British Tourist Found Dead & Naked off Phuket Beach After Mysterious Encounter
It's interesting how different media outlets disseminate varying pieces of information. In this one, for example: She said: "The detective said he has worked tirelessly but I just don't know if they want to make it out like it was a tragic accident. Something is really not sitting right with me." https://www.gbnews.com/news/british-tourist-naked-body-found-sea-thailand-heated-row-muscly-man I assume they are "working tirelessly" to identify the second guy, and given they have CCTV footage (and probably eyewitness accounts if they were drinking at the bar), it's safe to assume there is a good chance they will find him, they usually do in such cases. I have checked the fundraising page and they have already raised 23k (the goal was 15k), however it seems unlikely the authorities will release the body if the investigation is ongoing. -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
I suspect there are many differences among the different country DTAs with Thailand on this. Take Canada for example, where the DTA notes (I inserted the "Canada" and "Thailand" below): It clear - for Canadian pensions or similar remunerations, they can only be taxed by Canada. The words "similar remuneration" pretty much means Canadian RRSPs and RRIFs (conceptually similar to USA 401(K) are only taxable in Canada (and Canada DOES tax them with a hefty tax) ... < sigh > I suspect tax would be less if they could be taxed in Thailand instead of Canada but that is not the case < sigh > . ... Germany DTA is better here IMHO where the German-Thai DTA gives Thailand exclusive taxation rights over German pensions. -

Cheapest way to call a UK HMRC phone number
You could purchase a UK Skype number @£38/year. £10:00 credit allows you to call from anywhere in the world @ approx 1.5p per minute. It also allows any call to your UK number to be transferred to your Mobile, anywhere in the world at the UK local rate and no charge to you. If you make many calls to the UK it works out quite cheap. Also 0800 numbers are free. As they say, up to you. -

Tourists Detained After Vaping Mid-Air on Nok Air Flight
In case you missed it it was in response to a chain of messages starting with someone asking what the punishment equivalent would be "in the states" (aka United States of America), to which I was replying to someone saying it was 'federal' and only a fine. (also in case you missed it -- Thailand is not a federation. However, Earlier I also pointed out earlier what the possible charges were in Thailand and they would have more charges to apply and potentially more serious if they wanted to go that route. -

Tourists Detained After Vaping Mid-Air on Nok Air Flight
Grossly misplaced, your sarcasm, because if you are getting caught refusing to put on your seat belt during taxi for take-off, we are going back to the gate... -

Cheapest way to call a UK HMRC phone number
Thanks for your information. I shall keep my eye on this. Appears similar to the VOIP service I use; 'VYKE'. Only difference I can see (from a U.K. user point of view) is that SWYTCH charges 5.00 GBP per month to rent a U.K. mobile number and VYKE charges 19.99 GBP per annum. -

David Lammy Criticizes Sajid Javid for Remarks on Ethnicity of Grooming Gangs
Whomever is behind the twitter account @thatkatyagirl did; I was challenged to provide evidence that this account was racist and found these particular tweets that I listed in under a minute. EP then defended her/him, saying in relation to the statement "If you spend any time with Pakistani men, you will see where they place white working class girls on the respect line." The Twitter account did not say 'some' Pakistani men.
