Report Clear Pricing Mandate: Thai Restaurants Face 10,000 Baht Fines
Menus should include item names in Thai — it helps people learning the language, and it’s only natural for Thai people to expect menus in their own language in their own country -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
"Almost completely Arab" is a bit of an overstatement, but Jews, Israeli and non-Israeli, share a common ancestor with Arabs. The article below is from the heavy duty American Journal of Human Genetics. Abraham's Children in the Genome Era: Major Jewish Diaspora Populations Comprise Distinct Genetic Clusters with Shared Middle Eastern Ancestry Here, genome-wide analysis of seven Jewish groups (Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Italian, Turkish, Greek, and Ashkenazi) and comparison with non-Jewish groups demonstrated distinctive Jewish population clusters, each with shared Middle Eastern ancestry, proximity to contemporary Middle Eastern populations, and variable degrees of European and North African admixture. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3032072/ On a less technical level: Jews and Arabs Share Recent Ancestry Clashing groups are Y chromosome cousins https://www.science.org/content/article/jews-and-arabs-share-recent-ancestry -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
What means clarity and whose clarity? I believe the saying This Is Thailand applies here. BoI (Board of Investment) for Thailand are clear - no Thai tax on remitted income for some LTR categories. ie Exempt from Thai tax on remitted foreign income are Wealthy Global Citizens, Wealthy Pensioners and Work-from-Thailand Professionals (while the Highly-Skilled Professionals category pay 17% Thai tax on remitted foreign income (if not protected by a DTA)). However ... in practice ... in Thailand ... the 'devil can be in the details' ... or in how this is (or is not) applied. One of the users on this forum, noted they called a Thai Revenue Department help line and asked that very question about LTR visa being exempt from Thai tax and the Thai tax calculation. My recollection, after a bit of waiting (while the Thai Revenue Department person answering the help line went to check) they subsequently received a verbal answer that there was no Thai tax on the noted selected LTR visa holders remitted foreign income to Thailand. Now - having typed that, an official at a local RD office where I live, never heard of the LTR visa. Further, a user JackGats, on this forum, who has an LTR visa, reported on this thread he ended up having his remitted income in 'essence taxed'. If I understand his post correctly, at a local RD office (when he filed a tax return) the local RD official used JackGat's foreign remitted income to Thailand, to cancel out his request to have a refund of the withholding tax on his interest from a Thai bank. ... Which in essence means he was taxed equal to the withholding tax refund he had coming to him. My understanding this was from a LOCAL RD office (and not the main RD office in Bangkok). My view is each local RD office quite possibly goes their own way here. What is encouraging thou, is the main RD office in Bangkok, have been clear no Thai tax on remitted income for selected LTR visa holders. ... Its just some local RD offices either do not know of the LTR visa, or they see the tax situation differently (than the main Bangkok RD office). As I noted, This is Thailand. That can often mean 100% clarity is an elusive thing.
