Thai Police Seize 483kg Crystal Meth, Arrest Two Suspects
File photo for reference only In a major breakthrough, Thai police arrested two individuals in Pathum Thani, uncovering 483 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine intended for international transit. The arrests are a significant step in Thailand's ongoing struggle against drug trafficking, coordinated under the Royal Thai Army's directive, led by Commander Pana Klaewplodthuk. The successful operation unfolded following intelligence reports that linked a network of traffickers in southern Thailand to a substantial drug shipment. This pivotal raid was executed by the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, with assistance from military intelligence and law enforcement, culminating in the detention of Manoch, aged 33, and Thanaporn, aged 30. The duo revealed plans to transport the illegal cargo to the south in exchange for a sizeable payment of 1 million baht. Thailand, a pivotal point in the notorious Golden Triangle drug route, frequently intercepts transits of illicit substances like methamphetamine, heroin, and ketamine, bound for regions as far as Australia and Hong Kong. The suspects now face severe charges that could lead to heavy penalties, a warning shot across the bow for trafficking networks. Legal proceedings are underway as the accused remain in custody at Thung Song Hong Police Station. -- 2024-12-16 -

ALL consulates in S/E Asia switch to online eVisa system effective Jan 1st 2025
Even if the "payment in person" had an alternative the processing time for the eVisa would make it impractical if the application had to be made while in eg Laos. I can recall obtaining my first Non O retirement at Vientiane It was an overnight gig. Now it's an appointment and process time of what 3 days? What will it be when eVisa starts 2025 The folk requiring a Non O will simply obtain the visa from the local immigration office from visa exempt entry. There is no one requiring a tourist visa since exempt went to 60 days. -

Thailand Unveils Bold Tax Reform as VAT Proposal Faces Backlash
Photo: The Thaiger In an ambitious move to bolster Thailand's economy, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira has presented a sweeping tax reform plan designed to increase state revenue and foster development. Unveiled at the Sustainability Forum 2025, the plan's core involves slashing the corporate income tax from 20% to 15%, in line with OECD benchmarks, and possibly reducing the personal income tax cap from 35% to attract global talent. However, a proposed VAT increase from 7% to as high as 15% has sparked significant public concern. Critics, including economist Athiphat Muthitacharoen, argue this would disproportionately affect low-income families by elevating living costs. Recognising the backlash, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has distanced the government from the controversial VAT hike, signalling it may not proceed. With fiscal pressures mounting—interest on government debt could exceed 14% of revenue due to borrowing—Athiphat calls for a fair, holistic tax reform. He points out that salaried workers bear most of the tax burden, despite a small portion of the population contributing. Support for the corporate tax cut is strong among business leaders like Sanan Angubolkul, who see it as a way to revive employment and reduce costs. Nonetheless, doubts remain about its necessity given existing BoI incentives, with industry voices cautioning against rising production costs sparked by VAT changes. As debate ensues, there's a clear emphasis on tailoring the tax system to ensure fairness and sustainability, reflecting the diverse economic landscape while remaining competitive globally. -- 2024-12-16
