Australian Aged Pension
I believe it changed on the 1st July 2024 to 30%. See below. Now, I know what you would all like to think. You are an Australian citizen, so not a foreign tax resident, but they are two completely different things. No, the below is not just for the super rich Chinese investing in Australia, or Paul Hogan. In the future, the law will be for every Aussie deriving an income within Australia, who has been outside Australia for more than 183 days. I agree. I would rather be taxed for small in Thailand as a tax resident, than taxed for 30% in Australia, as a non resident. Interesting times ahead. Note below, from $0. No tax free threshold for non residents of Australia for tax purposes. Foreign resident tax rates 2020 to 2025 Foreign resident tax rates for 2019–20 to 2024–25. Foreign resident tax rates 2024–25 Taxable income Tax on this income 0 – $135,000 30c for each $1 $135,001 – $190,000 $40,500 plus 37c for each $1 over $135,000 $190,001 and over $60,850 plus 45c for each $1 over $190, -

Brace for a downpour: 42 provinces in for a wet and wild ride
That is not because of local rains. I live on the Mekong and rains have been mild this year. Not the case for China and they have opened there dams flooding towns down stream in Thailand. The Mekong is huge at the moment and another meter higher will cause lots of pain for many towns. -

Rising Homelessness in the US Linked to Migrant Influx and Economic Pressures
No I didn’t miss it, rather it doesn’t help jippy out of the hole dug he himself in his post I was responding to: So now that it’s clear jippy can’t deliver a single immigrant being provided accommodation in a five star hotel, let’s deal with your half truths regarding The Roosevelt ‘Hotel’. It’s no longer a hotel, it was a business fatality of the COVID recession in the hotel business and closed: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/travel/article/roosevelt-hotel-new-york-closing-trnd NYC have since rented the closed former hotel as emergency temporary accommodation for migrants. Wrt your statement: “The broader and more important point is that illegal immigrants are being housed in, shall we say 'luxury', accommodation at taxpayer expense. While American homeless and poor are left on the street and in shelters.” NY is a bit more civilized about the matter: “It is our moral and legal obligation to provide shelter to anyone who needs it,” the city’s Department of Social Services said in a statement. “As such, we have utilized, and will continue to utilize, every tool at our disposal to meet the needs of every family and individual who comes to us seeking shelter.” https://fortune.com/2023/05/15/roosevelt-hotel-being-converted-to-shelters-in-the-face-of-an-expected-wave-of-asylum-seekers/ -

Baht's Biggest Surge Since 1998 Poses Risk to Tourism And Exports
I do miss the days of 40-42 baht to the dollar back in the late 90's early 2000s. Life was great then. Now with the talk of being taxed in Thailand if you reside greater than 180 days that won't affect me much but maybe others. I hadn't planned to stay in Thailand for more than six months anyway but now will stay only 5 months or so. -

Correct. Times are changing. It's not rocket science to see the direction all of this is going. I look at it this way, basically, an Interpol, but for taxation of the masses. No where to run, no where to hide, from the tax man. -

Dry herb vape recommendation anyone?
Congratulations on your new acquisition. What you are tasting on the first two pulls is the real flavor of the cannabis. Something you may not have experienced before from smoking. Also, you will notice that different cannabis strains often have a very different flavor. Some taste a lot like pine. Others have a more fruity flavor. After the second pull it starts to taste a bit cooked though from being heated so high. At 190c you need to smoke it like a bong, not like a joint. So you need to do some long, 6-7 second pulls to get a good hit. If you want to do short puffs like a joint, then kick the temperature up to 210c, but be prepared for a harsher flavor. Also, I always open the sliding side vent on the vape all the way for better airflow. Also, even if you do a very long and hard pull on the first hit at 190c, you normally won't see any smoke come out of your mouth until the second or third hit. At 210c you might see smoke on the first hit. But the amount of vape smoke isn't important. If you are vaping at 190c, and doing long pulls, you should still get good THC on each inhale, even if you don't see much smoke. I pack my capsules with about 0.2 grams to avoid packing them too tight. I used to use about 0.25 grams, but it was more work to get a hit. I don't measure the weight though. I know now by how packed it feels and that it's about 0.2 grams that I'm putting in there. I don't vape the capsules based on session time, but based on hits. I used to do about 6 pulls before dumping the capsule out. But after the first 4 pulls the THC gets much weaker and the taste really declines. So now I just do 4 good pulls and dump it. I mainly use flower that has 25%+ THC. So 4 pulls out of a 0.2% gram loaded capsule gets me high for about 2 hours. Then I usually do a second one after about 90 minutes to keep the buzz going. If I use some lower grade flower with around 12-15% THC, then I normally only feel it for about an hour. If you are only feeling it for about 20 minutes then either the flower you are using is not very potent or you are not taking in enough vape. You should feel it pretty strong for at least an hour from 4 good pulls, even if the THC content of the flower isn't very high. Or maybe you have a very high tolerance. Anyway, 2 capsules is equal to about a joint, or maybe a bit less. So think of it like that. If you normally smoke at least a full joint to get high, then you should probably be vaping about two capsules. -

Elderly Australian Caught Stealing Vitamin C in Chonburi
I kind of feel bad for him. I hope we were given a bit of his background or what led to him being in this state. I'm not in Thailand atm or I would have just bought it for him. I don't have grandparents anymore and I miss them so much.🥺 Maybe that man just really needed help. -

I agree. That's the current state of affairs. Nothing Thailand can do, but what about Australia? When the proposed changes are passed, interesting for when the pension is coming to an Australian who is a non resident for taxation purposes, and can be easily proven so. You see, yourself, and many others, only see Thailand wanting to tax residents for tax purposes, but many don't want to even contemplate Australia wanting to tax non residents for tax purposes. That's only for guys like Paul Hogan, right? No issue before, with the "domicile" law, but that's going to change, for sure. What pensioners want, when the proposed changes are passed, is to remain a tax resident of Australia, for the tax free threshold, and I have no idea how, when they are living full time in Thailand, but to also escape Thailand taxation, despite living in Thailand more than 180 days a year. Tough gig to pull off, particularly for pensioners, as the payer is also the taxer, which is Centerlink and the ATO.
