Accident Cow Transport Truck Crashes into Truck Carrying Animal Feed
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident occurred on the morning of 19 May, when a 10-wheel truck transporting cattle collided with the rear of an 18-wheeler truck carrying animal feed. The crash resulted in the death of one individual and left another seriously injured. The incident took place at approximately 06:00 on Rama II Road, outbound at kilometre marker 51, in the leftmost parallel lane near Moo 2, Na Khok subdistrict, Mueang district, Samut Sakhon province. Police Lieutenant Sukkrit Suriwong, Investigating Officer at Bang Thorat Police Station, was alerted to the crash and immediately dispatched a rescue team from the Samut Sakhon Charity Foundation along with emergency medical responders. On arrival, they discovered a Hino 10-wheel truck, registered in Phetchaburi, fully loaded with cattle, which had slammed into the rear of an 18-wheeler from Nakhon Pathom. The trailer had overturned, spilling numerous sacks of animal feed across the road. Two people were trapped inside the cattle truck, the driver and a passenger. Rescue workers used hydraulic cutting equipment to extricate them. The driver was critically injured and received first aid at the scene before being rushed to Mahachai 1 Hospital. Unfortunately, the front-seat passenger had sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. It reportedly took emergency crews around 30 minutes to retrieve the body from the wreckage. According to eyewitnesses, the 18-wheeler had been preparing to turn into a nearby factory when the crash occurred. A loud bang was heard as the rear of the lorry was struck with such force that the trailer flipped onto its side. Witnesses immediately contacted the police. Relatives of the victims stated that the cattle truck had been travelling back to Phetchaburi after purchasing cattle in the northeastern region of Thailand. Police have since collected evidence from the scene and taken witness statements. Further investigations will involve questioning the drivers and examining CCTV footage from the area to determine the exact cause of the crash and to pursue any necessary legal action.

Economy Anthrax Outbreak Halts Thai Beef Exports to Vietnam, Border Trade Suffers Massive Losses
Picture courtesy of Amarin An outbreak of anthrax in livestock has caused a major disruption to Thailand’s border trade, with beef exports to Vietnam suspended indefinitely. The halt has triggered an estimated monthly loss of nearly 500 million baht. While the northeastern border province of Nakhon Phanom has not recorded any anthrax infections, it has nonetheless been severely impacted by the disease’s spread in other regions. Nakhon Phanom plays a key role in the export of live cattle through the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, connecting Thailand to Khammouane province in Laos, a crucial route for beef exports to Vietnam. Reports indicate that Vietnam has been importing around 10,000 head of cattle per month from Thailand, generating a monthly trade value of between 300 and 500 million baht. Each animal is valued between 50,000 and 80,000 baht, making the trade a vital source of income for Thai cattle farmers. In the past two months alone, exports peaked at 15,000 cattle per month. However, Vietnam has now suspended beef imports from Thailand due to growing concerns over the anthrax outbreak, effectively freezing trade via the border checkpoint. Authorities warn that if the situation is not resolved quickly, financial losses could exceed half a billion baht per month. In response, the Department of Livestock Development, in collaboration with Nakhon Phanom provincial officials and relevant agencies, has initiated urgent talks with counterparts in Laos and Vietnam to resume the trade as soon as possible. Efforts are also being made to bolster disease prevention measures, reassure buyers, and establish new standards to restore confidence in the safety of Thai livestock. Authorities are simultaneously encouraging Thai farmers to continue and expand cattle breeding efforts, given Vietnam’s sustained demand. Officials stress that the Vietnamese market remains a significant opportunity for Thai beef producers and are working to ensure long-term stability in cross-border livestock trade.

Report Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
Sure they could remit whatever they wanted while non resident or in fact forever after they earned the money in a previous year - while non resident. Is this attempting to close the 'can remit forever' part of this? I doubt it as it's savings from a non resident year - but it might be, who knows. Also they seem to have extended it to the year after non residency as well as the year of non residency. How about people who've been non resident for many years - are they going to tax them if they return? The whole thing as usual is as clear as mud. Whatever they do it's to raise additional revenue - not less.
