Unplesant surprise for online order (iHerb), VAT/duty precollect
Seems the rule for collecting VAT on imports less than 1500 Baht is in effect? Today I wanted to order some supplements/vitamins from iHerb as done in the past. Unpleasant surprises. They precollect VAT for orders less 1500 Baht. They precollect VAT and import duty for more than 1500. Max 3 items per order! Flash Express as only shipment option. Free shipment over 40 USD. Ordering becomes a math puzzle now. -

50,000 baht request from Thai long time friend.
From what I have seen they organise all the wake and cremation etc and then after people attending at the home or temple before the cremation day usually contribute whatever they wish in an envelope. This is then used to pay most or all of the cost . Everything is organised on either a small deposit for main things or good faith if they know the person. Also I'm sure the insurance companies usually pay out around 10% of any policy for covering the service expenses. They then pay out the remaining policy amount either shortly after the cremation or in some cases it can take up to 6 months. -

Paetongtarn Shinawatra Becomes Thailand's Prime Minister (short)
It’s hard for me to conceive that the PMs father ran away from the country for like 15 years her and the day before sentencing left the country even though she was heavily guarded they both live. The billionaire lifestyle comes back to Thailand doesn’t spend 24 hours in jail gets his years cut down to almost nothing now he’s free. I saw a picture of wearing his official white uniform and I can’t understand how these people can put up with all this nonsense, this would make for a soap TIT -

‘Epitome of injustice’ Child Rapist Ex-Cop Gets Just 10 Weekends in Jail
This is so incredible that I actually had to Google it to check if it was a wind up! Sad to report it seems to be true. Ten weekends of imprisonment beggars belief; he should be locked up for every year of the probation and then some. The 13 year old girl will suffer every day and not just the weekends. I am not an advocate for vigilante justice but things like this make me consider it. -

Mother and Daughter Fatally Shot in Hut, Two-Year-Old Injured
Update Police Officers Hailed for Heroic Effort After Killing of Two Suspects in Intense Shootout A dramatic video capturing the tense moments of a deadly confrontation between police officers and a notorious suspect, identified as Chatchai, alias “Gear,” has been released by the Bangkok Investigation Division (IDMB). The footage shows the brave efforts of officers in the midst of a violent shootout that ultimately led to the suspect's death. (Video is below) The incident took place on August 18, when officers from the Samut Sakhon Provincial Police Investigation Unit, Bang Thorat Police Station, and the Region 7 Investigation Team attempted to apprehend Chatchai. The suspect had been wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Samut Sakhon Provincial Court, following his alleged involvement in a serious firearms-related offense. On August 17, Chatchai was reported to have committed a horrific crime, fatally shooting two women, aged 62 and 22, and severely injuring a 2-year-old girl. The shootings occurred in broad daylight, extending into the evening. The police intensified their efforts to locate and capture him. Early on the morning of August 18, law enforcement tracked Chatchai to a house in Phrom Buri District, Sing Buri Province. As police moved in to make the arrest, Chatchai violently resisted, opening fire and wounding Police Lieutenant Itthiphan Chainaa, the Deputy Investigation Inspector of the Samut Sakhon Provincial Police. Lt. Itthiphan was shot in the left ankle and above the right knee. In response, officers returned fire in self-defense, resulting in Chatchai being fatally shot. Two handguns were recovered from the scene. The video, which was released on the IDMB Facebook page, shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting, with fellow officers rushing to provide first aid to the injured Lt. Itthiphan and calling for an ambulance. -- 2024-08-19 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Police Advisory Board Member Shoots and Kills Sergeant in Hua Hin Pub
Ah yes, the old shift the blame game, Chief. If the club was licensed and wasn't laxed about firearms in the club, this would not have occurred. Max, 99, you have to arrest the club owner and charge him with the murder. -

Taxation on UK Pensions Assets in Thailand: State Pension, SIPPs, Annuities QROPS and QNUPs
I did not want to discuss this further, but i consider that there is no misunderstanding. Most UK related arguments simply do not recognise that DTA's need to specifically state where there are provisions for pensions. The advice that I have seen on many legal advice websites states something like this for pensions = If there are no special rules in the DTA to say that it is not taxable, then it is potentially taxable in Thailand. But only if the pension is transferred or remitted into Thailand (as the rules currently stand). I have seen websites that specifically state that State and private pensions in the UK are taxable in Thailand (but you can use tax already paid as a credit). There are no special rules for pensions in general in the UK DTA, except for those from government service. This is why there is the advice that pension income is potentially taxable here Why would there need to be special rules exempting government service as stated in article 19, if all pensions are exempt from DT? What most people do not understand is that DTA’s mostly have a standard format that is the same. People disagreeing on UK need to go and look at them. Other country DTA’s have specific provision for pensions, but the UK does not. e.g. Canada article 18 , Australia article 18. The UK does not have this in article 18. Be warned. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
One of the most wonderful bits of Russian (and their Western cheerleaders) disingenuousness is the whole "Nazi" shtick. While Ukraine did have a problem with guys who used their symbols etc, they did a far better job cleaning that up than Russia, which still employs the Nazi-loving/admiring Rusich and up until Putin murdered him, an organization led by a man covered in SS tattoos. The hypocrisy is awe-inspiring. -
