News Forum - Boy suffers electric shock from claw machine in Thai mall
After an hour, the boy continued to complain of pain in his hand, prompting the mother to contact the mall’s rental area department to request an electrician. Two hours later, the claw machine manager called to apologise and revealed that the mall’s electrician had confirmed an electrical leak. The mall blamed the lessee for not grounding the machine. Unbelievable, but true - in Thailand so many electrical devices and appliances are not earthed because they are connected to a 2-pin power outlet. Just like this machine installed in a Mall, I bet the power plug was 2-pins and the machine itself was roughly handled between it source and installation in the Mall. I have seen people shaking and pushing those machines too - yet another way to get a loose live wire touching metal inside. Lucky the boy was not killed - unlike so many others that are killed in Thailand due to the endemic ignorant management of electricity here. -

News Forum - Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
Yes Indeed. Stay away from both TRD and any Expat 'Tax Expert' in Thailand. The Thai Tax system for PIT is very much 'old school' and it is up to the individual to calculate their taxes due and to then pay that amount. The vast majority of Thais do not do a tax return and TRD does not operate anything like the Tax Office in western countries (thank goodness). The DTAs very much exclude Thailand from assessing as taxable income monies paid to an Expat in another Country by another Government (Pensions and other Welfare Payments) - unless they are a Permanent Resident or Citizen of Thailand. There are many exclusions, impositions, interpretations and unknowns - the whole Taxation system in Thailand is very 'fluid' in the interpretations of the various Rules and parts of the Taxation Law with regards to PIT. When they are not sure, the TRD seeks answers from the Taxation Court, because TRD is not a world class well-managed Tax Department in any way shape or form. Keep quiet, ignore the shrills and grifters, and wait - unless you work in Thailand and/or earn money overseas from any of the items that TRD details as taxable income, and also brought that money into Thailand after 1 Jan 2024. 1. Salaries and wages (including income from stock options, house rent allowance and other fringe benefits) 2. Hire of work, office of employment or service rendered 3. Goodwill, copyright, franchise, patent, other rights, annuity, etc. 4. Interest, dividend, bonus for investors, gain on amalgamation, acquisition or dissolution of a company or partnership, gain on transfer of shares, cryptocurrencies or digital tokens. 5. Lease of property, breach of hire-purchase and instalment sale contract 6. Income from liberal professions, such as law, medicine, engineering, architecture, accountancy and fine arts 7. Income from a contract of work whereby the contractor provides essential materials other than tools 8. Income from business, commerce, industry and income other than as specified in (1) – (7). -

News Forum - Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
The only thing that will change is hopefully the authorities will crack down on these so called subject matter experts and their dodgy Falang legal firms and YouTube channels trying to drum up a frenzy of fear amongst Expats and Pensioner's about Tax Law in order to get them into the Office to sell them other products. To many dodgy Falang working illegally in restricted jobs trying to sell advice on something they're not qualified in. Anyone worried about this matter only needs to download their relevant DTA (Double Taxation Agreement) and read it.- 1
