Many government officials here are mostly interested in lining their own pockets. This is a country where civil servants have exotic car collections. It's wishful thinking to think that the RD would be an exception. I think it’s obvious that there will be many cases where foreigners are scammed by RD officials, especially elderly ones intimidated by fear-mongering.

I guess the somchais at tax office are waking up to the fact that they can make money off of the falang numbnuts who are very eager to pay tax and don't take no for an answer.

The russkies should've been executed on the spot. They are the lowest life form in the universe. Whenever they harm a human, dog, horse, whatever they should be offed immediately.

The video perfectly illustrates what pussies thais are. They will jump on someone who cannot defend himself, when it’s someone who could <deleted> them up (like in this video) they are scared <deleted>less and do nothing.

We haven't had a prolonged bear market since Fed started doing QE in 2008. It has kept bond rates low and injected liquidity to the system. Perhaps this time could be different if the orange doofus continues with the tariff shenanigans and inflation shoots up. That would limit Fed's wiggle room significantly. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. A proper old school bear market would be an absolute shock for newer investors.

Islomophobia is an oxymoron. Phobia means irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about resisting, disliking, despising, hating or even fearing islam. It is the single worst ideology to ever appear on the face of the Earth.

Looks rather nice minus the bearded dancers. I wonder if they will tax foreign income in Trump Gaza? This could be an option if Thailand moves forward with the silly plan of taxing foreigners.

And six months later we will see a headline: "Solutions Sought for Dealing with Unruly Tourists in Thailand trains". This country is just absolutely pathetic. If they are this desperate for a few more baht why can't the PM take one for the team and launch her OF to fill the coffers.

If you want to donate money to an utterly corrupt 3rd world country I guess that's your right but don't expect the Thais to give a rat's ass about your 'moral right' to complain. They will laugh at your face. You will never have any rights here.

There is certainly a lot room for improvement in this department. Thais have a fairly low average IQ (91, IIRC) so pedestrian safety and traffic safety in general will probably never reach 1st world levels but that doesn't mean a lot cannot be done. Even Vietnam is IMO much better in this regard which is really telling.

Chinese are too busy running their scams and whatnot. No time for this kind of silliness.

The total area of the land was 403 square metres, and they chose to build a one-storey luxury pool villa. The total price for the two plots of land and the house was 15.2 million baht That's more than $450k USD. Isn't that an insane price for a tiny plot and a one-storey house in Hua Hin??

I wonder how progressive people see gender in other mammals. Let's say a puppy for example, do they agree that it can be either male or female and the gender can easily be verified by checking whether it has a dong or not? Or is it the same nonsense with animals?

At around 29:23 the guy says that if assessable income reaches certain threshold you need to file. So this seems to confirm the fact that if you have no assessable income then no need to file.

It is indeed a lot to carry around but maybe the russkie had just arrived in Thailand or was in the process of changing accommodation. Interesting that the victim has a Spanish name, russland has a lot of immigrants of course but most of them are from the former Soviet Union.
