Likely a whiny boomer. I’d sooner see young backpackers enjoying themselves than miserable old so n sos. 🙂

Is that why the Dutch are so tall, stretching their necks above the waves? 😛

Gawd. Boomer perchance? When it rains, people get wet. When you pump billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, what happens?

Indeed. They will more than likely F it all up and we will all end up paying for the error handsomely.

Tripe. Britain was one of the, VERY FEW, net contributors. Do you know what that means? Any perceived degradation to infrastructure is a direct consequence of the 400B spent on paying the populace during COVID (though remoaners will conveniently overlook that) while the economy is bouncing back. How's things in Germany etc? Dopey Starmer at the helm would not make a difference during or after COVID. Just shift monies around. Not a Tory, but please don't talk about Labour! Try again.

Locals worried about impending tax issues and bunging too much money around? People will go for the plastic battery things but you'll always have the flash Merc buyers despite the excessive tax on luxury motors... suppose that makes them even more appealing for the 'look at me' crowd.

Good points in theory but what has any of that got to do with non immigrants? Essentially people that have no voting rights nor cannot own land etc etc. If Thailand wants to play big brother by grabbing its visitors’ cash, it should grow up and stop taking its cake and eating it.

Deserves it. Sorry, but with all the bs that goes on Thailand (yes, little one, you can be robbed in Thailand usually by Thais), he then goes on to question the safety of other countries. What an utter donkey.

That is being 'green'. Rose tinted glasses is more thinking everything is awesome and not entertaining or accepting any negativity on Thais or Thailand even when it is staring them in the face. Thaier than Thai types.

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Recovers from Covid Former?

It sucks. While the bigwig with their ridiculous income and tax dodging needs to be collared, all this will likely achieve is to just ensnare and complicate the life of the average, law-abiding joe that has already paid their just dues and just wants to live an easier life in peace. Over the last 70 years or so, post-2020 is the absolute worst time to be alive imo. Everything has become more complicated, expensive and just downright sh.itty, and the Thai government seems to be pushing through too much too quickly without any thought, rather like an erratic child on meth.

To scare them and hopefully get rid of them. As you know, a certain faction of the Thai populace does not really care for us wrinkly foreigners.

Because the dinosaurs in government are stupid, incompetent, unempathetic and most of all xenophobic. i.e. we tolerate you for your money but if you stay too long we’ll shaft you. All these recent grandiose schemes and this n that visa to attract foreign investment blah blah and they pull this one. Donkeys.

It’s got that greasy prik from Dubai written all over it.

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance Well that’s a fine advertisement for attracting retirees as they’ve been trying to do. What a bunch of donkeys. Get this bogus government out!

Who cares! Why the F don't they grow up and enjoy their country and life? Russia, a sad state of affairs, is so stuck up its own arssse, and to what end? An utterly depressing place ruled by bent, ego-fuelled little despots and depressives. Move on, give the world a break FFS!

I'm sure you're trying to do good, John, and possibly recommended for older folk, but I will not be having this or any other covid vaccine again... issues with previous jabs. Garbage. Had Delta and survived so will rely on my immune system.

That's horrendous. Couldn't fathom that. All the best.

They won’t listen. While my country has nice, polite people that often find their way here, it also produces scummy bogun types. I’m all for turning them around or better still send them to Oz. Oh wait! 😜

I’ll give him some free advice; please move along and take your overlord and bum party with you.

Yuck. No thanks. Go to Malaysia instead, please.

PM of a corrupt government? He needs to be heading his people not the current bunch of upstarts, if they would even let him lol. Spose it's all about keeping his face out there. 🙂

Perhaps they are going for walks, massage, pool and gym when you are. But if you are confirming that they sit there and drink all day by you watching them all day, then you are more boring than them, surely? Personally couldn't do Pattaya and that life, or mop hospital floors all day for that matter lol, but hey each to their own right.

No, because Putin values his life and country too much. It's all hot air. Anyone thinking he and China are the good guys and it's all on the evil West need their head read. Look at how they treat their populace for crying out loud! Duh.

Way to go, Taxland.
