Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
What I wonder about is, if these potential "returnees" are so skilled, then theymust be getting a pretty good salary elsewhere - will there be any guarantees of higher salaries here? Just wondering and smiling at all the ways the Revenue Department of the govt seems to be searching for every baht possible. Wish they would let us know about the progress of the worldwide income taxation scheme. -

WR Life, no more direct billing with hospitals in TH
Re: "the market in recent months" as of May 8, 2024 Thai Covid policyholders offered deal by regulator Compensation fund struggling to meet policyholder demands During 2020-2022, a number of Thai insurers were heavily affected by Covid-19-related claims, particularly those who provided cover against infection but did not hold overseas reinsurance cover. ... The OIC explained back in 2021 as the pandemic raged worldwide that Thai customers could buy 200,000 to two million baht of coverage for only 450 to 1,200 baht a year. “Now insurance companies find themselves not only covering claims by people legitimately suffering from the virus, but also from economically desperate people who purposely got infected to collect insurance money,” stated the OIC as the folly of the strategy taken by a number of Thai insurers became clear. https://www.commercialriskonline.com/thai-covid-policyholders-offered-deal-by-regulator/ -

Officials Seize Six Million Meth Pills in Major Drug Bust in Chiang Rai
Officials Seize Six Million Meth Pills. Picture courtesy: AEC-TV online In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, Chiang Rai authorities have seized six million methamphetamine pills and arrested two suspects in a coordinated operation along the northern border. The operation also resulted in the confiscation of a pickup truck and a large motorcycle, further disrupting the drug smuggling activities in the region. Commander Narit Thavornwong of the Drug Suppression and Prevention Command detailed the crackdown initiated on July 30, focusing on Chiang Rai and Phayao provinces. Under the supervision of Major General Niranchai Thipkanjanakul, intensified border surveillance has been implemented to combat the movement of illicit drugs. The operation homed in on Thoeng District in Chiang Rai and Phusang District in Phayao. Last night, a joint effort involving the 2nd Division of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (Chiang Rai) and the Tak Army Task Force resulted in the arrest of two individuals. The arrest occurred in the Huadoi area, Tasai subdistrict in the Mueang district of Chiang Rai province. The suspects were apprehended with a pickup truck and a large motorcycle allegedly functioning as a lead vehicle. Authorities discovered methamphetamine pills concealed in 30 sacks, each holding around 200,000 pills. Consequently, the total haul amounted to a staggering six million pills. Commander Thavornwong mentioned that the arrests were part of a sustained monitoring campaign against drug smuggling along the northern border, especially in Mae Sai District. Intelligence from the 2nd Division of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau facilitated the successful tracking and interception of the suspects as they entered Mueang District in Chiang Rai. “These actions are part of ongoing efforts, including intensified interception measures, even during the challenging rainy season,” said Thavornwong. In related developments, a violent clash erupted in Chiang Rai when a drug trafficking caravan ignored officials' commands to stop. Armed traffickers engaged in a shootout with the authorities, resulting in the deaths of two traffickers after officers retaliated. This incident underscores the heightened risks and challenges faced by law enforcement in curbing drug trafficking. -- 2024-08-01 - 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.

Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers
Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers. Picture courtesy: The Bangkok Times A woman from Buriram is distressed after discovering 530,000 baht was mysteriously transferred from her bank account to accounts in China and Vietnam. Despite her insistence that she did not authorise the transactions, two banks are refusing to take responsibility, claiming the transactions appeared legitimate. Benjawan Supanam, a 35-year-old resident, reported to her banks that a substantial sum had vanished from her account. The two banks, Thanachart Bank and Krungthai Bank, suggested she herself made the transactions. Benjawan firmly denies this claim. Benjawan's husband, who works in South Korea, had been sending her money initially into her mother's Bangkok Bank account, which later changed to direct deposits into Benjawan’s Krungthai account, with recent deposits increasing to 80,000 baht monthly. She transferred the surplus to her Thanachart account, amassing savings of 560,000 baht for a new house. The trouble began on July 21 when Benjawan agreed to lend her aunt 200,000 baht. Upon checking her holdings the following day, she was shocked to find only 30,000 baht left instead of the 560,000 baht she had saved. According to bank records, the money had been transferred using her mobile banking app to Krungthai Bank and then forwarded in increments of 10,000 to 30,000 baht to China and Vietnam. Both banks suggested someone in Benjawan's household might have made the transfers, a claim she disputed, as her parents and young children are not tech-savvy and incapable of such actions. Suspicious that a serious fraud had occurred, the banks warned her against filing a police report, implying she could face legal repercussions for false allegations. Despite her distress, Benjawan obtained transaction records and subsequently lodged a complaint with Nong Song Hong Police Station. The police also advised her to reconsider filing the report to avoid potential legal complications. Trying to find some clarity, Benjawan received a cryptic phone call on July 22, claiming that the missing funds were due to a bank error and promising a refund by the next day. However, the money never reappeared. Benjawan remains in a state of extreme anxiety, urging the banks to re-examine the transactions or appeal for assistance from relevant authorities to resolve her financial nightmare. She is especially concerned since she typically receives transaction notifications through her banking app, making the situation even more perplexing. -- 2024-08-01 - 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.
