    It's pretty dark going through the tunnel. I switch car lights on for safety. MB's running through there with no lights on is dangerous for all concerned.

    I agree it used to be but found it significantly improved when they upgraded the lighting - I think last year? However I noticed the other day that some of the lights seemed to be failing.

    Example to threats above.  You obviously don't keep up with U.S. sanctions threats.

    India looking to do a specific deal with Iran - not really directly BRICS related is it.......

    Second example has been proven (according to your link) as a fake...... So how long did it take you to come up with those 2 poor examples which don't really support your original hypotheses.......

    What real difference do you think it will make to you if/when they do join?

    An economic and security realignment that will allow BRICS nations to ignore the economic and military threats posed by Western countries which currently make up the G-7 which represents less than 1 billion people on this planet, as well as a loss of relevance of the G-7 nations as well as isolation of countries who are openly hostile to countries in the BRICS alliance.

    And your answer tells us how that affects you personally........?

     

    I was genuinely intrigued as to how you thought it would impact your life.

    just curious as to what people's views are on this, I believe I'm just remitting savings that I've had in a Bank Account since 2004 (only catch is the Balance would only show approx. £500),

    If push came to shove and you were audited (and they didn't do what Mike suggested :biggrin: ) then I suggest that is where the plan would fall over. The additional change to allow savings up to 31/12/24 is already quite "generous".........

    There you can IVR Language and SMS Language to English. If you do that, and you still receive SMS messages in Thai, claiming to come from AIS, then they are always an AIS phishing scam. 

    Not sure that's 100% true. Most of my messages come in English but after buying a specific data pack and after confirmation in English, I get something in Thai,  which I was told was to do with points. Also no link in those messages.

    It’s bad practice to send links in SMS messages and the originators should know better.

    Try telling that to True, Big C and Lazada to name but 3.........(along with AIS)

    B7 is not the standard diesel fuel it is 7% Bio-Diesel.

    What are you calling "standard"? 

    I think we are referring to what gets pumped into most trucks/cars (not agricultural) at most garages and this is as far as I have seen now B7.

    For a while there was a whole bunch of Diesel variants at PTT, B7, B10 and B20 plus the "super stuff". This has been cut back.

    Agreed

    Is this acceptable?

    I doubt anyone can give you a definitive answer. As per Mike's comment above -

    There is no need to provide documentation regarding the source of your funds, in order to file a Thai tax return, only of asked for later.

    So unless or until it happens and potentially depending on the individual Revenue office, it is unlikely that anyone would know. Obviously the better records you have the better chance should it come to pass.

    I accessed the pension forecast page and it reads 221.20, and I looked at my yearly records which total 35. So I guess that answers my query.

    Glad to hear you were able to access it ok.

    I take it you have never been contracted out?

     

    I also presume it did not suggest you needed to make any more contributions to get the headline figure (which is in big bold nos. from memory).

    Damn it.

    They dug up that part of Sai3 for two years.

    yes and in a slightly more challenging editorial than I can find posted on AN it mentions-

    Quote

    The road collapse and sinkhole on Third Road is a wake-up call for Pattaya City to prioritize infrastructure quality and safety over short-term gains. It’s time for city officials to demand accountability from contractors, implement stricter regulations, and invest in robust oversight mechanisms to prevent such disasters from recurring.

    Unfortunately I won't be holding my breath........

    Any reason why all of a sudden today with one browser clicking on my link to aseannow, which was working normally this morning, I am getting this -

    Clicking on news items in the email no issue but I could not get to the forum in general so had to use a different browser to get to this page......

    I am using Quad 9 not Cloudflare for DNS but no issues with other sites.
