had no Thai income, and only foreign pension income, where at the moment (since before 1-Jan-2024) I was bringing no money into Thailand. The Phuket RD official advised if I had no Thai income and if I was bringing no money into Thailand, I did not need a Thai tax ID number. So he stated he would not give me a new tax-ID. When my wife asked if my pink-ID # could be used for an online Thai tax return, the RD official advised that was possible but that the pink-ID # had to be activated first as an online tax-ID #. I am also on an LTR visa and my wife asked if on an LTR visa, and if I then bring current year income into Thailand, can I then get a tax-ID and need to file a Thai tax return? The Phuket RD official advised he never heard of an LTR visa, that he would look into this, and phone back. The Phuket RD official NEVER phoned back. So I can only suppose he (and the Phuket RD office) either doesn't know yet, or they know but can't be bothered to phone me back (possibly - I hope - because on an LTR visa I won't need a Thai tax ID), or possibly because he has been busy and thus forgot about the promise to phone back. My suspicion is the later (he forgot). As for your situation, you ARE bringing income into Thailand. Assuming that you stay >180 days in Thailand , then I believe you need to familiarize yourself with the Double Tax Agreement (DTA) from the source country where you receive your income. That may give further clue as to what your requirment is here in regards to whether you have adequate assessable foreign income to need to get a Thai Tax ID and file a Thai tax return. That is my experience. I suspect you could also go down to the Phuket RD office and simply sit in their office to give 'official' advice. I may do the same some time in the (distant) future. Good luck and best wishes in your consideration. -

UK Universities Urged to Tackle Antisemitism or Face Funding Cuts
You need to take that up with Sir Vernon Bogdanor, he’s the guy that brought up Kangaroo courts, but I think I mentioned that earlier. I’m not ensuring anything Brian, alleged or otherwise. I’m very supportive of due process in the administration of justice. -

Road Construction Warnings
A heck of a lot of tourists infiltrate the city in December making some areas a nightmare to drive. My attack plan is usually via the outer ring road taking the long route and back roads to a destination. But that’s not going to work if you live in the city.
