Prosecutors say time is running out to prosecute fugitive Red Bull heir, Vorayuth Yoovidhya, and that they’re unable to extradite him…because they don’t know what address to write down in the extradition warrant. The heir to the Red Bull energy drink empire was charged on 2 counts in the death of a Bangkok police officer killed in a hit-and-run collision with Vorayuth’s Ferrari in 2012. The charge brought onto him for cocaine use is set to expire in September this year. Vorayuth has also been charged with reckless driving causing the death of another, with the statute of limitations on […]

Can it be that there is very little will to do so?

I'm sure no criminals escape justice in your country? 

Or is it because your countries police just cant be bothered? 

I know the murder solve rate in my city is under 50% last time I read about it. Any given killer has a good chance of going scot free! 

So I guess I can conclude no one wants to do anything about it. Right?

The murder solve rate needs to identify a subject.

This is a very know person, from a very known family with lots of money

Who still needs a passport, to travel.

You see there no difference to the unsolved murders with not known killers in your city?

Also interesting that you have always an example from your city, to things going "not well" here in Thailand. Which has a CPI of 110. What's the CPI of your country?

Indeed.

You mean, like Tony Woodsome?

Yes, the details are different, the result is not, and the assumption about why (official apathy) seems suspect either way.

Consumer Price Index? 

I think we're getting slight off topic. I'll just leave it at that unless you want to take this to AOD With a new clear topic 

I'll even create it if you're shy (PM me your preferred topic):

They don't wanna have T.S. also, yes. In the country, he would even be a bigger problem for the power that be!

Corruption Perception Index

Just take a look. Before it becomes a obsession,  to defend the well known corruption in Thailand!

Passports are good for 10 years. He allegedly  ran over the Sargent in 09/2012. His passport will have to be renewed before the statute of limitations expire in 2027. I'm  certain it will not matter and will be explained away as easily as "we have no address".  

Thai police should be embarrassed to be classified as either totally corrupt or totally Incompetent.

But he's a major figure, well known, needs a passport to travel, from a wealthy background, and hasn't been caught...? Surely, it's a sign that no one is motivated to catch Mr. "Woodsome"?

Or maybe Tony "brown enveloped" his way into the good graces of Thailand, because they're only greedy corrupt mercenaries whose only concern is money. Right?

Ah, yes, ok. And? So if my city score is low and Thailand's is high, and my city has THE SAME PROBLEMS would you agree that they are just ordinary problems of any city? 

Or that my city has hidden it's corruption better? 

Or maybe my city "brown enveloped" it's way into the CPI publishers because...maybe they're corrupt too? 

Are we off topic yet?

Passort?, who needs a passport. The filthy rich can buy a passport in over half the countries on the planet. 

Sanction Red Bull 3 or 4 billion dollars and the family will have him in front of a Bangkok judge the following day.

After all, greed takes precedense with most of these people.

Passports are good for 5 year, but as they must be valid a least 6 months before entering a country, that makes it 4,5 years

What nationality? My passport goes for 5 year (European), and I know Thai passports also go for 5 years.

      News Forum - Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance

      It is now November and Thai Tax Office (TRD) has still not released clarifications or details, nor have they released their annual 'How to complete PIT Tax Guides'. Talk about incompetent and disorganised - the biggest change to income taxation is this country for many decades, and they still have not provided what in every western country would be mandatory BEFORE the new taxation rule was changed - details on how the change will impact people, and training for the tax professionals, and detailed Q&A for all. A mate I know in Pattaya is planning a move with some friends there, to Cambodia or Vietnam. They want to spend time in Pattaya, because they are all very 'comfortable' there - lots of Expats and services and they know what is where and when etc.. So what they plan to do, if this goes ahead and Expats are 'nailed to the cross', is to base themselves over there and visit Thailand 2 times a year (maybe 3 if OK) for 3 months at a time. They reckon and I agree, that if you come in as a Tourist they cannot hit you with income taxes - under the Income Taxation Act Tourists are not subject to income taxation - only residents living here. It looks like how it will work is that if TRD is made aware (by Thai banks) of a Foreigner receiving over X Million Baht is foreign deposits (X = 2, 5, 10?) and they have no tax return/s in that name, they will verify with Immigration if they are a long-stay Expat (retired, married, working, etc). If they are on a long-stay Non-Immigration Visa then they may get in contact and ask why do tax return/s. Many people think it is all too hard and TRD will just continue to 'let it go' for Expats, but there is also the concern that the Govt is hammering the TRD to introduce a new taxation system and to enforce compliance a lot more. They need more taxation in order to meet the Budget shortfall due to a declining economy, ageing population, and the need to pay for all the 'stimulus programs' (vote buying) they have been doing and will do it the future. Reducing the public service and slowing waste and corruption is never mentioned of course. Unfortunately, Expats would be caught up in that new system and new enforcement. No one knows for sure what will happen (still) but I do know this, any retired/married Expat who willingly raises their heads so TRD can see them (lodges a tax return) is IMO risking a lot of trouble. Wait and watch is my plan - wait and watch.
