Thailand May Ease Overseas Income Tax Rules Amid Global Changes
Agree that Thailand's motivation for many of these recent actions (banks, TRD, etc.) is OECD. For those unaware about the OECD Global Tax Deal - it is here in a 2023 announcment https://www.oecd.org/en/about/news/press-releases/2023/07/138-countries-and-jurisdictions-agree-historic-milestone-to-implement-global-tax-deal.html It is primarily intended to create a level income tax playing field for multinational coprorations (15%) to stablize things and avoid these guys looking for a tax haven race to the bottom. It's been an uphill climb though and Trump has signed an Exec Order to pull out of it a few weeks ago. Here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/the-organization-for-economic-co-operation-and-development-oecd-global-tax-deal-global-tax-deal/ However, personal income tax in OECD member countries is also an OECD priority area of concern too. See here https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/tax-on-personal-income.html Again all relavent to Thailand too. Hope this is helpful. R. -

Tourist’s Hands Bitten Off by Shark in Photo Stunt Gone Wrong!
If you believe that someone 'deserves' to get both hands bitten off... because they wanted to take a photo.... and that its a debate for sanely balanced minds, then you too are a wrong'un.... No one 'deserves' to lose both hands in such a manner... I'd reserve the burden of such horrific injuries to the worst of criminals, not innocent beach-goers who've made a naive mistake. And you are correct - in MY mind, she did not deserve it. Are you then suggesting that in YOUR mind someone taking a photo of a shark DID deserve to have both her hands chewed off ???? I agree with your point on 'debatability' if regarding the actions of people doing daft or dumb things has consequences.... ... but deserving is something different... She did not 'deserve to lose both hands'... its a rather firm punishment for someone naively taking a photo.... I stand by my comments - No one but the most extreme of criminals is actually 'deserving' of such horrific injuries. I would also argue that those suggesting otherwise have lost a sense of humanity and forgetting that they themselves at times in their lives have made silly and often dangerous mistakes... but they would not be 'deserving' of such horrific consequences. -
