BREAKING NEWS British lawyer latest to fall in Laos alcohol poisoning tragedy
It's a strawman. Nobody is saying scrap all regulations. I am saying that Laos already has regulations regarding the production of alcohol but guess what, criminal bootleggers do not follow them. Create thousands more if you like, they still won't follow them. The only off topic distraction was you trying to shoehorn your political agenda of ever increasingly stringent rules/regulations into this tragic case of the death of 3 young women. -

Would Donald Trump’s tariffs hurt US consumers?
I saw it. It said they created jobs, you lied and said they didn’t. You have zero credibility. Just like you know higher corporate income taxes costs jobs and drives prices up, but you can’t admit it. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Makes no difference, from the Thai taxation perspective. US Social Security payments made to anybody are exclusively taxable only by the US-- regardless of citizenship or residency. Thailand need not know about any such payments, to include payments to their resident citizens, since they have no taxation authority over them, at least per DTA: This quote, from the technical explanation, points out that govt pensions paid for govt service -- are exclusively taxable ONLY by the US -- UNLESS the recipient is a Thai citizen residing in Thailand. BUT, Social Security payments don't fall under this exception -- and remain the exclusive domain of US regardless of citizenship and resident of payee. This is handy news for those of us married to dual US-Thai citizens -- as neither my wife's Social Security, nor her Air Force survivor pension, will be taxable by Thailand. And, for you as a Brit, receiving a US SS payment, even if remitted to Thailand -- is not required to be listed as assessable income on your Thai tax return. BUT ,BUT, BUT -- this is, of course, only one man's opinion. Horror, if considered tax advise. -

BREAKING NEWS British lawyer latest to fall in Laos alcohol poisoning tragedy
In Thailand they prefer to dose the booze with Insecticide. Remember the incident(s) in (Phuket ?) where two female tourists were found dead in their hotel room, no signs of foul play (i.e. not beaten/raped/stabbed). Someone pretended that maybe the room had been heavily fumigated but that's not likely. I know what a heavily fumigated room/container is like and have never seen anyone in Thailand that would waste money spraying a room for bugs, let alone with enough insecticide to be lethal to humans as well. But they had been drinking at a bar well known for it's "bucket drinks" - filled with alcohol and who knows what but said to also quite often include insecticide as an extra "boost" (that's cheap, easy to obtain and not regulated even in the slightest). But that's the trade off for going to a warm, tropical country that is also (usually) a cheap vacation spot. Low - or no - standards and even less enforcement of existing standards. That's how they get away with chaining and locking emergency exits and fire doors in Condos and nightclubs. Or using unlicensed, barely trained welders/electricians who end up causing fires that spread through ceiling material that is not even remotely fire retardant because the "good stuff" costs money ! Or sell booze that may have "suspicious" origins. (Sheesh, even my Thai friends are super wary about buying Regency brandy because of all the fake stuff being sold.) I was joking with a friend about what would happen if a "health inspector" from Canada (or other western country) were to come to Thailand and try eating at some local "restaurants". A minute later we saw a rat scramble across the floor and climb a nearby tree while you could see cockroaches trying to climb out of the sewer grate 3 meters away. (I said the "inspector" would probably throw up, run away and have a heart-attack, not necessarily in that order.) -

Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?
As Robin Williams once said, "God gave man a penis and a brain but only enough blood to run one at a time." So true!
