Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
All issues related to CRS are mostly irrelevant with the current remittance system in place, remember it exists for western countries to tax those with offshore bank accounts. Thailand with the remittance based system doesn't really stand to benefit from any of this information and if you're no longer a tax resident in your home country then they're not going to care what you have or do in Thailand unless they tax non residents - which they don't in almost every country except for 1. -

Is there anything good about getting old?
The best lesson in life I had about getting old was in 1995. On December 2, a day before my birthday, I got a severe stroke. I woke up in the IC in the hospital, naked and surrounded by all kind of machines beeping. Later I was told that I had passed away, but somehow came back to life. A few weeks after the IC unit, I was transferred to a room. Still paralyzed, I needed help for everything. Putting butter in my bread, go to the toilet, wash myself, etc. A few days after, a man came in my room with his whole family. He had been working all his life as a "Warehouseman" for a big company and was just 4 months retired. We chatted about our lifes and how he was planning his retired life with trips everywhere. He would endly be able to make a cruise with his wife, something they were always dreaming off. A few days after he was admitted to the hospital, a doctor came in the room and told him that they were going to make some tests the next day. The next day, 2 nurses put him on a wheelchair and drove him away. About 3 hours later he came back in the room with a big smile. Everything seemed to be ok with his body. Sadly enough, that evening, the doctor came into the room and told him the bad news. The test had discovered a few "white spots" on the X-Ray pictures and were defined as "CANCER CELLS". The doctor told him that it was best for him to have the infected part of lung removed before it would spread out. He accepted to remove a part of his lung and the next few days I could hear the sound of a pump attached to his bed and sucking the fluid out of his long. A week went over and he was still making plans for the future with his wife. But his doctor came back in the room to tell him that the CANCER had already spread on his lung and the best option would be to remove his lung. He accepted to remove his lung and the next few days I could hear the sound of a pump attached to his bed and sucking the fluid out of his long. A week went over, and he started to accept the fact that his future was not lasting long and he could forget his cruise. A few days later, I was released from the hospital and continued to recover at home. End of January, I received a phone call from his wife that he was given a few hours of life. I rushed to the hospital and he was lying unconscious in his bed, most of internal organs removed and all kind of macjines was keeping him alive. I hold his hand, and a few minutes later I hear the endless beep of the heart rate screen. Moral of the story: We were told that we had to work our life to build up a family and retire, but this was completly wrong. Live your life to the fullest whilst you can and are still able to annd don't worry about a future that my never come. -

Thailand Vigilant Amidst 'Disease X' Outbreak in Africa
The ridicule of public health efforts to protect the population is really offensive. All that the Thai MoH is doing is exercising common sense. They are trying to screen for people who are coming from the region where there is a serious deadly disease. What exactly is wrong about that? I am thankful that this is being done. Maybe some arrogant condescending foreigners are not. I also know that they will be the first to run to the hospital when they are infected and expect to be treated right away. -

Thailand Vigilant Amidst 'Disease X' Outbreak in Africa
There is no medication to treat the disease. There are medications to manage some of the symptoms. There were indeed significant "scares" and as much as you ridicule public health, the fact that we did not have an epidemic in Europe and North America was because of their collective quick action. You are obviously unaware of the quick access to vaccines for high risk groups, the travel monitoring and the education effort that was undertaken. There were major outbreaks last summer in Canada, USA and the EU. The response was to provide free vaccines to the high risk exposure groups and to educate. It worked. -

Thailand's EV Industry Faces Challenges Amid Subsidy Concerns - video
Long distance journeys to visit farms around rural Thailand carrying bulky equipment, then muddy farm tracks - where 4X4 plus a diff lock is handy. Sometimes carrying several passengers too.
