toxic substances sold only in tiny packets
Am I imagining this? I can think of several substances that could kill you if you take enough *. But consumer and health authorities just make buying it poor value and inefficient. For example, Benzyl benzoate lotion (25%) an insecticide, which is very effective topically for scabies, is not made a not criminal act to posess or sell it, just a PITA to buy in sensible quantities. So, what do people do? They buy ten small bottles. This practice is, of course, not unique to Thailand. Likewise cough syrup with tincture of opium. Again, very effective (perhaps due more to the licorice). It seems that the harm reduction philosophy is exemplified in cannabis but not for pharmaceuticals or food. I would actually be happy to see labelling laws such as any prepared food item with more than 8% sugar in it to have a red dot on the package. Would save a lot of time scanning shelves instead of reading fine print. What is done in India for vegetarian products is a green dot. Whatever is important to Thais could be coded - less than three food additives? * "In dose, everything is poison" Paracelsus -

Please, please help me to understand
I will buy into this, you seen what the other guys are saying, I will add, just bring in what you need to live per month leave the rest of your money at home, you can bring in between 4 to 500,000 per year before the need to pay tax depending on age. If you can show savings of amounts before the start of 2024 that you may want to bring in for various reasons like buy a condo, make sure you have proof, depending on the mood of the tax officer high chance it wont be seen as a taxable amount, some forward planning and thinking you can work your way around the new tax rules but really why do you need to bring in 150,000 a month? -

Overstay: Where to surrender yourself?
All three options of surrender I mentioned follow the legal process. The difference is that only the third option, surrender at the immigration desk at the airport of departure, results in an immediate departure from the country, with a fixed fine depending on the length of overstay but a maximum of 20,000 Baht and without arrest, detention, appearance in court, sentencing and a deportation order issued by a court of law. -

Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
Not just GBP, I also have a USD account with them and other currencies are available. Can make payments from anywhere into it and to anywhere out from it. It's on SWIFT, CHAPS and the other one, can't remember the name. Transfers to and from UK accounts free, but overseas payment outwards are charged. Free ATM in UK, and also when paying by card PIN or contactless. Other difference? No problem for non-UK residents or any other Nationality to open an account, although not sure about USA as they seem to have problems everywhere 'cos of FACTA. -

I dunno. I think hooking a fish through the cheek and dragging it around, or catching it in a net and letting it asphyxiate sounds pretty gruesome to be honest. A quick exploding harpoon to the head might be a lot better! -

I've had enough of the Tourist Ghettos in Thailand!
I have a rented house there - been in that village back and forth since 2014, house rented since 2017. I'm currently in Hua Hin, need to head back to Scotland soon due to an illness in the family. What's your thoughts on Fang? It gets bypassed ( literally ) by everyone. To me it's a great place to base yourself with access to Mae Ai, Tha Ton, Doe Mae Salong all within striking distance. Fang also has a good nightlife scene. Doi Lang is well worth a visit too - I'm on that mountain a couple of times every year at the restaurant which overlooks Myanmar. Great place.
