@Keith ********

A joke, you bookend.

@Chuck *********

Same meaning as an American “giving shit” to someone for something they’ve said or done. It’s not literal.

@Michael ************

Right? At least use a PM.

@Joseph ********

I buried a small bag of cash once. Wish I hadn’t been drunk…., I hope SOMEone found it.

@John *********

lol, right? Like asking if they check for illegal substances. Though it COULD just be simple curiosity, I suppose.

@Garrett **********

Evidently, apologizing for a perceived offense IS who he is. Don’t instruct people to be you.

It takes a really decent person to say this, whatever it was. And leads me to believe that whatever it was, it was either unintentional or unthinking, and not a reflection of the person you really are. You have a conscience. I take my hat off to you. Respect.

@John *********

I got that (and thought I said so, lol). It was actually explained better yesterday by someone else. “Income” for Thailand means any money you bring into Thailand, whether it’s considered income or non-taxable savings in your home country or not (still subject to tax treaty details). Maybe Thailand should change the word to “incoming,” lol.Thanks!

@Michael ******

Haha, I’ll never criticize for being over-careful with any tax authority. I might have something funny to say if you are so overcareful that you only go outside wearing a helmet for fear of crashing planes, but not for this.

@Michael ******

I won’t file at all, as I will have only tax-exempt (by tax treaty) pensions from which I will bring money into Thailand. Savings/investments, and their interest/dividend incomes are no issue at all if they are not a part of any monies brought in. It will be quite easy for me if anything comes up in the future. I need only show my sources and amounts of income. Unless what I bring in exceeds those sources (showing them that I have other sources that may not be exempt) no problem.
