No need, Switzerland is the happiest country in the world. Lived an worked there a quarter of a century. Israel was great to be a student and contribute to the raghead chase around the Sinai.

Indeed, he chased off trespassers from his property, and gave the finger to an ambulance, what else?

Is the minister of interior obstructing the course of justice? How can a matter follow its course in court while Anustin states he will decide on the outcome. Thailand definitely is a great democracy, the Land of the free.

Why on earth, you reckon that having to leave this sad place is an opportunity you'd love to be be given too?

OP u should have given a third option "I have no idea". Anyhow, I believe that our friend Urs deserves a slap on the wrist that's all. Unless we agree to deport all foreigners who have committed a minor DUI, run a dark orange light, etc.. I don't understand why so many here want to have him executed, probably a lot of guilty consciences.. I don't see any reason why people would be jealous of this poor sod.

???? Incomprehensible gibberish...

Indeed, I can easily imagine the whole doctor story to be a setup, and the tremendous pressure this guy was/is under making him an easy prey.

I reckon a TM95 would have helped.

I like the "GUTS" sign... Poor sod, ate some of the legendary "street food", got sick, $hat himself and panicked. Only Thai food is to blame here. You see?

Without deductions one gets to 17% with 1.7 Million, so add to that the 300k to 400k deductions, a normal taxpayer reaches 17% of net income with an annual income of 2.1 Million Baht.

Sounds like a lost paradise, I have fond memories of Oz in the eighties, when everything was just right, easy, warm, beautiful and welcoming.

I envy you Bob. I don't take the risk with steaks here, even grossly overdone they won't refund the 2500 THB for prime Kiwi beef. And I set my limit for wine at 2000. But seriously, most of ewes are probably single, but with a family of four on 300k a month I can feel my SOL shrinking these days...

Are you working at Wat Phra Wai Tae?

No it is much lower than that, about 2 Million.

Totally. But Israel should be there too.

Right 100%, and I don't think any of the Lellows should be trusted, they are too much of a racist bunch IMHO. One of those situations where Wokeism can lead to doom.

Worrying low numbers...

I like that 17% figure, without any "schadenfreude". IMHO a fair income tax system would be one where where tax would kick in, at a lower rate of 3% to 5% of total income and no one would pay more than 15% to 20%. I think I'd be ok I think if they taxed my foreign income at 17%.

U sure about that? I got laid a lot in my HS years, University, and service back in Israel, was seen as healthy.. On the other hand there are plenty of girls on Thai Friendly who post they don't want to hear about sex.

You must be right, a real shame that the do it only this time of the year.

W.I.P

They have a validation service and a lookup service. The validation service ensures that the ID entered matches the requirements of a given country. Just try to enter a number that isn't a Thai PIN or TIN. I have haven't tried the lookup service, obviously, as I don't have a file at the RD yet.

Just went out and saw a few people watering the road.. Thai culture I suppose?

You know that this all BS from an entitled crybaby, don't you? The bruise shown on the pic was hardly noticeable, and any doctor or nurse can inject herself H2O with a micro needle if they want to get nicely useful bruises.

I couldn't see how this paper proves that no TIN is required, but reading it led me to think that there must be on-line resources to verify TINs, and indeed I found this one within a couple of minutes. It needs basic registration and you get five free shots. I could check my wife's as well as my own PIN numbers and they checked just fine. So each country deploys it's own Web Service and all countries use a common WSDL (Web Service Definition Language), we used to say "weezdle", in our IT jargon. The documentation of the of the Thai service is here. The Tin Check application above just calls the relevant services based on country code, it passes the number and receives the status. So lets be careful with assumptions that RD won't be able to corner us, the more I look into it the more I see that work has been done.
