I don't know how @Schuimpge did it, but I found a Thai income tax calculator - here ... https://www.uobam.co.th/en/tax-calculation This includes deductibles.

Last I read, he is being sued for defamation by the new PM.

Investigation into the activities of the 2-I-C (sorry, second in command) of the Thai police force is not (IMO) "everyday stories". I have seen no evidence to indicate whether or not BJ is a "Good Guy" or not. But, regarding the "everyday stories", it does seem to me that the defamation laws prevent honest reporting. Reporters/People can be imprisoned, even if they tell the truth. Not to mention LM laws.

When Barclays informed me that my accounts would be closed (after over 40+ years of being in credit and having a regular income) I was livid. I had an authorised available overdraft of 8,000 GBP which I never used, so I was tempted to withdraw my balance and max out my overdraft, and let them go to the expense of clawing it back - probably not even possible. I immediately went to my online banking app and found that my authorised overdraft had been reduced to 10 GBP.

One of the reasons why investigative reporting is rare here in Thailand ... https://cpj.org/data/killed/asia/thailand/?status=Killed&motiveConfirmed[]=Confirmed&motiveUnconfirmed[]=Unconfirmed&type[]=Journalist&type[]=Media Worker&cc_fips[]=TH&start_year=1992&end_year=2023&group_by=location

When you post anything on Aseannow you need to be prepared to receive funny, sarcastic, insulting, and crazy replies. But, most often (IME) you will get the helpful and constructive information you are seeking.

I am no plant expert, but came across your topic by chance, and did a goooogle. Quite a few results on Lazada, with good reviews ... https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/artemisia-annua-seed/

Shoes with rubber soles are the answer. Loads of information here ... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=best+footwear+for+working+on+a+slippery+surface

I wore them for work for 30 years in all weathers, never a slip. The most comfortable shoes/boots I ever wore too. I can't think of any other "dress shoe" with better grip.

At 75 years of age a fall and broken hip could ruin your life. You don't need to abandon your dress code, just find something smart with a grippy sole ... Dr Marten's brogues

I think you spelled bargirls wrong. ????

Most of the time I wear rubber soled deck shoes or loafers. I've never slipped or even felt at risk but, when we're out shopping, my daughter complains of electric shocks when she touches me. Around here (Sattahip) there are plenty of shops where you need to take off your shoes before entering. In stockinged feet walk slowly and flat-footed or risk a fall.

Not this time. Somebody of great influence has stepped in, and nobody will defy him (IMHO).

About 2-3 weeks ago the local radio station was reporting that the Limitation of Proceedings in the case was due to expire on 10 September 2023. If that is correct, he is going to get away scot-free.

I could agree that the general public has no right to details of his private medical situation. However, he is a prisoner released into the custody of the hospital and (according to the article) the Justice Minister has not been given details. How can this be acceptable?

It's impossible to speak out against the decision to reduce TS's prison sentence. Further clemency will also go unchallenged, for the same reason. News of the investigation into Srettha's crooked land deal has suddenly gone quiet, and Chuwit is silent since being threatened with a defamation suit. All is back to normal in this LoS.

I'm starting to think that he is a troll. Says something obnoxious to get a reaction, then enjoys sparring with other members. I won't be feeding him again.

The UK does have a double taxation treaty with Thailand https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/507424/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf The pension issue is not a taxation issue. Yes, that sucks!
