Lol, no it’s not. Why would it be? I guess you are American and don’t understand how normal countries do things.

What is the issue with that? Are you jealous?

Fine by me, as long as they quietly shelve their plans of taxing expats.

All that could be a moot point anyway if the Thai revenue department works like other branches of the government, i.e. they can decide what they want regardless of the laws and regulations. You might think you have all your ducks in a row but a Somchai in a provincial RD office just says ”you pay”. Then what you do?

Yes, I’m sure expats in Thailand need not to worry about negative income tax, which means getting money from the government. Positive (normal) income tax on the other hand, I wouldn’t be so sure about, at least in the long run.

This is a totally unenforceable mess. Determining when remitted funds were earned will be difficult for people with multiple income sources, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc. Either taxes will continue to be something foreigners don’t have to worry about, or they will implement worldwide taxation. I don’t see this current situation being enforced.

Russkies are pretty much universally hated in their neighboring countries, from the Arctic sea to Turkey, from Turkey to Sea of Japan. And for a good reason, they have caused an untold amount of suffering over the centuries. You can easily get offed in many of these countries if you declare your love for russkies in the wrong place. You western losers idolizing putler and russia have no idea what you are doing.

Another incel arrived at the party. Putin is your idol too?

French colonel explains? Please enlighten me when was the last time the frogs didn’t totally embarrass themselves in a war they got involved in. Why should anyone listen to a freaking french colonel.

Every russkie in this world should be take to a vet to be put down. They are disgusting, horrible, rotten "people". F them.

The bus certainly doesn’t look that old. There is some mix up with the Buddhist calendar and western calendar I think.

The doors were probably pneumatic operated. There would (or should) be an emergency valve, usually a red plastic handle/knob that needs to rotated, which can be used to open the door. It could be difficult for even an adult to operate in a panic if he/she doesn’t have previous experience. In the video where the bus burns, the doors seem to be open but that could be because the fire eventually burned through the pneumatic system operating the doors.

Actually there were two direct HEL-MAN flights on 26th of July and the later, AY1365, would have been perfect for him as it departed an hour and a half after AY142 arrived.

Since his flight came from outside the Schengen area Finnish authorities will know 100% whether he entered the country or not. No way to sneak into country without going thru passport check. My gut feeling is that he did not board the flight despite the new information and he is still in Thailand. AY142 is a non-stop flight Bangkok-Helsinki so he couldn't have vanished during a layover either.

Can't they all just enroll on a cooking class and get the DTV visa?
