Thai police raid drug-fuelled party at luxury villa, 34 arrested

Who would have thought that neighbours who were sick of the noise from a party house would grass them up? -
Anutin urges Phuket officials to get tough with foreign offenders
mokwit replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
UK. It seems that it is something that is not illegal under any law but the Police decide to have a word with you because he felt it was wrong. Generally applies to people saying something that might hurt the feelings of minorities. Meanwhile if your house is burgled they are too busy to follow up on it. -

A country megaphoning about revoking visas it has issued is not a good look. -

Don't argue when they try and price gauge you or you will have your visa revoked. You not pay I get Poleet cancen wisa you -
The problems may come from another direction. Right now my US broker allows me to tick a box that says Thailand issues TIN's but I am not legally required to have one, which was true, but no longer is if the letter of the law is followed. So it could be if Thai tax resident but no TIN no keeping account. Probably many more examples like this.
-
OK looks like I am wrong, and maybe US broker requires TIN because I am non US client

It was more that that was a stipulation of the law as written (brought in by an earlier set of generals) along with TM28 but they dropped it as unworkable. It is amazing how they can override the law if they want to.

You will.

Common Reporting Standard. The Common Reporting Standard (CRS), developed in response to the G20 request and approved by the OECD Council on 15 July 2014, calls on jurisdictions to obtain information from their financial institutions and automatically exchange that information with other jurisdictions on an annual basis. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Common+Reporting+standard

The danger is when it becomes fully automated. Right now the RD is not set up to deal with foreigners and are reluctant to do so.

British backpacker murderers make fresh appeal against sentence (video)
mokwit replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Apparently there are two? main family groups running bars etc there and you can avoid supporting a certain family group by carefully selecting which establishments you patronise. The family that had a son gunned down in broad daylight are not believed to have been involved. Drawing on info from the CSI whatever facebook here, not direct personal experience, but the point was made that by avoiding KT altogether you are punishing others who were not involved. -
Square Face is notoriously strait laced - seems his family brought their 'little village in China' village values with them when they came to Thailand and then when he came to power he forced them on the Thais.

Being pressured to pay off wife's mother's large debt.
mokwit replied to Aust24R's topic in Family and Children
The Thai horn of plenty - the cup that endlessly refills - especially if you have built your house on land Mama owns - pay off the debt or lose the house to the money lender, then they rinse and repeat. you can refuse to pay but then your girlfriend will be in a permanent mope - how can she be happy she will tell you when she has this "ploblem"? of course yours *COULD* be different. -
I would guess with the push for tourism and Srettha visiting AirBnB here, the intention is probably to relax the law. Obviously the hotel industry stands in the way of that. Fact is with the increased difficulty of staying here long term due to visa tightening over the years without the huge number of people coming in compensating for that, and ST lets, there would be a lot more empty condos and less demand to buy new ones for letting out.
-
Increased wear and tear from endless streams of wheelie luggage groups and usage such as pool which ST letters use disproportionately. Also at our expense in terms of decreased quality of living environment. Facilities which we should really have with that number of unregistered strangers coming through e.g a hotel with fewer rooms than my condo has plainclothes security watching out for possible threats. Staff having to be diverted to e.g. check if fire escape doors are jammed open to circumvent key card security.

Visa-Free Policy Expected to Triple Chinese Arrivals in Thailand
mokwit replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
In a few years Thais will be working in China. -
At CW they have always* required/accepted just a letter from the banks stating your name, account number and name. I also hand over a 1 years statement as the account is an inactive dedicated account and it has never been handed back. In terms of the law the legal document is the bank book and this is what goes to the senior IO whose signature is on the extension- the letter is just to support the veracity of the bank book - I had a IO look at mine sideways on once to check i hadn't added pages (I assume). *last 10 years anyway.

Illegal Immigrant Workers are Taking Over Thai Jobs in Tourist Areas
mokwit replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In the Lower Sukhumvit Free Trade Zone I see foreign worker numbers/ratios that I can't see how are supported under the labour laws. I also see shops and restaurants entirely staffed with non Thais when these are protected under the labour laws.. My condo has 2 Burmese but there are four Thais also. -
