Foreign Owned Restauraunts in Thailand
It's based on a Treaty of Amity that's over 100 years old and last Ratified in the 1960's. Not sure on the speicifics, but it DOES have its limitations, i.e. unable to own land just like other businesses of foreign nationals. It's certainly not eaiser either, cost quite a bit of dosh, however it also has its perks. -

Floor tiles suddenly lifting with a bang
Water ingress... We had the same and some of the flooring near the edges closer to bathroom leak had become soft (starting to rot)... Decided to relay the whole floor and do a proper job of it. Contractors were a waste of time, reckoned they could do everything in one day (rip up old floor, install new) - no chance of that... they didn't turn up on the first day... Were late on the second so I pulled the plug and decided to do it all myself. Hard work and shagged my knees, took me 5 days, but in the end a better job than they would have done - which is a little surprising as the some of the skirting board corners, at the doors etc are very tricky to get 'spot on'. ---------- The standard of workmanship in Thailand is generally atrocious - if there is a shortcut to be taken, it will be taken (thats probably true of labourers everywhere), but those shortcuts come back to haunt us later on - which doesn't matter for the workmen who have long gone by then. So, the only thing to do is 'look over their shoulder' all the time - which pi$$es them off and causes lots of debate about about the right way to do things... and 'This is the Thai way' type responses as if that golden droplet supersedes international standards and common sense !!!... In this case 'popping tiles' its clear that the tiles have been laid with the incorrect bond and laid too close - not an issue initially, until of course, this happens. I know of a case where a foreigner had his whole floor done on the ground floor. Paid for the job, weeks later many the tiles popped up - the contractor refused to come and fix the issue. The foreigner took the case to court and won. The contractor had to fix the issue or return the costs (money paid) so another contractor could come in and do the job... Great, a win in court !!!... the contractor disappeared and was never heard from again !!!.. So, even with a court win - nothing happend. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
Typical right wing double standard. Obama inherited the worst world financial crisis since the Great Depression, economic consequences are his fault. Trump gets slammed with the Covid epidemic, economic consequences not his fault. Biden inherits Covid epidemic, economic consequences his fault. Unemployment low during Biden administration, doesn't count. -

Foreigner Steals Taxi While High on Cannabis, Crashes into Lamp Post
Let’s be honest, weed isn’t what it used to be. Back at University, in the 90s we used to smoke Thai weed. It made us laugh and feel a little euphoric. The marijuana nowadays is extremely potent. It can make you hallucinate and all sorts. Don’t touch the stuff anymore, after a friend of mine came back from holiday in Africa, and had to be sectioned. He’d been smoking some very strong weed, out there & essentially lost his mind. In the UK, police now use a drugs test for people who drive under the influence of cannabis. Clearly, this is a drug that affects one’s motor skills, so this story doesn’t seem so far fetched? -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
That may or may not be accurate. The gift may not be taxed but depending on the the threshold they set and the regs they produce on what is considered accessible income you could still find yourself taxable for other income. They have indicated income does not need to be brought into the country if you're deemed a tax resident and that's the wild card. Your country's DTA will have great bearing on qualifying your exposure. No one knows what the final outcome will be yet as they are still sorting thru the approach to this. For the complainers that nothing has been finalized and published yet, its no different than tax code in most countries. They often don't finalize code until the year of submission which is 2025 for this issue. -

Reminds me of a friend when he's stoned. He always repeats, "I know exactly what I'm doing, I just don't know what I'm f****** talking about". -

Kamala Harris Highlights Her Gun Ownership in Debate with Trump
Models, porn stars, playmates. Those sort of women. Though when I first saw him with his first wife many years ago I thought she must have been his mother.
