Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
Of course there's a calculation to see if tax is due or not -- just subtract TEDA from your assessable income. Duh. Do this on the back of an envelope. If no taxes due -- decide if you should file, if assessable income exceeds 60k baht. Since if you don't file, and there's no way they'll know that you should have -- or, if magically they somehow know, and the fine is 2000 baht (never experienced) -- big f***** deal. And, forget the big scare someone interjected here awhile back, about 10 years of back audits -- because if there's no tax evasion in current year under question, do you think they'll waste resources for 10 years' of audits? Duh. No, for goodness sakes, if you think somehow your remitted assessable income exceeds TEDA -- and thus you owe taxes and should file a return -- of course, do it. If you're mathematically challenged, hire an accounting firm. But if you do know your math, and you do know you don't owe any taxes -- opt to do nothing -- instead of filing and getting a TIN, and now becoming part of the TRD's data base. And knowing there's little chance of any repercussions. Sounds like an easy choice, if you're good at analyzing odds. -

Foreign man flees after sexually assaulting Thai woman in condo lift - video
Certainly more appropriate than burning him alive. My point was that yes, he frightened her and touched her inappropriately but he didn't physically harm her and she was able to leave the lift to seek help. There is always a lot of extreme self righteous judgement in such cases, faux shock horror which ought to be contested, not that it matters what we write at all. -

Why I left Thailand
You don't understand how EU system works. He's getting back money/benefits he PAID IN when he was working there. Non who floats in with inner tube gets anything as soon as he/she leaved the country. -

Gaetz withdraws from AG
I will be interested to see if he tries to get his seat back. If he doesn't go back to congress it ois probably what I was saying all along. That, he knew he couldn't be confirmed and this was a way to resign with no admission of any wrongdoing from the house. Trump gets his real AG pick, GOP gets somebody new in the house. Gaetz gets away with investigation quashed and relatively unscathed. Fetterman said he knew this was a simple troll pick. I think that's the reason why. Gaetz always had a smile and said it was going fine hours before withdrawing. Like a man in on the joke he wasn't bothered. The way he withdrew with no grumbling or fuss of any kind should tell you that he knew he was never a serious choice. -

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
Ok but being issued Russian kit doesn't automatically mean you are engaged in combat. Again there is no evidence, as of yet, that they are. As for escalation I have previously pointed out that the DPRK has supplied tonnes of ammunition and weapons to Ukraine well before the arrival of this small number of troops. Basically they are one ant on an ant hill. As I said Russia is losing in excess of one thousand troops a day. Sort of puts 10,000 troops into perspective. p.s. Still waiting for your answer to what you think is going to happen over the next two months. -

ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant Over Alleged War Crimes
I never thought the ICTY would get anyone but minor thuggish foot soldiers. I was wrong. 68% of those convicted were Serbian, so the court also convicted people from the sides that had the broad support of the international community, but the split probably reflects which of the sides was responsible for the greatest number of war crimes and atrocities.dictor Any court can issue an international arrest warrant. The precedent was set by a Spanish judge and Pinochet. The Chilean dictator's troubles didn't start with an international court, it started with a Spanish judge who understood the principle of universal jurisdiction. The United States famously states US law knows no boundaries, and criminals globally are subject to US justice. This was established from the very early days of the Republic, when the nascent country refused to payoff the Barbary Pirates, enshrined in the famous USM corps song. In retrospect, during Pinochet's end-of-life, the UK and US governments behaved disgracefully, preferring strategic relationships over principle. The world would not have imploded if Pinochet had ended up in a prison-old peoples' home for murderous dictators. The reactions from some people indicate how politicised they want to make the courts. This started, maybe before, before that tabloid labeled British judges an "Enemies of the People" over a question of Parliamentary procedure and Brexit. Americans are very used to judges being elected officials, which makes them, almost by definition, to be more likely to be corrupt, and more interested in seeking votes rather than the correct application of the Law. -

Tour around a Chiangmai Housing Estate
Theives are usually in your head. Even if you do get some riff raff it's not worth the expenditure in security in my opinion to have manned posts and a guarded compound that feels like you are entering a "facility". It's overkill. The community fees include a lot of other items... Gym, Pool, Gardening etc.. Thus: in a 100 House Moobaan... we're paying about 600 baht per month for security... Opportunistic crime is an issue in Thailand.. Wife's Parents had a holiday home outside of Bangkok (it wasn't in a moobaan) - they had a full time maid, who just had to keep and stay there so the house was ready whenever they or we wanted to turn up - even though she was paid well she was bored and quit... Within 6 months the house was gutted. We travel a lot - often away for a month in the summer - for 600 baht per month, thats a great deal. We dont need to worry about the car, our motorcycle - its in outside storage - decent bicycles, golf clubs, skiis etc. I would not live in a house in Thailand without security... And... the manner in which you use the 'manned post' term, implies an prison or army type scenario - its not that at all... the feeling is 'secure environment'...
