Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Yes, I think that is my understanding. The only grey area for me is if I were to transfer the remaining 30K in year 2, together with year 2's 50K. I am assuming the 30K from year 1 would be taxable in year 2. That's the way I see it. In any event, it seems that it will be somewhat of a nightmare to...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

I've read a bunch and am still a bit baffled. Here's portion of the text of the US agreement: 1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 21 (Government Service), pensions and other similar remuneration paid to a resident of a Contracting State in consideration of past employment shall be...

Re: Thailand plans to decriminalize cannabis

Chaos on the way. It will be impossible to enforce this; especially since so many parties including producers, processors, distributors and retailers have invested so much money in this venture. My wife has several clients who have made massive investments in the production of cannabis. They seem to...

Re: The Beer Thread 2

I'm happy to report that my local CJ here in Korat has completely run out of Tawandang IPA in spite of the fact that they received a massive shipment of Carabao and Tawandang beers just before the real Songkran (as opposed to Ung Ing's Songkran). I'm hoping this means that their beer is a success an...

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts

There were two such fires in Cha Am this week. One, across from the ugly recycling shop lasted two days. The other, not far and in a field being cleared, was still going as we left this morning.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

I went to Australia last year in May and did the subsequent 90 Day report online. I just looked at the online receipt. I did the report, online, on July 11th last year.

Has the rule changed since then?

JIT Pochana Restaurant Permanently Closed

I guess I wasn't surprised to see that the Cha Am branch of JIT Pochana (จิตรโภชนา) is permanently closed. It opened about four years ago, after the original restaurant on the site (Alpaca?) closed. I suspect it was a bit upscale for the Cha Am crowd. We only went a few times; but always enjoyed the...

I agree. They keep well in the freezer and taste great when heated up a bit.

Cha Am Beach Jammed Today

We scheduled our monthly Cha Am visit to avoid Songkran, hoping for the usual peaceful stay. We figured this weekend wouldn't be too busy. Boy, were we wrong. Although our condo is, as usual, mostly empty, the beach at noon today was jammed with cars parked all the way down to the south end. Ruamjit...

I did it online last week. It was approved after a couple of days. The TM-47 that it produced has a space for the arrival card number, but it is blank. That wasn't asked for in the online form. . .

Re: The Beer Thread 2

I also enjoy the beer Lao IPA. I've always assumed that it is actually a hoppy lager rather than a true ale. On the other hand, Tawandang seems to claim (looking at the can) that their IPA is a true ale. That doesn't really matter, though, as long as you find one you like at a reasonable price. My c...
