Do you know the source of the many homeless? Is it the illegal immigration?

Quote from above: "But if you want to see and experience the worst of it in Thailand - drive the highway between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai - I was genuinely scared - it was unbelievable - get out of their way quickly or you die. Not just the minivans - it was trucks and utes too." I couldn't agree more: get out of the way quickly or you die. They coming right at you in your lane.

True. Land Dept was aware that not everybody here in Thailand would be telling the truth, so they established the transfer tax as described above: Tax "Assessed Value) (not competitive market value) and years of possession. They will ignore a claimed sales price below Assessed value, but I think accept a claimed sales price higher than market value (which simply increases the tax owed). So the transfer tax is not based upon any true Capital gain.

Agree with that statement. But, add something I had already posted before: CCP wants a foothold in Thai waters with advisors, maintainers (& spies) onsite in Thailand. Thai PM probably felt pressure by CCP to buy a CCP product (bad strategic move for Thailand) or risk losing the downpayment as well as CCP cordiality. A better bet would have been for Thailand to pursue surplus US Navy Coastal patrol vessels, like the following: U.S. Navy’s Mark VI and 40-foot Patrol Boat Updates - Naval News Navy Decommissions 3 Cyclone Patrol Craft; Looking to Shelve Mark VI Patrol Boat - USNI News US transfers trio of Navy coastal patrol boats to Egypt following joint training | Stars and Stripes PH Navy gets 2 ex-Cyclone patrol ships from US Navy | Philippine News Agency (pna.gov.ph)

Agree 100%.

But the Biden Administration won't like hearing that.

Clarification: YES Highlighted - by the very fact that aseannow selects for inclusion in their daily news emails this guys yearning for attention waste of time spamming crap (& that's exactly what it is).

My first impression /knee jerk reaction, is that expecting 180 day+ residents to voluntarily "..file taxes in Thailand yearly and claim exemption", would be an administrative nightmare.

Why does aseannow highlight this guys never ending crap? Perhaps they think it brings interest and ultimately paid advertising.

Exactly

Quote Pon-ThaiCapitalist: "OR sees limited impact from Bt2/liter cut in marketing margin, as retail fuel sale a/c for only 30% of profit, and an expected 60% growth in jet fuel sales should help more than offset, keeps 10% revenue growth target. Comment: OR Is going to be a dog until oil prices crash."

Skypark Lucean Jomtien Pattaya | Live Your Life High Jomtien Second Rd, a few hundred meters from intersection with Tappraya. Heading south it's on the right, ie on the north bound lane approaching Tappraya.

But it's explicitly defined to be near the world renowned "Tinnie's Pies. Everybody knows where that is. Surely somebody in "Tinnie's Pies" can speak English.

When I exited CM airport 11Sep I asked at the transport counter near the exit for a number for future pickup. Theu gave me a card for NAKORNLANNA Co. LTD with PH# 065-439-8467. Perhaps the same Co? Which better price? They told me the zone CMU-Phucome Hotel area pickup & transport to airport would be 250 Baht.

Correction, he was a POL Major general: Pol. Maj. Gen. Paween Pongsirin arrived in Melbourne Dec 2015. “Are you Thai?": Cops question police chief fleeing to Australia in fear of life (coconuts.co)

Ya, who know for sure what is happening. But this has the foul smell of retribution by people BJ may have gotten to close to in one of his investigations. I don't have the details of a prior story immediately at hand but remember the cop (LTC I think) who had to flee for his life to Australia to avoid higher-ups' retribution.

In the military only Officers can.

Agree, but just to clarify /avoid confusion, the LTR annual address report should use TM95 not TM47.

The beach?

Those folks whose home country has a DTA with Thailand are exempt. Quote The program will begin January 1, 2024 and apply only to tax residents in Thailand meaning tourists and short term workers will be exempt. Also exempt will be those who have been taxed in a foreign country that has a standing Double Tax Agreement with Thailand. The list of countries that Thailand has a DTA with are at below Thai Revenue Dept webpage. https://www.rd.go.th/english/766.html

MangoKorat was referring to those that already have prostate cancer, advanced or early asymptomatic. Older men could indeed have an early otherwise slow growing asymptomatic prostate cancer and be none the wiser about its presence. Testosterone could speed up the malignant growth.

At BHC (Chiang Mai} there is a record of some folks with a VA approved Service Connected disability getting treated for non approved conditions and then not paying for it. VA of course did not reimburse BHC, and BHC is understandably not happy about dealing with it.

Quote "You have to be a very special category of US veteran." As far as I understand it, if you are not a retiree, what you have to be is someone who a VA doctor has examined and officially determined that you have a condition considered to be "Service Connected" condition. Then, only that condition is covered by the VA.
