Woke is an adjective like any other, and controlling the way others speak epitomises the liberal left and its intolerance of criticism. You woke folk always like to position your ghastly world view as progress, while calling those who point to its obvious and proven failings as 'behind'. Where is this 'progressive' utopia? In the 'progressive' West, we see nothing but decline, societal decay and degeneracy. 'Progress' for its own sake has destroyed the countries we came from, which is probably why we came to Thailand, if we're honest with ourselves.

This post assumes that woke liberal justice works. One look at the western world proves that it doesn't.

Thailand will end up like the ghastly western world, where undisciplined children grow up into undisciplined adults.

There's no need to behave like a wally mate. All I was saying is that Thailand has adopted the CRS/AEOI, following the western world. Of course, it might take a while to catch up to western world banks, where accounts are routinely closed if tax residency information isn't provided. The fact remains that your accounts are at risk of closure if you ignore requests for this kind of information - given how difficult it is to open accounts, closure is something that most people would want to avoid, particularly those who don't mind paying their taxes.

Fly to Thailand and spend as much as you can on booze, tarts and drugs. Squander the rest (to quote a famous footballer).

Don't hold your breath. Australia is also in a sorry state, so it's a race to the bottom.

It's all part of the Common Reporting System. If you don't provide this information, be prepared to have your bank account closed with zero notice, once whatever grace period they give you expires. It happens all over the world, so have a Plan B if you're abruptly debunked.

No need to be rude, just because you are incapable of civil debate.

So you don't want Americans to be allowed in then? They've been invading sovereign states for decades now.

The vast majority of bona fide tourists stay no longer than a couple of weeks, and there are other visas for those who stay longer. It's hard to refute.

They might think the same thing about you.

Propaganda article. There's nothing fresh about her. She just does what her daddy says.

What a daft thing to do - it teaches the young that money is free and requires no effort.

You obviously haven't flown on Qantas recently.
