Change in the tax law does target expats living in Thailand and extends reporting obligations
It will not go ahead period. They can’t even manage a law to determine if pot is is illegal or not. It will also effect a lot of wealthy Thais more than the average expat.

Thaksin’s stay at police hospital extended by Corrections Department
I will say a prayer for him. In Thailand you can buy ANYTHING. Oh I love this country

Annoyed by music in taxi cab? Play your own?
Music doesn’t worry me much compared to the smell of a driver that has just wolfed down an Isaac garlic seafood spicy noodle soup. Incentivised me to buy a car 8 years ago…haven’t looked back since.

When having received a '7 days to leave the country' permission, would doing a border-run result in a refusal to re-enter Thailand?
Use a descent agent to pay for your worries to go away.

Current teacher salaries at AUA?
Hopefully you have kicked on since then.

The Beckham documentary on Netflix.
The top .01% in most things get paid well. The market determines his rate and good on him.

Triple Cats should be your first stop.

Cannabis Network Gives Health Minister A Warning
They can’t pull the pin on this now. 20% of BKK retail would be empty if this happened. Some of the money retailers have invested on their Fitout’s to sell weed is indicative of the margin they make….even though there are so many of them.

Thai PM sees a role for Thaksin when he gets out of jail
You couldn’t script this stuff.

Second hand car import / lift of ban
Why would they. It is within Thailand’s (not the consumers) best interest to ensure a majority on the cars on the road are made in Thailand. Years ago the government’s initiative was to be the most successful car manufacturer in Asia and incentivised the Eastern Seaboard region. The govt wants 100% of cars on the road to be made in Thailand and if you want to opt against a local purchase they have set duties on imports accordingly. I paid 50% more for my imported car than what I can buy it for in my home country, but that’s my choice. Maybe not a good one ! Countries like Africa should capitalise on the used Japan market but often countries like this are too corrupt to even facilitate such a process. I have a friend that imported a Ford Mustang and never cleared it as the red tape and fees were 3 times the value of the car. My guess is that it is sitting in a Thai’s muscle car collection somewhere

Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
Who cares…bit late for opinions now with dispensaries outnumbering 7-11 within a year!

Deputy duo digs in to root out mafia-style gangs, promises ‘crime-busting’ harvest
Hope he starts with the Police first. The biggest of them all….on street level anyway.

Pattay has many daytime Gentlemans Clubs. Phuket, CM, HH and Koh Samui have none. Why?
Probably because they don’t have as many scumbag tourists. Pretty simple.

Danish Tony divorced his wife and married Thai transwoman Saiyan
I bet they ride Around together on Tony’s Harley. They would be considered normal in Pattaya.

Like other convicts, further clemency for Thaksin possible on important occasions
Sets a nice precedent for the country doesn’t it. I will remember Thaksin next time I pay the traffic cop 400thb for absolutely no wrong doing. You cannot blame people in uniforms here for grabbing what they can, when they can when the country’s highest leadership behaves like this.
