Anutin Axes Italian-Thai Contracts After Fatal Crane Accidents
There will be a contract, is Anutin entitled to cancel this contract? I doubt it. While the mess is being cleaned up it may be that ItalThai can enforce the contact through the courts so all this could be already agreed political manouvers.

Thai Airways Plots Comeback with 150-Jet Fleet by 2033
I think they are still parked up at Suvarnabhumi. I doubt they have had any maintenance so will have to parted there somewhere. Probably still on the books as an asset so cannot be done yet without writing it down to scrap value.

Thailand Eyes Tax Boost for Low Season Tourism Revival
The most common complaint from my friends and others who visit is the price of wine, a couple here for 2 weeks will likely drink 12 to 24 bottles. They generally have to drink entry level wine as it is just too expensive to order a really nice wine. Even those that can afford it balk at paying so much tax.

Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
This happened to me at Suvarabhumi several years ago becasue my connecting flight was late, I had already been through immigration, it is the airline that keeps your passport, the airline accompanied me to the hotel with passport for check-in. It is standard procedure. I managed to get on the next flight 24 hours later, the problem is your bag is airside. I made a fuss about wearing the same clothes for 40 hours and they gave me a voucher for a pair of shorts and casual shirt from the hotel shop.

The 30+30+30 leasing contacts in Phuket is over
Phuket property market: Look out beeeeelowwwww Except that it never happens no matter how many truths such as this are published. There are too many new mugs arriving every week who believe the 10-15% returns on investment. And unlike elsewhere in the world Thailand does not care where the money comes from, no proof of origin required. Excellent for money laundering. There are thousnds of new villas under construction on the west coast costing 10 million baht to build and asking 40 million baht. According to agents they are selling, people are living in them. The bubble may take a while to burst.

The Power of Zinc: An Essential Mineral for Health and Wellness
I f you take all the supplements recommended by genius podcasters (quacks) on YouTube you will rattle a lot. If you get little sun you need Vitamin D. Nearly everyone needs vitamin C If you take 1000mg time release vitamin C in the morning with food you may never have another cold, I went 5 years without a cold before having one called covid. None since. This also worked for eldest daughter who was air crew and always getting bad colds, it was not my recommendation but the private hospital doctor. He of course was looking out for his airline not like the average doctor who wants you ill - more money including freebies from big pharma.

Beautician from Thailand battles British heirs for £400k inheritance
Her lawyers are likely on no win no fee but set as a percentage of any payment. She will have no assets in the UK so security for costs should be ordered. She will not be able to or willing to pay this so that will be the end of it. Her lawyer will be a chancer who hoped the sons would make a 'nuissance' payment that he would get a good percentage of. The sons have called her bluff but will be out of pocket for their costs which might well exceed the 'nuissance' payment her lawyer was expecting.

Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
This story has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese e.g. Remarkably, the British tourist managed to smuggle a phone inside, hidden in baby wipes Must have been a big pack that none of the police or guards took notice of. Where did he hide the charger? Where did he plug it in? No one robbed him of it.

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
18 pages of this nonsense. If you are stupid enough to voluntarily pay tax you deserve to pay it. Just like the people in the UK paying for a TV licence. If this was actually enforced it would kill the real estate market, do you really think the people who are selling condos and Villas in Phuket and elsewhere at 4-5 times the build cost on land they have 'owned' for decades will allow this? These are powerful people and include some who can just declare rocky land along the coast to be theirs. They will not upset this apple cart. It's the same reason money laundering regulations are not enforced here.

Expiration (not) of Thai native's Thai driving license.
If you are not in the UK for more than 182 days a year you are no longer a UK resident so are supposed to surrender your UK licence. Everyone uses an accomodation address (sister, brother, son, friend etc.) but it is a criminal offence to do so both for you and your 'friend'. The UK is really tightening up on this and will increasingly be making cross checks with HMRC, electoral roll etc.
