  1. More English gutter press scaremonger to get naive expats to pay for expensive tax consultants. For example, if a Thai tax resident earns foreign income in 2025 and brings it into Thailand in either 2025 or 2026, that income would not be subject to Thai personal income tax. If enacted, the amendment would overturn the current Thai tax rule that took effect on 1 January 2024. Under the current rule, any foreign income earned from that date onwards is subject to Thai personal income tax if it is brought into Thailand, regardless of the year it is remitted https://brslawyers.com/thailand-proposes-new-amendment-to-tax-rule-for-foreign-income-remittance/

  3. It's getting worse, all this misinformation from tax 'experts'. Are you a tax expat consultant trying to cause fear? There was no law change nor royal decree on Tax remittances, just an instruction to be stricter but no formal enactment. It is a proposed amendment.
  4. So I'll transfer my salary to my wife's UK account and she remit it here. As a Thai she pays no tax on it.
  5. Wondered why I've never seen women dancing at their rituals. I'm sure they'd be a good addition to the IDF
  6. Great, the more that boycott will hopefully get the message out that most of the world opposes the Israeli ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and their plans to take even more land from other neighbouring countries. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/06/hamas-israel-hunger-war-in-gaza https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-s-ben-gvir-renews-call-to-occupy-gaza-encourage-palestinian-migration/3620645 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-jewish-resettlement.html
  7. International competition is applying a double standard by banning Russia from major competitions while allowing Israel to continue participating. Israel’s military actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon – including during ceasefires – amount to far more serious violations of international humanitarian law than those cited in the Russian case. Daily civilian suffering in Gaza and ongoing violence in the West Bank should carry equal weight when international bodies decide who is permitted to compete, and I condemn what I see as hypocrisy in allowing Israel full privileges while sanctioning other nations for actions they consider comparable or even less severe.
  8. It's a downright lie. It's 2017 charter days it's struggle is against Zionism and Occupation, not Jews as a whole. You are probably thinking of charters decades ago which is wrong, t would be like me talking about the Israeli terrorists Irgun.
  9. True but Israel is behind US, UK etc. Many Orthodox rabbis teach same sex relationships are forbidden.
  10. Very few of Israeli Jews actually originated from the Greater Israel area. Netanyahu’s family originally had the surname Mileikowsky. His father Benzion was born Benzion Mileikowsky (1910) and the family adopted the Hebrew surname Netanyahu after immigrating to Palestine—their patriarch Nathan Mileikowsky began using “Netanyahu” as a pen name around 1920 and the family kept it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzion_Netanyahu?utm_source=chatgpt.com Also David Ben-Gurion Birth name: David Grün Origin: Poland Golda Meir Birth name: Golda Mabovitch Origin: Kyiv (Russian Empire) Menachem Begin Birth name: Mieczysław Biegun (or David Grünbaum / variations in different records) Origin: Poland
  11. Ironically Israel don't allow gay marriage and gays are often discriminated against. My gay friends make the Eurovision pilgrimage ever time.
  12. Ironic how Russia can't join sporting events but Israel can.
  13. True but criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.
  14. They couldn't make 20,000 lb bombs for their precision strikes on schools, mosques, hospitals in Gaza, killing tens if thousands of woman and children. They had to get from the USA.
  15. Bigger question, why are you defending these illegal, violent terrorists.
  16. Its going to be interesting to see if they continue to bre as k the ceasefire.
  17. Its going to be interesting to see if they continue to bre as k the ceasefire.
  18. Don't forget Smotrich, he's even worse. Stealing West Bank's money. The whole government is EVIL. However, since May, Bezalel Smotrich, the ultra-nationalist Israeli finance minister, has refused to sign off on the monthly transfers, in apparent retribution at Western moves to recognise Palestine as an independent state. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/12/02/west-bank-saved-from-financial-collapse-by-saudi-arabia/
  19. You've just proved not worthy of future responses.
  20. Describing an entire group of people as “losers” or defining them by acts of violence is hateful and dehumanising. Whole populations aren’t responsible for the actions of a few individuals, and comparing the “superiority” of one people over another is exactly the kind of thinking that fuels discrimination and conflict. Please don’t speak about any group like that.
  21. That’s a very racist comment. Suggesting that one group is ‘superior’ to another, culturally or otherwise, is discriminatory and harmful. It reduces whole peoples to stereotypes and fuels prejudice. Please reconsider the implications of what you’re saying.
