Sending food back to the kitchen?
I recall the Reuben. I love DELI food. i NEVER send it back to the chef, either. Last time I was at Hymie's, must have been..... The Summer of 1969. Great food at Hymie's. I once lived near Merion, so Hymie's was, thankfully, close by. No Way you will get this food in Thailand. Better just have a Panang-Gai, instead. Eat Chinese food in China. Thai food in Thailand. Deli food in NYC, or in Philly.... How much would it cost to fly one of these Reubens over here, do you think? -

Covid-19 destroyed millions of peoples lives with little or zero consequence whatsoever
To be honest, I don't know where the virus started. The lab leak theory or the wet market are both possible sources. -

And that's the whole point. You have no idea about what is REALLY going on in your own country because you believe everything that Hillary Clinton tells you. You will find out very shortly.- 1

S/E Asian Thai Consulates going to eVisa online system effective Tuesday Oct 8th
My life has been fairly "enjoyable and stable" in Thailand, for many years - but I don't pretend to know the future. I use the same permitted-stay as you do, and I hope the rules do not change. The point is to be sure you can take "enjoyable and stable" with you, if things change unexpectedly. I have no fixed-assets in Thailand I could not afford to lose - is Rule #1. I have the wherewithal to move to another country if something goes wrong here. I keep-tabs on the immigration rules in a few other "2nd Choice" countries, just in case. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
You become who you associate with. If you don't like being around rich people you are probably not rich or will ever be. One of the cardinal rules of financial success for most people is to not associate with the down and out. Surround youself with success and the energy of that eventually penetrates you. A lot of it is mindset. Nobody really knows why or how it works, but it does. It works in reverse also. If you're around the down and out it eventually drags you down. There are rare exceptions where where being in the opposite circumstance makes people stronger, but for the majority the above rule applies. -

Trump's Claim of Gaza Visit Draws Scrutiny Amid Factual Discrepancies
Gaza is not in Israel. You are confused. More to the point, he talked about Gaza being like Monico. Is Israel like Monico? -

Trump's Claim of Gaza Visit Draws Scrutiny Amid Factual Discrepancies
You are correct. Except Hillary shaded the truth, whereas Trump made something up completely. And Trump lies every day. You know he does, but you don't care. Because of that cult thing. -

Words sentences that are offensive
So many words for nationalities are mere truncations of the original (chink, pakki, Eyetie, Spic, Pork, Assie) which causes gasps of horror amongst today's precious petals. Yet the 'Brit' Awards persist in being applauded That's offensive -

Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
In my oppinion we could all just calm down and relax a bit. NOTHING has changed so far. Here just a few lines, If you want to read the full text: https://immo-th.com/taxation-of-income-for-foreigners/ The Topic: Taxation of Foreign Income As is well known and the subject of heated debate, the government plans to introduce new rules (beginning in 2024) for the taxation of income earned by foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 180 days and remitted to Thai accounts. The current lack of information has led to frustration and uncertainty among foreign retirees. Today, we aim to address the situation especially for pensioners, as taxation for other foreigners—such as employees, digital nomads, dividend recipients, long-term visa holders, and investors with local income—is already clearly regulated. While the official announcement was made in 2023, there is still no clear guidance from the authorities on how taxpayers should be classified, how much tax should be due or how double taxation agreements shall be taken into account (status October 2024). This delay is largely due to the fact that the relevant government agencies are still reviewing the details and procedures. ... ----- Rumors and Misinformation In recent months, numerous articles, YouTube videos, and even TV reports in Thailand and abroad have spread misinformation, adding to the confusion. ... How much tax will I need to pay as a pensioner in Thailand if we are required to file tax returns in the future? Scenario 1: Your monthly pension is deposited into your account in your home country, where it may be subject to local tax regulations. If you withdraw funds from this account using your home country credit card at an ATM in Thailand or transfer them online to your Thai account, specifying that they are for “living expenses,” no taxes will be owed under current regulations. Tax treaties between Thailand and other countries also apply here and should be reviewed. In case of inquiries from Thai authorities, you can demonstrate that your funds are “old money” earned before January 1, 2024, by providing bank statements, tax returns, inheritance documents, etc., translated into English and certified by your embassy. Though this process requires effort, it will be acceptable to Thai authorities. However, if this approach is not feasible, or less advantageous from a tax perspective, you will need to declare your pension income in your tax return and pay taxes in the following year, assuming you have a TIN. Scenario 2 will provide a more detailed example of how tax burdens might be calculated. Scenario 2: You receive your pension directly into your bank account in Thailand. The annual pension amount is converted into Thai Baht using a pension certificate and certified by your embassy. You will use Thai tax return form number 91, which is in Thai script and typically requires assistance to complete. After entering your annual income (in this case, your pension), you first deduct allowable expenses, just like in your home country’s tax return process. Example Calculation Based on Euros for Taxation in Thailand: The pensioner receives a net income of €1,100 per month, which is approximately 42,000 THB/month, or around 504,000 THB/year. ..... In summary, a foreign taxpayer with a monthly pension income of €1,100, or €13,200 per year (equivalent to 504,000 THB), would pay approximately 200 Thai Baht in taxes. Enjoy life, relax and take it easy.
