Using an overseas Debit Card to minimise paying tax for those of us staying over 180 days
He's not forbidden, it just may be treated as assessable income (depending on his foreign source income). I could spend the rest of my life repatriating capital (from pre 2024), while generating foreign income into a separate account. I don't think that would wash. I know some people are going to try this, and maybe it will work, but it seems far too easy to circumvent tax this way. -

Trump Just Pulled Out Of The Debate
We'll see but I think it's likely going to amount to - if she can get both houses - bit more tax on the very wealthy - letting Trump tax cuts expire - and some more services like health care for the poor. She has mentioned price controls - bet you it's mainly talk except in cases of extreme price gouging e.g. some medicines where the pharmaceutical companies seem to have huge power in The United States compared to other countries. Sometimes the free market ain't perfect. I am not aware of the other policies. Think it would be big news if she was eliminating private health insurance. Trump's health care policy is still being formulated since 2016 - sure it's going to be well worth the wait. -

Indian Businessman Accused of Raping Underage Thai Girl and Forcing Her to Abort Baby
An Indian businessman in Chon Buri, Thailand, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old Thai girl in December last year, and later forcing her to have an abortion. This case has led to the girl's mother launching a legal complaint, which was lodged at Nongprue Police Station on August 27. The delay in reporting the alleged crime was due to the mother's fear that the authorities would not take her seriously - given their financial disadvantage compared to the wealthy businessman. Channel 3 aired the young girl's account of the alleged assault, which she said occurred at the man's pool villa during her aunt's birthday party. Her aunt was employed by the man as a cleaner at the property. She claims the man approached her after she left a bathroom at the villa. She tried to flee, but couldn't escape him. When she confided in her mother and aunt, they doubted her story, until she became pregnant. Regretfully, her mother admitted she hadn't initially believed her daughter's claim. She confronted the businessman about the pregnancy, and while he seemed surprised, he promised to take care of it, suggesting an abortion. The girl's mother declined, but the man allegedly duped the girl into going to a Bangkok clinic, where he paid 8,000 baht for the procedure to be carried out, contrary to the mother's wishes. The mother was shocked when the doctor agreed to perform the abortion, arguing the potential baby would only become society's outcast. The doctor advised the girl to be more careful in future to avoid such situations, implying that bringing another child into the world could be troublesome. The girl's aunt confessed she initially reprimanded her niece for falsely accusing the Indian man, whom she thought was a trustworthy real estate businessman. However, she changed her mind when he used coarse language, which made her believe her niece's version of events. But by the time she did, it was already too late. The family now hopes the police will swiftly investigate and bring the businessman to justice.

Thai woman fired after leave to care for ill child
This is just a bunch of Crap and Bull. The employer is wrong in all ways. The employee has a legit reason to be away from work and have reported that. She can also not say when she can be back as that is done by the doctors. In the case that she is legally employed, she can seek help at Labor Department. The boss will get his arse fried. In case she is not legally employed, the boss is not paying his fees for employees to the government. If push there, he will be fried again. -

Thailand's Central Bank May Lower Interest Rates if Digital Wallet Delayed
Smart trick by the Pheu Thai. Say that the cash handout will boost the economy. Ask the BOT to drop interest rates. BOT say no. Delay the cash handout. BOT says that a delay may force us to drop interest rates. Double whammy for Pheu Thai - they can do the cash handouts after the interest rate is dropped. -

UK Authorities Seize £5m Worth of Cannabis At Birmingham Airport, Affecting Thai Tourists
A major seizure of cannabis, worth approximately £5 million (about 225 million baht), shocked travelers at Birmingham Airport, UK. The Uk police found the drugs distributed across 28 suitcases on a single day, as tourists from Thailand crowded the terminal. The operation led to the arrest of 11 British travelers returning from Thailand via Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. They have been released on bail until November 9. The National Crime Agency (NCA) warned that people smuggling drugs could be faced with significant prison sentences. Alarmingly, there has been an increase in arrests associated with the smuggling of cannabis from incoming flights from Thailand, Canada, and the United States. This year, 378 people have been apprehended for smuggling cannabis through UK airports, tripling the amount confiscated in 2023. These seizures consist of an estimated 15 tonnes of the drug. More than half of the arrests this year, specifically 184, involved cannabis coming from Thailand. Additionally, 75 were connected to cannabis from Canada, and 47 from the United States. Many of the couriers thought they were only risking a fine, even though the harshest penalty for importing cannabis in the UK is 14 years imprisonment. Around 196 people have already been convicted this year, accumulating sentences totaling nearly 188 years. One significant case happened in May, when Fernando Mayans Fuster, a 51-year-old Spaniard was caught at Manchester Airport. He had 158 kilogrammes of cannabis in eight suitcases, coming from Los Angeles. He was sentenced to a term of three years and four months. James Babbage, NCA's Director General of Threats, warned that criminal gangs are taking advantage of the legal cannabis market overseas to smuggle high-quality products into the UK, often endangering couriers in the process. He advised that the risks of getting caught were great and not worth taking. File photo for reference only -- 2024-08-28 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe- 1
