Any change /new law shall be published in the Royal Gazette to become effective. Clause 1: Persons residing in Thailan...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

This would take a change in legislation which is normally a slow process in Thailand especially with an eleven-party coalition. A withholding tax or condition of visa extension would make implementation easy enough. But, imagine the negative effect on the Thai economy? Who is going to bring money in...

Re: Khao Tao Lake

If you look closely there are a number of similar items left hanging from the scaffolding, I count at least 5. They look like some sort of template or built in cover or similar and not all are the same.

Re: Khao Tao Lake

The platform could be the base of a new structure such as a water tank? There are unconcreted columns which suggests the platform will have a roof.

Re: Khao Tao Lake
