News Forum - Thailand’s new tax twist: Overseas earners spending 180 days face income tax
The money you receive from any income pension is classed as income and most income is taxed and it's only partially tax free, example from the UK https://www.unbiased.co.uk/discover/pensions-retirement/managing-a-pension/tax-on-pensions As you know places such as Pattaya where presumably the 'rednecks' you refer to congregate first boomed as an R&R destination for US servicemen during the Vietnam war, so to completely discount the value of someone spending money earned overseas in Thailand to see them as 'freeloaders' is to not recognize how some of these places sprung up to begin with. The retiree visa wouldn't have been around for so long if it wasn't financially beneficial to Thailand's economy and countries such as the Phillippines wouldn't be launching campaigns to attract foreign retirees if it wasn't seen to benefit their economy. You write as if the expat retirees can walk into Vipavadee hospital in Bankgok slam down their fist and exclaim "Give me my free medical treatment god d---m it! " You can see retail investment representatives coming out today to highlight the policy would hurt the economy: https://thethaiger.com/news/business/proposed-foreign-income-tax-could-harm-small-retail-investors-warns-jitta-ceo To defend questionable policy making with the old chestnut 'don't like it go home' isn't insightful because nations set up bilateral agreements which is why double taxation treaties were set up in the first place. -

News Forum - Thai woman sexually harassed on public bus by masturbating pervert in Nakhon Nayok
Well.....just courious. Why did she has to pay attention and record the entire session along the journey? She could very well change the seat as this guy is on sitting on the inner side. Easy for her to move to another seat, unless there is no vacant seats available in the bus. However I am sure the bus is not fully occupied. -

Any little thing out of the ordinary and next minute people are buying lottery tickets based on some random superstition it’s kinda funny but also a little sad but I guess it’s everybody’s favorite fantasy. -

Some people work as contractors and if they aren't living in their home country they either don't have to pay tax or get a big tax break The US, your 1st 120k is tax free if you live outside the US for a certain amount of time (basically not at all) Many oil workers aren't taxed in the countries they work in as well So if you are from the UK, it's tax free and if from US, the 1st 120k is tax free
