Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Yeah. I'm getting my threads mixed up, but I recently posted something akin to the above, namely, income after a certain amount of time on the vine, and after being subject to home country taxation, is no longer considered income, but savings. As such, it should no longer be considered as income for Thai taxation purposes. TRD, I guess, could disagree. However, I think with Sherring's input, you should be comfortable not declaring as assessable income monies from past years, now comfortably labelled as savings. And could make a logical argument, in the 1% case you're called in to TRD for an audit. -

Russian Tourist Fined for Flashy Christmas Lights on Car in Pattaya
Exactly. Anything that gives the women and ladyboys an excuse to take selfies with (such as Christmas trees) is bound to be a hit. -

Who lives on 20k a month ?
Think there is several issued need addressing here. 1. 20k would not meet visa requirements, so unless you have 800k in the bank - which seems unlikely if you are claiming poverty - then you would need to allow say 1200 baht a month for yearly agent visa. 2, Housing - whilst the house may be free water, electric, gas, housing tax and internet isn't. You use a fan an not air con then I dare say you could live on 2000 baht housing expenses. Utilities can be kept low, but you would need to put at least 500 baht away a month for repairs to the house, 3. Health expenses - that's a hard one, as any health insurance would blow your budget. I have a friend across the road dying of cancer, but its slow, maybe has a year. His money if he had 20,000 may go on pain killers and not food at the end ! You fall off a bike or get sick then you are going to be laughed at on here for raising a go fund me page ! 4. Inflation - that 20K will be worth 19,700 next year and 19,300 the year after. in 3 years the 20k is less than 19k. This is why old UK pensioners from the UK living here on the fixed pension are getting worse off each year. This is the reason that atleast 2000 a month of that income should be left as savings 5. Food & travel - Allowing for the house expenses and visa, you'd have over 15,000 - or 500 baht a day to live on. Personally I think that is quite doable. easy for 350 baht on food and 150 on 3 beers a day. 6. You may well lose some money if the thieving government if they implement income from abroad. Is it doable yes, certainly, would i recommend it - Hell no. -

Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
You don't seem to understand that "lame duck" refers to a (p)resident who lost an election (or in this case dropped out), and has limited power/influence in the remaining months in office before the transition. The term does not refer to the incoming President. DUH, indeed. -

Are we really better than the Russians, Indians, Arabs and Chinese in the eyes of Thais?
I can accept the British are more urbane than Australians, we are more inclined to call a spade a spade. OTOH, Britain's football yobbos put all other nations in the shade. I can't recall any Australian fans getting banned from a sporting event, anywhere. https://www.brusselstimes.com/982397/british-authorities-bar-1600-violent-football-fans-from-travelling-to-germany -
