Change in the tax law does target expats living in Thailand and extends reporting obligations
It won't be payable because we won't be here! Goodbye Thailand.

Expats seeking a new life face challenges with stricter banking and taxation rules being pushed
All it takes is for the Thais to require a tax clearance certificate to obtain your visa. Plus all incoming bank transfers could be taxed. In which case we are all out of here. For sure the Thais will make up the rules to suit themselves. For sure the rules will be totally devoid of any common sense and poorly thought out in true Thai fashion. I wait to see exactly what they are going to do.

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
As if we needed to be reminded of how tenuous our position is here. The Thais can change the rules and do what they like. If they do this the new rules will be typically well thought out in true Thai manner. Total chaos and a lot of departing farang will result, taking our money with us. Does anyone remember the dreaded tax clearance certificate that one had to obtain from the Thai tax dept before immigration would allow us out of the country. Cambodia begins to look more appealing.

Westlake Tyres
Cheapest known brand name is usually Dunlop. I just bought a set of Kumho (Cum Hoe) which are made in Korea. Cheap and good quality.

New tires
Cheapest well known brand name is Dunlop. Kumho, from Korea, are not so well known but even cheaper and very good.

Shopee
Problem I have with both Shopee and Lazada is they don't allow you to open the package before paying COD. You can almost get in a fight with some of the delivery boys. Often the package does not contain the correct item, or it does not stand up to comparison with the advertised photo.

Looking to buy Jaguar
Looking at the comments.... what did I start here?! Roadrunner is ex uk car trade and so not worried about Jags being high maintenance. Yes a Toyota may be reliable, but who wants one? Driving a Japanese car is a bit like running my nails down a blackboard. Arrrggghhhh! Nothing has the feel, soul and character of a Jag. Let me enjoy before we are all forced to buy an electric car.
