Dog Barking Drama: When Neighbourly Conflicts Turn Threatening
Yes it does. The guy might love dogs for all you know. I do. But when they are allowed to bark all day, it is not cool. There is a massive difference between incessant yapping and occasionally barking at a stranger. -

Italian Found Dead After Fall from Ranong Bridge
Picture from responders. A 65-year-old Italian national has been found dead beneath a bridge in Ranong, after what appears to have been a fatal fall. The discovery was made by a local resident who had stopped at the bridge to relieve himself. At approximately 18:00 on 12 March, police in Ranong were alerted to the presence of a foreign man’s body lying face-down on the embankment of Khlong Rahat, beneath a bridge in the Khao Niwet area of Mueang Ranong district. The location was close to a national telecommunications company’s fence and around 100 metres from the site of the 2025 Annual Ranong Hot Spring Tourism Festival. The man who found the body reported that, while urinating by the bridge, he looked down and noticed a motionless figure among the tall grass. Concerned, he immediately alerted nearby traffic police officers stationed at the festival. Police investigators, forensic teams, and rescue workers were swiftly dispatched to the scene, with Pol. Lt. Col. Suphachai Boontham leading the initial inquiry. Ranong’s chief of police, Pol. Col. Thawatchai Suncharoen, later arrived to oversee the investigation. The deceased was identified as Mr Ricci Marco, a 65-year-old Italian tourist. His left cheek was resting against a concrete drainage pipe, and he had sustained serious facial injuries, including lacerations around the eye socket and cheek, as well as bruising to the throat and Adam’s apple. Forensic examiners estimated that he had died at least 10 hours or longer, before being found. His belongings were still on his person, and no other signs of foul play were detected. A key marked “B2” was discovered in his pocket, possibly indicating his accommodation. A local motorcycle taxi driver recalled seeing a foreign man behaving unsteadily near the festival entrance the previous night. Additionally, nearby residents reported hearing dogs barking loudly around midnight, which may indicate the approximate time of the incident. Investigators believe Mr Marco may have attempted to step over a water pipe to relieve himself at the bridge, a common practice among locals, when he lost his footing and fell approximately two metres, striking his head fatally. Authorities are currently working to contact the Italian embassy and Mr Marco’s family while continuing their inquiries into the circumstances of his death. His body has been transferred to Ranong Hospital for an autopsy. -- 2025-03-13 -

Tax Filing Experience: Jomtien [March-2025]
The training and ability of front-line Thai Revenue Department employees is abysmal. The initial person we interacted with took the leap between determination of whether our income is assessible and beginning to fish for our U.S. income and pulling out her calculator. I blame the above power point presentation that simplifies an enormously complex area of tax law together with the apparent inability to read either the Thai or English version of the applicable treaty. After an unpleasant back and forth with her including providing our English/Thai extracts of the Thai-U.S. tax convention she continued to maintain that somehow we owed taxes on our income and remittances. We demanded to see her supervisor whom we had interacted with before when we were considering moving pre-2024 savings who, after consulting with one of their staff attorneys recognized that my U.S. Social Security and local U.S. government pension were in fact as described in Sections 20 and 21 of the aforementioned treaty and not subject to Thai taxes, and were further more carved out for the standard savings clause in Section 1 paragraph 3a and 3b. I attach the relevant sections from the Thai-U.S. treaty. Once we were all on the same pages, smiles all around except for her minion who kept her head down as we left.
