"Tests Now Mandatory"

"The Department of Land Transport (DLT) has proposed a draft regulation"

So which one is it? Are tests now mandatory, or is it just a proposal?

A few children have died from strangulation after their helmets caught on something. Conclusion: "Parents, don't let your children wear helmets."

"something very serious developing for those who use Wise"

Because a single person got their account shut for some reason we don't know about? Settle down.

Have you been living under a rock?

There are many Vietnamese living in Suphanburi. Chinese nationalists in the hills near Mae Hong Song. The government doesn't bother them if they keep their heads down. 

While a Vietnam War vet could be Vietnamese, I doubt that's the case here.

What are you on about? The video is from after the landing, when the police came to pick him up.

And then everyone stood up and clapped?

"Thai Singer Died from Blood and Fungal Infections, Not from Neck Massage"

"Authorities are investigating to determine whether the massages directly contributed to her death."

So which one is it? Why would the authorities investigate a possible connection if it's already been established that there is none?

"including a substantial 72,000 kroner fine (220K baht)"

72.000 Danish kroner is equivalent to 350.000 baht.

"Prostitution – a new trend sweeping the nation"

Where is the part where she smuggled herself out of jail? Or was that just clickbait?

"Person Arrested at Location for Activity"

This is the quality level of this "reporting".

"My early confession saved me from death row"

I'm sure the book is filled to the brim with similar fantasies.

suggest you read the Thai evenue definition of a Thai Tax Resident.  I read the version of the Thai Examiner and in that version she specifically says foreigners but any foreigner who stays in Thai for 180 days or more is considered by the Thai government to be a "TAX RESIDENT"

Your claim was in regard to their proposal to tax all foreign income, regardless if it's remitted or not. The text in question is about the already implemented tax on remitted, assessable income. Apples and oranges.

You made it seem like she specifically mentioned foreigners being the target for this proposed, new taxation of all foreign income, which is not the case.

If anyone doesn't believe that the Thai govt plans to have foreign residents pay taxes, then suggest you read the interview of 15 July, 2024 of Ms. Kulaya Tantitemit, the Thai Revenue Departmenbt head.  In that interview she says they will begin this taxation of remitted funds first of all during 2024 for remitted funds and then they are "discussing" the implementation of the worldside income taxation of "foreigners" who become tax residents in Thailand.  I realize that the govt has now changed, not sure if she will still be the head of the Revenuel Dept but it sure looks like expats are going to be targets for taxation depending of course on DTA's and assessable income.  Just saying - best of luck to all

"they are "discussing" the implementation of the worldside income taxation of "foreigners" who become tax residents in Thailand."

Where in her statement does she refer to foreigners? In the version I'm reading, she strictly refers to tax residents of Thailand, making no mention of specifically foreigners being the target, which you seem to imply.

Couldn't agree more. I come here to read stuff related to Thailand, not 20 topics bashing Trump or Harris.
