Time to End "Pay to Slay" the Palestinian Authority’s Terror Funding Network
The media has reported many going back, and interviewed many who want to stay there and not leave to support what Trump is suggesting. I guess if they all went to Egypt then they may not want to go back as Egypt is such a paradise. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
Would be nice if TRD announced this requirement, like, in public, like, you know, before the tax filing season was half over! Fortunately, we have legal beagles like the one referenced looking out for our interests, and are more than willing to submit unnecessary tax filings and documentation............for a price. -

Bangkok's New Plan: Beat Traffic with a Congestion Charge
Traffic in Bangkok | Photo via ThaiResidents.com In an effort to tackle chronic traffic jams and pollution in Bangkok, Thailand plans to introduce a congestion charge in six high-traffic areas of the city. Following successful implementations in cities like London and Milan, the charge aims to relieve gridlock, encourage public transport, and cut down greenhouse gas emissions. Motorists will have to pay a fee during peak hours, starting at 40 to 50 baht per vehicle, expected to increase every five years to reach 80 baht per vehicle. The initiative is projected to generate around 10 billion baht annually, with funds helping to maintain a 20-baht fare cap on certain train services. Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit backs the move, hoping it will lead to less congestion and cleaner air. According to a 2023 survey by the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), the congestion charge will target the following areas due to their high traffic volumes: Phetchaburi-Thonglor intersection: 60,112 vehicles daily Silom-Naradhiwas intersection: 62,453 vehicles daily Sathorn-Naradhiwas intersection: 83,368 vehicles daily Pathumwan intersection: 62,453 vehicles daily Ratchaprasong intersection: 56,235 vehicles daily Pratunam intersection: 68,473 vehicles daily For context, after London introduced a congestion charge in 2003, traffic reduced by 15%, bringing in 1.2 billion pounds (about 50.33 billion baht) and cutting carbon emissions by 16%. Milan saw similar benefits in 2012, with a 12% drop in traffic, a 48% increase in public transport use, and a 15% reduction in emissions. Bangkok officials hope to see these positive results in the near future, creating a more sustainable and less congested city. -- 2025-02-10 -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
I knew they are saying that. Personally I would ignore that if your case is relatively simple and you can easily prove your remittances were non-accessable in the event of audit. They are saying such audits are likely and will cost a fortune and they're doing you a favor by charging you to file such null returns. Does that sound like fear mongering? You decide. I don't see why if you have the records why you even need any help proving that. Everyone is going to have to filter out such issues for themselves. My filter says ignore that advice. Yours may differ.
