Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
TRD changed one simple rule regarding remittances, the implications of the change are that foreign tax resident no longer have a loop hole through which to avoid Thai tax on remittances. The rule change was widely broadcast and is simple enough to understand, even for dullards and those people who are not tax savvy. Put yourself in TRDs shoes, what more can you reasonably expect TRD to feel the need to do. What justification is there for TRD to pander to the anxieties and insecurities of the foreign community? The Revenue rules are there, in English and there's lots of ways you can get assistance with tax. International and local tax consultants operate here and English is widely spoken. 100's of 1000's of foreigners may not have paid Thai tax before but they know what tax is and they've certainly paid it in their home country, this is not something that is uniquely Thai that they've never heard of before. Many foreigners were required to file tax returns before the rule change but didn't, because they didn't think it applied to them! Now, many more foreigners are required to file tax returns, I'm pretty certain that fewer people will ignore the need this time around!! The private sector picked up on the potential for increased tax consultancy fees and has marketed their tax advisory services by providing tax information, aggressively....social media is awash with information on the subject. What exactly could TRD do to reinforce the message that they're serious about this, perhaps take out half page ads in the Bangkok Post saying, we're not joking! No, this is your problem, not the TRD's. If you're expecting a last minute change of heart or for this whole business to go silent and die a death, you are grasping at straws. And those people who are waiting for personalised letters to appear in the mail giving individual instructions regarding what to do, well, words fail me on this point. -

Spike in American's interest in moving abroad post election -- hot air yet again?
All above you listed looks good. How about pollution? How many days / months air is real bad? LA used to be real bad in '70's to 90's, for 3-4 months. Now it's much better. Red alerts are rare. https://www.numbeo.com/pollution/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&city1=Los+Angeles%2C+CA&country2=Thailand&city2=Chiang+Mai -

Panic as Ammonia Gas Leak Sends 18 Employees to Hospital in Pattani
A hazardous ammonia gas leak at an ice manufacturing plant in Pattani has left 18 employees hospitalised after they inhaled the toxic fumes. The leak, which occurred early morning on November 13, caused widespread panic and prompted immediate evacuation efforts. At around 09:00, Pol. Col. Jeffrey Silaimanakul, the Chief of Pattani City Police, received reports of the gas leak at the Sofar Ice Factory, located in Talubo Subdistrict, Mueang Pattani District. The ammonia fumes quickly spread across the area, overwhelming the workers inside the building. Responding to the emergency, local authorities, including the police, administrative officers, and fire fighters, rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the ammonia gas leaking extensively from the factory’s storage tanks. Firefighters deployed fire trucks to spray water currents in an effort to dilute the gas and prevent it from dispersing further into the air. Simultaneously, emergency teams wearing breathing apparatus entered the building to close the gas valve and stop the leak. While efforts to control the leak were underway, numerous workers began showing symptoms of ammonia poisoning, including dizziness, difficulty breathing, eye irritation, and in some cases, vomiting. The authorities quickly coordinated with rescue teams from Pattani City, Talubo, Rusamilae, and the Pattani Provincial Disaster Rescue Service. Ten ambulances were dispatched to transport the affected workers to Pattani Hospital for medical treatment. According to workers at the factory, the incident occurred while employees were inspecting the ammonia gas storage area. During the inspection, a metal object fell onto the gas pipeline, causing it to rupture and release a large amount of ammonia into the building. Workers immediately fled the building to escape the fumes and alerted authorities. Following the incident, Pattani Governor Patima Sadiyamu visited the site and established an emergency operations centre to manage the crisis and ensure public safety. The authorities used loudspeakers to instruct nearby residents to stay clear of the affected area. Local schools and childcare centres were temporarily closed as a precaution, and parents quickly arrived to pick up their children. The Governor also instructed public health officials and medical teams at Pattani Hospital to conduct thorough checks on the health of residents in the surrounding area.

Former Local Council Member Shot Dead While Tapping Rubber Trees, Mistaken for Boar
A former member of the Sri Song Rak Subdistrict Municipal Council in Loei Province was tragically shot and killed while working in a rubber plantation, reportedly mistaken for a wild boar by a local hunter. The body of the victim, 64-year-old Mr. Somjit Sopradit, was discovered in the forest approximately 12 kilometres from the village of Nam Phu, in the Dan Sai District. At around 13.00 on November 13, Pol. Lt. Chaiyut Kosajan, Deputy Inspector of the Dan Sai Police Station, was alerted to a death in a nearby forest area. Authorities, including forensic specialists, medical staff from Dan Sai Hospital, and rescue teams, immediately proceeded to the remote scene, reachable only by four-wheel-drive vehicles. Upon arrival, officials found Mr. Somjit’s body lying on his back. He was dressed in a white T-shirt with a military-style camouflage jacket and long black pants, without shoes. A single gunshot wound to the neck, suspected to be from a hunting rifle, was observed on the right side, exiting through the left side of his neck. There were no spent casings or signs of struggle near the scene, According to his son, Mr. Apisit Sopradit, 25, his father regularly went to the plantation on his motorbike to tap rubber and usually returned home by 21.00. When he did not come home the previous night, family members went looking but could not locate him. Early the next morning, his son resumed the search and discovered his father’s lifeless body. Initially, they thought Mr. Somjit might have succumbed to illness, but closer inspection revealed a gunshot wound to the neck. Authorities were notified immediately. Mr. Apisit noted that his father had no known disputes with anyone, leading the family to believe the incident was likely an accident. Given the presence of wild boar tracks in the area, it is suspected that a hunter mistook Mr. Somjit for an animal. Local residents frequently hunt in the surrounding forest, raising the possibility that the shooter may have been unaware of his presence. Investigators from Dan Sai Police Station are continuing to collect evidence and pursue leads to apprehend the shooter. Mr. Somjit’s body will be sent to Loei Hospital tomorrow for an autopsy to confirm the exact cause of death as the investigation continues. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-14
