Fear that fired spies could betray U.S.
According to a report from Politico's Amy Mackinnon, Elon Musk and DOGE staffers having a free hand in firing has had the end effect of putting "hundreds of intelligence and national security officials who had access to reams of classified information" on the street. Ex-CIA officer James Lawler remarked, "What we have done is we have created a ripe set of targets for our adversaries." Kevin Carroll, a former CIA case officer, agreed and added “You’re absolutely creating a counterintelligence risk,” he said. “Not by letting people go, but the manner in which you’re letting people go.” Hundreds of officials with access to highly sensitive information have been fired or placed on administrative leave across the federal government. The Pentagon announced Tuesday that it was forging ahead with plans to cut some 50,000 to 60,000 civilian jobs. A slate of top national security officials at the FBI and Department of Justice have also been removed from their posts.

British Tourist Tricked in Pattaya Herbal Remedy Scam
Hey, we weren't stupid enough to elect a serial orange liar as a president. Back to this idiot. It's one thing to get scammed so easily and foolishly, it's another thing to go to the media and stand there like a lemon pointing at the 200 baht item he paid 20,000 baht for. He's screaming, look how stupid I am! -

UK tax relief
I believe there is an overlap between the two very different thresholds and if they wanted to they could apply some tax to the bit inbetween the lower Thai tax free threshold and the higher tax free threshold in the UK and most other countries. Taxation kicks in at 10% between 300k and 500k and £12570 is worth 551k Baht right now So technically that untaxed 200k Baht between 200 and 500k would be taxed at 10% and the 51k above 500k stretches into the 15% band. Because it's not taxed in the UK then it won't be double taxed..... So in theory at least they could demand 10% of the 200k between 300 and 500k and 15% of the 51k between 500k and 551k which would be 20,000 Baht + 7,650 = 27,650 Baht. Now this money would not be double taxed as it's untaxed in the UK so should be fair game for them to come after - but I haven't seen many people speak about this. Is it excluded by the double taxation treaty? Who knows - I doubt it because it's not taxed is it - or if it is consdiered taxed at a zero rate - does that count at all? Also I doubt it. It doesn't apply to me as I don't pay any tax anywhere else due to being non resident anywhere that I could pay tax so they would want to tax the lot in my case if I were to stay more than 180 days - which I don't. You do mention a good point though as this 'overlap' as I'm going to call it is the first thing that came to mind when reading about this change long ago and I figured it would automatically affect every tax resident and bring them all into the tax net as the allowances in Thailand are very small compared to 'the west'..... So it would likely come down to - where does the income come from and is it covered by the double tax agreement - and that gets complex fast - hence - see an accountant to confirm. Edit - there is a lower 5% band as well which may or may not come into play depending on age.
