Songkran Success: Tourist Surge Boosts Thai Economy
A disastrously idiot success , what is successful about hundreds of deaths and cars burning and being driven into crowds, is a few more tourists worth all this misery and death that come after, every year. Its just senseless to teach little kids to throw water at bikes putting the kid and the biker in danger. I stay far away from it

US Expat in Thailand Faces 10 Years for Threatening US Senator
Ban cell phones and only use school computers, Just young kids and this is happening in NZ, in 12 year old classes, one kid opened a porn site on a laptop and stripped off and danced while the other kids watched and laughed. The kid that stripped was a great young man and only stripped to his undies it was him having a joke the other kids were all running around dancing, the boy was expelled , My son was his friend and I knew his dad and family for years they were just young kids joking. My son said kids can watch porn on their cell phones at school smoke dope and vape and now even the young kids are doing this, it's happening allover the world , the world is crazy at present.

How come they don't understand that week-long water throwing is actually bad for business?
The bars were always packed in Pattaya and jontiem during songcran I would never go near the place again during songkran, idiots everywhere with pickups full of iced water and water cannons knocking people off bikes and shooting people in the face and eyes with powerful water cannons. Dangerous madness.

Anyone here using Western union for foreign transfers?
Money transfers are getting harder to set up, company we use required proof of where the money came from which required sending documents to company, this is because of laundering laws.

Thai Restaurant Industry Faces Crisis as Purchases Plummet by 40%
That is a no Brainer, lower prices and work for nothing, I own a restaurant and I'm closing from selling food as you can not make meals for 50 Bhat and survive, add to that the problem Grab and the others are ruining restaurants delivering meals from anywhere, street stalls , backyard kitchens , the high season was a failure, falung were buying their own food at macro, most of my friends with restaurants are loosing money you can't make money even on drinks you would have to sell 500 bottles of beer a day to survive. Covid started this and the motorbike delivery service sprang up and thrived, and is now expanding, about 200 deliveries go past my place a day, and no customers going into restaurants. I just got back from BK and the hotels are empty, the INDRA Pratunam restaurants are closed. Hardly any Indian tourists in the streets and hardly any Chinese, its bad. You cant sell a pork chop for 50 Bhat or a decent burger under 150. Food is not cheap to purchase unless you want to eat rice and bamboo every day, and even then you can only pay the power and internet, if you pay rent your gone down the toilet.

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
My Thai wife just bought a house with money transferred from sale of overseas property that was legally half hers, I have the tax papers saying it was exempt from capital gain because of how long we owned it. I went with her to change the Chanut and put it in her name only, they demanded my passport and a copy of the marriage certificate in Thai and I had to sign some papers, I think this was to do with Tax and where she got the money but they would not say when asked. Legally the money is free from tax as it is not earnings and the NZ govt has signed off on that, I wonder what may happen, NZ has a double tax agreement so should be ok, any comments welcome.

Thailand's Prisons Overflow as Overcrowding Hits Alarming Level
Despite a fall in drug convictions over the past three years, 73% of inmates remain imprisoned for drug-related offences, with new drug laws potentially worsening the issue. Making something legal will create a fall in drug convictions. I dont want to blame dope being legal but its proven to be very unhealthy. The strength of the dope is not monitored, and very strong THC can turn users into paranoid idiots and all sorts of other reactions, as can alcohol. I always said wait and see what happens it will all be bad and I think its gone that way. Some one was already growing acres off it b4 the law changed ,it was never about medical use it was about money all along. This country has turned into a nut house, worse than I have ever seen since coming here in 2003. Shortening sentences for minor crimes is a good idea. Other than that Mr. bright, dope grower can build private prisons just like the USA and convict people for nothing crimes to fill them up and make MONEY < MONEY and more MONEY> This is a dangerous country controlled by, you guessed it , MONEY Try fining motorists without helmets and speeding and out of control noisy mufflers, get cops on the road, start looking at murder as suicides, which creates murderers, . Now you can slag me for staying here, but despite all this would you live in the USA or Canada and even Aussie now, NZ food prices are out of control, DR,s are fighting each other over covid comments , it's a sh---t house world but I would rather keep a low profile and be here than in Israel or many other stuffed up countries.
