Must be thai style revolution, just like thai style democracy

To be converted into a Nana Plaza type of building?

Substandard repairs or maintenance in Thailand??? Not plausible, must be fake news.

Looks about same as brain connections of the zoning planners. So about right.

Of democracy? Of intelligent people?

Kind of strange to post story like this without telling whether the guy has gone thru passport control to Finland or boarded a flight from Helsinki airport to somewhere. For sure Finnish authorities can tell that right away.

Did someone expect something different?

Seems these guys don't understand anything about market segmentation and it's benefits. Just imagine Las Vegas or Macau trying to do the same, diluting their unique positioning and start competing with family resorts. No way. Loose loose for all. Pattaya should just focus on the core capabilities and enhance consumer understanding and awareness of those and let other places to fight about families. TAT should tell them so, not to screw up country level segmentation and location focus of different places.

Does it make sense to try to import met?? I thought plenty of local supply

Better luck looking fortunes behind the temple shed. Look for recently moved soil and dig.

Looks similar to what my ex gf's grandma was describing as ghost she was seeing in a haunted house at times.

So officially proven that no corrupt practises exist at highest levels of RTP. All just one big misunderstanding, just as expected. Let the envelopes continue to change hands.

The problem for those in ministry is that no matter how many tourist come and how much they spend, money won't come directly to ministry staff. I bet the main reason for the whole 300 baht thingy was/is that tourism ministry and TAT tried to find a way to get income directly to feed their families. Developing tourism is just a cover story, and content of which actually kept changing starting from tourist insurance story.

In theory better, however I have had 2 separate cases where the in-mold brass thread has cracked leading to leak. Probably would not have had problem with plastic-only one. I will not use brass ones any more due to bad experiences

As if it would matter what people need in this nor other than areas of life. What matters is what those in power want or need.

I'm sure someone will buy lottery ticket 3303 based on this event. And either blame it if no win, or firmly believe the win was due to this event.

Misleading click bait headline. This will require law change via parliamentary process, not a revenue dept decision, as current law clearly stipulates only income brought in is taxable. Change for this year was different as it did not require law change

Yes most if not all use CIF (cost, insurance and freight included) price as basis for levied duties.

AliExpress do this for some euro countries already, vat included in price and they settle with tax aurhorities n countries. If this gets real in Thailand, I would expect they just switch on that feature for thai delivery orders in their platform and also activate it in lazada which they own. 7% won't make big difference as long as the operation is automated and smooth, without delays or handling fees

Not sure if every country, but it is customary to include shopping costs to the import duty/tax base in developed countries

... But I understand you are not bored because of that lifestyle difference, justiI like me I live very differently here vs home country. However I am all but bored. I am not from US but lived in San Diego before for few years and while there my lifestyle was different from home as well, simply due to environment. But all but bored But I understood OP feels bored to death with his Pattaya lifestyle so wondering where the limitations come that lead to his boring life instead of doing something that is not boring, e.g doing same things as back home if those are not boring. Or possibly sometä things different. At least I would stop doing things which bore me and do something I enjoy.

Just out of curiosity, do you find doing the things you listed in Australia less boring? If you live differently there, why not try duplicate the things you do there where applicable. Or is there some mental limitations so that in Pattaya/Thailand can only spend time doing the (boring) things you listed?

In the old tax system that was used until 3 or 4 years ago, my tax was also 7500. When the new system was introduced, nominal tax changed to around 300, with 90% discount for first two years. Now around the 300. Enjoy while it lasts. Certain that it will go up in future.

Turbo EV - Porsche must have run out of imagination giving names for their EV...would have expected EV to have been given a name that is relevant for EV instead of something for internal combustion engine cars. Go figure

Local electrician done a bit tuning for more power and forgot to wind insulation tape over twist-joined cables?
