  1. Rent below 30 days in a residence without hotel license is illegal. You could get both owners and juristic office in hot water if you keep reporting, or get someone else to, report the illegal rentals to the police. Police wants money. Here's easy picking for them. Seems to have worked with condo at the end of Ekkamai with a cimple name, after word got out of police handcuffing and taking tourists away on daily basis...
  2. That I agree. But computer systems are ever more integrated. This government is out to grab every satang as their coffers are more than obviously empty. The populist policies are going to cost a fortune on top of that. It's kind of like a broke man handing out donations, then robbing anyone he can to get the cash for it. But winning elections at any cost is what populism is all about, right?
  3. Very easily. To issue you a visa, after checking time in country, they could ask you to provide them receipt of paid tax or reject your visa application. So easy to add one line to the requirements to apply for visa. On leaving the country, they could force you to get tax clearance document like many decades ago, if you stayed long time on wrong type of visa, or reject you exit. Philippine immigration loves to reject exit to their citizens, Thailand could do the same to you. Actually they aren't going to enforce anything. It is your responsibility to declare and settle taxes. If you don't and they find out, then they could penalise you later. The World is getting ever more connected. I don't think it's beyond imagination that immigration could get access to revenue department's data to verify whether taxes were paid or not.
  4. Out of business, probably. The DIY computer market has shrunk tremendously lately, as people move to laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
  5. PR holders can take a loan up to age 70 from a Thai bank. Mine is from UOB and was issued in Thai with Thai conditions. I have suggested UOB to a friend who got PR last year, and he also applied and got it approved. Only problem is that even at UOB, most staff don't even know what PR is, and start throwing out conditions that make no sense at all. Once you get to the correct person, however, they'll give you very good guidance on what's needed and how to get it done. Obviously, like Thais, your specific conditions (credit rating, outstanding debt, income, and amount/percentage of property value as well as their own assessment of the property quality) would come into play when considering whether to grant it or not. At least with my bank, you can overpay and finish early, but even if you overpay, you still need to pay at least fixed amount the next month.
  6. Which is in right in the center of Isaan from big bird's perspective, I guess...
  7. Of course being a national holiday week in China last week (autumn festival) and not this week has nothing to do with it...
  8. Whole last month iPhone's weather app was showing heavy rain warning for September 9 I think, now it's showing heavy rain warning until October 2. I very much appreciate how up-to-date these warnings are...
  9. So if you make another website with same promised functionality, asking users to register their email/phone/whatever, and then actually upload their photos/videos, that would create a vast library to blackmail pretty much everyone gullible enough to believe website advertising...
  10. Are you streaming from abroad? If yes, try testmy.net website and select which country you wish to test speed against. The SpeedTest is generally to closest point, often just from you to your operator, but that speed would drop dramatically when connecting outside the country.
  11. It's not very well written or named article, which came from original in Thaiger. In link, towards the end it states that the damage to genuine brand distributors from these peddlers was 10 million Baht... so it's not like the raid caused the damage, but the sale of fake products to distributors.
  12. Try Havilah. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/havilah-300-x1-l-havilah-fresh-herbal-shampoo-anti-hair-fall-300-ml-i1082286011-s2446492900.html
  13. Attacking Russian in a plane full of Russians, what did you expect? Of course they were going to beat the living hell out of him. They won't just sit down quietly, and wait for authorities to deal with it...
  14. Except police flashed his ID card to the camera for everyone to see and post on Twitter...
  15. From link in original post: Somchat later posted on social media that the man had been brought in for questioning, where it emerged he had not paid the road tax on his vehicle.
  16. In another "mall" the only language I could hear was Mandarin on weekend... Didn't even hear anyone speak Thai. Just Chinese everywhere. This Paragon incident and the part that Chinese woman was shot dead might change that a bit...
