Pattaya Beach Swarms with Tourists; Locals Voice Concerns
That's a dated urban myth. The street runoff in any seaside city only has one place to go. Street runoff is not sewage. And how many times has the beach been shut down for ecoli ? Plenty of beaches in Australia and around the world get shut down for ecoli -

Bank Account Help
Hello, I came to Thailand, received a 1 month exemption, and I'm now under a 2 month family extension. I want to turn my visa into a marriage visa, which requires a non-o, but I cannot apply to my visa service without a bank account. I would highly prefer not to leave Thailand in order to change my Visa, as I am in a remote location. My visa service suggested I ask every small branch around me to see if any smaller branches would be willing to open one, but no success. TLDR; Does anyone know a reliable/fair service to help open an bank account for a US citizen while under a visa exempt extended? -

Mastering the art of a good dump...
my dumps have been getting increasingly messy recently. it's been a long time since I've had a long, smooth slug type poo. Recently it's been more something akin to a modern art painting, splattered all over and around the pristine white ceramic.. and the smell has been particularly pungent, like a boiled egg that's been left out on the kitchen worktop for 2 years.. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Yes. And per the DTA, Thailand has primary taxation authority to tax these remittances. UNLESS this new TRD rule is used as an exception: So, what's in your IRA? Pre 2024 income; thus not assessable by TRD decree. Yes, tax deferred, in the case of Traditionl IRAs -- or after tax income, in the case of a Roth (or tx exempt, for subsequent earnings). But, in both cases, the assets in your IRA began as pre 2024 income -- what they look like on 12/31/2023 is irrelevant, i.e., cash, stocks, whatever. So, it looks clear -- at least to me -- that the TRD decree means your IRA distributions, albeit labelled self directed pensions, are not taxable -- except for income accumulated post 2023 -- and recent info says you can use FIFO, thus these earnings would represent the last element of any monies remitted. Without that Nov 2023 decree, the whole remittance scenario would be different. The Traditional IRA would be taxable by Thailand. As for Roth IRAs -- look at the US-UK DTA for the protocol that dictates a tax exempt Roth by the US must be tax exempt by the UK. If we ever get to this point with Thailand, with worldwide taxation, then probably such a protocol would be needed for the US-Thai DTA to exempt Roth IRAs. But, a story for another day. -

Congrats, You've joined a small group of similar people who have to delve in the ridiculous kind of post such as above. You've certainly earned entitlement to my ignore list. No worries and you're welcome in advance.- 1
