"Chief Weerakit Manarojkit convened an urgent meeting yesterday" More meetings and more assaults, nothing will ever change as long as the police don't do their job.

A Meeting but no member from Cambodia, Laos or Myanmar where much of the burning takes place and affects Thailand.

Any imported foods that Thais don't eat or drink carry high import duties. For instance, a bottle of scotch whiskey costs less than a mediocre bottle of wine, as generally Thais don't drink wine but are big whiskey drinkers, nor do many eat baked beans..If you want to eat and drink western style in Thailand, expect to pay high prices.

Foreigners purchasing units in the additional 26% will have no voting rights, ensuring they can only use the properties for personal residence Sounds like this is from the Hotel lobby, cant rent out and can only use for your personal use.

Thailand already has dual taxation agreements with 60 countries. These agreements differ in their scope and specifics. How Thai Tax authorities can deal with this remains to be seen.

Except that Thailand joined the CRS last year (common Reporting Standard)

Interview with her here

"However, assessing the tax on each individually boxed item is a daunting task for customs officers, opening the need to devise effective methods of tax collection on low-cost goods" Like many other Ideas, are they competent to implement it?

They have been going to do this for 20 years. I'm not holding my breath. So easy to resolve. Do as Ive seen elsewhere. All Taxis must carry a notice on their dashboards saying "NO METER NO CHARGE" with a phone number to report the driver.

If it was booked through booking.com they would know what was paid and by whom. If it wasn't why would they pay. Dont believe this story.

Nothing wrong with booking.com. The hotel exists and has a room price starting at 1000 baht per night. something wrong with this story, says he booked 59 nights for 13,000 baht

Read earlier posts. The hotel is available on Booking.com at 1000 baht per night, yet this Guy says he paid 229 baht per night. Something wrong with this story.

I first thought this was some sort of scam but the accommodation exists on Booking.com so he must have seen what he was getting when he booked. At 13,000 baht for 59 days that's 229 baht per night or $6.20 or 4.95 GBP. You have to ask just what he was expecting for this price, 5 star hotel? The booking.com website shows the cheapest room at 1000 baht per night. That would be 59,000 for 59 nights. Seems something wrong with this story. I can't believe they discounted it to 13,000 for a long stay.

Thailand is party to the CRS, they made their first report last year

The US is not a party to the CRS
