Big Joke has been given a new portfolio: Head of Security and Special Affairs. And replaced in his old position. Not sure but this may be a mini-sidelining? According to Archayon, Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn, who was previously in charge of investigations has been put in charge of security and special affairs. The post left vacant by Surachate has been filled by Pol Lt-General Than Chuwong, the spokesman added. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40031580

Meh. They can blame the powerful people who stopped this.

I think any potential tax liability is tied to your tax residency in Thailand? More than 180 days = potential liability. Maybe just expand on your "point", and plans.

Maybe stop being coy and just tell us what your Plan B is? It's back there, on the back burner bubbling away, just look in and tell us what you got cooking.

Most holders of the levers of power here (legislative, business, financial, judicial, academic, ultra-royalists) seem to be against this scheme. Maybe Krungthai Bank is on board as they will manage the disbursements. Might it survive in some limited fashion as a welfare scheme? Maybe. But the original proposal was flawed and no one really believed in it, so it's toast.

OK, so that's your Plan B? Assuming you have fixed expenses in Thailand with a spouse, you'll be adding additional expenses living in Laos for 185 days. You may spend more doing that than potentially paying some taxes in Thailand?

What is your Plan B? Live in Laos for 185 days each year?

Reason du Jour: Change in crew haircut rule aimed at protecting police working in deep South https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40031852 There's always more to the story, no clue what it might be with this one?

Based on my limited experience I think that message shows while you are creating a new record, after which you would SAVE it. Maybe it shows during Search activities, but I don't remember.

Not sure that makes sense? You can only "search" the Check In date back 7 days (error message provided), whereas the Date of Inform fields can be widely adjusted. Not being able to search more than seven days back hardly seems like a "main search criteria"? But I am often wrong.

I thought that the record search was done via a date range in the Date of Inform fields? From, To. That works for me. To me it looks like that range can be greater than one week? On the old system the search range was limited to one week.

I think VAT was 10% back in the '90s. Since 1997 it has been lowered to and kept at 7% annually. This figure was rolled over for "one more year" through 30 September 2024. https://aseannow.com/topic/1306538-cabinet-agrees-to-keep-vat-at-7-for-another-year/ Chuwit claims that Srettha was adept at dodging taxes. And other sordid deeds. https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-1217536 https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40030328

Undercover officers, RTP or ISOC were exempted from the haircut regulations.

Every day opposition to this scheme increases. It will be interesting to see who blinks first. Some talk yesterday about "the rich" being excluded. I think Srettha is way out of his depth here, he - I think - really believes that this will stimulate the economy. And "believers", who are often wrong, are unwilling to compromise. It will be easy to stall this, either via the legislature or the courts.

I do not think it is outside the realm of possibilities that.. Banks withhold some percentage (10%? 20%) of any/all funds remitted to accounts from off-shore and forwards that to the RD. Immigration requires a document from the RD before any extensions are processed.

Weird that this is such a recurring thing with the RTP. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2017/11/20/new-buzz-cuts-imposed-thai-police-soldiers/ And strange because the current "904" cut style was said to be ordered from on high.

It looks like El Al is operating TLV-BKK, at least six flights per week (X FR). Some Thais are returning to BKK on this flight today. Plenty of seats available. I assume many of the Israeli tourists here flew in on El Al, and have a return ticket in hand. I understand that some/many may not wish to return in the near term.

I think the days of apps for Immigration are over. And the bulk of the TM30 filings are done by hotels, via the Excel upload feature. ~ 18 million international arrivals to date. Just use a browser, on a phone. The 90-Day Immigration eservices app is dead. Sec 38 is dead. Obviously that TM6 app is dead.

This is the bedrock of the Thai Social System, based on Sakdina and codified with the Law of the Three Seals. Granted, it is abused, but what's the point of having power if you can't abuse it? It will NEVER change. Why would the Powers-that-Be allow it?

Me too, but their process has changed, IME. The return envelope showed up - I could not track it - and I noticed a second EMS sticker pasted over my original EMS sticker purchased at the PO. After that I just added 40 baht in stamps to the return envelope and wrote "Via EMS" on it.

While leaping into action is admirable, I have to ask what these 800 officers were doing before being assigned to this crackdown. And will those tasks go unattended while the illegal gun trade is mopped up? Will the drug trade expand, not that it can very much as it seems to be running at full capacity? Have all the Influential People been categorized? I think there is pressure to make it look like the government is "doing something" about the gun supply, so this may be more theatre than anything else.

I'm not certain that RTAF (ex-TG/HS-TYV) A340 is air-worthy? It was deemed unacceptable for the PMs vacation to NYC; he needed a TG A350. I think it was used in May to ferry that hit-man (Mathew Dupre) from Vancouver back to Thailand for prosecution? And then the last flight was in August for a MUC-BKK flight. But maybe it's OK for a flight to TLV?

People plan vacations well ahead of their departure, very few travel on a whim with short notice. I doubt this decrease is due to last-minute cancellations, owing to security concerns.
