Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Yea, yea, yea, you wish. You should know Israel by now, they'll get em............They should surrender really, but if they want to hide amongst the civilians they will still be eliminated. This won't please you but tough eh Terrorist who captured IDF soldier Naama Levy was killed in a drone strike, army reveals The news of Muhammad Abu Aseed's death in Gaza was kept classified until the return of the five female soldiers kidnapped along with Levy on Oct. 7, 2023. An Israeli drone strike in September eliminated the Palestinian terrorist who kidnapped Israel Defense Forces field observer Naama Levy during the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 cross-border massacre, the military revealed on Thursday. The news of Muhammad Abu Aseed’s death in Gaza was kept classified until the return of the five female soldiers who were taken hostage alongside Levy and held captive for almost 500 days. The footage of Levy’s abduction from the IDF’s Nahal Oz base was widely shared on social media. https://www.jns.org/terrorist-who-captured-idf-soldier-naama-levy-was-killed-in-a-drone-strike-army-reveals/ -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
Earlier this week, I visited my local district tax office to request filing a tax return for the 2024 tax year (Thai year 2567). I explained that I am a retired resident of Thailand and that I transferred some of my overseas income into my Thai bank account last year, which is the income I would like to report. However, the total amount I transferred in 2024 was below the minimum income threshold for tax liability, so no tax is due. The tax officer informed me that filing a return is now required if you reside in Thailand for more than 180 days during the calendar year, even if no tax is owed. While I was already aware of this new requirement, her mention of it confirmed that the district office is up-to-date on the changes to personal income tax reporting for residents, which we all know began as of last year. She further explained that filing, even without any tax due, is also beneficial in case I am questioned in the future. Having a copy of my tax return will serve as evidence of compliance and help avoid possible penalties for failing to file in the future in case any questions arise. It would also help to avoid possible problems with visa extensions in case the Immigration Department ever starts requiring copies of tax return filings in the future to obtain a visa extension on the basis of retirement. The first step was to cancel my old Thai tax ID number (which was issued about 15 years ago) and update it to match the Thai ID number on my new Thai pink ID card. This required filling out a form, submitting a few photocopies of passport, visa, and Thai pink ID card, and took about 20 minutes to complete. Next, she prepared my tax return for me based on the figure I provided to her for the amount I transferred into my Thai account in 2024. The officer recommended also submitting bank statements showing all of my incoming transfers for the calendar year. Although attaching the bank statements isn't compulsory, she said it could help avoid potential audits and save me time in the future. After finishing preparing the tax return, I then went to the bank to obtain the necessary statements for the months that I had incoming transfers. I now plan to return to the tax office tomorrow to file the return, along with the newly obtained supporting bank statements. Since the funds I transferred in are from overseas income that has already been taxed, I asked if I could claim the tax already paid if, for example, I exceed the tax-free threshold with additional transfers in 2025. She confirmed that I could, as long as I provide documentation from the overseas income source showing the income and the amount of tax already withheld. She also directed me to the relevant section on the PND 90 personal income tax form, which I believe is page 4, section 11, paragraph 13 where one can enter in the amount of tax credits and/or tax withheld overseas to apply to one's Thai tax liability in Thailand. This would help reduce or potentially eliminate any Thai income tax liability on overseas income transferred into Thailand which has already been taxed. I'm still undecided about whether I'll transfer in more money this year than I did last year, which would require me to include documentation for my overseas income source if I do. I'll make a decision as the year progresses, but at least I now know they seem to honor the double taxation treaties. There's also a section on the tax form it seems (as noted above) where I can claim a credit for any taxes paid and withheld overseas. It's at least reassuring to know that, if it comes to that, I can potentially claim credit for any overseas income tax already paid. -

Visiting Vietnam
As said , Hanoi is great, especially the old quarter area which still has architecture from several European countries. This area has wonderful old style accommodation some vey cheap, some a bit more expensive, and great food / big variety, reasonable prices. I've been to this area many times on days off from giving uni lectures (all English, great students, intelligent, analytical, all speak very advanced English). Haven't done t it but I've read before that some agencies / hotels / restaurants offer excellent whole day / half day guided walking tour of the old quarter, guides speaks English. Enjoy. -

Testing an 8000W water heater on an ordinary 16A power outlet?
If you run your heater on one of the lower power settings (3,500W) you'll be good. Your 16A breaker at 36A will trip in about 30 seconds. You could hook it up temporarily with a 32A breaker on the 2.5mm2 for a couple of minutes.
