I agree with you to a large extent however, to try to answer your question, The people "coining it" now in the UK are those who own businesses providing services to and having contracts with government departments. These could be children's services such as children's homes or SEND schools, consultancy services, hotels providing accommodation, construction services. This is a dramatic change from 40 years ago when this was not the case. I haven't even mentioned Carillion yet but this is a perfect example of who is getting very wealthy in the UK as a result of lax government practice.

When a police commander, army general or senior politician is given a death sentence for drug dealing, I will support this proposal. There are people in control of the drug trade here that are untouchable. It might just be easier for the senator to start naming names.

Also my printer seems to be regional. These cartridges are not available in the UK. This is common with many products though.

Same price on there. Perhaps I am setting my expectations too high! 😀

Thanks for the helpful reply. It is inkjet cartridges for a Canon Pixma that I am after.

In the UK, there are numerous online vendors selling printer cartridges at a fraction of the cost of the printer manufacturer. Here, I checked on Shoppee and also went to Tuk Com but the price seemed fairly consistent and high and was surely the product of the printer manufacturer. Where can you buy cheaper alternatives in Thailand, online or otherwise. I am based in Pattaya.

What is the armed officer on the right of the picture doing? Is that a pose? 😃

Why do you troll all the time? Your posts remind me of a poster named scouse twoccer who always trolled threads. Why not post something constructive, helpful or even polite?

Next he will be suggesting people inject bleach to 'disinfect' themselves. 🤔

I could, that's maybe 5 weeks CMS deductions. Nothing in the UK.

Sorry buddy, but @Mr Meeseeksis right. You believed what they told you in the bar, didn't you!

This only seems to happen at Phuket Airport. If I had an overstay (I don't), I guarantee I would not be leaving via Phuket airport.

Coming in to Thailand or leaving Thailand?

The antithesis.

@KhunHeinekenYou may find if you speak to Revenue Department officials, and you probably have, they are very happy to follow the tax code and in my experience play it by the rules for the hapless retired farang. Indeed it does, at least on Aseanow.

I have been stopped innumerable times, particularly when I lived in Bangkok. One time, a police officer jumped out from behind a car trying to grab my arm causing me to swerve like an insane game of tick. I razzed off without thinking. That was the only time I ran a police checkpoint. It was on Ratchadamri, I think, by the old Cambodian embassy. It was very exciting. I thought they would catch me at the next junction so I quickly turned left. I got away with it!

Correct. However it is the other stuff that you wrote that I do not understand. Whilst foreign income may be exempt (e.g. social security payments) IN THAILAND, it is very important that they may well not be exempt IN THE FOREIGN COUNTRY and if taxable, they will be taxed there. An example of this is the UK State Pension. (I am from the UK.) Even if a taxpayer is resident in Thailand for tax purposes, their UK State Pension will be taxable in the UK. However if remitted to Thailand within the assessable period, it will be exempt from Income Tax in Thailand.

@NoDisplayName I find it very hard to understand what it is you are trying to say in your post. I assume you are talking about income derived in the US. If I am right, and again it is very difficult to understand what you are saying, then 2 tax authorities could potentially consider this income. i) The IRS who will apply the US tax code. ii) The Thai Revenue Department if the income is remitted to Thailand in the same tax year or the following one. This authority will then apply Thai tax legislation. These 2 tax authorities will act independently. However any DTA will allow you to avoid paying tax twice on the same income. That's it.

I am afraid your loophole would not work and it has demonstrated your misunderstanding of double taxation. Income derived in the US would first be taxed in the US under the US tax code. If the Thai tax due is less, you don't get a refund. It is key that you understand what double taxation relief is. I hope this post helps you to understand.

They can indeed, but there is a maximum ceiling. The teacher may be maxed out.

One wonders how the press have got hold of this story and what a strange angle they have taken with it. It looks like a leak and then the CAA has just decided to confirm and leave it at that which is a wise decision. The piece could alternatively have been, "There was never any danger. The pilots followed their training. The passengers knew little about it."
