Skype Winding Up.
I would be careful - Teams is a business application that is designed for people in business sharing documents and having calls/video conferences and it syncs data between their servers and the businesses that use the product. It is not intended for home/consumer use and IMO would be a concern - especially if you are using bank apps on your phone/laptop that you install Teams on. IMO it will be a cluster**** as MS always screw things up, so I will use a stand alone call service/app only, and watch and wait and see what MS does over the next year or two. Many people, like me, used Microsoft POP email services - and then they just canned it. Because Exchange via 365 is their preferred business model for businesses, and they dont really want the consumer customers - security reason for the change was BS. Hooking into Teams will probably be a bad move for a consumer customer - wait and see is my opinion. -

News Forum - Pattaya hotel thief targets expat and transwoman
"Big (or older) brother... Someone providing guidance or protection... it's not just about government oversight... expand your vocabulary" guessing it depends on the definition you search for. "Big Brother [ˈbɪɡ brʌðə] noun a person or organization exercising total control over people's lives: "Big Brother will be watching you from this week when spy cameras start to operate in Essex" · "for executives who want the Big Brother touch, there are monitoring systems to keep track of employees" In this definition it is a 'person or organisation exercising total control over peoples lives' This is of course the most widely understood meaning of the phrase and only the perverse would go out of their way to track down another definition to try to score petty points in an unimportant forum. -

News Forum - Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
I hear you mate - and although I dont disagree, I will say a few things. The DTA was created/made for business related tax issues - both the organisations and the individuals who work for that organisation. At the time of creation Thailand did not apply any Personal income taxes to people on money that they brought into Thailand from overseas. The intent of the document and clauses was not meant to cover for personal tax issues as such - and certainly not an Expat receiving a Government Pension or other similar Government payments. There is no way that the UK, or any other Government, would be happy to pay their tax payer's money to Thailand as a tax on the Pensions and other payments they make - that is definitely not the intent of the DTAs - it was not covered in the DTA setup. Advice that a Govt Pension being 'taxable' is just opinion - it has not be formally stated to by the Thai Taxation Court/Tribunal, nor agreed to by any other DTA country. Interpretation is being stated everywhere as fact - it is not a fact until verified officially by TRD and/or a Thai Court - and neither of them have stated that another Government's pension payment to a person in Thailand is a taxable payment. It is a total cluster**** that has been extremely poorly and incompetently managed. It was all full blaze on Expats under the previous PM, but as soon as Thaksin became PM the matter went very quiet and TRD made no further statements. I take that as they are thinking about it again and will probably change/clarify things in the future. The ONLY thing clear and a fact, is that money made overseas by a Thai tax resident after 1 January 2024, is no longer exempt from income taxes if it is brought into Thailand after 12 months and not in the same year it was earned. That is it - everything else is speculation and opinion. That speculation includes that Thailand will be moving to a global based income tax system, such that any money earned overseas is taxable in the year it is made, irrespective of whether it is brought into Thailand or not - but I do think that will eventually happen in the years ahead.
