but just imagine all the likes she would have got on Instagram!

kind of like when someone goes in for the perfect selfie shot and walks off the edge of a cliff. Before the sadness hits you could get a little chuckle.

The only thing positive about this I can think of is at least she's 55 and not 25 with her whole life ahead of her. If you lose your hands your life is all but ruined so better to have made it nearly to retirement then well before.

so it's the "if you don't want Germans being killed by Muslims you're a Nazi". You're make the case for being a Nazi now?

I'm pretty sure this will be impossible. Thai people simply do not coordinate and communicate with each other well enough. I wouldn't even trust information from officials as they are often wrong or acting illegally themselves. The only thing you can trust is when they come to you personally and ask for X baht or you need to leave the country. That's always how they've operated here. Sadly certainty is not something they do so you need to work around this.

If you're savvy enough to make big money he's trying to attract why would you hire him to figure out life for you? Makes no sense to me.

Why even bother messing around with those countries anymore? I for one have seen enough. At the very most temporary working status. Don't let them have children or start families or gain citizenship. In particular you don't want their children mixed in with ours and above all don't let them vote ffs!!

He should also ban Thais from receiving citizenship or even green cards until they reciprocate a little in Thailand. Also deport the hordes of illegal ones who are overstaying their visas and doing fraud marriages. Last year I met a girl here in Thailand who went to high school in L.A. by simply overstaying her tourist visa and taking advantage of California state laws which require schools to take all students regardless of immigration status. State of CA should be punished for this and abusing their tax payers.

It took decades of brain washing Americans to make them believe they were evil racists. I don't see the same thing happening in Thailand but it's worth keeping an eye on.

I don't know what you're talking about. It's been going very well so far...oh wait.... ...but still it wasn't the migrants fault, it was just a car attack. Pesky cars. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czdl6594835o

This story makes no sense, all the important details were left out for some reason. How did he get to Doi Tao? He said his driver stranded him but how? It reads like he was taking a taxi from Chiang Mai to Koh Tao but the driver understood it to be Doi Tao (because what moron would hire a taxi to go 800km). Ok so he screwed up and was in Doi Tao, so what? Just a bus back to Chiang Mai and get a flight like you should have done anyways.

this has always been the case though. My point was that this is still as of today an imaginary problem you're creating by poking your noise around to see how you can get taxed. The one thing that is going to prevent us from getting taxed for real is the lack of coordination you're observing and this is a GOOD thing.

you're missing the point. The point is you've ALWAYS been liable for taxes but never paid them or even went in to ask. Why is that?

Check out of this video. I should make a new post entirely for this because it's seems to be a theme. Our American friend is doing his American thing and buys a house for 100k USD 10 months ago then realizes the location sucks (15 min drive from the ocean) then puts in back on the market for 136k USD. Free money yay! These cookie cutter "pool villa" concrete jungles are scammy and probably trapped many chumps.

You mean it's a test run to see if people were stupid enough to fall for the stories in the media and hand over their money?

Up to speed on what? When did the Thai government officially come out and say "we are now assessing all groups residing in Thailand over 6 months per year"? You could have gone to your local tax office 5 years ago and told them you remitted money within the same year it was earned and you're residing in Thailand over 6 months per year. The only thing changed now is the current year loop hole.

since you're looking to pay taxes maybe try another office or come back another day and see if another official has different information that could lead to your taxation. Good luck.

The US is too dependent on Chinese imports and it will take years if not decades to rebuild the local manufacturing base. Until then we need China and a trade war is the wrong away to go about it but we do need a rebalancing which supports native labor.

They can't figure that out but I'm sure they can handle relocating the entire capital city and millions of people. 😂

how about this? Probably didn't have any mumbling morons at the half time show either.

NBA is 100x worse but even so NFL these days just feels like black culture. Look at all the white dads with their kids wearing shirts with the names of other black men on them and listening to rap together while getting brow beaten over 40 acres and a mule. It's looks pathetic to me. I'd be embarrassed to be there myself. Pro tip white sports ball fan: if they're stilling blaming you over a broken promise made in 1865 these are not your friends. Time to white flight again and try another sport which doesn't hate you.

NFL is now a humiliation ritual for white people.

Pai is a tourist cesspit. The local people and culture has been ghettoized into the far corners of the valley. Between the hordes of tourists, rasta Thais from the south and pretentious Bangkok (and urban center) douches with fancy hotels there's nothing left. It will always be a lovely valley but it's totally spoiled I would say. Anyone who enjoys northern Thai culture should literally go anywhere else.

It's young men fresh out military service I think. They may have been at war in Gaza last month and then when they do their time they come to Thailand to relax and have fun and that's when the problems start. If these were middle class or even older Israeli people this wouldn't be happening I'm pretty sure.

Maybe this is old news or I forgot but those 4 Israelis that broke into the emergency room in Pai are being deported now. The comments on this video confirm other people seeing the same signs in other countries over decades. It's a pattern of behavior which led to this, Thai's just become "anti-semantic" overnight and target them over some prejudice based on a conflict happening overseas.
