Generally, VAT is calculated on "landed cost",

so if that’s the case - are there any Sherlock Holmes out their that can find any goods that will meet that criteria being landed cost of 1 THB? Would love to see that item.

After a doctor was killed on a crossing, the BiB/Gov got their act together

As per the Saftey Push honouring the road death of the Thai Doctor on a crossing in a BP article.

But they are the Thai government most beloved money makers … errr … tourists, will we see a bigger safety push to honour 2 Chinese Tourists?  … also the push didn’t last long as most of the crossings in CM are now the same colour as the road (or smog).

looks like it was the Street light pole that was fatally injured and now won’t be providing anymore light to that stretch of highway anymore.

Thai PM vows enhanced security after deadly Siam Paragon shooting

And what is he doing to suppress the fatalities on Thai roads? 

Well the US government has set the bar low ….. as they now have to do a prisoner exchange of a top level Thai criminal. Just like they did with Russia for the drug criminal Britney Griner. Love to see President talk his way out of this one.

So snakes, ping pong balls, carrots, cucumbers and bananas are also banned in Thailand?

I think it's quite widely known how crude and harsh Thai jails can be.To then proceed with ANY type of illegal substance then you get exactly what you deserve.

Next … riding without helmets and without a valid licence. Straight to jail as they are law breakers, and they will get exactly what they deserve!

In case drunkenness influences voters to tick the wrong box in Thailand‘s upcoming elections, alcohol sales will be banned nationwide for two Saturdays next month – early voting day and Election Day.

But Thais can still go get medicinally HIGH those days …. As nice and legal to go and do that.

But it knows some details:

All about Cohen, ….. nothing about proof of Trump. Would not the lawyer do Anything to keep the account? I wonder if a question was asked and a defamatory statement was made, who would be held responsible?

a lawyer, said on his Facebook page today

Only a lawyer …. Not a Thai police or Govt statement …. Thai government would do nothing to upset the Chinese Tourist golden egg cart. Could TAT sue this lawyer for defaming Chinese tourists by his scaremongering?

Only reason nothing done about this as it doesn’t happen to Chinese, like when like happens on boat trips..

From what the Chiang Mai IMO emailed me yesterday, got mine today.

Documents to be submitted

1. Application form

2. Copy of applicant’s passport

3. Evidence of income such as a retirement pension, interest or dividends; and/or

4. Account  deposited  (saving / fixed account) certificate issued by a bank in Thailand and a copy of a bankbook

5. Only in the case of Criterion (6), the applicant must submit documents equivalent to Clauses 1-4 stated above.

6.Copy of foreigner registration certificate (TM.30)

7. Departure card (TM.6)

8.Notification 90 days report appointment.

I still did overkill with 12 month statement, bank letter and copy of bank book. I have 800k sitting in account so number 4 applies to me. But it was a Wild West show in Chiang Mai IMO this morning but I was in and out in an hour.

Walk in. There is a car park to rear. Two desks open, you need the office directly facing the road. Think we only took passport and the bit of paper you get after second jab.

Incidentally if you scan the QR code you get on the paper after the second jab in to Line you also get a snazzy version of your vaccination records

Much appreciated for this information.

I understand that their are others but we went to the health clinic directly opposite the Suriwong Book centre on Sridonchai Road. SE corner of the moat.

Did you have to make an appointment? Or just walk up with vaccine certificate/details?

So next will be vaccination certificate as proof to enter Thai Government department like Immigration.

Imagine the moaning on here if that occurred.

Great, so can you explain to me why most of the incoming flights are canceled today?

Because of the dark red zone lock down and airlines decision not to fly to Phuket. Smile is the only one flying I believe (without going to the site and look).
