There's a lot of that about recently, I note that this Senator is a Republican which tells us a lot about the unhinged one making the threats.

Special rules for special people! Anything illegal can be prosecuted, especially if you happen to be a foreigner - task forces will be formed, SWAT teams despatched, etc, etc

Are you saying they should double down and make crime illegal?

It is the governments problem, not yours or mine.

The problem is - there won't be enough - and that sounds like a great problem to have - but it's not.

The problem arises when everyone else who currently purchases Nestle products swaps over to what you used to buy. Or maybe they simply switch to some kind of tea instead, regardless of what they change to - this is so big that it will affect supply chains.

Why? Because it is a bad look if he is tortured and murdered live on TV. I'm sure we've all seen the other ISIS videos which were circulating a few years back, he would get the same treatment. That's exactly what will happen if they get their hands on him and it's merely due to who he is. This demands the highest level of protection possible regardless of his personal opinions. I hate the whinging leftist views but this guy does need protecting from the enemies of the state - he is a very high value target and every move he makes will be watched by the enemies of the state.

He is still the Kings son, the Jihadists would love to get their hands on him and as such regardless of what he says or does he should be adequately protected from the enemies of the British State.

Yes, they are. The dispute between Nestle and their partners is making things spicy. The supply chain is being cut and it's nothing to do with tariffs.

Yes, see my post above about airside arrests. Something quite insidious is going on here. Not entirely sure why yet but we will find out one day. It's not new, been happening for at least a few years now.

Oh, I'm not worried, my visas are sorted until the 2040s with my Thailand Elite membership but I really don't like what I see going on, especially in Phuket. I heard elsewhere that it's now routine IN PHUKET for immigration to allow people to pass through into the departure area known as 'airside' where a whole different set of laws apply which is when they 'move in' for the arrest.

Reminds me of the word nuclear, this is one of the worst, even among native English speakers.

Just kids having fun

Don't worry, Thailand will still get plenty of money from their tariffs, no need to even come to Thailand to get ripped off by them 🤣

Same goes for the officers, but more so.

That's quite a strange name isn't it : Thitiporn

All this over a million Baht, it's like the peasants arguing over chickens.

In a very busy are there will always be some fighting, it's just human nature. If they really want to get rid of it completely they know what they need to do - shut it all down, close the airport and return peace to the people, of course they will have no jobs so they will need to leave and work elsewhere - but it will be very quiet, all the time. Problem solved.

They make up their own laws in Phuket and based on dozens of such reports - it is designed to inflict maximum penalty, pain and cost on the overstayer. Remember - this demonstrates exactly how much they love us!

According to the video yes, the Thai woman sitting next to him is one of the accountants who works at his company and they've been directly talking to the RD for a year about this kind of thing. Ignore Carden himself, consider him the mouthpiece here, the bunch of Thai tax accountants he has working for his company are the ones providing the information - he's just communicating it in plain English.

Apart from all those arrested for having sex, kissing in public and smuggling cocaine sure - there's no crime in Dubai

Not my interpretation but from the youtube video - so you're going out on a limb here and saying that Carden from AITA and his Thai accountant colleague are talking nonsense? Interesting, how do they get away with such lies if this is the case? And why would they?

Well if you want to reap the billions every year from mass tourism it's a simple fact that some of the dregs of society will come and do what they do best - make problems.

That's where the 'equal treatment' part kicks in and it may be dependent on double taxation agreements specifying that foreigners be treated in the same way as Thai citizens when it comes to Thai law. The relevant part of the Revenue code is Section 42, sub section 25 : So if they don't tax Thais on it and there's an 'equality' clause in the DTA then if foreigners are treated the same as Thais as explained in the video I linked above - all pensions from countries where this equality is guaranteed in the DTA should have the very same law applied. I spelled it out here as the specific section / sub section is buried deep in the video and I know hardly anyone will watch it. In the video he speaks about 'non discrimination clauses' in the DTAs This is from the youtube transcript : He then goes on to talk about 'sending it up the chain' inside the Revenue Department - I really think he's onto something here.

You know it's generally empty in there this time of year right?
