Thaksin Accused of Seeking Revenge on Military with Key Appointment
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has recently been accused of seeking personal revenge against military commanders following the appointment of his close associate, Phumtham Wechayachai, as the new Defence Minister. This claim comes from Paradorn Pattanathabutr, a retired army general and former secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC). Thaksin, a billionaire who once led Thailand, was ousted by a coup in 2006 orchestrated by then-army chief Sondhi Boonyaratkalin. Another coup in 2014, led by then-army chief-turned-Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, overthrew his sister, Yingluck Shinawatra. Given these turbulent political events, Paradorn suggests that Thaksin might have a hidden agenda, seeking retribution against the military through Phumtham’s appointment. Phumtham, a former communist insurgent, has sparked significant unrest among retired military officers. These individuals previously fought against the now-defunct Communist Party of Thailand during the Cold War, which heightens their concern about his new role. This discontent is particularly pronounced among those who view Phumtham's rise as a symbolic affront given his insurgent past. Paradorn speculates that Thaksin may use Phumtham, a trusted confidant, to exert influence over current and future military chiefs. This could potentially lead to the manipulation, promotion, or dismissal of military officers to serve Thaksin's personal interests. Such actions might politicise the military to an unprecedented degree. “Thaksin might probably be sooner or later turning professional soldiers into politicised ones only to serve his hidden goals and help him take his personal revenge,” Paradorn commented. The former NSC chief noted that military commanders might resist such political pressure, possibly leading them to consider another coup. This would resemble the previous overthrows experienced by Thaksin and Yingluck. Paradorn pointed out that Thaksin has already managed to weaken several political rivals, suggesting a pattern of seeking retribution against those who oppose him. In summary, Paradorn’s allegations paint a picture of Thaksin as a vengeful strategist, using political appointments to settle old scores with Thailand’s military establishment. Whether these claims hold true remains to be seen, but they certainly add fuel to the ever-complex tapestry of Thai political drama. -- 2024-09-05 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe FILE - Picture courtesy: Thai Rath -

Arrest Warrant Issued for Indian Man For Assaulting 14-Year-Old Girl
Ok, so I should accept changes of meaning and out of context replies to my posts without replying? I should also accept name calling and that I am dim or other slur I get from this poster in many threads I post in? That´s not gonna happen, so you just have to live with your problem. I have done nothing to you. -

airasia cancellation when can u get a refund back????
I booked a cheap throwaway with AirAsia in Jan or so 2023. In knew I'd probably be cancelling and wouldn't get the ticket price back which was minimal. But I knew I could reclaim the taxes etc. And did. After a couple of months the chatbot told me it was in process. I'd given up on it (wasn't gonna lose sleep over such an essentially minor sum) when the money came through after about 4 months (May I think) and without further prompting. I was happy. Of course I hadn't invested a sum that would affect my finances. A wise tactic when dealing in Asia. Make sure you've complied with T+Cs. Claim it and wait patiently. I expect you'll get it. They have form on long-term refund processes judging by other threads. -

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
Saved you a lot of legwork I suspect by double checking here. Some tax experts advice is not worth the paper it's printed on. I have so little trust in them that I would seek at least 2 opinions and perhaps more if they don't agree on everything. However my needs are simple as a non resident for a few years.- 1

British Tourist Hurt in Pattaya Hit-and-Run Accident
Now don't expect too much of them. But they have come a long way from the days of sitting in the AC, Lek Hotel lobby sofa, watching the TV. I also once came across a police car on the track near the lake with 2 policeman inside asleep. (The joy of stealing their wheels was just a thought). -

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
That's good, but you should understand that those always were the rules. Only people who have assessable income above a low limit of 60k/120k/220k (depending on status) were/are required to obtain a TIN and file a tax return, So nothing has changed, the same rules that always were in force are still in force and no new rules have been enacted. -

Liz Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris, Citing Threat of Trump
Former Representative Liz Cheney, once a powerful figure in the Republican Party, announced that she will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Cheney, who served as a high-ranking Republican from Wyoming, saw her political career take a sharp turn after she voted to impeach then-President Donald J. Trump following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. This decision ultimately led to her losing her seat in the House of Representatives. Speaking to students at a Duke University event on Wednesday, Cheney explained her decision, highlighting the risks she believes Donald Trump poses to the country. "I don’t believe we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states," Cheney stated. "As a conservative and someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump but I will be voting for Kamala Harris." Cheney's endorsement marks a significant moment in the ongoing political discourse, especially given her history as a staunch conservative and a member of the Republican leadership. Her decision to back Harris is rooted in her deep concerns about Trump’s influence and what she perceives as the potential threat he poses to the Constitution and the country’s democratic institutions. Despite receiving multiple requests from the Harris campaign, which has been actively seeking endorsements from Republicans, Cheney had remained silent until this point. She chose not to speak at the Democratic National Convention, preferring to wait for a moment closer to the election. Her decision to make this announcement in September, just as early voting is about to begin, was a strategic one. According to three people familiar with her thinking, Cheney wanted to ensure that her voice would be heard distinctly, rather than getting lost amid the flurry of convention speeches. Cheney's endorsement of a Democratic candidate, particularly one as prominent as Kamala Harris, underscores the deep divisions within the Republican Party and the broader political landscape in the United States. Her move is likely to resonate with other conservatives who share her concerns about Trump, potentially influencing their voting decisions as well.
