I'm planning to stay in Thailand over 6 months. Would Thai government try to tax me?
And dont forget DTAs - they are something the local Thai taxpayers and the vast majority of TRD employees have no idea about. As posted by someone months ago, they went into and asked their local TRD Office Manager, and were told the DTAs were only for claiming tax credits. That is patently false - DTAs have two options - Credits and Exemptions. Trying to explain to Somchai in the Province TRD Office that your DTA means they cannot tax something, is not going to be easy - as things stand now. There has been ZERO training in Provincial TRD Offices as of last month - nothing about the new rule change (they are still waiting too) and zero about the DTAs for foreigners. Perhaps TRD is going to give a massive information dump in Nov/December - but maybe not. I think they are going to try to enforce the '12 month rule' removal first - that will keep them busy enough. But maybe Thaksin and all the other wealthy Thais with investments overseas are going to 'advise' the new PM to tell the TRD to drop implementation for a while - who knows. -

Financial Requirements to show Immigration for 60 Day visa
A bank-statement has NEVER been accepted in lieu of the cash. Further context - this was always just a ruse to deny entry to frequent visitors not paying their agents for "easy entry." When travelers started carrying the cash, the IOs generally stopped asking for this - just put a rejection-stamp in passports saying "didn't have the money," even though it was a lie. I would have the 20K worth of Cash, regardless - plus proof of accommodation and a flight out within 60-days. -

Woman Rides Electric Suitcase While Using Phone on Busy Bangkok Road
You've always carried an extremely negative bias for those using mobility scooters in Thailand.... For those of age who are too unstable to use motorcycle yet can't afford a car and struggle to walk long distances - the mobility scooter is the perfect solution. You (yes you, Safety First) also get caught behind samlors, street-food cart etc but you don't byatch and moan about those - because for some reason, you only have an 'anti-old-farang bias'.... I'm not sure why you begrudge someone the freedom of mobility. Sure, go ahead, tax them, insure them.... they would be legal then, but you would still moan about them. The reality is the pavements / sidewalks are shocking - IF they could be used by those on mobility scooters, then they would because I doubt people in mobility scooters want to be stuck out, vulnerable in the faster traffic... The fault lies with the authorities for not ensuring the footpaths are usable. Additionally - the accident you posted a photo also highlights your bias, even the truck was speeding across the junction at which the guy on the mobility scooter had right of way - the driver of the truck was in the wrong (even though, as you wrote at the time, other drivers break the law and speed through the junction without looking)....- 1

Jealous Husband Sets Woman on Fire, Leaves Her in Critical Condition
Just watched the first season of A Man In Full, when real estate mogul Charlie Croker faces bankruptcy, political and business interests collide, as he defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace. Very unexpected ending. -

Not in my understanding of the term. Enforcement can be any measure taken by authorities to ensure that people comply with established rules, regulations or societal norms. Fining people for not complying with 90 day reports absolutely constitutes an enforcement measure, as far as I'm concerned. Also, enforcement doesn't require that penalties be severe, only that penalties be applied. -

Government Policy?
A suitably reliable crystal ball would, of course, provide an instant answer to your question. Alas, however, none seem to be available on Lazada. ☹️ -

Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
but the company you love, toyota, seems to be convincing everyone that they know the future... toyota have been working on hydrogen-powered engines since 1992, and they've been very successful, as we can all see ... -
