3BB seems to be working OK now, I guess they lied about the 3 weeks.

Same problem with 3BB. rang them this morning and they told me there is a problem with a cable in Europe somewhere.

They told me it could take up to 3 weeks to fix, and if I wanted to stream to use a VPN with Singapore, I asked would they pay for it, he laughed and said no.

He did say he would ask if i could get a refund. I downloaded  Mullvad VPN costs about 200 Baht per month, can only pay monthly.

Works well, also works for BBCiPlayer etc.

I have updated to windows 11 on a couple of computers using a hack, works well. Get the monthly updates, but not the update to 23H2 which I have been informed I will not get.

Has anyone got the update to 23H2 using a hack?

previously i had a company, and instead of disolving it, and paying accountant fees, i sold it to a mate for 3000 baht 

I have been told by my lawyer that it costs 4000 Baht to change the Directors.

My company is still available if anybody wants one. All taxes paid and have all the paperwork to prove it. I'm in Pattaya.

Low price – it equals 1,000 baht per month – an annual audited balance can cost more than that amount, typically around 15,000 baht and up.

I pay, as I have already told you 12,000 baht for a proper audited balance, I have the paperwork to prove it, maybe you should change your lawyer.

so to take over an already registered company that has paid 2M capital, do I in turn have to repay the same amount?

I do not know about this. When I bought the house it was already in a company name, so I just took over the company, I can't remember the cost.

I had 49% and my wife and son who was 4 at the time, shared the other 51%. Maybe you should ask a lawyer.

Expect it to costs from 25,000, baht and up for that service per year, depending of the activity in the company.

I had a house in a company name for about 8 years and only paid 12000 Baht Tax and Service per year, sorted out by my Accountant/Lawyer. I have now sold the house, but still have the company, and just paid the 12,000 Tax/Service for this year. I want to dissolve the company, unless somebody wants it, allegedly it will cost me about 20,000 Baht to do this. I have been advised I should do this in May.

PM me I have a company I need to get rid of.

Just buy a Bluetooth Adapter/Dongle. This one works perfectly for me.

tax details?

Santander did these to me, Even though I use my brothers address. they sussed I lived in Thailand, First they asked for all my Thai details, Thai address Thai bank,  etc. I returned these details, and even though they confirmed by e-mail that they had received them they stopped my account. That meant money can go in but not taken out,??? Using their Chat service on their phone app, they confirmed they were in the wrong, re-opened my account, apologised and gave me 75 pounds.

Since then all correspondence from them has come to my Thai address, which is when they asked for my Tax details. I returned these, but I still don't trust them.

So I  now have all my pensions paid directly into my Thai bank. The rate is OK but not as good as Wise. I have since cleared my Santander account except for 1 penny.

The thing is I never opened a Santander account. I originally had an account with Girobank, taken over by Alliance and Leicester, taken over by Abbey National, taken over by Santander.

Be interesting to see if a new pc is much quicker as my one is quick but it is not able to upgrade to win11

Very good You Tube video on how to upgrade to Windows 11. I have upgraded 3 old computers to Windows 11 using the Rufus method, new installation. I couldn't get the registry method to work.

Could you please tell us the code required to join this league

3BB app does not offer that facility so you either go to 3BB webpage, or do it direct via Bkk Bank.

3BB app, you can use the OR code, accepted by Bangkok bank.

Still had to buy a 2 nd package, total bill was 488 baht

488 Baht 3 Baht per minute means your phone call lasted 2 Hours and 42 minutes??? You are right the numbers i supplied cost 6/7 Baht a minute.

I am only trying to help. They can also be contacted on line for free https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre

Should I be worried ? expected it to be delivered in Wolverhampton by this time ?  or is it only tracked as far as to UK  ??

Telephone them +44 (0) 191 218 7777 I found the best time to call them is after 3 p.m UK time. They are usually very helpful when you get through.

Instead of using the + sign,

If using AIS use 00500

If using DTAC use 00400

If using True use 00600

the service is not currently fit-for-purpose and one way or another we need to let the DWP know. Maybe some people can e-mail the International Pensions Center via

I e-mailed them on June the 18th and got a reply on the 21st, complaining about their use of a foreign post and the delays and upsets it is causing us.

It seems to take on average of 3 to 4 months for things to arrive from them. I also asked for a confirmation letter about how much my pension was, this was their reply.

"I will Send you a confirmation of your state pension amount to your address but can take up to 28 days to arrive. I cant send it via email for security purposes."

For security purposes??? It will probably get lost in the post. I have 2 other pensions where everything is done electronically and quickly. I shall wait until the 28 days are up and will contact them again.

Gruderian is right we need too keep complaining to them until it gets sorted out.

Maybe someone who is a little more articulate than I could contact Mel Stride MP, who I believe is in charge of the DWP.

elfpattaya - you MUST be joking!  All income generated in the UK is taxed at source if you are on private pensions.  

I deleted my Post because I didn't want to be involved in a ping pong about tax.

You can live abroad and still be a UK resident for tax, for example if you visit the UK for more than 183 days in a tax year.
