Perhaps that was only your experience when you went.

Well I certainly know of one, and a rich one at that, who was planning on moving here next year, buying a condo upwards of THB60M. Not happening now, until there is clarification either way, so the implications, (and cost) can be assessed. I imagine it is a thought being held by many, especially the rich SE Asians and Chinese who would make up the majority of the overseas funds to buy Thai property.

Thanks. Installed it and all is well.

Thanks!

Which one? uBlock Origin seems to be the one with favourable reviews. The others less so.

I used AdBlock, but YT detected it and asked me to unblock. I did, and then reblocked. YT then informed me that I would lose all connection if I repeated using AdBlock. I was ad free for years until about 2 months ago.

We allow private usage of our pool by residents, (co-owners and tenants), per our condo by-laws, (approved at the AGM). Included in that text are the conditions, (numbers of people, times available cost etc). Anyone wishing to avail themselves of the facility have to seek permission of the management office and make a booking. In our case, the building manager would consult the committee, (including me), and I can tell you that approval would not be given for this, as it infringes the rights of all residents. You should speak to the Juristic Person Manager and your management company, and ask who has approved it. I imagine your neighbours are also rather hacked off that they are excluded too, unless they are included because it is restricted to co-owners.

Sorry, I missed out an "or" as in: "from employment outside Thailand[,] a business outside Thailand[,] or property[,] or assets outside Thailand...."

Mazars remark, (highlighted), seems to be their interpretation, not written in the translated RD Order. More amendments to drip out perhaps?

@Jingthing That is why I made my comment, as above. Until there is clarification, there are interalia tax implications that need to be addressed. The Thai RD are going to be confused enough by the new interpretations, since amended, and doubtless to be amended again.

Presumably if passed, recognition will only be of same sex "partnerships/marriages" if one of the parties is Thai. For non-Thais who have legal recognition in other countries, the discrimination would still apply.

Well, there will probably be a new government by then, so volte face all round, (from 180 to 270 degrees, depending on the time of the year, and the phase of the moon).

Above from The Telegraph today. I received my first State Pension on 31 March 2023. By the time of the increase next April, it will be GBP2000 pa more than I am getting, because mine was frozen WEF from my eligible date, (6 days prior to the increase this year).

I think they do. If you overstay your days allowed as a non resident, you will be subject to UK tax.

Assessable if.... "from employment outside Thailand[,] a business outside Thailand[,] or property assets outside Thailand...."

My interpretation, (correctly or incorrectly determined) of this new amendment is that there is essentially no change for me to that which previously existed. My overseas funds were accumulated previously to date over many years. If I draw from those savings for normal expenses in Thailand after 1 January 2024, they are exempt from Thai tax. If I transfer a large "capital" sum after 1 January 2024, I will have to show from which source, and if the source is recently acquired, it will be taxable. Currently I plan to do no such large "capital" transfers arising from assets or income after 1 January 2024.

I watched the use of the Thai residents' auto machine from my adjacent long and winding queue for departure. For the max 10 people using the three machines, many had to have a person show them how to use. God help us. And live in the country you are visiting where nudity or hygiene don't matter. Not so in Madrid, when I left last year. The check in Iberia "check in clerk" (for want of a better description), was upping and downing on my UK passport (at Business Class) as to whether I could enter Thailand. I asked him to give me my passport so I could show him my Re-entry permit, (not that it is required for a UK citizen entering Thailand).

Yeah, the tax residents....

My last trip in and out of Suvarnabhumi was like this at both departure and arrival. About an hour plus each time, and another 30 minutes plus for security clearance on departure.

Land of the free interpretation, but for a special discount of 500 baht, it can be yours for the making.

OK. I've reported it again, with the URL. I don't know whether LINE has the ability to block, as it's auto generated and probably creates another link as soon as this is blocked.

This is a case for your Building Management, Juristic Person Manager etc.

I get the usual friend request a few times per week with an image of a scantily clad woman. Easy enough to Report & Block. But since yesterday I've been receiving multiple messages from ALLIN99MVP.V99 like this: I do not even get the opportunity to Report & Block. But I report, and it returns. Today I sent a message to LINE and asked them to investigate, which they are doing. I think this is some gambling site, but I am concerned that these messages are getting through without any ability to block them. Is anyone else getting these too?
