15 Billion Expressway Project to Connect Koh Chang Boosting Trat’s Economy and Tourism
Its a smart move and a natural process in the development of a country / area. This effectively knocks an hour or more off the Journey from Bangkok to Koh Chang. Turning what can be 6 hour car journey unto a 4.5 hour car journey. The wait for the ferry at key periods - longs weekends etc is a key decision making factor for us (our family) in going to Koh Chang or not, we don't want to wait 1-2 hrs for the ferry - as it adds too much to the journey. I'm sure many others are making similar decisions - from an economics point of view this infrastructure development potentially provides a massive longe term economic boost the local economy of Koh Chang - although, there needs to be improvement in local infrastructure if the Island is to welcome more traffic as an express way onto 'narrow single lane roads' is going to cause gridlock on the Island, this the main road infrastructure also needs major development. "Bye bye Koh-Chang" as one poster put it - This certainly would change the character of the island, but, not everywhere can remain the same, development and growth is natural everywhere as the world gets smaller... ... and, as the world gets smaller it opens up greater access to further Islands such as Koh Kood and Koh Mak etc... which again, some people won't like... ... then again, we'll always have the people who comment "Pattaya was a nice fishing village 50 years ago"..... or "Phi Phi was once a paradise until mass tourism"... Their comments won't matter in the slightest in 30 years time... everywhere grows and develops. -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
For social security benefits the USA DTA is clear, but in many other DTA’s these are not mentioned at all, meaning that the national law applies. I am specifically interested in Dutch old age benefit AOW which is a social security benefit. In the discussions little reference is made to the Thai tax law and that surprises me. Article 40 of the Thai tax law defines and describes 8 types of income that is assessable income and I really can not place the Dutch AOW or any other social security benefit in one of these 8 categories, hence my conclusion that it can not be taxed and is not assessable income. But I am no tax lawyer so if a more knowledgeable person could point me out which of the 8 types applies or if none why it would still be taxable and by what rule, I would be grateful. Joop -
