I bet most likely None instead. If they ever spend just 3 baths out of each B300- for the purpose they talked about, it will be a Miracle. Self-interest is the primary instinct of the Money Mongers in this kingdom. And the poor is always left to fend off themselves.

Urgent Reforms Needed to further promote Thai tourism? Forget about stupid B300- rip-off tax immediately for good.

Just a few days ago, they said they need to introduce B300- tourist rip-off levy to curb Overtourism. Today, they are worrying about the Downturn of Thai Tourism?

Rwanda's foreign tourist surcharge of $1500. And it is regarded An Excellent Policy, says the WTTC boss. What a great idea. Once Thailand goes for it, it will certainly solve the issue of Overtourism immediately. As many of the potential visitors will Start to Avoid this country. Mission accomplished at the expense of the livelihood of 10 millions people(relying foreign tourism here including their families) in Thailand. Followed by the cost the govt dreads; political unrest(just like previous regime faced during Coronavirus border blockade).

Speak roughly and carry a barking Pitt Bull LOL.

Picking A Badass. And the trickster’s nightmare starts from his driver's seat. From Here To Police Jail LOL.

What a stupid article. The headline is one thing. What the texts say is another. Chinese man stabs Thai waiter for stopping sexual assault According to the title, that Chinese man sounds like a hero tried to save the would-be victim of the sexual assault case. While contents say that (those) Chinese involved are senseless thugs who attacked the waiter without any reasons.

Begging in the streets. And the administrative attempts to stop it. Prohibition of begging in the streets. Looks like a long standing issue here. I recalled the previous regime also addressed this phenomenon. Thai Junta to Issue New Law Banning Begging (khaosodenglish.com) One interesting fact: Huge differences in the Perception of Beggers from country to country. In a place like India, it is regarded legal occupation: having a right to operate as the professional money solicitor in the public place(road and squared). Also entitled to the leftover food in the public markets; the first one to be given such stuff. Among the first world, the USA legally approves the act of begging; on the grounds of the Freedom of Speech(1st Amendment to their constitution). While it is illegal in a country like Japan. Their constitution states that people of their country Must: Get education. Work and Pay Tax. And their police force often keeps blind eyes even when the homeless seeks help from the savage attacks by the strangers in Main Stream Life. Saying you are not a tax payer(therefore unable to seek help from us). Until such incidences lead to the brutal murder case...

300-baht fee for foreign tourists. This fee was intended to establish a tourism development fund. Bullshxt. Be honest and say it is just another institutionalized theft to enrich 0.1% of the privileged money mongers of the kingdom, at the expense of the foreigners who can't strike back in vote. Completely lacking transparency, who is dumb enough to believe the money robbed from the tourist will be the used for the better being of the workers in tourism sector? I was certainly not Born Yesterday.

A little computer bug can cause all the mess out there. The mechanical malfunction and there will be a half-mile line of the irritating people. And then, they might conclude: Manual processing will be better and safer. Their online 90-day report does not always work. I know quite a few people who experienced it(including myself).

M.I.B(Men In Black)Thailand. The new breed of govt agency specialized in probing aliens' out space assets & income LOL.

I strongly believe that English-speaking accounting firms are behind this stupid move(new tax things targeting foreigners) In order to capitalize the anxiety among the 1st world expats. After my out-of-curiosity queries sent to 2-3 of such establishments, they were very keen to tell me that they can arrange advisory meeting for THB5000-17000/hour. Even when tax department cannot collect any money from those whose income is already taxed elsewhere, these firms can still at least make a good amount of money by making up a useless self-interested meeting with the worrying aliens in the name of Expert Advice. It might be just one-off occasion per individual. Earlier in the 21st century, Thai govt. started to allow foreigners to buy some of their over-produced condominiums. Due to the pressure from the housing developers(that were suffering the aftermath of late 1990s Asian Currency Crisis). To me, the same thing is happening again in the different field. What other people think about?

The first time he did the things right.

If that new tax really comes into effect, the real target is the Thai civilian billionaires/ mega Thai companies openly avoiding tax payment elsewhere. Small numbers of LTR holders won't be in the scope in the first place.

You cannot judge everything in Thailand with the first world standard common sense. Here, they often exercise what is unthinkable to you back home. That is why the joke below makes us laugh and makes sense. Same Same, but Different.
