WWW.PATTAYAMAIL.COMUpbeat expat news on foreign income taxes coming soonThai expats are looking forward to some welcome tax news. According to a news report in Bangkok Post, the Thai Revenue Department (TRD) is finalizing legislation to appear in the Royal Gazette about foreign income transferred here. Director-general Pinsai Suraswadi said the new law will exempt from personal taxation resident individuals who bring foreign-sourced income into Thailand, provided that they transfer the cash in the calendar year, or the following successor year, in which it was earned. Under current rules with effect from January 1 2024, foreign-sourced income is subject to personal income tax no matter when transferred after December 31 2023. That ruling by TRD, which applied to Thais or foreigners staying in Thailand six months or more in a calendar year created bombshell publicity amongst the expat community, especially retirees on pensions. The prospective law, which could be made retrospective to January 2025 or even to January 2024, will be an amendment to current legislation and will require the approval only of the Cabinet and the Council of State. TRD reckons that the repatriation of an estimated 2 trillion baht tax-free cash from abroad, mostly from Thai nationals, will stimulate the economy. Expats will remain on tenderhooks until the actual detail is in print. Will it apply to them or only to Thai passport holders (surely both)? Will ambiguous terms such as assessable income or liable income persist? Who precisely will need to register with TRD if they have not done so already? The new law is not expected to expand TRD responsibility for worldwide income of resident tax payers. It is only income actually transferrred to Thailand which is the issue. On a separate matter, the Cabinet has approved a TRD proposal to exempt personal income tax on capital gains from the sale of digital assets or cryptocurrency effective for five years.0 ความคิดเห็น 0 เเชร์ 32 ครั้ง

WWW.PATTAYAMAIL.COMKuwaiti biker gangs keep Pattaya awake all night with roaring engines; some residents forced to move outResidents of Soi Yensabai plead for peace as Kuwaiti bikers rev their engines through the night, disturbing families and forcing some to move out. PATTAYA, Thailand – Local residents of Soi Yensabai in South Pattaya say they’ve had enough after yet another sleepless night caused by a group of Kuwaiti street racers revving their motorcycle engines well into the early morning hours. At around 4:00 AM on August 4, frustrated locals called police to complain about the disruptive group. Witnesses say the young Kuwaiti riders sped up and down the narrow residential street on modified motorbikes and big bikes, repeatedly revving their engines and ignoring the peace of the sleeping neighborhood. Pattaya City Police arrived on the scene and managed to seize a few of the bikes equipped with loud exhaust pipes. However, shortly after officers left, the group returned and resumed their high-speed antics as if nothing had happened — seemingly unbothered by the law. Residents claim this is far from a one-time incident. The same disturbance has reportedly occurred night after night, with no lasting enforcement or effective resolution. Some families have even chosen to move out of the area altogether, unable to tolerate the ongoing noise and chaos. Locals are now calling on authorities to take firm and permanent action to restore peace to their neighborhood, urging Pattaya police to clamp down on the reckless riders before the area’s livability — and tourism image — suffer further. “We don’t feel like anyone’s listening,” one resident told reporters. “They’re back the next night like nothing happened. It’s time something real is done.” Despite police intervention, the Kuwaiti biker gang returned to the streets, revving loud exhausts and showing no fear of the law.0 ความคิดเห็น 0 เเชร์ 34 ครั้ง

THETHAIGER.COMPattaya convenience store clash leaves one injured in love triangle rowPattaya convenience store clash leaves one injured in love triangle rowLegacyIn Pattaya’s Nongprue subdistrict, an altercation occurred outside a convenience store yesterday, August 4, resulting in injuries to one person. The incident was reported at 10.06pm, prompting a swift response from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Unit and Banglamung Police. Upon arrival at Moo 6 in Nongprue, police discovered a scene of disarray with damaged items scattered around. The injured person, identified as 52 year old Sompong, suffered a head wound, abrasions, and bruises. Rescue personnel administered first aid before transporting him to a nearby hospital. The second person involved, 40 year old delivery rider Pirun, remained at the site and cooperated with police. Sompong explained that the conflict arose from his suspicion that Pirun was having an affair with his wife, a matter he had previously pursued legally against Pirun. Although Sompong claimed to have moved on, he alleged that Pirun confronted him with a metal pipe, accusing him of pursuing his wife, which led to the fight. Conversely, Pirun denied any involvement with Sompong’s wife. He recounted that Sompong had previously attacked him with a knife and a sharp stick, causing damage to his motorcycle. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News Pirun stated he had filed a police report, but the case had stalled. On the night of the incident, Pirun approached Sompong at the convenience store to address the unresolved legal matter, which escalated into violence. Pirun strongly refuted any romantic involvement. Given the contradictory accounts, police are approaching both statements with caution. CCTV footage from the scene has been obtained, and a comprehensive investigation will be conducted to ensure justice is served for all parties involved, reported The Pattaya News. In similar news, a deadly dispute over a love triangle in Bangkok resulted in one man’s death and another fleeing from police. In the early hours of August 2, at approximately 2am, a fatal shooting took place outside an apartment on Rama 2 Road. The victim, 38 year old minibus driver Anucha, was shot multiple times and died at the scene. The suspect, 36 year old Sira, who is also a minibus driver, remains at large.

