Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
First of all, nothing that you read on this forum about taxes is guaranteed since basically it comes down to the Thai Revenue Department to come out with the final tax forms for 2024 - then we will see how they interpret any "assessable" income based on a Double Taxation Agreement if they have one with your country. I take it that you are an American citizen and thus will have to pay taxes on any income but it would be to your advantage if you read the DTA with Thailand which is available just by googling that or going to the Thai Revenue Department website in ENGLISH to see what they do say about DTA's about assessable income etc. That is a start but as you have been able to see from this forum, they are a multitude fo questions still and even if you go to a local tax agent (a farang) such as "expattaxthailand.com" they have webinars on pension income taxation, the DTA with various countries, and other webinars - if oneis already on a subject you are interested in, you can view a video and they give a 15-min free consultation. If however you have a lot of questions and a varied income situation, it probably could not be done in the 15 minutes. This tax agent too is looking to get paid for helping farangs fill out the tax forms early next calendar year - (January 1- 31 March 2025) for this year's taxes so like I say if you have a diverse income the only real way to know what to do is to wait until the revenue department puts out the new forms in Nov or Dec, the sooner the better for folks so one will begin to understand just what will be needed. You can see all the charts that many people have searched and found, plus Mile Lister has done an unbelievable job of putting it all together MANY times and along with a couple of other volunteers, (I learned all about my taxes from these guys or where to find that information that I needed to do my share) remember, it will be up to the individual to file the tax forms, as of now there is no plan that anyone has heard of that the Revenue Dept will be out here looking for particular individuals. The revenue website can also provide you with the charts on the assessable incomes, deductions, expemptions or whatever. The only visa providing any exemption to date is the Long Term Resident (LTR) visa. If you spend 180 days in a calendar year 1 Jan-31 Dec) then you are a "Tax Resident" and if you have assessable income (dfefined by the revenue dept) then you are required to get a Thai tax number and file for taxes. I am income taxation ignorant to say the least but I do understand the DTA , US civil sevice pension, US social security and if you have a question regarding them, then I feel confident I can explain to you but anything other than that, many will provide you with a GUESS on exactly how the revenue department will decide. Remember that the Revenue Dept is a Thai organization, their laws are written in Thai and something could easily be missed in the translation to ENGLISH. GOOD Luck and just about every tax possiblity has been guessed at over the past year or so. Good Luck.- 1

Pattaya Hotel Guest Locks Herself in Bathroom, Arrested After 30-Minute Standoff
Sounds like a normal farang / Thai household? Screaming, tantrums, refusing to leave...30 minutes of negotiations a bit light on though. Can go on for days 🤕 -

British National Killed in Sattahip Motorcycle Accident
You can see the red hub with spokes broken off still between the fork stanchions and a bit of the rim in the road. He must have hit whatever at quite a speed to smash the wheel like that. -

Met Police Officers Reinstated After Appeal Over Bianca Williams Stop and Search Incident
The challenging bit remains, why were the pair stopped, and handcuffed, particularly when she was with a three month old baby, when there was no evidence or trace of drugs or weapons, and no real prospect of violence. These two may be “dedicated, hard-working, and much respected officers” whose reputations have been “ruined”. It does seem rather remarkable that they seemed to have smelt cannabis, when this couple drove past them in their car? Maybe their olfactory senses need recalibration. I am sure that the initial "stop" was not triggered by seeing a young, obviously successful and relatively affluent black couple in a smart car? -

Car recommendations
I test drove a BYD Sealion and was impressed. i am looking for a car for the family - 2 adults and 2 small kids. Also would be nice to fit the grandparents when they visit from Europe but again this I know is not always. we drive to school/work every day and then shopping or into Bangkok city center at weekends. we drive to pattaya and rayong for getaways and Koh Chang etc. can you recommend any suitable cars? Not more than a Million and I am open to electric if it’s a good option but I will want to sell it on when we leave Thailand. Will be putting down around 200K and financing the rest. THANKS! -

Thailand’s Bold Move: Decriminalising Sex Work Sparks National Debate
They were prevented from getting the free handouts over Covid because they didn’t have a contracted job. However, doesn’t stop them paying into the national pension plan as the article mentions, everyone can do it, they have offices in every city. Also, it’s not an issue to register and pay tax here, is it? I’m not too sure what benefits paying tax would bring. -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
Yeah, its all disinformation. Well, as the article points out, the government doesnt like it, so if your dear Leader Kamala is in power, you can intensify your efforts to destroy that pesky First Amendment. -
