Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
You mean dividends paid by German firms on German stock? Because if it's dividends on US stocks, the W-8BEN form doesn't require any tax certificate. It only requires a Thai TIN. Maybe the easiest way is to pay the full 30% tax on dividends other than US ones. -

Making Trump orange is funny but put a shade on Harris is racist. Oh the hypocrisy. -

How stupidity is an existential threat to America
I can drive a car with a manual gearbox. I can't drive a scooter with one. I admire people who can drive D9 bulldozers, or interpret a X'ray or CAT scan. I am not a party animal, and I don't understand such events where everyone is talking at the top of their voices to make themselves heard. Usually on the most banal of topics. IMO you can either keep pricking the balloons of stupid people, or give up on them. -

Kamala Harris Sees Significant Polling Surge During Democratic National Convention
The issues would be a direct line to a win for Trump. Having an ultra left wing tag team will prove devastating to the American way of life. -

Whole House Water Filtration .. Anyone w/ Experience/Advice?
What a great house build website. Making my way through it after just coming across it now. It came up after I done a search for water system. I came across a really in depth water installation but I cant remember if it was on here or on another page. I think it might have been a German guy that has a water installation company here in Thailand who carried out for the homeowner. Have you seen the one im talking about, Maybe it was Ruben the guy you talk about that installed it? How much do you think the prices have risen to do a build similar to what you completed on your website with all the inflation since then? You got it done just in time. Where did you initial plans and ambitions come from for the build? -

To DTV or not to DTV - that is the question.
Health insurance is not required for either. I stay based on annual extensions based on retirement and maintain 800k+ baht in a bank account. Have to annually extend (1900 baht), buy a re-entry permit (1000 baht for 1, 3,800 baht for multiple-entry), and report address every period of time I'm here for 90 consecutive days. I don't consider the requirements oppressive at all....and primarily consider the 800k baht requirement as a safety measure (in case needed for a medical or other emergency). I don't know much about the new DTV visa but understand it's good for 5 years, you can only stay here a maximum of 180 days per entry (you can extend the 180-day period for another 180 days, once per year for an extension fee of unknown amount....maybe 1,900 baht?) and is multi-entry (which I presumes you don't have to pay for re-entry permits). Cost is 10,000 baht up front. For those who really aren't put out to keep 800k baht in a bank account here, an extension based on retirement (if you're at least 50 years old) seems to be fine. If one is under 50, I'd think the DTV might be the best way to stay here for most of (or all?) of every year. -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
If the Thai-Lao crossings continue to allow 2 visa exempt land border crossings per year then that would be the one remaining advantage. Flight to Kuala Lumpur is probably cheaper and definitely faster but airport immigration is crap shoot whereas land crossing from Laos was viewed as "safe" thing to keep in back pocket if you needed it. I guess the thing to keep a close eye on is if that is changing with transition to 60 days visa exempt stamp. Will land crossings become more like airports in terms of scrutiny? -
