List of exemptions: Thai tax on 535.841 THB comes to 32.876 THB. Payable wage tax on AOW: 1.821 euros = 63.917 THB. The result is 63.917 – 32.876 = -30.041.

Something insignificant happened to me this morning while shopping here in the Netherlands. Unfortunately here, I would rather be there in my beloved Thailand. That insignificant incident reminded me of a nice adventure during my last stay in Thailand.

You know Paul, who has often made great contributions to this series. In daily life he assists his wife Bussaya in her work with the tours of Gidsbussaya.nl.

Thai tax office also corrupt? (reader submission)
Today I went to the tax office in Jomtien to arrange my payment. I knew exactly how much I had to pay, but the employee claimed it had to be much higher. When he asked me how much I wanted to pay, I was done. How many others have to go through this? Shouldn't an official complaint be filed about this?
