  1. You are indeed correct. Out of interest, can this be applied for at the port of exit, or does one need to go to immigration, get a ticket, and go through the whole tedious process where 4/5 people check the same documents before giving you the stamp?
  2. True, cheaper is not necessarily easier per se 👍. Now for Thai citizenship, it definitely is easier if married (especially for foreign women), but that's neither here nor there with regards to this thread.
  3. No, I mean that the requirements for getting permanent residency is easier when one is married. I am not talking about becoming a Thai citizen (which incidentally is easier when married too.) I am responding to Mike Lister who is conflating two separate legal statuses that can be held in Thailand: Permanent Residency and Thai Citizenship. They are not the same thing at all.
  4. If you are a permanent resident, you never have to apply for annual extensions, reentry permits or do 90 day reporting etc. You can't, however, vote or buy land. The process is different if you are married vs single e.g. if you are single you need to have an income of 80,000 THB per month whereas if you are married it is only 30,000. The exact requirements are updated every few years.
  5. Well, they don't want to tackle gambling. They want a piece of the pie - legal gambling = increase tax revenue. The people in Thailand will continue to gamble whether it's legal or not. However, legal gambling can be a cash cow for the government and "safer" for gamblers etc.
  6. Incorrect - you can become a permanent resident and not be Thai citizen. The requirements are different depending on whether you are married or not.
  7. If you willing participate in this incarnation of the senate, you are complicit. Nobody forced these senators to take the role, but they all know and understand how the senate has unbalanced power. Not voting "yes" in a false show of neutrality does not wash your hands of the injustice committed by the senate (and its masters).
  8. "The proceeds were used to purchase kratom juice and cannabis for consumption." The obligatory "kratom and cannabis bash" slipped into the caption. So we're not expected to believe that the proceeds were used for anything else like food or clothes or petrol or booze or literally dozens of expenses that we all have (criminals included)?? Absolute trash reporting from KhaoSod.
  9. VAT is paid at point of sale (retail), but the wholesalers and/or retailers pay import duties when they take possession of goods.
  10. Well, one would assume that the current stock on the shelves in your local shop were purchased weeks or months prior, so can't expect the retailers to just take a loss for your benefit. However, it would be interesting to see by how much prices go down in 7/11 et al next month. I will be surprised if they go down at all.
  11. They aren't even talking about getting rid of it, just amending it to be more appropriately used.
  12. So what's the point of including it in the article then? It's just smeering the guy's name more for no reason. (No, I don't condone his behaviour or think hes' an angel)
  13. There was supposed to be a race in 2015, but that never happened due to legislation banning street racing in Bangkok (was never going to anyway, the whole "plan" was wishful thinking from the start) The dream: https://www.eurosport.com/formula-1/thailand-now-aiming-for-f1-race-in-2015_sto3539527/story.shtml The reality: http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/story/109939.html
  14. Who Is Really in Charge In Thailand? Voldemort 🤫
