Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
Interesting ... in that list of items of items of assessable income exempt for the purpose of Income tax calculation I note item-17 : (17) Income prescribed for exemption by Ministerial regulations. I believe this is very relevant. I am asking myself ... perhaps this includes LTR-Wealthy Pensioner/Wealthy Global Citizen assessable income exempt from tax in accordance with Royal Decree-743. (ie it can be considered a Ministerial regulation ? ) And hence I speculate if that is so, it should not be included for income tax calculation and thus not included on a tax form - where I speculate further that no tax return is thus needed if such is the only income of the holder of the LTR-WP/WGC. Further, I wonder if income covered by a specific Double Tax Agreement (DTA) (for example such as a pension from Canada where the Thai-Canadian DTA states it is to only be taxed in Canada), does that then also come under "17" (ministerial regulations)? ... as I suspect ? (albeit don't know) that there is a Thai ministerial regulation acknowledging the existence of a DTA and as such covered under item-17. If so, this may also be relevant to some (not all) other country DTA (although EVERY person should check the DTA of the source country (with Thailand) of their income to assess this aspect) - as it could mean no Thai tax return needed (if it is the only income source). Further, given Paw-161/162 are ministerial documents (and perhaps considered regulations) then they too for income before 1-Jan-2024 brought into Thailand shall be exempt for the purpose of income tax calculation (and also not included on a Thai tax return). Which could mean no tax return needed. Clearly I am speculating a lot, but this item-17 may be the answer to some of my puzzling. I am now just as curious to see what the Thai 2024 English tax return form will state , but I am also speculating (again) that there will be minimal change from the 2023 tax return form and that my speculation could have some validity. The above is me speculating - this is NOT, I repeat NOT, intended to give anyone advice as to whether they should or should not file a tax return. Hopefully others will chime in and correct my speculations. . -

Lazada, Why so much stuff "Out of Stock"
It might not be the case in this instance with the items you were looking at, but often an item is listed as out of stock because if the vendor removes the article from Lazada, then all of the (hopefully positive) reviews are lost. Vendors will often keep products listed, even if not presently available / out of stock, while they are waiting for new stock from their supplier. That way they retain the positive reviews. -

Yesterday I ate at Fuji after a long time of not eating there. Who gets the 10%? Waiters?
It depends on the restaurant (company) calling the shots. Some are honest and share the "service charge" and some are not. I suspect many don't share. If you want to tip for good service, put the money in the service person's hand, not in the receipt bin. In Thailand, that means you are giving the money to your server. -

Dispute with landlord re moving out/ accused of "breach of lease/contract"
This is an awkward situation. It sounds like there is a discrepancy between what is in the contract and what was explained to you when you first signed the contract. That makes it a bit of a "cluster". He said, she said! I can't see them pursuing you in court for breach of contract of the written contract and seeking rental money through until the end of the contract in May. Similarly, it sounds like you're going to have a fight on your hands to get the deposit back for - in their minds - breaching the contract by leaving early. Presumably the amount of the deposit is not of a sufficient amount to make it worthwhile to retain a layer. As such, it's all rather awkward. -

Thailand airports boost biometrics for faster service times
I thought that had been dropped already as the machines weren't up to scratch, or is it back on again? https://www.able2travel.com/news/new-airport-scanners-fail-100ml-liquid-limit-returns-across-eu/ It's for a different system, not immigration. You would be able to get through the rest of the departures process including boarding without showing boarding pass or passport again as it would be done with facial recognition. It was due to be implemented in November and December but I've never heard of it actually being switched on yet. I noticed the hardware in place in October. https://www.tatnews.org/2024/11/aot-rolls-out-biometric-system-to-enhance-passenger-experience-across-six-airports/ -

Swift transfer of Japanese Yen into Wise
Yes, I already spoke to the sending bank. They looked on the system and told me that the system is suggesting JP Morgan Chase as the intermediary bank, but the sending bank told me that they don't have the option to choose the sending bank and also said that if Barclays could be used as the intermediary bank, then there would be possibly no extra charge, but again, it is not up to the sending bank. They said that they don't choose the intermediary bank and that I would need to speak to Wise. I've already sent Wise a support email to ask the question, but it can be days before you even get a response from them. You used to be able to just call and get phone support, but that's finished now. Nearly impossible to reach them other than by sending an email and then waiting for days. -

Having a bad day.
Your welcome. Prescription glasses in Thailand are really very expensive. But with Zenni it's the complete opposite and you could afford to buy multiple pairs and keep them in different rooms in your house if you like. -

Giving Up Weed
Not quite. Club (Italian made) are definitely the thinnest and don't even have gum on them. The company is about 150 years old. Then you have Rizla (French made), which have also been making papers for almost 250 years. Their papers are thinner than ZZ, but a bit thicker than Club. Big Bambu Pure Hemp (from Spain) are really nice too, not as thin as ZZ, but not made from wood pulp either, and so no harshness at all. Beautiful design artwork as well, featuring the smiling, winking Spaniard with his Spanish hat. The iconic design-work is almost 150 years old now.
