Thailand Earns Over ฿2 Billion From Phuket Sandbox Scheme Since July
bradiston replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
It's probably not worth commenting, but (2,000,000,000/42,000)/97 days = 490 THB per day, per person. Considering what the costs of setting up the sandbox scheme must have been, this looks like a massive loss maker. All that meat and no gravy. Let's start again. -
An old chestnut I guess, but looking for latest updates/suggestions. There is a minibus from behind Num Chai to Chantaburi that runs twice a day, but too late on to get to Laem Ngop. So I went looking for a bus to Rayong, assuming onward connections, but no luck there either unless you want to stand by Sukhumvit Road in hope. Maybe somebody knows different. Any suggestions? If I have to stay the night en route, I might as well get a taxi instead.

Why are the news media interviewing her and not the police? Looks like the Asean Now lynch mob have turned up in strength, pitchforks and hoes ready to go. -

Unbelievable. Judge and jury in the Asean now kangaroo court. -
Seems, like many countries, Thailand's going to be faced with increasingly devastating floods over the coming years. I know they have a system of dams, runoffs, canals and waterways, but a lot of these were constructed decades ago I think. Any ideas what approach might be adopted now? Can they expand or upgrade the current infrastructure, or does it need a complete rethink? I'm clueless.

Depending on how you had your old phone set up, if you have Google or Microsoft (or Facebook etc) accounts, just log into them on your new phone. They'll do the rest, contacts, apps, messages etc etc. Some apps though, eg Line, need to be manually backed up before transfer. You can do this from within the app. Line is the only one I know that requires this. It warns you before you set up on the new phone.

This tax seems to be just a sales tax masquerading as CGT. It's payable on property sales at the selling price, no allowances, no deductions for costs. Coming from the UK, I was expecting to deduct costruction costs and land purchase costs from the selling price in order to calculate the capital gain. But no! The selling price is taxed in its entirety at 6%. How stupid to frame this as a CGT. It's nothing of the sort.

Thailand tipped to be removed from UK’s ‘red list’
bradiston replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Could this be a factor? From https://www.ttrweekly.com/site/2021/09/europes-tourism-recovery-falls-short/ "Countries that fared worst were those that rely more on long haul tourism, such as France and Italy and those that imposed the most onerous and volatile travel restrictions, such as the UK, which languished at the bottom of the list achieving just 14.3% of 2019 levels." -
Need links to sources. "This applies" - what applies? So any Vax program outside Europe and USA isn't recognised? That would appear to exclude billions of people. Asia, Far East, SE Asia, Middle East, South America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. And all HGV drivers, I guess.
