Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
i’m not entirely sure why you’re asking for proof. just a few points: do all shops and street vendors earning less than 10k per month ? are all shop's and seller's registered and paying taxes? do all thai people working in the entertainment and tourism industries pay their taxes? are illegal earnings and income from corruption and grey / side market activities subject to taxation? do all freelancers (facebook selling, etc) pay taxes? ... if you really believe that only a small portion of thais commit tax evasion and need proof of that, then i can’t help you ... i agree that there are foreigners who don’t have to pay taxes due to the DTA and exemptions, or because of low pensions. however, not all countries have such generous treaties like the US with thailand, some have no treaties at all. if these individuals receive pensions certain sum of pension, they could already be paying taxes. i think it would be wrong to look the whole situation from just one perspective. there are foreign tax residents who sustain their lives in thailand also through investments, rental income (apartments/houses), stock market etc which results in paying taxes! some other situation, someone like to buy a car, land, house, or has to pay medical expenses with earnings (no savings before 31.12.2023). in all these situations, taxes must be paid ... just a reminder, taxes are progressive, ranging from 5% to 35%, which can result in a nice tax payment ... a easy, nice little earn for the TRD! as we all know, this little change for the tax law aims to close a loophole (used primarily by thai's), and we foreigners were not the reason for the law change. however, in my opinion, this does not mean that we are exempt from complying with this law. in a few years, it will become clear which group of us foreigners acted with foresight ... -

Girlfriend approved for US tourist visa but worried about airport immigration
Agree, I live in SF and when I travel, as an American, I have no respect for those power hungry assh&&ls at the SF Immigration center. Power trip is an epidemic with that group. Can't wait for AI to replace them. -

Thai woman left blind and disfigured after misdiagnosis
Some may be but many are not or dont seem to consider diagnostic testing for proper treatment especially in govt hospitals. In the south or outside of the bigger cities. They also dont like to be questioned or contradicted once they decide what the problem is in their mind. -

Frenchman arrested in Krabi for eight-year visa overstay
Stupid old git, more like! It certainly does not "look like someone ratted him out"... "...an inspection of foreign workers to enforce the Immigration Act of 1979 and other relevant laws ... Police Major General Songprod Sirisukha, along with his team, coordinated with the Krabi Immigration Office and local police to inspect accommodations and businesses employing foreigners. During these inspections, 65 year old Didier was found and questioned". -

Labour's Britain: A Landscape of Bluster and Inaction
Do you ever read the links that you think support your mental gymnastics: "At the time, then-prime minister Theresa May said the payments would be removed from all but the poorest pensioners." It is the same policy but it wasn't implemented, probably due to the knowledge from Labours study telling them that 4000 people would die if they implemented it. The Tories were not callous enough to implement it. So what do you think of Starmer knowingly implementing a policy that their own research said would kill 4000 old people before their time? For a comparison, Harold Shipman only managed to kill 284 over a period of 30 years. -
