Russian couple accused of dining and dashing at many Phuket restaurants
The Russians have had a visa free policy for over a year. So, how is the fairly recently changed visa free 60 days for other countries got anything to do with two Russians. More utter nonsense. anything that happens now is linked to the 60 day visa waiver. I'm surprised the recent pollution problems in Bangkok hasn't been blamed on the 60 days visa waiver by the Thais. -

Midair Collision Near Reagan National Sends Plane into Potomac River
Some have suggested the helicopter may have been distracted by an outbound flight but the outbound flight was well in the helicopter's rear and traveling away by that time. But, there was an equally distant and closing incoming flight, with its headlights pointing right at the helicopter. The much smaller Canadian plane that collided was approaching from the heli's upper left. So yes, maybe the heli was distracted by another plane. Who looks to the upper left when a big bright plane is bearing down from straight ahead. Here is a beautiful simulation (already) where you can see this perspective for yourself in 3D. What do you think? -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
That's an interesting link, as Expat Tax Thailand has a FAQ page with answers to some of the questions asked on AseanNow. I found it informative - and kudos to Expat Tax for their efforts. However there are a small number of mistakes in the answers in their FAQ (in regards to details of LTR visas and taxation) that I have believe are wrong (likely because new clarifications have been determined). Here are some questions/answers take from the Expat Tax page: Example-1: Q: Are LTR visas exempt by Royal decree? Expat Tax: There are two types of LTR visas which are exempt from foreign-sourced income with a Royal Decree: Wealthy Global Citizen and Wealthy Pensioner My observation: Actually there are three types and not just two types. Expat Tax forgot to mention "Work from Thailand Professional" is also exempt tax from foreign sourced income remitted to Thailand. - - - Example-2: Q: If I convert my current retirement visa to an LTR visa, do I still need to make a tax return? Expat Tax: Yes you do, it is a different form and depending on the Visa you may have no tax liability. My observation: This is correct but it is misleading. It would have been better to note in the Expat Tax answer applies to the year of the visa conversion. In subsequent years, if on an LTR-WP, LTR-WGC, or LTR-WFTP there is no tax on income remitted to Thailand and further if that the only income there is no need to file a Thai tax return. The no need to file a Thai tax return was recently confirmed by an AseanNow user when calling the Thai tax help line phone number. This becomes important as well in a further misleading Expat Tax answer. - - - Example-3 : Q: Can you please confirm that Wealthy Pensioner LTR Visa holders are exempt from tax on foreign source income remitted to Thailand Expat Tax: Yes, the Wealthy Pensioner LTR is exempt from foreign sourced income if remitted the following tax year. My observation: This is correct but it is misleading. It would have been better to note the Expat Tax answer applies to the year of the visa application. Once one has had the LTR visa for more than one year, the 'following tax year' observation becomes a mute point, as tax returns are always submitted for tax on the previous year. Interpreting the Royal Decree 743 to state foreign income remitted in the year of earning being taxable is incorrect. - - - - - Example-4 : Is retirement pension considered income? Does having a 10-year LTR (Long Term Resident) Wealthy Pensioner waive the tax requirement? I receive US military retirement ( ~$4000), VA Disablity (~$4,000), and US Social Security Disablity (~$2,000) monthly. Expat Tax: The Wealthy pensioner VISA has a Royal Decree exemption from foreign sourced income. You still have to file by its a different form you have to complete, which has just been added to the revenue's website. The good news is that US government pensions and social security are not taxable in Thailand. My observation: This is only partly correct. LTR_WP do not have to file a Thai tax return if foreign source remitted income is their only source of income in Thailand. A phone call by an AseanNow user to the Thai tax help line confirmed that LTR Wealth Pensioners do not have to file a Thai tax return for foreign remitted income. Further the only Thai tax form that has a field for LTR visa holders is the LTR High Skilled Professional. The only Thai tax form is for LTR-HSKP is here in Thai language: https://www.rd.go.th/65971.html (year 2024 tax forms - Form Por.Ngor.Dor.95). Further thoughts: In light of relatively recent clarifications, I believe that Expat Tax Thailand should update their question and answer section based on such more recent clarifications. I am not tax advisor,. Please confirm such one's self. Bbut I am pretty certain any who take the time to check with the Thailand Revenue Department Help Line will confirm what I noted in regards to LTR visa. -

Can anyone tell me a better culinary combo than this?
I guess it depends on which regional version of larb you're referring to. CM larb contains makwen spice and is very different from Issan larb. I don't know the real name for the makwen spice but it looks a lot like black peppercorns and I think is grown in mountainous areas. We first bought some dried wild makwen still on the branches while visiting a hill tribe many years ago. -

A death sentence for some
No, it was naïve of Trump to speedball thoughts and questions regarding possible ways to deal with an potential pandemic in a room full of lying deceitful domocrat activist gutter press snakes. still to this day people like yourself still spread the lie, knowing full well its a lie. -

How safe is the retirement visa as a strategy to live in Thailand permanently?
I'm not surprised. As is (was in my experience) Samui's refusal to issue a 90 day non o, necessitating my use of a facilitator instead 🙂- 1
