There are red flags for me. 1 is that my email address is in capital letters in the one I received but of course email addresses are in lowercase. 2 it mentions people residing outside of Thailand. As we know any forthcoming taxation is for foreigners residing IN Thailand for more than 180 days. This may mean any scammers who aren't fully conversant with what the proposals are, may have let them down. Also contact the Ministry of Finance and ask them have Kasikorn been asked to get this information.

I have sent a email to Kasikorn bank to ask them if they have sent these forms out. I am a UK citizen and have resided here for 16 years. I will also be calling them on Monday. I have never seen any mention of FATCA CRS in any comments about the proposed taxation of foreigners living here for more than 180 days.

It's rife throughout the whole country not just in Isaan and is so cheap. The country is awash with it like it is with the drinking of Lao Khao, a quick way to start a argument which leads to severe consequences. Nothing is done apart from the usual photo op of a drugs bust here and there. We all know why because the money is paid to those to turn a blind eye.

Another reason to continue living in Thailand. Woke this and that everywhere.

More jaw rattling, meanwhile the real Thai criminals continue their activities unabated. If his force wasn't so corrupt he might have a leg to stand on, as it is it is rotten to the core. The same thing will be repeated by him very soon as is always the case. Only the keystone cops would broadcast that they are hunting them down, just like the fiasco with the Tak Bai murderers, by saying if you don't come in by this date we will arrest you, so of course they all fled the country, 555

Yawn, yet another Thai hub...

The ICC and for that matter the UN are completely unfit for purpose in the 21C and should be wound up and replaced by a purely humanitarian organisation, free of corruption and political shenanigans.

It's transactional, they provide certain services for a nice house, lifestyle allowance etc in 99% of cases. Can't understand why anyone thinks anything different, just the way it is. It's very, very rarely about love but rather money.

Hardly matters now he's sucking the vile orange blobs cock.

Every man, woman, soi dog and committee is in on the Thaksin witch-hunt hoping for a glimpse from the spot light. Grow up you pathetic morons and try to spend as much time as your small intellect, I use the word intellect generously, to improve the health and prosperity of the citizens.

Drinker beware, if it's free, is too good to be true. Here in Thailand the local hooch Lao Khao is often associated with unsavoury incidents of murder, rape and all sorts of crimes, even more so when consumed with meth. It's so cheap but hardly ever gets a price hike like other alcoholic beverages, mainly because it's consumed in large quantities in rural areas like Isaan, that have the largest voting population by region. So politics rules over citizens health... TiT. RiP to the innocent victims of someone's evil profiteering.

Why just him, why not probe all citizens with dual citizenship, another witch hunt because the Muppets have nothing else better to do...

Another brain dead Muppet, although I'm sure he'll get a few idiots...

Stopped worrying about kids, along long time ago. It's their <deleted> if it doesn't impact me I don't give a ...

Amazing Thailand. All this fuss over 500 baht when the head honcho's and their cronies are raking in millions of baht every month, just laughable

Devolving responsibility to local Muppets is a huge error of judgement, these people weald enough power as it is with vote rigging, corruption etc. They need less control of the local population not more, a fricking disaster

You've got it wrong you can buy between 11 and 2pm if you can read the English signs in Lotus, BigC etc

Aussie's don't speak English.

There isn't one

Hilarious Could they tell the difference between them...

Law enforcement is a joke here full stop. My Thai uncle had to pay 20,000 baht for the police to arrest a man in our village who had committed several burglaries. Despite several villagers also joining the case. He spent 2 days in the local cells and was released. A truely corrupt and pathetic police force.

Yes using snail mail in the 21C is appalling. The letter requesting me to confirm proof of life never arrived and I only discovered why when I called the International pension centre and was told they had sent the request 3 months ago and as they had received no response, they suspended my payments. I now call them once a year to enquire if a life certificate has been sent out, as it is supposedly a random process. In my last call a couple of months ago, I was told Thailand is in line again in 2025. I have to say that the lady I dealt with when I called about my payment not arriving, was very professional and helpful and my payment arrived 2 weeks late before continuing the 4 week cycle.

I didn't bother building a pool after I visited other expat house's and after a short period of time the novelty wore off and nobody was interested in putting in the time and effort of keeping it up just for appearances sake.

It already is a benefit which is why you aren't entitled to it automatically and have to apply to get your UK state pension, if you qualify.
