Same here... BS cold calls... all my junk e-mails get filtered into Junk anyway. The amusing part about the point of not wanting to give Decathalon an e-mail address is that I have never had an e-mail from them other than an online receipt and delivery notification for an online purchase. -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
I have been trying to SUMMARIZE a lot of this tax stuff in my own mind (and I may have some details right and some wrong). This thread has me looking again and again at the wording of paw.161 and paw.162. As I noted before (where this quote is my wording) : What I paid attention to this time when I read read 161/162 was Paw.161 and 162 (translations) clearly indicate they are relevant to assessable income. Of course I am reading translations, but assuming the translations are correct, then as many have ALREADY noted on this thread, it is important to be able to assess the difference between 'assessable income' and 'not assessable income'. I find that difference is not as easy as i would like to be able to determine, but quite possibly that is my pessimistic assessment. AND thus from what I can interpret/read Paw.161/162 together notes pre-1-Jan-2024 income (and presumably savings from before 1-Jan-2024) is not-assessable. Further, it infers that even if that pre-1-Jan-2024 income/savings is brought into Thailand in future years, it is still not assessable income. My understanding is that being not-assessable nominally means it not need to be reported on an income tax return , and hence part of the criteria for deciding if an income tax return is required or not required. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE ON THIS THREAD but its buried deep in a massive number of other posts. My speculation is those (Thailand tax residents) who live off of income/savings ALREADY in Thailand from before 1-Jan-2024 have no impact from Paw.161/162 and if they have no other Thailand income then they may not to have to file a Thai tax return. That's my opinion - NOT a tax recommendation. For example, in my case, most money brought into Thailand when I was a non-resident. Further, my speculation is that those (Thailand tax residents) who bring pre-1-Jan-2024 assessable income into Thailand, ... since that is now categorized as not-assessable based on Paw.161/162, and hence is not nominally to be included in a Thai tax return. Hence if those bring in pre-1-Jan-2024 income into Thailand and IF they have no other Thailand income then they may not to have to file a Thai tax return. Again that's my opinion - NOT a tax recommendation. Hence I speculate (further) that those who might be affected the most are those who bring into Thailand post-31-Dec-2023 assessable income, where such income is still assessable (ie not made not-assessable by a VERY SPECIFIC and relevant DTA for said person). Then if their foreign assessable income is above a certain Thai threshold amount, these individuals need to very carefully monitor the current situation, as they could be on the hook to file a Thai tax return. Again that's my opinion - NOT a tax recommendation. ie. this could mainly affect those who want to now bring money into Thailand (or did so in tax year 2024) and that income is considered assessable. In many respects - from what I can read it is really important to read what is assessable income and what is not assessable income. Confusion (in my mind) can come about where "assessable tax exempt income" is considered by some to be "not-assessable" income - and THAT difference may be important when it comes to assessing if a Thai tax return needed or not needed (dependent on the situation). And I do NOT know what is correct there. Of course most people's situations are different (different incomes, different DTAs) so that adds a layer of complexity. These are interesting times - and my hope this is quickly clarified in coming months (however I won't hold my breath waiting for any clarification). . -

Last, best fish & chips in Chiang Mai?
I would stick to using the term Fish and Chip shop if I were you. Otherwise, people may be confused regarding what you are actually looking for.... usually chippie slang, disapproving. a. : a woman who has multiple sexual partners : a woman who is sexually promiscuous. b. : a woman who engages in sex acts and especially sexual intercourse in exchange for pay : a woman who is a sex worker. -

British Tourist Found Dead & Naked off Phuket Beach After Mysterious Encounter
Perhaps a suicide and the second tourist was trying to talk him out of it? If he was attacked and forcibly drowned, presumably there would be some evidence. Hopefully this second chap comes forward. -

Healthcare Insurance
This is why I would like to see an option whereby long term residents (i.e. those on Non-Imm Retirement / Marriage Visas can 'pay into' the National Healthcare system to ensure continued treatment. IMO - at the moment this is a huge gap in any retirement plan. -

New Update Phuket Immigration Retirement extension
Thanks for the update, it always helps to know what the latest "requirements" are, although I have to say that my visit in September to renew my retirement extension went very smoothly and the younger staff were more helpful than the older ones have ever been! Although I didn't have the Google map, they accepted my hand drawn map and also the pic of my apartment block, even though I didn't have my actual apartment number on it!! Next time may well be different. What I'm really trying to say is that they were much more lenient/flexible than they have ever been in the past, so let's hope that continues. -

Healthcare Insurance
Who can access that if you are incapacitated or in a coma ??? The most common answer to this is a flippant response of 'just let me die' - which side steps the intricacies of carrying ID and Insurance cover. This raises the question of 'proof' - i.e. if a person is covered (or not) and the 'hospital' is somewhat mercenary in its approach to treatment, how does an incapacitated person prove they have cover ? This highlights the importance of carrying an Insurance card, or having close friends (and / or family) who can advice the hospitals of payment information. -

Biden touts record Obamacare signups, urges Congress to extend subsidies
Nearly 24 million consumers have picked an Affordable Care Act health insurance plan for 2025, breaking last year's record enrollment, even though consumers have another week to sign up for coverage this year, Biden administration officials announced Wednesday. The number of signups this year surpassed last year's record of 21.4 million people. And consumers have through Jan. 15 to select a health insurance plan from the federal marketplace, Healthcare.gov, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2025/01/08/health-insurance-costs-could-skyrocket/77510005007/ That's almost double of what it was during the Trump administration which first worked to eliminate Obamacare, and then worked to undermine it.
