Also, if we are tax paying foreigners in Thailand why then do we have to pay double or triple for things just because we are foreigners? They should allow us the privilege to pay the same as Thai by showing a tax number or long term visa. Tourists can pay the double standards and be taxed accordingly for their purchases. It appears the government is trying to punish those of us living here, married here with families, or working here with yet another double standard. The country coffers must be drying up and this is their way to refill it. There are 2 other countries that have the taxation for income in and outside their countries. But they do not make you pay additional charges simply because you are a foreigner. Every person in the country is charged the same for things and services.

I am still curious about how this country can tax income that is earned and deposited overseas? If it is earned in another country then their respective banks would be reporting it to the local tax. But they can only do that because you signed releases to allow it when opening the account. Thailand banks may have new rules to make you sign a release so they can gain this information. But what about older accounts? Would anyone actually sign something new to allow them this authorization? None of my Thailand banks have my tax or income information other than receiving wire transfers from another country. If they request blanket permission to access my banks private information I would refuse and take my money from their bank. If they request access to my tax information from abroad I would not be able to give it since I never file taxes there. Un-taxable income is not required to file a tax return. So there is no record for them to check anyway. Given the really bad security issues dealing with banks leaking your personal information make me think it is not a good idea to provide banks with data from my country. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2425127/police-nab-state-officials-selling-user-information-to-scammers https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-bank-officer-nabbed-for-selling-customer-data-in-nonthaburi Does anyone else feel there may be risks in giving more information to the banks in Thailand than is absolutely necessary or to the government about the money we have or make outside of Thailand?

Don't they mean only 15 million... that number should be a lot higher. i would think that many who do not file taxes or have their names and incomes on record are a lot more than this 15 million

How can this be when they had such such good leaders? Are they now trying to tell us the opposite?

What a joke. for 12 years I have been reading about what monks do when no-one is looking and even seen it with my own eyes. Drugs, sex with married women, alcohol, murder, incest, child-sex or porn, theft, and many other crimes regularly. You see them walking around looking like the only live on the food sustenance until you see the 80,000 baht IPhone or Ipad they pull out. When will Thais realize that more than a few monks are not following Buddhism's teachings? This article does not surprise me. Nor does it show Buddhism in a good light. Perhaps I need to go see that 8 year old kid who is claiming to be a reincarnation of Buddha with mystical powers to see what has happened to the real Buddhism?

yeah, it does not really make sense adding so much security since you can not obtain money through that website.

Wow you are not kidding. Wife works in a government office. The office supervisor is there today crying and will be going to file a police report because she just sent 80,000 baht to someone claiming to be the bank manager at her bank. Scammed so easily simply by telling her that there was an error and she needed to send the money to fix it. This is a Government worker who manages payouts millions of baht to other government workers. No checking authenticity of the bank and the manager. No checking the account to see if there was really a problem.. Just a phone call and off her money goes without thought

Their committee that was set up to capture and relocate those monkeys seems to have stopped. One article in the news about 2 months ago hailing this and the capture between 20 to 30 monkeys. But then nothing. One would think it would not be difficult to capture more quickly given the monkeys dependence on food from the temple and in the city.

Don't think he will need to prepare much except maybe memorizing what to say that is being told to him. He is protected now with Thaksin pulling the strings.

Why didn't you file a police report? Can not see how you found all of that funny though. A gf of 8 years would be considered your wife anyway. Also it sounds as if you were the one scammed simply because she must have been using your money to pay for the uhh (land).

No more than TUG did with the first comment posted. Even if he is guilty, the Prez managed to escape becoming involved with it even though it was proven he met the investors with his son personally and was in speakerphone talks with them making deals. This case can not go away simply because of the publicity and need to continue to keep Biden out of it. However, I seriously doubt there will be any conviction. It is a show now made to pacify the voters for Biden.