THETHAIGER.COMSwedish tourist arrested for flying drone over Pattaya BeachSwedish tourist arrested for flying drone over Pattaya BeachLegacyIn Pattaya, Thailand, on August 3, at 10pm, Pattaya Special Affairs officers apprehended a 28 year old Swedish tourist for operating a drone over Pattaya Beach without the necessary permission. The tourist, whose name has not been disclosed, was questioned with the help of an interpreter. He explained that he had just arrived in Pattaya and was attempting to capture scenic views of the sea as a personal souvenir. He expressed unawareness of the nationwide ban on drone flights, implemented due to tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border. The officers seized the drone and took the tourist to Pattaya City Police Station for legal action. After being briefed about the applicable regulations and receiving a formal warning, he was allowed to return to his accommodation, reported The Pattaya News. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has imposed a stringent prohibition on the use of all drones throughout the country, effective from July 30 to August 15, or until further notice, to ensure the security and safety of sensitive regions. In similar news, Surin province has recently been dealing with unauthorised drone activity, prompting swift action from local police. The provincial governor authorised the use of firearms to bring down the drones, which were perceived as potential threats. Unusual cone-shaped debris has been recovered for further investigation. On August 3, reports surfaced of unidentified drones flying repeatedly over various parts of Surin, including the border regions and Mueang district, over the course of several days. Residents frequently heard gunfire directed at the aerial objects, and strange debris reportedly fell onto a restaurant in Nok Mueang subdistrict. The restaurant owner later found cone-shaped fragments, roughly 10 centimetres in length and 4 to 5 centimetres wide, scattered in a nearby playground. Military personnel have since collected the fragments for detailed analysis.

THETHAIGER.COMKuwaiti youths’ noisy bikes disrupt South Pattaya neighbourhoodKuwaiti youths’ noisy bikes disrupt South Pattaya neighbourhoodLegacyResidents in South Pattaya’s Soi Yensabai have expressed their frustration over a group of Kuwaiti youths causing disturbances by riding loud motorcycles through the area, often revving their engines late at night. Early yesterday, August 4, at 4am, locals reported that the continuous noise from the modified exhausts kept them awake, prompting them to call Pattaya City Police. The police responded by inspecting the area and confiscating several noisy bikes. However, once the police departed, the group resumed their disruptive activities, seemingly unfazed by the police. This problem has persisted for weeks with no effective resolution, forcing some families to move away, unable to bear the constant noise. Residents are now calling for decisive action to restore peace to their community. Police have promised to increase patrols and enforce stricter measures against illegal exhaust modifications, but locals remain doubtful, seeking a permanent solution to end the nightly disturbances. According to the Pattaya News, thousands of Kuwaiti college students visit Pattaya during their summer break. Although the problem naturally subsides when classes resume, this behaviour has led to multiple accidents, some fatal, alongside conflicts between residents and tourists, escalating tensions in the area. Locals also highlight that the students frequently neglect wearing helmets and often lack the necessary licenses, registration, insurance, and other legal paperwork required for driving. They are known for violating numerous road rules and speeding, adding to the chaos. In mid-July, reported The Pattaya News. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News In similar news, a late-night motorbike accident involving a Kuwaiti tourist spiraled into chaos in South Pattaya after a group of his friends swarmed emergency responders, disrupting rescue efforts. The incident occurred just after midnight on July 15 in Soi VC.

THETHAIGER.COMIndian man claims ladyboys in Pattaya stole his goldIndian man claims ladyboys in Pattaya stole his goldLegacyA late-night stroll turned into a jewellery heist for one Indian man in Pattaya—at least, that’s what he’s telling police. Today, August 5 at 2.36am, 27 year old Indian national and jewellery shop owner Hemanth Kumer filed a theft report with Pattaya City Police, claiming two ladyboys made off with his 150,000-baht gold necklace. According to Kumer, the incident occurred on Soi Beach Road 13/2. He told officers he was walking alone when two scantily clad transgender women approached him offering escort services. Despite his refusal, they reportedly continued to follow and harass him. “They began touching me and hugging me,” Kumer said. The Indian said he managed to walk away and thought little of the incident—until moments later, when he realised the gold necklace around his neck, weighing approximately 40 grammes, was missing. The alleged thieves had vanished. Kumer reported the incident to Police Lieutenant Kriangkrai Kaewphiphop, deputy investigator at Pattaya City Police Station. Officers were immediately dispatched to scour the area, armed with descriptions of the suspects, but no arrests were made by press time. Police Colonel Anek Sarathongyoo, superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, ordered an urgent investigation. Teams were sent to review local CCTV footage and gather witness statements to verify Kumer’s story. However, police say the tourist’s account raised some red flags. “There are inconsistencies in his statement,” said Pol. Lt. Kriangkrai. “We’re investigating all angles. If the report turns out to be false, Kumer could face charges for filing a false complaint.” The Pattaya News reported that at this stage, investigators are treating the case with caution as they attempt to piece together the events of that early morning encounter. Officers are continuing to comb through CCTV footage and question people in the area. The incident adds to the ongoing concerns over late-night scams in Pattaya’s tourist zones, where similar reports have emerged over the years involving pickpocketing by suspects posing as sex workers. Police say they remain committed to uncovering the truth in this case and will pursue legal action against whoever is found responsible—whether it’s the alleged thieves or the complainant himself. The investigation is ongoing. The story Indian man claims ladyboys in Pattaya stole his gold as seen on Thaiger News.0 ความคิดเห็น 0 เเชร์ 7 ครั้ง
