Greenland
The European NATO members must urgently and rapidly increase their defence capabilities so that they will be able to defend the occupation and annexation of Greenland by the USA or Russia. For all we know, once there is a peace treaty in Ukraine, Trump may join forces with his friend Putin to occupy Greenland and share the spoils. -

Thailand Introduces Online TM6 as Tourism Fee Faces Delays
That was not my experience back in November. They did not confirm the MDAC within the three days that we were told to do it, and no one asked me for it when I entered Malaysia (and I still did not have one). -

Hegseth has been confirmed.
Why do you keep calling folk like me a lefty just because I think Trump is an embarrassment for the USA. Plus, Biden was voted in because of Trumps failures 2016/20, people like you forget that. If Trump now got voted in by lying at every opportunity and voters falling for it, up to them........ -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Typically a DTA will refer to a specific type of income (such as a pension) and if that pension is noted in the DTA to be exclusively taxed by the source country-A, where the individual is a resident of country-B, then country-B as a signature to that DTA is not to tax that pension. I have been very careful to make posts correct in regards to Thai law. For example I pointed out Royal Decree-18 (ie relevant to Thai law) notes some foreign income in a DTA can be tax exempt. And you DENIED such, stating only pre-1-Jan-2024 income can be taxable. You made a mistake in stating that (claiming only pre-1-Jan-2024 remitted foreign income is exempt) when other income may also be exempt per Royal Decree. Its time you admitted your mistake. This is all in accordance with Thai law that you are ignoring. You have posted something that is contrary to Thai law (re: exempt foreign income). -

Thai Tax Laws for Expats: the Practical Implications versus the Realities
Given that western pensions go over the threshold, not unlike many taxes all around the world, it seems to effect the people who can least afford it the most. As I have said in the past, "a little out of a little can be a lot for some people." Pensioners may have to adjust their lifestyle, and budget for this tax bill every year, going forward. The high net worth individuals may just pay it, but could vacate for 6 months, depending on their thoughts about this tax, rather than its affordability. It's the people in the middle that will be interesting. They bring in more than a pension, but are not a high net worth individual. Many could be in that "zone" of viewing this tax as a rip off, or, the tax goes a long way towards paying to live 6 months outside Thailand anyway, so why not leave? 2025 is a test year for this. We will have more official and unofficial data on what demographic decided to do what in 2026. Interesting times ahead.
