Blood Tests for colon cancer are considered unreliable at this stage and may give rise to false positives. T...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

Of course WE can, but this will be passed on to the entire nation. Not all are as fortunate as us. There is no doubt a Baht here and a Baht there is taking effect. I remember when street food was 20฿ - do don't get much for 20฿ any more unless you are travelling on a train. I bought a couple of hal...

Re: Major Economic Issues For Thailand

And of courase this data comes from outside of Thailand. If you haven't already done so, worth reading is Chartchai Parasuk's article in the BP yesterday, about these non performing loans and the current and future risk to the Thai economy - it's not rosy! https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinio...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Seems as clear as mud to me but going by what the "experts" say in the linked BP article, it appears to me that they're going after Thais who have a foreign income. If the new rules only apply to the three income areas mentioned, I don't see that those of us living here on annual extensio...
