2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
I received my mail satisfactorily at my house until 2018. Then, I noticed two books were two months overdue as well as a letter from immigration 30 days overdue (immigration showed me when they sent it). I called the Taling Chan post office only to find that mail delivery to my house had been rerouted through a sub office somewhere. The sub office had all three items laying around inside the office. They didn't know what to do with them. That day, I went down and got a PO Box. It's only 500 baht/year. Well worth it. -

Politics Thai Judicial Scandals: Dismissals Amid Allegations
Picture courtesy of ThaiPost In a heated session chaired by Supreme Court President Chanakarn Theeravejpolkul at the Justice Court Building in Bangkok, serious judicial misconduct cases were addressed, highlighting systemic issues within Thailand's legal framework. The meeting opened with a review of a judicial official who had allegedly filed an unjust lawsuit against a colleague. Seen as a minor offence, it warranted a reprimand. However, since the individual had already left service, no further action was taken. The spotlight then turned to a high-profile corruption case involving a judicial official accused of demanding bribes to influence a legal outcome. Allegedly requesting 175 million baht (approximately 5.28 million USD), later reduced to several million, from a former People’s Democratic Reform Committee leader, the act led to the official's dismissal. The allegations, tied to a political protest sentencing, have now been referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for further scrutiny. A particularly disturbing case involved a senior judge accused of sexual harassment and assault aboard a second-class sleeper train travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The judge, involved in a seminar trip, allegedly engaged in abusive actions towards a female subordinate, leading to his recommended dismissal. This incident, now part of a police report, underscores the severity of misconduct allegations reaching the committee. Another complex scenario focused on a judge who authorised a temporary release during an appeal, contrary to an earlier rejection by the appellate court. Investigations are underway to uncover whether financial incentives influenced this decision. Notably, this judge is also involved in the train harassment case, raising further concerns about integrity and ethical conduct. These cases collectively paint a troubling picture of challenges within Thailand's judiciary. The allegations of bribery, harassment, and questionable legal decisions not only demand rigorous investigation but also call for systemic reforms to restore public trust. Moving forward, thorough analyses by bodies like the NACC are crucial to ensure accountability and uphold the values of justice. As these investigations progress, they may lead to more significant reforms within the legal sector, aimed at enhancing transparency and ethical conduct. The Thai judiciary, now under intense scrutiny, must work diligently to address these issues, ensuring that justice is served with integrity, free from corruption and misconduct.

Report Thailand to Mandate Tax Declarations for All Citizens by 2027
Maybe or maybe not. It says 'every Thai citizen' - which presumably means based on their 13 digit national ID as filing/tracking. In any case, if you're a foreigner and earning money in Thailand from a Thai source you should already be paying tax on it. -

What Books Are You Reading ? (2025)
Yuvai Noah Harari who thinks that all the useless eaters should be eliminated. <laughs> I should actually read one of his books, like Nexus. Like reading essays from Foreign Relations and the WEF publications, it's give you an idea what the true sociopaths who want to rule the world in their image, are thinking. I'll queue it up in my non-fiction queue and do my best to set aside my bias regarding his world-view regarding the "little people."
