Any Effect for Having a Cambodian Retirement Extension
No problems entering Cambodia. Yesterday (4/8/2025) I flew back home in Siem Reap after a hospital appointment in Thailand. I have an valid annual Cambodian Retirement Visa in my UK passport, along with older annual retirement Thai visas. I believe these visas were the cause of hassle I experienced yesterday at the Air Asia check-in desk. When I presented my passport with the flight reference documentation, it was queried regarding possession of a Cambodian visa (which I indicated) and where was my return flight to Thailand. I explained I lived in Cambodia. The check-in lady took my passport and, after a phone call, disappeared with it. She returned and asked where I lived in Thailand to which I replied i live in Cambodia and not Thailand. I was then given back my passport and told I had been cleared to fly. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Tensions Rise as Govt Denies Army Beheading Rumours
That was certainly not my intention, merely what I heard on the Thai TV The response to my comment indicates I was not the only one who saw this Its obviously difficult to believe anything we are told, its probably better to remain blissfully ignorant and believe nothing then? Something I will endeavour to do in future -

Finance Tax Break Bonanza: Thais to Benefit from New Foreign Income Rule
This is not really the business of the director general of the Revenue Department to engage with the media about. Has anyone ever seen an announcement about changes in tax policy from the head of HMRC or the IRS? Never. It is the job of the finance minister to determine tax policy and government should enact amendments through parliament not through ministerial emergency orders, as they plan to do, or just let the director general issue orders that are not binding on the public like they did in 2023. But this government is far too incompetent and just delegates this very important policy to the bureaucrats who should be just implementing policy not formulating it. The result has been a total failure of the bizarre orders issued by the Revenue Department in 2023. Not only have they failed to generate any incremental tax but they have kept Thai money abroad and choked off inflows by expats, many of whom fled or decided never to move here. Now to save face, they are are going to issue an emergency order to amend the Revenue Code but the effect is probably to to allow any remittances tax free. If you sold your property this year and left the money on deposit in the UK at decent interest rates for another 10 years, the gains on your property become principle and the interest is your income. Last year's interest also becomes principle. So you can probably remit all of it tax free to Thailand whenever you like, unless there is very specific wording to exclude past income. That is possible but Thai amendments to laws usually just change a couple of words around without the copious detail you find in UK or US tax laws. Let's see. I think they would have done better to have done nothing but the problem is that the clown Srettha who was finance minister as well as PM didn't have a clue and let the bureaucrats dictate policy that no one thought through with disastrous results. Now the finance minister is a dusty old retired bureaucrat who also lets the bureaucrats do everything. Thaksin only cares that ministers are totally loyal to him. Competence or qualifications don't enter into it. His daughter was a prime example while she lasted.
