Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Freeze the video at 0:32. The name of the place they are in is called "Vespa Coffee Man." A Google bought up their Facebook page. It's in Phuket. https://www.facebook.com/p/Vespa-coffee-man-100075734266281/ Freeze at 4:10. There's a sign on a building saying "Visa Extension." If not Phuket, where do you say they are? -

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
Repeating the same nonsense doesn’t make it any more correct….. “You assume he doesn't know how to drive in Thailand. he might be driving here for years without an accident, like many other foreigners here.”. That’s a complete non-sequitur. Whether someone has personally avoided an accident has zero relevance to their understanding of road safety at a national level. Just one driver's experience doesn’t override actual data on road safety either accident enforcement or infrastructure. Using your logic, as I said earlier anyone who's been to school isn't an expert on education, anyone who’s never had a house fire isn't an expert on fire safety, or someone who’s never been mugged doesn't live in a crime-free country. See the flaw yet? Personal anecdotes aren’t a substitute for system-wide analysis. If you want to argue about road safety, stick to facts, not your own lucky driving record."* As for the rest….. "Ah yes, the classic ‘read this slowly’ approach—because condescension is such a great substitute for a logical argument Your reasoning is risibly flimsy….You say "Many locals are bad drivers." – so can you define "many." - 10%? 50%? 90%? You have zero actual data, just a bunch of anecdotal whinging. If your argument is just gut feelings and cognitive biases instead of statistics, it’s not an argument at all. Again you claim - “Nothing to do with race” - . They say there is “stupid, stupider and then racist” But by saying, ‘It’s the locals.’ you’re ignoring the science, ‘Poor driving conditions exist due to infrastructure, lax enforcement, or education.’ If you used the same logic and applied it to other nationalities, you’d see the problem—but because it fits your narrative, you pretend it’s ‘facts.’ “Where we come from, the police are hardcore.” And again you’ve missed the point, it’s systems, not people that shape behaviour. If Thailand had the same enforcement, education, and infrastructure as your home country, the driving habits would be different. Instead of recognising that, you just blame "locals" like bad driving is coded into their DNA. “Are you Thai?” – What?? - this is where you fully expose yourself. What exactly are you implying? That only foreigners can have valid opinions on road safety in Thailand? That my argument is only valid if I’m not Thai? If that’s not racially loaded nonsense, I don’t know what is. At the end of the day, the difference between us is simple: I’m discussing causes and solutions—you’re just ranting about ‘bad locals’ which that means nothing. If you actually cared about road safety instead of playing the ‘wise foreign observer,’ you’d focus on the systemic reasons behind these issues, not lazy stereotypes
