Foreign cyclist severely injured after being hit by Phuket Airport taxi
I was referring comment to the comment " When will these foreigners in Thailand open their eyes" the photo of the rider showing he is a Thailand Pro Continental Team rider ... meaning he was not some random foreigner out for a ride in a strange land That aside of course as you said folks need to be alert but again for you also...Do you see the picture? Is it not clear to you he was struck from behind??? That aside again what needs doing is treating criminals like criminals. When someone hits someone in traffic an investigation needs to be done. Stupid excuses like brake failure need mechanical proof. ..drunk driving needs stiffer penalties... leaving the scene of an accident needs automatic jail time -

Work Permit Self Employed
With either of those visas - or even if staying on visa-exempt entries - over 180 days = taxable. A work permit does not affect this - is only used for working "In Thailand" / for a Thai company. I see no reason anyone would by an Elite visa, any more - is a huge chunk of money, and there are many better options. The DTV is a good choice - gives you 5 years to consider options, and see what happens. I would start by checking the double-tax agreement, if exists, between your country and Thailand, to see if you would owe anything here, after paying your taxes there. Also consider there are personal-deductions here - so a small amount of income is not taxable. If you do owe taxes here, then you would apply for a Tax ID. If you set up a savings account here, you will receive interest (not much), which is tax-deducted, and can apply simply to get a refund on that. -

Paetongtarn Reaffirms Digital Wallet Commitment Amid Cancellation Rumours
Indeed... especially if a 'new person' now profits from the 'funding' of this 'new'... 'revamped' digital wallet scheme... And who better than to draw in the those 'willing' to donate than the puppeteer himself... .... Once the Auntie's are home... ... the only thing I find tricky to predict is what policy are they going to use to vote buy in their next set of elections ?... How to make people forget about - new car scheme, rice scheme, iPad for every school child, and of course, this Digitial wallet which.... 'mark my words' will become so difficult to actually use only very few will benefit... i.e. Sure... everyone gets a digital 10,000 baht... But it will only work though an app which has to be purchased and usage is taxed at 20% with an over-draft facility with interest at the highest legal rates... winner winner... -

Paetongtarn Reaffirms Digital Wallet Commitment Amid Cancellation Rumours
As I stated previously ditching this program would be political suicide. By following through with it after the media played up that it was being reconsidered will make her a political superstar. Not sure if this was by design but it will have a very positive effect on her image. Especially the standing up against Papa angle.- 1

Foreign cyclist severely injured after being hit by Phuket Airport taxi
I think its everyone who needs to open their eyes... Cyclists, Drivers, Authorities... When we have a sitation where there exists significant speed and size differential between road users then inertia and mass such that the inattentive will not have time to react. Is road design and visibility an issue ? Is speed an issue ? Is driver training an issue ? (all of the above). Example: Rounding a blind bend in the UK a few weeks back to end up on the back wheel of a cyclist... I was careful, aware something could have been around that blind bend and was able 'not to hit the cyclist' (or whatever else could have been there)... Why ?... driver training ??? ... Perhaps, but I haven't been driver trained for 30 years... so why wasn't I tearing around that corner at the legal road speed ??.... The answer I fear, is fear... fear of hitting someone and behind held accountable - and therein lies the issue - there are people on the roads to whom this fear either cannot be understood because they are simply dumb, or they are both arrogant and reckless and think it wont happen to them.. ... and the cyclists when using the road have to take an element of the 'arrogant and reckless and think it won't happen to them' because why else would they ride on roads where two tonne items can speed past them at 60 kmh ?... particularly Thai roads ??? Drivers of course at fault - but roads were never meant for such speed differentials... 80kg of cyclists at 30kmh and 2 tonne of metal at 60kmh... But what can you do in a country where the police ride helmetless down a pavement / sidewalk ? -

Check out the definitions Susan. The only commonality is the lack of democracy. Interestingly, that’s the direction Trump wants to take the US. -

The look like professional riders not just a guy riding his bike if you see a team of cyclists like these you give them room by that i mean give them plenty of room if you want to overtake them. This idiot either didn't see them or just thought I'm in a car move over no respect. So he did what they all do when they make a mistake they do a runner once he is arrested I hope they charge as well with leaving the scene of an accident.- 1

Truth Social shares go into freefall after investors learn how much money it really makes
4.28B market cap with less revenue than a mom-and-pop corner store. This is not really a stock. It's a thinly veiled bribe mechanism.- 1
