It may take a while for that to happen. I think current estimates are in excess of 16 weeks for payments to be allocated - but he may be lucky........ https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-14519849/Pensioner-patient-wait-state-pension-payment.html My payment in May last year was not credited until December and I believe only because I filed an online complaint - but I had been paying for quite a few years so was not a new isolated payment which made the delay even more nonsensical until you factor in the no. of increased submissions due to the changes they made. OP there are some other threads in this specific forum which may be worthwhile reading.

If you know this, presuming you have been here a while, you take the necessary steps to avoid it. It is not rocket science and unless you have to go to work using a baht bus/bike or similar it is avoidable with a little forethought. And for the avoidance of any doubt I also don't participate and try to stay well clear even avoiding coming in to Soi Buakhow last night to pick up a Sunday roast.....

This coming from someone who implied they would put someone in hospital if they got sprayed - very mature.........

Where did you understand that from? So because someone squirts you with water you are saying you will beat them up........ or worse in your case.

Not to the Thai RD which is what's relevant to what is being discussed.

yep. Loads of articles over the years up to this year (which is the one I remembered seeing recently) 2008 - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-524838/Cars-trapped-illegal-driveways-council-fits-bollards-middle-night.html 2018 - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6072897/Council-tells-homeowners-theyre-breaking-law-not-having-right-kind-kerb.html 2021 - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9806911/Homeowners-outraged-council-charges-215-drive-KERB-access-driveways.html 2025 - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14457361/xx.html I had similar to you in my first flat over 40 years ago but also had a bus stop almost directly outside......

It's pretty much irrelevant to the Thai RD. Its only relevant in that you haven't paid any tax on it so in theory you have no tax to set off against a Thai tax charge if you had one from remitting that money.

Last time I went there (which was a while ago) a pipe was disgorging waste or effluent straight into the sea visible on the beach........

If you have read any of the other threads n this subject then you would already know the answer...... MyTello, Localphone, Viber etc

very relevant in the Pattaya forum.........

Was it JSixPack who used to write, for a number of years, a very detailed and accurate primer on Songkran in Pattaya - or another poster?

Where?

My understanding (see bottom link) is that within Teams Free you can only call someone else with Teams so not a landline number. To use up any credit you would have to use the Skype web portal Dial Pad which won't be available until May and then it is not clear how long you have to use up any existing credit. From an email - note nothing about calling any other numbers - landline or mobile. This link covers most of the above including not being able to call landlines from within Teams Free - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/skype-is-retiring-in-may-2025-what-you-need-to-know-2a7d2501-427f-485e-8be0-2068a9f90472

seems fairly explanatory to me - unfortunately it doesn't seem you can test the Skype web portal Dial pad until May...........so that may change by then......

From the other thread - https://aseannow.com/topic/1353194-skype-to-be-shutdown-in-may/page/10/#comments So presume due after the 3rd or not?

Which flies in the face of the current guidance online from HMRC - https://www.gov.uk/deferring-state-pension/what-you-get However I saw another reference https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/pt/219492f5-45f7-ee11-a81c-6045bd0daaec which suggests that left and right hand have no idea what is going on.......so who knows

All customers. This happened nearly 2 years ago. Many threads at the time.

In the overall scheme of things (bearing in mind individual circumstances) this is one of the most ridiculous statements I have seen on a tax thread - and this from someone with a highly elevated post count......(maybe try reading more....)

The original (as far as I know) 99 baht full breakfast many years ago before Simon moved and opened up Retox in Soi Lengkee....(Retox eventually folded during Covid although Lengkee closed before Soi Diana) How much is it now?

Probably the least of any worries I have and it isn't going to make a jot of difference to how I sleep...... No she isn't........

Not sure what you mean by "transfer" in this instance as AIS would not have anything to do with it. Line processes here - https://help.line.me/line/?contentId=20010395&lang=en https://guide.line.me/en/migration/ Thai bank apps you may have to go to branch to change the number you use. I don't know but would it not be easier to get a new SIM from AIS with the original number - presuming that you would also need to buy a new phone?

Well if I hadn't decided to look in General (which I only did as looking for a specific topic) I probably would not have known anything about it. It will be interesting to see if my partner is even aware of it..........

It's all part of the "CRS" process now.......where it is all laid out what the individual FI should try and get but it doesn't mandate you have to have one - yet.........

Any of these places open at 7am to serve an English breakfast? Also need to be able to park a car within 10 minutes walk or so.

Been a number of threads over the years. Obviously if they don't know that you live in Thailand (or another foreign country) then they aren't going to ask.........
