What ? Politicians not doing what their political agenda promised prior to gaining power - bet that doe not happen in other countries ever

No fool like an old fool

Follow the money and make them sell their houses to finish it

Shows the inadequacies in Thailand if a one legged thief can get away with theft. Still the id line up should be easy

...and if being one turns me into the hulk in the picture I'll never be one.

OK, so what could be the outcome of this 'potential' change ? Are you potentially going to be arrested at the airport as you have not paid tax due in a certain year ? Now THAT would be worrying issue, having to present your tax declaration when leaving the country. Checking you passport - seeing you have a retirement stamp and then them checking with the tax department before banning you from leaving !

OK, makes sense, you earn abroad and do not pay tax there you pay it here. BUT, what about savings - savings are not a generated income. How on earth would thailand separate the two in bank transfers ? How can Thailand know that I am sending £1,000 from my savings or from any income ? If Thailand is only suggesting 'wages' paid into a Thai account are taxable, then I think maybe we can all agree with them.

They need a more better definition of income - savings are NOT income. If I had worked all my life and had saved and had a million quid and paid UK full tax, I find it hard to believe that Thailand would be trying to tax it a 2nd time.

So why didn't he bite the sausage ?

I agree, concrete the sides and have a nice jaunty little bridge over the top

Oh, we have a yakuza problem now too then

Here's a novel idea, how about the Thai army actually getting off their bums and go in and rescue them - actually using all the arms and armaments that have been grated during the last Junta.

And the idiotic government want to tax the ones that do come. Maybe they fear a new tax and wont come.

as opposed to stay in war zone ? Go figure !

3 year driving ban and 5 years taxi ban suits me

More likely trudging through a 100 countries to a French beach, quick ride on a dingy and a luxury UK hotel !

You just know that she has lived to the ripe old age of 84 without the use of it and will now get it and be dead in 2 months from dodgy Thai electrician

Tracey's are waiting for the call !

Is it a step up or down from Kaz tourists ?

I think the world bank knows more about Thailands outlook and finances than Thailand !

Boy that's one faulty GPS !

Not really sure a two state solution is the key when both parties pray to books that pretty much say both are the only true religion, only they are the true people of god and kill the infidel !!! I pretty much expect Israel to go in and get some of its people back and then tactical nuke Gaza - the international community are so caught up in other wars and economic issues there would not be any comebacks. If Israel does not destroy Gaza and parts of the country I will be very surprised

Anyone know what happens if you arrive with NO cash and your have no smart phone ? I get the feeling you'll be in immigration for passport check 20 minutes and 7 hours in the 'rip off the traveller' line, because they will need atleast 10-15 kiosks

Somebody leave the phone charger on ?
