Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Wealthy Pensioner's. The TRD showed no willingness to consider the LTR exemption (Royal Decree). In my eFiling I had uploaded the Royal Decree in Thai, the TRD-instruction in Thai regarding said decree, and a screenshot of "no tax on foreign assets" from the LTR website. TRD staff printed out these 3 documents because I saw the print-outs with my own eyes in the paper file when I visited the TRD office. -

So where did you meet your Thai girlfriend or wife?
Let’s flip the scenario for a moment. Imagine I marry, give up my career to stay at home and raise children as a 'stay at home dad', dedicating my time, energy, and identity to building a stable, loving household while my successful wife climbs the professional ladder. Then, years later, she decides to leave. Where does that leave me? That’s not just emotional upheaval - it’s economic devastation. The career path I sacrificed is gone, my earning power diminished, and I’m left picking up the pieces of a life I helped build, now shut out from the rewards of it. Suddenly, that "piece of paper" you are scoffing at doesn’t seem so meaningless after all. In my own case, my wife gave up her career to become a full-time mother. It wasn’t a decision made lightly, nor unilaterally. I travel often for work, and it was important to both of us that there be a steady presence at home - that she be the anchor a home. That choice, though made with love and purpose, came at great cost to her professionally. It altered her trajectory. And that’s precisely why the marriage contract matters: it’s not just romantic symbolism, it’s a mutual promise - a commitment to protect one another when life demands such sacrifices. Now, if there are no children involved, no careers disrupted, no relocations, no significant compromises – then yes, I can understand the argument that marriage may feel redundant, just a ceremonial gesture, a piece of paper. In such cases, the stakes are lower and the consequences fewer. The truth is, we both rolled the dice - and we won. No smugness, no gloating - just quiet gratitude. If for whatever reason, either of us had to roll the dice again, we had to do it all over again, I’m confident the outcome would be similar. That said, I’m not blind to the fact that it could just as easily have gone another way. Luck, timing, and character all play their part. And of course, your argument that choosing well is simply a matter of foresight, as if we all possess a crystal ball is valid. The suggestion that one can always predict outcomes with absolute certainty obviously falls flat - especially in the context of a thread where options being discussed include bar girls and partners far removed from our own socio-economic, educational, or cultural world. In many of these scenarios, the odds of misalignment are higher. Many of those relationships are, by their nature, built on shaky foundations - differences in values, life goals, or expectations. And it’s no surprise when they fail. Yet, even then, gems can be found among the gravel. Not everyone outside your familiar world is a risk - and not everyone within it is a guarantee. Marriage, like any meaningful commitment, involves a leap of faith. But it also demands discernment, self-awareness, and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths about oneself and one's choices. When it fails, it’s not always because marriage is broken - it’s often because the people in it were either mismatched, misguided, or unprepared. -

Yes, I live in Thailand, and yes, I've experienced power outages and internet outages. But everyone knows those are just temporary glitches. Small localized outages. Just the other day, my internet went out. It was fine on my phone, but the 5G in my condo wouldn't work. I finally just turned off the computer and went to lay around the pool. By the time I got back, everything was working again. One time in Phuket, the power was out for the better part of a day. But they told everyone that was going to happen, in advance. They were doing some work on the electricity in the area. In America, that kind of thing doesn't happen, but for a natural disaster or a grid failure. Hurricanes, tornados, floods. All understandable. But sometimes, it's more widespread and can mean trouble. Anyone remember the 1977 blackouts on the East Coast? Lightning hit a power station somewhere and a cascading effect shut down a large section of the power grid. It was a mess. -

Assassination Cult at it again , Its become a hunting ground for the sick !
Interesting! I bet they/ them was counting on Tapper/ Bash to fact check Trump live during the Biden/ Trump debate! And I bet Tapper/ Bash had to bite their tongues holding back ! Just before the debate Karoline Leavitt went on Cnn and complained to another Cnn host how bias Tapper had been in the past when referring to Trump being called Hitler.The host got so upset she cut Leavitt off mid way through the interview and took it to a commercial break. It was a beautiful set up by the Trump team ,it tied Tapper/ Bash’s hands. Leavitt shamed them into being fair! -
