What bank has frozen your money and is asking you for information and documentation, your bank or the bank of your business broker, or is the business broker telling you this? You should really be more precise if you expect to get helpful advice here.

Do I understand correctly that the money is currently in the account of the "business broker" you mentioned?

The OP is in Thailand Thailand and he is looking for a UK lawyer in Thailand.

It's called Ignore, not Block. Click or tap on the Ignore button at the bottom right of the pop-up you posted.

I can't make any sense of your post. Your links to a Youtube channel and a Facebook page are of no help.

Today, breathe and perish.

Its a sad state of affairs if pollution is continually so bad that an exceptional day of lower than dangerous levels is cause for celebration.

Thank you for this interesting report. I have some questions if you don't mind. Did the Kalasin tax office call you or write to ask you to go to their office and did they specify what documents you should bring? Do the documents you printed from Barclays UK show the name of the beneficiary of the transfers and the reason for them? Who, at another meeting, required the tax official urgently to take your documents? Did you submit your bank documents only for the calendar year 2024 or for "all those years" since you arrived in Thailand? What is the status of your permission to stay, eg one-year extension for marriage, employment, retirement, etc? It will be interesting to see how this new tax collection drive from expats develops.

Good-bye ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) Hello TDAC (Thai Digital Arrival Card), including the collection of the the tourist tax from travellers who fall into one of the — yet to be defined and announced — categories subject to this tax. Excerpt from the news article TDAC system will replace TM.6 paper form, reducing immigration processing times and improving efficiency in The Nation (highlighting in bold is mine): There we have it, an elegant solution to collect the tourist tax. No details of the process are available yet, but I think it will be akin to the eVisa application. Digital arrival card is a misnomer, it is really a travel authorisation. Fill out and submit the online form a specified minimum number of days before departure. If applicable, pay the tourist tax online as the final step of the online submission of the form. Get the TDAC, with a QR code or whatever, by email and print it out. Present the TDAC at check-in. No TDAC, no boarding pass, simple as that. This requirement will have to be included in the IATA rules. On arrival in Thailand, hand over the passport, TDAC and eVisa, if applicable, to the immigration official. All we can do now is hold our breath and wait to see how this will play out.

Burma, latterly called Myanmar. It is fashionable to change the names of countries and cities. Back to the future. Cambodia —> Kampuchea Turkey —> Tūrkiye Bombay —> Mumbai etc, etc.

Not all money may have literally changed hands, but I should think that a large sum of money must have changed from the bank account of the man to whom you refer as a "fat old bald guy" to his Thai friend to pay for the land and the construction of the house.

A foreign man who is the widow of a wealthy Thai woman in not the opposite of a Thai unmarried cohabitant of a wealthy foreign man.

Not to mention, did she declare the income of that large donation to the Thai tax authorities?

What in the news article makes it sound to you like this?

I fear that boosting the economy will increase air pollution even more.

What does hormone treatment have to do with marriage equality?

A web search tells me that Finland, the latest NATO member, is covered by NATO, but do the other European NATO members agree? https://www.euronews.co m/my-europe/2025/01/23/greenland-is-covered-by-collective-security-of-nato-says-finnish-foreign-minister

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland All of a sudden, fter reading some of the posts in this topic, I am unsure whether Greenland is covered by the NATO umbrella. Does anyone know for sure?

The European NATO members must urgently and rapidly increase their defence capabilities so that they will be able to defend Greenland against occupation and annexation by the USA or Russia. For all we know, once there is a peace treaty in Ukraine, Trump may join forces with his friend Putin to occupy Greenland and share the spoils.

Yes, it would be interesting to see statistics about the number of people on one-year extensions, preferably broken down by category. I wonder if immigration makes them.

On the contrary. Tourist numbers keep increasing. Even the murderously high PM2.5 pollution levels doesn't discourage them.

I don't understand what you mean. Could you elaborate, please?
