South Africa Declines to Invite Putin to 2025 G20 Summit Amid ICC Warrant
Of course South Africa’s response to the arrest warrant issued for Putin is not related in anyway to any other matter before the ICJ. How do you know? -

Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
It has happened. There have been threads on here in which it has been reported. So - YES - it has been shown to be correct. HOWEVER, at the moment it is not widespread and I have not seen one bank come out and state that it is their policy to close non-resident accounts....... Another HOWEVER, you cannot open a new UK bank if you not UK resident. Take that concept a stage further and a logical next step would be to attack low-hanging fruit i.e. existing accounts with an overseas address - or where non-residency has been declared. Compliance is the reason cited by the banks, or more specifically "much higher costs of compliance" where non-resident accounts are concerned. Everyone should have a WISE account as a back up. -

South Africa Declines to Invite Putin to 2025 G20 Summit Amid ICC Warrant
South Africa is correct, as a signatory to the Rome Statute it must comply with the arrest warrant, not inviting Putin is a diplomatic means of avoiding having to do so. Of course South Africa’s response to the arrest warrant issued for Putin is not related in anyway to any other matter before the ICJ. It’s a separation of issues that applies to all signatories to the Rome Statute and is not at all difficult to understand. -

I've had enough of the Tourist Ghettos in Thailand!
Nice so much better weather than Chiang mai province. I didn't know it got that cool there. I haven't seen even close to 13c this year in Samoeng and it's more north in the mountains and even higher elevation (500 compared to 250 in Loei). We got rain the other day and the temps seem to be dropping now but still won't hit 13c tomorrow I bet. -

How Has Thailand’s New Income Tax Law Affected Your Spending Habits?
IF it actually becomes law and instituted, being a Yank, it won't affect me at all. Been here a while already, and all bought in already. Don't need any big ticket items, and the money for, is already here. Older married guys don't have much to worry about, and enough exemptions/allowances to barely get taxed, if any, if only bringing in about 800k to meet Imm requirements. More than enough to live on, aside from any extra brought in would get hit with a minimum tax. Not worth concerning one's self about.
