Thailand must adapt to meet its unique demographic challenge
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You really have no clue about Thailand do you. -
Skimmers dont have to only be in the card slot. they can be hand held or even just be walked past you and they can pull info off the cards in your wallet.

Question concerning new foreign income tax
Dan O replied to Jinxed1's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Not sure of your country but It would appear so but you need to read the whole DTA to make sure theres nothing else that would change that. -
Question concerning new foreign income tax

You need to read the DTA to see what it says. I have a US Social Security benefit that I don't pay any tax on but I'm exempt per the DTA from taxes in Thailand and elsewhere -

Thats correct and deserved at least a mention to refer back to your prospective country for the specific details on DTA. The DTA's make the panic about this taxing issue almost unnecessary in most instances. -

Is it actually complete? It's a very good explanation of the Thai tax law but that only addresses 1 side of the tax equation. It doesn't address the dual tax treaties between countries that exclude certain moneys that are exempt from being taxed by Thailand -
Your thinking is slightly flawed. People living in cars or homeless generally have multiple issues going on that landed them in that situation. Its not always about money or the cost of rent that started the ball rolling down the wrong hill. If you're in that life situation with multiple mental or physical issues, living abroad is the last thing they are thinkng about.

I'd love to see you deal with life if you started in the same place average Thais do with the same life options. Hell you had a huge leg up over them for options and look at the mess you've become

You should have showed her your rolex Bob

Your making moron assumptions that he was or that was referring to hotels in my original comment. Go back and read it again
-
You seem to feel entitled. You won't last long here acting like that.
-
He wasn't at a hotel and thais do eat runny eggs regularly. I ask for well done every time I eat eggs at numerous resturants and hotels and never had a problem
-
Well done would be the proper way to order the eggs as you expected. Thais eat eggs only partially cook regularly. You should already know that and also how to order your eggs if you want them cooked like that. Its pretty simple, even for you Bob.

you have no counter points that weren't addressed, you're just trying to deflect now. not upset at all, unlike you, but you can go.

Why are video games so often blamed for mass shootings?
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think its a variety of factors. Violent video game playing non stop helps to desensitize youths. Same with many action movies with over the top violence.. Lack of strong parenting and supervision (especially in thailand), the approach that every one wins and no one is a loser so you automatically get a participation award. Over emphasis of having to show respect by never questioning authority (especially in Thailand) and mental issue never being acknowledged and addressed (loss of face ) they all contribute their own portion to a ticking time bomb. -
Its a reasonable contribution IF you point out the limitations or uselessness of the data which wasn't. Many unknowing people reading that would walk away thinking its far safer than it is and also probably presume the police are on top of crime and problems, which they certainly are not. I pointed out the limitations of what was posted as you put it and it apparently upsets you, but thats on you and the issues you may have with your MIL. Again as you know well or now admit there isn't any data to show real events so asking for it to be posted in this instance is pointless.
-
Kinda ridiculous to ask me to post something that doesn't exist as is posting faulty data without disclaiming the flaws in what you data. Sorry that I'm pointing out the uselessness of that data, but it is what it is.
-
It doesn't and that's my point about you posting that data. Its not very accurate since in the case of Thailand its common that the majority of incidence are never recorded or filed so statistics are less than usable.
-
Your story has nothing to do with lack of respect being shown to Thai's. It shows the exact opposite, nothing more.
-
They dont count the incidence that are never recorded because the police typically dont file a case and require you to settle it between each other in a large number of occurrences whenever they can?
