What is this...?
The only possible reason I can think of, is to try and stop people applying from inside Thailand? Paying in person will force the person to at least visit Laos. Also, they do like their crisp foreign currency over there. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
KBank is complying with global regulations under CRS and FATCA to ensure tax residency details are accurately reported: For Americans: FATCA requires banks to report account details to US tax authorities. For Non-Americans: CRS requires tax residency information to be shared with international tax authorities to prevent tax evasion. Why Are They Being Sent Out? In 2020, Thailand joined the CRS agreement, committing Thai banks to request tax residency information from their customers. This is standard procedure and not unique to you—KBank happens to be among the first to implement it. Under CRS rules, banks must: Confirm the tax residency of all account holders. Identify connections to other countries for tax purposes. Share financial account details with local tax authorities, who may exchange the information internationally if needed. This ensures overseas income and assets are declared in the relevant country. While this may feel new in Thailand, it’s already standard practice in many other countries. Note that switching banks won’t avoid this, as all Thai banks are required to comply with CRS regulations. This is from an email sent out by Carl Turner yesterday following reports of KBank sending out these emails.- 1

Sondhi Eyes Final Political Protest, Plans Meeting with PM Paetongtarn
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath On 24th November 2024, at Thammasat University's main auditorium in Tha Prachan, Sondhi Limthongkul, founder of Manager Media Group and host of Sondhi Talk, discussed his political stance during the “Truth for the Nation” event. The fourth instalment of this series focused on critical national issues such as sovereignty loss, MOU 44, WHO’s new agreements, and their potential impacts on Thailand. Sondhi concluded the event, highlighting the country’s persistent issues over the past decade, regardless of political or military governments. He criticised the ongoing judicial failures and urged the public to demand change. Sondhi cited examples like the unsolved issues in Thailand’s southern provinces, fraudulent activities, and the Khao Kradong land dispute, which revealed discrepancies between court rulings and government statements. He questioned the integrity of Thailand’s justice system and called for collective efforts to address the nation’s challenges. Touching on the political landscape, Sondhi observed conflicts between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai parties, notably over the Khao Kradong case, hinting at links to the Alpine Golf Club dispute. He criticised the lack of genuine leadership and the prevalence of self-serving politicians, describing the system as corrupt and open to exploitation by individuals with financial or dubious backgrounds. Regarding possible protests, Sondhi remained non-committal but expressed willingness to take to the streets if necessary, even if it meant his final protest. He noted that public frustration was nearing a tipping point, but political dynamics among MPs and senators seemed tightly controlled, leaving little hope for immediate change. When asked about Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s openness to dialogue, Sondhi confirmed plans to meet her. He intends to present detailed grievances and seek clear answers on pressing national issues, emphasising that such discussions must serve as the starting point for substantial reform, reported Siam Rath. -- 2024-11-25 -

An opinion piece and the woke BBC. Talk about grasping at straws. Sorry but the thread you've started lacks any credibility.
