Thank you for explaining that.

You're probably right, Tamada. I couldn't see anything on SCB about CRS and I lacked the patience to tackle some new security measure on the 'phone. A question for the Webinar on how 'serious'' that deadline date is to be taken? It occurs to me it's about a month away from New Year and when you migh...

Horses for courses, Barney. I just try to do things for myself IF I can, but I no longer climb on the house roof! Thus, I'm still of the opinion that one SHOULD be able to obtain a TIN quickly at the Udon Revenue Office, armed with the necessary paperwork. No mention of a 'power of attorney' on the ...

Thanks Stuart for your time in providing that information. My preparation duplicates much of the information you've given, particularly that from the HMRC website, which I found very helpful. I don't know how the Thai office will do the calculations regarding the different tax years between UK and T...

I don't know if this CRS form requires you to enter a TIN number or not. I haven't got a form or number yet. I'm very aware that one can receive different information from one day to another, from office to office, officer to officer. Immigration offices are examples of that. And so with the Udon Re...

It sounds as if I'm in a similar situation to yourself, Barney, at least as far as no complicating assets. Just my own pensions' income to consider, so I think I can handle the submission of the tax return by myself. I've already drafted a return and will, hopefully, have UK written confirmation of ...

If this helps to clarify, I received this email below from Expat Tax. TAX ALERT: Thai Bank Makes CRS/FATCA Request Carl Turner - Expat Tax Thailand ​ You ​ EXPAT TAX MADE SIMPLE Dear Brian, As part of our Tax Alert Service, we’re committed to keeping you informed of important developments. Today, we...

It's hardly a major inconvenience and I mention this only to highlight a possible system fault. I'm often asked to sign in with my username and password, in spite of ticking the 'remember me' box. Any other members too? Could it have something to do with recent tech difficulties? Or possibly somethi...

Seems ok today.

Still a problem.

I thought so, but the error message appeared as I was searching posts. It seems the system is slow and that I'm asked to login every time, as if the information isn't being retained. I've no idea if this post will be accepted, as the error appeared again as I attempted a reply. i.e the Udon Map pos...

Still a problem with me. Sometimes told to login, but throws me back to the error message. Perhaps 10 attempts to access the forum today and this is the first time I was successful.

I certainly found it an interesting read, if long and heavy at times. I'm not sure my brain took it all in, but I could see my wife and self in many of the situations. I wonder what an interview with my wife might have brought out, as we have a 36 year age gap. I had to smile when one wife complaine...

Admitted to drinking, which might have had more serious results,but escaped a drunk driving charge?

Just an observation here. Who knows whether all of this will come into existence, or not? But I see essentially two agencies involved – Thai Immigration and the Tax Office, or whatever the latter’s correct title is. There’s bound to be some overlapping (e.g. presumably the latter will need to know f...

the long rough road to Vang Vieng now has a better option, the Tollway/Expressway that's been open for over 2 years. Up to Vang Vieng in a bit over an hour, driving 120kph.. Drove that road quite recently and it was a joy. Very quiet, even though it was a holiday. BUT, be warned. Absolutely no faci...

Perhaps I should be asking guidance to the nearest opticians?

Southwest corner of Tai @ Second, next to the tattoo shop. Sorry Tamada, but Tai @ Second? My suggestion is a place on Sai- Utit Rd, the road connecting Phosi Rd and Prajaksilapakom, which has the access to the Central Bus Station and would lead you through the front doors of Central, if you carrie...

You may care to try this place, Chris. They've helped me out with my lawnmower a couple oi times, also Briggs and Stratton(or copy!). Some English spoken. Upstairs, there are dozens of mowers, but seems to have stock of many spares. A fair-sized outlet, it's immediately on the left corner as you com...
