Thai Coffee Mogul Prayudh Gets 24-Year Sentence for Land Scandal
This guy can't keep out of the news lately, first the Nestle / Nescafe issues and now this. It's never a good idea to annoy powerful enemies, especially if you have some skeletons. Lets see how many days he does inside.

50-100k EUR transfer
Correct so it doesn't matter if he's tax resident or not. But if some auditor decides he owes tax on it then it's best to keep documents proving the source of funds - accountants get very excited over 'source of funds' these days. It's almost like they get together and make up a load of rules for us to enrich the accountancy profession. Source of funds does matter because if that 100k Euro came from selling some shares you bought 30 years ago in Apple then you're being taxed on it if resident in the year when they were sold. If it's an inheritance then there is no tax, plus it would already have been taxed in the source country. Also small amount so irrelevant

Blair says current net zero policies 'doomed to fail'
All that new demand for electricity and no way to produce it. They really dropped the ball by abandoning nuclear energy. Absolute muppets, all of them. They should have been pumping billions (every year) into research and development to make them smaller, more modular and safer by using different fuels.

Concerns Mount Over Uyghur Detainees in Thailand Facing Deportation
I think we all know how this is going to turn out - they already stated their position is not to annoy the Chinese government. Those 2 who did the bombing should be executed though so no deportation for them.

Bristol Chef Leaves Thai Hospital After Devastating Road Crash
Surely they should pay for his treatment unless it was his fault, in which case he should pay for any damage to their vehicle. Someone is liable here, insurance or not. I guess he's lucky it's only £30k if it has been determined that he has to pay for it himself.

income tax question
If you stay less then 180 days in the first year then you are correct, you will not be a tax resident and you can submit as much money as you want - millions or tens of millions - doesn't matter although you're going to lose interest on any extra, but that might be worth it. Personally when I become a tax resident again, perhaps in 2030 or some time around there I will have enough cash on hand inside Thailand already to last me the next 5 to 10 years in cash (banks,etc) ...assuming I can bear the thought of remitting that amount from places where it is earning decent returns..... In Thailand I have only come across things like government bonds which have derisory returns The goal for me is to pay zero tax, ever.

Chinese National Arrested at Airport for Murder & Dismemberment of Transgender in Pattaya
I would hedge that this guy didn't cut the heart and lung out of any of his his first victims. His entire history of movement needs examining. In the Thai language news it is being reported that the lung was not intact, suggestions he may have ate some of it.

HSBC Expat no longer accepting clients in Thailand
So for some reason people who live in Thailand are tarnished by the country. What have Thailand done that has made the place so unimaginably hostile to this bank that the literal very same bank that laundered cartel money for decades will not do small and simple business with those of us who just happen to live in Thailand?

Indian Tourist Causes Uproar at Bangkok Hotel Over Credit Card Dispute
The simple uneducated man in the video has no idea what a pre-auth hold is and how long it takes for it to 'get released' which will vary based on his bank and a number of other factors. It is not instant and many of the less intelligent people in the world immediately start screaming about being scammed, calling the police, etc - merely for what amounts to nothing more than a pre-authorisation on a credit card. People should really learn about the payment systems they use.

Thai PM Tackles Overstaying Tourists with Visa-Free Scheme Revamp
What complete nonsense, more will overstay with reduced number of days. Nobody's coming to Thailand on a 30 or 60 day visa exempt entry and starting a business and then working illegally. But if they do then there's an entire police force - the immigration police who are already tasked with doing the job of detecting this activity, making arrests and prosecuting offenders - just like in every other country on earth. Are the police not doing their job - can't be bothered or something?
