Undercover International police
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/rcmp-sting-endangered-canadian-in-thailand/article992277/ Senior RCMP officers who approved an undercover operation that lured a Quebec man into buying heroin in Thailand have acknowledged in recently filed court documents that the project was conducted with no concern that it would put a Canadian citizen in danger of getting a death sentence from the Thai authorities. The court documents filed in a Quebec Superior Court civil suit also show that the RCMP mistook their suspect for his drug-trafficking twin brother when the force's undercover agents went after him. The man the RCMP targeted, a drug addict with no previous criminal record named Alain Olivier, was sentenced to death in a Bangkok court. He later received a Thai royal pardon, and his sentence was commuted to 40 years in prison. Now back in Montreal on parole after eight years in a Bangkok jail, Mr. Olivier is suing the RCMP, saying he was unfairly ensnared in a sting operation. Code-named Deception, the scheme has been controversial because undercover RCMP Corporal Derek Flanagan died during a botched drug purchase in Chiang Mai. Mr. Olivier, who had arranged the transaction, was arrested and handed over to the Thai police. Transcripts of examinations for discovery were filed in court this week, including the deposition of former chief superintendent Frank Palmer, who, as officer in charge of federal operations in Vancouver, was one of the senior Mounties who approved the operation. Mr. Palmer retired in 1997 after reaching the rank of deputy commissioner of the RCMP. "It didn't bother you about bringing a Canadian citizen to Thailand to be arrested in Thailand for a crime you knew carried the death penalty? That didn't bother you at all?" Mr. Olivier's lawyer asked Mr. Palmer. "No," he replied. -

DSI investigates possible tampering in Tangmo’s death case
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has approved an inquiry into the case of late Thai actress Tangmo, following concerns about potential external and official involvement. Suspicions have been raised regarding possible manipulation of the justice process. Police Lieutenant Colonel Yutthana Phaedam, Director-General of the DSI, authorised the investigation yesterday, January 22. This decision came after a complaint was filed requesting the case be treated as a special investigation. The complainant suggested the legal proceedings related to the death of Phattharathida, also known as Tangmo, appeared suspicious. They believe a group may have unlawfully interfered with the criminal justice process to assist others in avoiding or minimising penalties. The investigation aims to uncover whether any distortion of the criminal justice process occurred and if any individuals or state officials were involved. Approval for the inquiry was given under Section 23/1, paragraph two, of the Special Investigation Act of 2004, with subsequent amendments. Police Lieutenant Colonel Nathapol Disatham, a specialist in special cases, has been tasked with overseeing the investigation and will inform the complainant accordingly, reported KhaoSod.

Thai Tax Laws for Expats: the Practical Implications versus the Realities
There already exists a document called a Tax Clearance Certificate which foreigners who are liable for tax are required to submit at the airport when they leave Thailand. This provides evidence that there are no outstanding tax liabilities. Immigration could ask for this as an additional supporting document when applying for visa extensions. Not saying they will. https://www.rd.go.th/english/23518.html -
