Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Not really Inter- Governmental Treaties will always favour Government workers. The other point to remember, is that when the UK - Thai DTA was signed off in the early 80''s. Very few people had Occupational Pensions and the UK State Pension was worth about £30 a month. Welfare / benefits is a different kettle of fish. The State Pension only became a ' Benefit ' around 2014, when the Pensions Act was amended and updated. Others are free to think why this was done. My own opinion is that is was done to make it easier to ' Means Test ' it, probably in the not too distant future. Agreed 100%. The UK State Pension and other forms of Pensions are all potentially taxable in Thailand. What happens in reality, remains to be seen. -

Appeal Launched for British Teacher Gravely Injured in Thailand Crash

Picture courtesy: Shropshire Star A fundraising campaign has gathered over £11,000 to support Andy Davis, a 33-year-old British teacher from Staffordshire, who sustained severe injuries in a crash on the Thai island of Krabi. Mr Davis, an English teacher abroad since 2016, suffered devastating injuries, including the loss of a leg, a shattered pelvis, and a torn bladder. His friend Mike Pugh explained that these injuries required urgent treatment on the mainland, which comes with a hefty price tag. While some costs may be covered by insurance, it’s estimated that medical expenses, including transferring Mr Davis to Bangkok for specialised care and eventually back to the UK, could exceed £30,000. Mr Pugh expressed hope that the funds raised could also allow Mr Davis to return home for Christmas as originally planned. However, the situation remains dire. Complications such as infections in his leg and pelvis and concerns about his torn bladder have made recovery more challenging. A further amputation may be necessary, adding to the financial and emotional burden. Mr Davis's parents have flown to Thailand to assist him, as he remains in and out of consciousness and unable to manage his care or insurance arrangements. Described as "incredibly laid back" and "genuinely nice," Mr Davis has touched the lives of many during his teaching career, which has taken him to countries like Thailand, Peru, Mexico, and Ecuador. His work recently focused on helping other Brits find teaching opportunities abroad. Mr Pugh, a close friend for over 20 years, said he was overwhelmed by the support the appeal has received, including donations from former students and friends worldwide. The response has been "heartwarming," reflecting the positive impact Mr Davis has had on others. Despite the challenges ahead, his friends and family remain committed to ensuring he receives the care he needs, with many rallying to show their support during this difficult time, reported BBC. -- 2024-11-20 -

British Tourist Attacked in Pattaya: Nose Broken, Eye Bruised; Authorities on the Hunt
Noting good EVER comes from excessive drinking. I wonder if some of the people who get drunk and behave badly in Thailand do the same in their own country?
