Excuse my ignorance but under what circumstances would a farlung require a gun in Thailand?

Granted if living in Southern Thailand where there may be a need due to ethnic violence, but then I would leave that area.

Like in the West, I would imagine they would require a gun if they felt that they had a small p3nis or felt sexually inferior to other men. Assuming that moving to Thailand didn't solve them of that.

But their Thai wife's can, and do. That's how they get around the law. 

Why in Gods name would a farang need a gun, unless:

a.  you have a death wish

b. you want to spend many many years in a Thai prison

c. you are American and don't feel right if you are not packing heat.  If you are, see A and B above.

Guns, bow & arrows etc, can be a fun hobby, not all guns etc are used to kill, ya know.

I never killed anyone with mine....😋

PS. Check out the Olympics Games for guns, bow & arrows, spears etc....😊

umm, so all farangs with a gun are potential Olympic participants.  Well its an interesting argument when explaining yourself to the police. 😀

You have a gun then....?     🤣

I have one for each day of the week. I like to fondle it when I drive around in my lifted pickup truck. You will know it's me because I have Punisher and American flag stickers on the rear window.

True. Hand guns however...

Hand guns are made for killing. They ain't no good for nothing else. And if you like to drink your whiskey. You might even shoot yourself 😉

Why a foreigner need to own a gun, in Thailand?

If "you" need one, "you" get one from a influential person, who gives you his/her gun.

After use, "you" throw it away and aside a notice "registered to influential persons", there is no media mentioning about it, afterwards, who the gun belongs too. And how "you" got in possession of it.

I had hand guns, I never shot anyone, I used them in competitions and my fun. 

I could never shoot myself because I was trained, plus I never carried my .357 or .44 magnum anywhere but to the range. 😎

It's not the responsible and mentally capable that concerns me. The last thing Thailand needs is a proliferation of handguns (or any guns for that matter). And I just like the Lynyrd Skynyrd lyric 🤠

Just keep the guns out of the hands of visitors.

Sounds like being self reliant. I'm American but don't pack a gun. But, I don't feel I need one.

      News Forum - Thai tax riddle: Elite Visa holders off the hook?

      Quote:- A group member claimed, after attending a webinar, that Elite members might be exempt from needing a tax number or filing tax forms, potentially aligning them with the tax-friendly Long Term Residence (LTR) visa holders, who enjoy no personal taxation on overseas income sent to Thailand. Thailand thinks it is OK to implement a new taxation regime, as required under their implementation of the CRS requirements and in order for preferential trade with EU and to join OECD one day. BUT then they provide an exemption to those Expats who are wealthy enough to buy an expensive long term Visa? Well if that is true, they can go fornicate themselves if they expect 'ordinary' Expats like me to pay any income taxes in Thailand under any circumstances. Australia is a member of the OECD and if Thailand ever hits us with an income taxation bill, we will be moving back to Australia and lodging a formal complaint seeking re-imbursement of any taxes paid to Thailand. I am retired, but I will put in the effort to seek others to lodge a 'group case' against TRD Thailand, and I will kick up the biggest stink I can make (never to return obviously). Judging by how this place works - anything on social media that causes them embarrassment or potential damage to their tourism, does get addressed by the Thai authorities.
