Koh Samui Tourism Stalls as Unprecedented Storm Unleashes Havoc
The well-loved holiday destination of Koh Samui is today grappling with the harsh realities of an unruly climate change. Turbulent seas and relentless rains have led to a pause in many tourist activities as the safety of locals and visitors alike becomes the focus amid worsening weather conditions. Several popular landmarks, including top-tier waterfalls such as Hin Lad, Na Muang, and Wang Sao Thong, are now off-limits due to risky high water levels. The decision issued by the Koh Samui district office is in keeping with the over-arching safety-first strategy being employed across the island. In response to the raging waters, the Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran Co., which provides comprehensive travel services, had no other go than to alter its course. The firm diverted its sea-bound services from the routinely used Wat Na Phra Lan Pier to the presumably safer Saphan Klang Pier in Ang Thong and Bangrak Pier in Bo Phut. The Muko Ang Thong Marine National Park is taking no chances and has put a temporary halt to visitor admittance until conditions become less perilous. However, ferry services running between Don Sak, Koh Samui, and Koh Pha Ngan have so far remained resilient, with no changes reported to their schedules. While the local authorities strive to manage the situation, a rescue operation is ongoing for a missing French tourist. The 77-year-old, identified as Rene Mary Core, was last seen onboard a doomed boat trip that culminated in a capsizing incident amidst violent winds on the Rajjaprabha Dam’s reservoir. According to witnesses, Core’s leg became entangled under a bench as the boat overturned, inciting an immediate rescue effort. The same unpredictable weather is proving a nightmare for the search team. Yet, they remain committed to finding the missing man, as hospitalised injured companions and others who managed to reach safer grounds in Phuket anxiously wait for hopeful news. As the weather remains frantic, tourists and residents are advised to stay vigilant and safe. With emergency services on high alert, the quaint, sun-soaked beaches of Koh Samui now stand eerily quiet, awaiting calmer skies and normalcy. File photo for reference only -- 2024-11-25 -

Biden Administration Implements Looser Immigration Policies Ahead of Transition to Trump
Unless I'm mistaken, the agreement did not require a full withdrawal by the end of 2020. My point is thst the Trump administration respected its commitments by releasing 5000 terrorists and withdrawing most troops, despite the fact that the Taliban did not respect their commitments. -

What is the process for filing the evisa non o for a spouse?
OP if you've already sent the 400k baht to your wife's account and you don't have another 400k baht equivalent in a bank in your name, then non-imm O e-visa is no longer an option. You would need to enter visa exempt (60 days) or Tourist Visa (also 60 days) and apply for non-imm O visa in Thailand. This will require the 400k baht to be in a Thai bank account in your name on date of application. -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
I had something similar to fill in earlier this year wity two different Canadian financial institutions. I simply replied with the truth in the form that they had me fill out (which they accepted), which was my Pink-ID # (same number is on the Yellow Book) might become my Tax-ID, with the written caveat that my Thai TIN is not yet activated (there is lots of room in the form to succinctly add that detail). I confirmed that information PRIOR with a phone chat with the Thailand Revenue Department (Phuket branch) who noted I did not qualify for a Thai TIN (despite my spending >180 days/year in Thailand as I was not bringing money into Thailand and because I had no Thai income). The RD official advised that my Pink-ID # "might" become my 'online Thai tax-ID' ONLY AFTER it was activated as such. But the Phuket branch RD official advised I did not qualify for such a Thai TIN to be activated at present time. This is all 100% legal and it is the truth. The two Canadian financial institutions were more than happy to receive that information.
