Former prime minister of Singapore explains how difficult it is to rid this behavior of the savages:

Well it seems to work for Singapore. If it's good enough for Singapore then surely it is good enough for Thailand.

You are confusing two things here. CRS and worldwide taxation. In these countries you have to declare foreign income because these countries have a worldwide tax system. It has nothing to do with CRS. If you want to find an example of a country that is in CRS and doesn't require tax residents to declare foreign income then look into countries that are in CRS and don't tax foreign income. Such as Singapore for example. This quote is from Singapore government website: "Generally, you do not need to pay tax or report overseas income received in Singapore, including income deposited into a Singapore bank account.". https://www.iras.gov.sg/taxes/individual-income-tax/basics-of-individual-income-tax/what-is-taxable-what-is-not/income-received-from-overseas

The CRS may very well have a grand mission statement where it says that the aim is to stop tax evasion bla bla bla. But what the countries have actually agreed to do is just share a lousy excel sheet with certain information about bank accounts. Nothing more, nothing less. To think that the CRS would mandate the participating countries to individually verify that no one is evading taxes is just absurd.

"an ambulance failed to arrive in time." Real icing on the cake in this advertisement for the world class family friendly tourist destination. Rip to the operator anyway.

What a <deleted>show. Now more than ever I think max 179 days in TH is the best option. Second best is to just lay low and see how the situation develops. One thing to keep in mind is that Thailand was bullied into joining the CSR, it wasn’t their own aspiration. They dragged their heels for a long time but finally had to do it to prevent their banks being greylisted. Some countries just join these things in name only to get the Western nanny states of their back and never really properly implement them. Hopefully Thailand is one of them.

If this guy was a Joe Schmoe they would have released the identity long time ago. They are currently busy creating a false identity and backstory to protect the religion of peace.

Ten years in Big Tiger should sort this guy out.

According to Daily Mail he’s British: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14220625/British-tourist-investigated-prostitute-corpse-hotel-room.html

Didn't a Polish Insta girl just get let off the hook for trying to smuggle much more cannabis into the UK?

Maybe he meant that Thai people who are in the highest bracket (often high ranking government officials) receive enough brown envelopes during the year to bring their real tax rate down to 10%.

There’s a new article on taxes on BP. It states that 4 million people in Thailand pay income tax. According to ChatGPT, there are approximately 2 million civil servants in Thailand. If we assume they all pay income tax, that leaves only 2 million people in the private sector contributing to income tax. I’m genuinely impressed by the tax-dodging skills of Thai people!

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

If wokery and immigration from 3rd world countries were the way to promised land the UK economy should be absolutely booming. But the FTSE looks like a comatose man's pulse. What gives?

Using a tax accountant guarantees nothing. You are still fully liable for everything, just as you would be without one. Always happy to say goodbye permanently to poor losers. One shouldn't hang around such people, online or offline, unless one wants to become one.
