Change in the tax law does target expats living in Thailand and extends reporting obligations
The way that I would expect this to work is that you compute total Thai taxes due on your gross income, you are then allowed to deduct from that total any taxes already suffered, leaving a net amount payable in Thailand. Please note that if the taxes paid elsewhere exceed the Thai taxes then no refund is due!

So just like every other country really.

Banknotes from 10 years ago still accepted?
Coins have a longer lifespan than notes and so are cheaper. Coins tend to be used for smaller denominations because coins are less secure than notes.

I love Cambodia....
Agreed, but it is good to have this heads-up so that those ageing teenagers among us who don't need the extra hassle can avoid this airline until they fix the glitch.

Tourist turmoil: Thailand grapples with 10,000 unexpected Israeli guests amid conflict aftermath
If Thailand is unable to send aircraft to repatriate its citizens stranded in Israel then maybe it can send submarines instead?

Uk Inheritance tax (IHT) on supporting my girlfriend.
It does not count as a PET if the person making it retains any interest. If she is still living in the house then she must pay a "commercial rent" in order for HMRC to accept that she does not retain an interest in the property.

Uk Inheritance tax (IHT) on supporting my girlfriend.
If your "family support" payments come from your income, not from capital, then these are normally exempt. Do you have a link for the exclusion of gifts made to a non-UK domiciled person from the 7 year exemption?

Taxi Driver Arrested for Stealing Passenger’s Phone and Transferring Almost a Million Baht
Could it be that there is a camera in the cab which recorded the customer entering his PIN to unlock his phone? I always prefer to use fingerprint unlocking, but it always seems to me that whenever I am somewhere where I do not want to be watched whilst unlocking my phone is when Android annoyingly decides that the "PIN is required for additional security"!
