Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
As a pensioner in Thailand, I can't do anything as long as I'm only given so little information by the Thai tax authorities! Are they too lazy to provide reliable information or are they simply incompetent?🤪 -

Election Day Updates -
10% more of the voters decided to stay home in the most impactful election of my 60+ year lifetime? With the parties spending a combined $billion to get out the vote? And they don't even have to leave home? Sure... -

Did Treasury Violate Law by Withholding £9.5bn Spending in Tory Budget?
So when Cameron and Osbourne brought in the 'Austerity years' we now know it never worked except to alienate a majority of the population resulting in blaming everyone but, the Government. Immigrants bad, EU bad, etc. I wonder if no Austerity years but tax rises and expand the economy would we still be in the EU where before the vote 2015-2016 pound were 54 -50, then collapsed on the "Leave" result. We sure have some smart, intelligent folk in power with their finger on the pulse of the people. Sad, my children have never had the opportunities in the UK I had which took me overseas working for 38 years. -

Trump is back! He has won.
You are welcome. You can check my posts on my profile page (or whatever it's called). I would not say that I am always courteous, but when someone calls me names or bullies me, I won't back down from the attack. I think at most I might make a sarcastic that may border on being snide. But no outright denigrating to or about people. I don't know that my experience is in cultural or historical milieu is extensive, but it is more than what some have had. My dad was in the U.S. Army so there was the benefit of travel and exposure to different cultures and countries. I have also had employment that has required that I associate with people such as (what I call) the little old man or woman down the street, up to having to work with Secret Service personnel protecting presidents. Here in the U.S. of A. there has been, for several years, some advantages to being a minority. I could take advantage of that by making a claim based on Cherokee Indian (oh wait, I mean Native American) ancestry, but I guess I am too lazy. Besides, I seem to have been able to get by on my own. -

Baby Found Abandoned in Trash Skip at Condo in Bo Win
It's the Thai government who are sick. These young women in a relationship, having sex, all is going well, she and her partner make plans for the future......Sadly, only for the father to abandon her shortly after the birth of her baby. In the west the government would provide social security and welfare payments (thousands of dollars after the birth), garnish the fathers wages, the woman may be on maternity leave, she has income but sadly in Thailand this poor young woman (girl) has no money to support herself and baby. If the mother decides to keep her child without income she must leave her child with a guardian, go to work in the city but the minimum wage of around 12000 month is not enough to pay for accommodation, guardian, food, clothing, electricity, etc, now she finds herself working on Soi 6. Shame on Thailand for not providing for these young mothers -

If such little issues concern you, then Thailand is probably not the right place for you. -

Not the same at all many , especially foreigners, have been fined for such behaviour, nobody has been punished for cannabis use since the law was changed, Can you see the difference yet?
