K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Srikcir replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Regarding the US-Thailand Double Taxation Treaty, both countries need to see what the taxpayer is declaring to both countries that might result in additional tax in Thailand. So both a US and Thai TIN would be required. I assume a similar bank request would be made where Thailand has other Double Taxation Treaties - Thailand currently has 61 double tax agreements. -

"A ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon appeared to be holding after it came into effect at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday (10 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday). President Biden announced the ceasefire deal Tuesday, saying the U.S. and France had helped broker the agreement." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-netanyahu-war-lebanon-gaza-hamas/ Trump was busy having parties at Mar Largo with his billionaire friends. -

Thai Property Reforms: A Boon or Burden for Foreign Buyers?
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is a one dimensional view of a multi-dimensional economic market. But there's a broader economic impact. I suggest: Thai sellers gain significant economic gains that can be further invested and/or exploited to raise standard of living, including education and business opportunities. For a segment of Thais who choose to down size their lives subsequently to sale of real estate to foreigners, it becomes a net live time gain. Foreigners buying Thai real estate are likely to have significant economic excess beyond real estate acquisition to continue to add to the Thai economy over their lives in Thailand. More foreigners buying residences likely become permanent residents as defined by the Thailand Department of Revenue with the potential for additional income taxes. -
Finance Ministry Plans Capital Boost to Propel Thai Airways Recovery
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
State owned or not - NO government capital for Thai Airways. For decades Thailand government as a majority shareholder has capitalized profit losing Thai Airways ultimately leading to a court-ordered capital reorganization. You think the Thai government becoming a minority shareholder now will make any difference in future airline economic performance? Let the public capital market decide. -
Old friends, new deals: Singapore PM makes visit to Thailand
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
GDP per Capita 2023 Singapore $84,734 vs Thailand $7,336. (AI) Singapore's GDP per capita is high due to a number of factors, including: - Low corruption: Singapore is a highly efficient country with low levels of corruption. - Pro-business environment: Singapore's low tax rates and pro-business environment attract FDI. - Manufacturing and exports: advanced manufacturing & export facilities. Thailand's GDP per capita is lower than Singapore's because Thailand is mainly an agricultural economy that relies on growing crops like rice -

Consumer injured by glass in spaghetti at Thai pizza chain

Sounds like the source was industrial manufacturing in nature. I would expect that glass broken on site (restaurant) would be in larger pieces. -
Thai Navy's Submarine Plans Stalled Pending Feasibility Study

That might work in Lake Geneva in Switzerland but frigates are best means to protect a fleet and cargo ships. Do you think the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are protected by submarines versus surface warships plus shore-based aircraft? -

Thailand's Opposition Opts for Parliamentary Path Despite Protest Calls
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
This is the correct approach that will avoid a constitutional 'trap'. From the academic paper "Constitutional Court Decision No. 19/2564: A Threat to Democracy? Forfeiture of Fundamental Rights and the Judicialization of Politics by the Thai Constitutional Court in 2021," by Siravich Teevakul, Thai Legal Studies (2022) Vol. 2 No. 2 | 178–204 - https://doi.org/10.54157/tls.261266 (partial direct and my paraphrasing) The Thai Constitutional Court in Decision No. 19/2564 interpreted Section 49 of the 2017 Constitution as “Thai-style militant democracy,” which suppresses the fundamental rights of the citizen and reflects the characteristics “judicialization of politics” and “politicization of the judiciary” applied by the Court. "In Decision No. 19/2564, the Court ruled to suppress the activists’ freedom of expression on the ground that they exercised their rights with the intention to “overthrow” the rule by democracy with the King as the head of state." As Thailand is allegedly a constitutional monarchy, unhindered discussions of changes in the constitution in a legislative forum by party representatives of the electorate is legally appropriate. Court applied its reasoning to the mechanism of “militant democracy” to defend the regime’s structure. -
Thai Navy's Submarine Plans Stalled Pending Feasibility Study

Which is not I understand on any other Chinese-made submarine. There's been no details of this engine's development and operational history. How can engine viability be tested when there's no live operational parameters to compare performance, ie., on another similar submarine? To be fair, the Chinese Defense Ministry had issued an industrial certificate for the CHD620 generator, and it also received a certificate of approval from Lloyd's Register (based solely on Chinese manufacturer representations?). CHD620 is actually a licensed-manufactured version of the German MTU396 engine aka based on reverse engineering? However (I have no direct confirmation) the CHD620 engine may have been certified as a submarine electric generator, not serve as a propulsion engine. Maybe if Thailand requires China (versus Thailand) to conduct a month of sea trials for the new submarine, that might clear up any operational concerns. -
Trump Plans new Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China

4. In 2020 45th POUTUS Trump and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts signed the US-Mexico-Canada (USMC) Trade Agreement after approved by Congress full filling a major re-election campaign promise. Now due to become 47th POTUS, Trump aims to trash the agreement with a tariff war. -
This statistic is vague as it seems to imply public bus traffic accidents. "Investigation of accident scenarios between pedestrians and city buses in Thailand," December 2015 published in the International Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering: An accident between pedestrians and city buses is one cause of severe casualties in Thailand. it was discovered that pedestrian injuries were more severe at impact speeds of approximately at 20 to 50 km/h. However, the 90th percentile impact speed was not over 30 km/h.

Neither of which the EC nor the members of the CC voiced any objection. And preserved their positions, accepting NCPO's absolute powers.
