Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Really ? Agreed with the above ? TRC Section 40 Assessable income I'm only dealing pensions here. A Pension over 60k / 120k / 220k a year is assessable income according to Section 40 ( 1 ) of the Thai Revenue Code. And as a Thai Tax Resident I should file a tax return. Agreed ? So I file Tax Return as required by Law and then claim a Tax Exemption by providing the evidence that it is a Government Pension, and is only taxable in the UK according to the UK - Thai DTA. If I have a non Government pension, I also file a tax return, provide evidence of tax already paid in the UK, and will be issued with a ax credit that will be offset against any Thai Tax liability. The same process will apply to all the sources of income as listed here https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/revenue-code-assessable-income-and-income-tax-sections-40-64/ -

Report Robinhood Steers Thailand's Food Delivery Future as Foodpanda Exits
Photo of a Robinhood delivery rider courtesy of Bangkok Post Thailand’s food delivery landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, with Thai-native platform Robinhood stepping up to fill the void left by Foodpanda. On May 20, Robinhood announced a strategic agreement with Foodpanda Thailand, allowing for a seamless transition of customers, restaurant partners, and delivery riders before Foodpanda ceases operations on May 23. "This agreement marks a big moment in Thailand’s food delivery industry," stated Morakot Yipintsoi, CEO of Robinhood. He emphasized Robinhood’s commitment to ensuring a smooth, equitable transition prioritizing service quality and care. Foodpanda, part of Berlin-based Delivery Hero, had been grappling with financial challenges, holding a mere 5% market share and incurring losses of 13.8 billion baht from 2014 to 2023. Despite its wide presence across Thailand's 77 provinces, which included attempts to sell segments of its Southeast Asian operations, the decision to exit the Thai market was inevitable. For Robinhood, operated by Purple Ventures under the Yip In Tsoi Group, this transition presents an invaluable opportunity to bolster its position in Thailand’s competitive food delivery sector, projected to be worth US$4.2 billion by 2024. Currently, the industry is led by Grab with a 46% market share and LINEMAN Wongnai at 40%, while Robinhood holds a modest 2%, poised to grow significantly with Foodpanda’s exit. Initially launched during the pandemic by Siam Commercial Bank to support small businesses, Robinhood quickly gained traction with its no-commission model, a stark contrast to other platforms charging up to 40%. Though it now operates on a commercial basis, Robinhood maintains its ethos of fair pay, transparency, and fresh, non-batched deliveries. To cater to a broader audience, Robinhood has enhanced its app with more English-friendly features, appealing to foreign users in popular tourist destinations like Pattaya. The company plans to extend its reach beyond Bangkok to key cities by the end of the year. Additionally, the introduction of Robinhood Mart—a marketplace for Thai handicrafts targeting international customers—highlights its ambition to evolve into a comprehensive “Thai Super App.” As the food delivery industry increasingly pivots from an emphasis on discounts to focusing on quality and sustainability, Robinhood is positioned to disrupt the potential dominance of Grab and LINEMAN Wongnai, preventing a duopoly and fostering a diverse market landscape.

Crime Thai Singer Sek Loso Sentenced to 3 Years Without Parole
Justice is always 'selective' here. Thai TV through the years has shown CCTV of well-connected people gunning down others in broad daylight (shopping center, gas station restroom. etc.). They rarely face any real jail time. You need to be on the 'right' side of the tracks here if you want to act with impunity. Does RedBull kid ring a bell?
