so, there's hope 555. Unfortunately - you can smile at ignorant posts - it is the cranky posters who are more annoying.

The longer I stay in Thailand, the more I learn that Thailand is a Buddhist nation in name only. Of course, expecting any Thai to take responsibility for anything is a waste of time, even trying to save someone's life.

thanks Barry, I've decided to minimize the sources of news like this. so Im loggin off.

Considering this is the second time I’ve seen you quote the wrong post in a few days, I’m thinking that it’s you who has ‘trouble’. I don’t expect that you could do better. You are clearly already doing your best.

judging by some of today's xenophobiac posts, Aseannow is going downhill fast. 

yes, it is. and with a Goodgle ad coming up, every time you post, Aseannow is getting to not be worth the price of admission.

Dont have to go far  just walk out of Phuket HQ and off you go 

What do you expect letting all the Trust fund / seedy Ruskys in due to running from Puton. 

Set up shop on new ground 

And just give them more incentive by giving them 90 day visa on arrival. 

They just dont get it  the   Thai government its always a quick fix that always bites them in the arse then when its to late the try to fix it. 

 

Phuket is going to  be a melting pot and be a big issue  i was going to move there not now ruined  by a few cultures that like to take over anywhere the go  and the thai government let it happen. 

When the war is over and all the trust fund babies can go home Phuket will be a ghetto and the ones that do stay you dont want anyway 

judging by some of today's xenophobiac posts, Aseannow is going downhill fast.

I am surprised and disapointed how much we stamp people bad, just by their country or looks ...

"certain Nationalities that you just do not want in your society. They contribute nothing. Russians, Nigerians, Albanians,, Romas" , "black people from Africa in certain areas in Thailand. Working profile: drugs and prostitution", " Irish mafia and the pedophiles from Europe " 

Are the majority of the people not good ? and doesn't have every country bad people ??

If a gouvernement just try to correct / judge these peopel on the right way, is that not enough instead of we judging and pointing ower neighbours from other countries ?

it's the old addage - ''don't judge the book by its cover''. in this case, feel free to judge this particular poster by his lack of intelligence.

There are those, generally speaking, of certain Nationalities that you just do not want in your society. They contribute nothing. Russians, Nigerians, Albanians,, Romas, radicals to name a few. 

 

Yet, they get in everywhere. Its bad enough to have your own native thugs and scum without importing further problems.

enough of that kind of thing. some of my best friends are from a few of those countries. speaking of which -there's a fair representation of foreign mafia on Phuket from Britain. stupid is as stupid does.

It's hilarious watching all the AN grumps getting so triggered whenever Thailand wins some (obscure) accolade.

It beats watching telly. 

That must have been a FAT brown envelope of Danish krone/crowns.

Despite all the fake concern.Those 'in control ' of Thailand dont give a flying f*** for its citizens.

unless you are a HI-So travelling abroad and run into another Thai who gives you the finger. LOVED that story.

Internationally, Thailand is irrelevant and useless. Thailand doesn't stand for anything. Thailand can't even find any fault or censure when 33 Thai citizens are killed in Israel/Gaza.  

i didnt notice any censure, either,  by Thailand over its nationals who died from the conditions they worked under, building the Qatar world cup facilities.

This is Thailand. Most important to be aware of your surroundings and stay under the radar.🙃🙃

strikes me that things are getting worse. has happened to me with my car, in Patong, years ago. (no violence, as I paid a ''fee'' after getting threatened) . things appear to be getting out of control when its Thai on Thai. Every time something, anything happens to tourists, the British scandal mags report it - and another knockout blow for the tourist industry.

That is not my read of the Thai RD guidline - but it could be correct in how the Thai RD actually acts:

 

Section 56 Every taxpayer except a minor or a person adjudged incompetent or quasi-incompetent shall, on or before the last day of March every year, file to the official appointed by the Minister a tax return reporting the assessable income received in the preceding tax year in the form prescribed by the Director-General, if such person-

(1) has no spouse and has the assessable income of the preceding tax year exceeds 60,000 baht,

(2) has no spouse and has the assessable income of the preceding tax year under only Section 40 (1) exceeds 120,000 baht,

(3) has a spouse and the assessable income of the preceding tax year exceeds 120,000 baht, or

(4) has a spouse and the assessable income of the preceding tax year under only Section 40 (1) exceeds 220,000 baht.

 

That 60K figure I think is 'lost in translation' as 150K is the tax free threshold.

Section 40 is all about Assesable Income.

Chapter 3 Income Tax | The Revenue Department (English Site) (rd.go.th)

 

All Thai Laws (Tax, Immigration, etc etc) and the Thai RD Guidelines, are very 'interpretable'.  The reason is because the Thai Legal System (Courts) are not based on what we call 'Common Law' and they do not base their rulings on past 'Precedents'.  Unlike our systems which are very rigid and defined, with rulings going back hundreds of years, the Thai legal system is basically a case by case situation.  Perhaps I have not explained that enough before, when trying to explain to some posters that 'those words do not mean what you think they mean'.  That is the reason why in Thailand any Immigration Officer or Policeman can make a decision - within certain limits.

 

I personally like some parts of that legal system - IMO a 1960 Toyota rustbucket with balding tyres being driven by a 70 year old woman and going at 100Kms is far more dangerous than a brand new Mercedes SL500 driven by a 40 year old man going at 130Km.  In Thailand you can talk to the Policeman and 'sort things out' (even slip a few baht) - but it the west the very dangerous Toyota is ignored and the Mercedes is impounded - because the legal definition of dangerous driving is 20+km over the limit.

To what do you refer? The ‘seller with the questionable ability to do his sums’ has had their post removed. 
The link that I have posted has a few recommendations here already. You can buy direct from website, via Shopee, via LINE. 
Of course the THC figures are completely made up, but it should as good or better than the brick weed the OP purchased earlier, according to the reviews on this board. 

you misunderstood my attempt at humor -  or I must have been obtuse.  I was assuming the seller uses so much weed that he cannot calculate a multiple of his per unit selling price.
