Drunken Tourist Attacks Phuket Bikers Over Massage Ride Refusal
Drunken Tourist Attacks Phuket Bikers Over Massage Ride Refusal A drunken tourist in Phuket attacked three motorcycle taxi riders after they refused to give him a ride to a massage parlor, citing that they were fully booked. Video footage showed the foreigner shouting and assaulting the riders, injuring one by strangling and hitting the others during the altercation. The man eventually left the scene, and the riders reported the incident to Karon Police. The tourist was fined only 500 baht and paid 5,000 baht in compensation, which the victims deemed insufficient. Many netizens criticized perceived leniency towards foreigners, with claims of bias from local police. Drug use, rather than alcohol, was suspected. -

Chinese Actor Disappears Near Thai-Myanmar Border
Chinese Actor Disappears Near Thai-Myanmar Border Chinese actor Wang Xing, known as Xingxing, disappeared after being lured to Thailand under the pretense of a film shoot, raising fears of human trafficking. Xingxing traveled from Shanghai to the Thai-Myanmar border town of Mae Sot, an area infamous for illegal activities, after responding to a casting call on WeChat. Communication with his girlfriend, Jiajia, ceased shortly after his arrival. She has since sought help from Chinese and Thai authorities, including the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Thailand. As investigations continue, the case underscores the dangers of digital scams targeting vulnerable individuals in creative industries. -

You are correct regarding major cities. Elsewhere, however, they are still treated with unforgivable cruelty. -

they just killed 2 of my dogs
Those of us who ride motorbikes know just how dangerous they can be when they decide to chase you out of the blue for no reason. It has nothing to do with being aggressive or not, if one of them decides he doesn't like the look of you for a reason only he knows, he will often trigger his mates and launch a pack hunt on you. It also happened to me back in the day when I used to go out for jogs (now I have a treadmill at home). I had a friend in Phuket whose beloved cat was mangled to death by the dogs outside her house. She was heartbroken. She would never have poisoned them, but she hated the damn things and ended up moving because of them. Dogs are a real problem in Thailand and is something which should be addressed through public policy, IMO. -

It's Time to Change the Annual Visa Extension Approval Process
Here in Nakhonsawan, the applications are sent to Chiang Mai for approval. In 2023, a 60-day period was 'under consideration' because they were so busy. Last year, it was back to 30 days. I am happy to report that in the 5 years I've been using this office they have been polite and helpful and I've never experienced or heard of any corruption. An elderly neighbour of mine fell while he was in the office so the head IO (female) told his wife he doesn't need to attend anymore as his wife can do it. When he died the IO attended his funeral. She told me that we are all her customers and she wouldn't have a job without us. I wish all the offices operated like this. -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
I would encourage anyone who is clearly required to file a Thai tax return, to file one. Having type that, my view is that unless the Thai government has another (non-tax related) reason to evict one from the country, there is more likely to be just the government fining one some money , and after the fine is paid 'all is forgiven'. However if the government is looking for an excuse, to go after an individual, then not filing/paying taxes can always be a good excuse that government's will 'hang their hat' on. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Together with my application, I have my wife and my 3 children as dependents. None of us have had any issues with the Thai immigration in the past. Like what I have mentioned before. No ED, no overstay, not even an extension on a visa exempted entry.