Uh oh.. perhaps someone forgot to send those much needed envelopes. Why do they pick on these workers? No Thai in Chonburi would do such for for so little pay. There are much bigger fish they could be catching right there in the open selling themselves or services out in the open. The last time I walked down walking street i was approached by several foreigners showing cards with pricing for sex shows in Non-specific bars. They were doing it in the middle of the street with the small police stand within 50 meters.

When i opened mine with SSA i did not have a US number. I used ID ME. They will give you an option to get some codes to use for log in. At first i thought it would be a pain and difficult but after several times using it I feel it is convenient. Just make sure you store codes in a hidden folder if keeping them in your PC. You can copy and paste them easily enough.

why not just take it to a shop that does this.. It will be cheap enough and not waste your time waiting for delivery and doing it yourself. My fan also had the same problem but it was not the capacitor. You may find you are wrong about the problem and change that only to find it still does not work. The cost to fix my industrial sized fan was only 150 baht. Are you so cheap you can not just let a professional fix it?

I recently did 3 passport renewals all by mail. You seem to either not be able to read or perhaps unable to interpret what you read. They post photos or how to make payment. How to do the mail. You can get a bank draft to send payment. They show photos of it and the banks you can use. Then you can get a prepaid envelope if i remember correctly to have them mail it back.

Yeah, but think it was B.S. Even if you are strapped to a bed you can still be allowed on an airplane. My guess is that story was just some drivel Thaiger made to make you sympathize with them and help an ongoing gofundme or worse. I know for sure anyone can walk into a clinic and get a doctors release to fly if offering the doctor money.

Have fun there Bob.. Last time I was there i saw many very old men like you with 18 year old wives following behind their old husbands and although not a single one looked happy. They were dressed to the 9. I am sure you too can find one happy to spend your money and lay with you (maybe not so happy) there

yeah, i am suspecting this also. As well as the woman and her husband failing to plan their future as retired. They have been in Thailand a very long time. When they arrived the THB was getting them almost the same as it is now. But the cost of living was 1/4 of what it is now. I wonder why they did not plan with savings for their futures, knowing their incomes would stay the same. Everyone knows the cost to live increases yearly. Also, when they saw their money dwindling, why did they wait until now to try to leave? Based on the article they have been told by several doctors now that she is unfit to fly. If they were already struggling before, why wait until there is nothing and she is unable to leave by plane?

sorry this was uploaded 2 times

Do you really think they even bothered to look at it? Their eyes were surely on the focus if the money being spent rather than if the buyer was legitimate.

so remember folks... only say good things about what you read and see here. lest they block or ban you for saying what you really think.. i am curious if the Thaiger has this policy in their website. Or if the moderators are going to far in this. As for the comments i am replying to in the quote. I expect mine will also be deleted or edited. 200 baht for a quicky on the side of the road. Can not get any cheaper than that. I would guess this was not their first rodeo. I am curious though based on the photos provided so generously. Does they insinuate there are many women homeless ready to have sex with someone for so little money? 2 women laying there looking like they are ready for whatever comes by. Hmm... What was the address again to find them?

l believe you answered your own question... The women there don't want Aussie men. They still prefer an American man who treats them good.

Why is this? Clearly it is assault with intent to harm.. Why they can not determine this man is a menace to society and violent and attacked someone physically causing harm. Instead they should have charged and arrested the Thai man. If a foreigner had done that he would have been arrested. When will the 2 tiered justice end. Throwing money is an insult to Thai. But it is not violent and does not cause harm and injuries.

Seems this is appearing in every article related to crime and justice. Are they trying to convince us or themselves? No one believes it anyway

I would suggest you go to Siriraj hospital. They actually took care of my back very good and I have had multiple procedures there. They imported a doctor from Australia when i needed laser surgery to sever some nerves in my back. Also, they have a pain management center specifically for the back. I was getting special massage therapy and heat therapy on my back at the hospital for several months. Their cost is not as much as private hospitals also. But they have very professional doctors and service being the Kings hospital. If you want to go in the evenings they also utilize the hospital next door which is private but not as costly.
