It definitely needs to be done.   Too many tourists as well as expats feel they're immune to the traffic laws

 

 

What? just like everyone else

Male  ☐

Female ☐

Delusional ☐

As a long-stay expat, would a Wise card used in this way allow you to withdraw THB from ATM's in Thailand without it registering on the TRD's radar for possible tax? There's no passport involved to identify you when using an ATM, just your name and card number, and the Wise card would be issued in the UK, so the TRD have no obvious way of linking the Joe Bloggs withdrawing 20K Baht/day from various ATM's with the Joe Bloggs who's been living here for 20-odd years and might be liable for Thai tax on the funds he remits to Thailand.

Check Wise cash withdrawal limits before you make lifestyle changes on the strength of this

Well I suppose there had to be one somewhere

As long as it's "probably" against "probably" here's my two cents (and trust me I talk from some knowledge on the matter):
In cases with as much publicity as in this one IB dumps their "interpreter/translator" help without as much of a how do you do. The guy would find himself with a cancelled visa the next day. Yet he's gone away with what should be criminal charges and imminent deportation.
(Not to mention these guys don't drunk-brag "I'm the tor mor", no. Too stupid even for a Brit.)
No good sir, we're dealing with a Snitch here. Good old snitch, inflated to the point of self-explosion yet still too valuable for the IB to be dumped 😂

My immediate summation too

There have been similar wannabees in the past (I recall a delusional running around with Pattaya Police some years back)

They usually follow the same route, being fronted up as the farang agent provocateur in raids etc, general grass/informant which denigrates into their deluded belief that they hold actual sway/powers

The 'do you know who I am/who I know' all fades to nothing - as here - when their egotistical outbursts sublimate into media exposure

Only ever so harrowed....

next!

TBH a sane-thinking person would deem it a child's prank

Hey, there actually are some villas in Thailand, in fact a complete Italian village - not far from my villa (house) 😁. Not sure if the tower leans though 😁.

 

Its actually quite a sight as you pass by and see an entire Italian village on the hillside. You can be forgiven for wondering if someone slipped something into your drink last night.

Are you sure its even a law?  

depends which 'Law' you're referring to:

The one on the statute books

or

the one that they would like to be there/or have just dreamt up
