I have used Skype on my desktop several times fairly recently (but to the UK) and not had that issue. I had the issue in the past when I was using a vpn to the UK at the same time....

Sorry not sure exactly what you are asking but some details here - https://fr.april-international.com/sites/france/files/2022-12/MyHealth International_Brochure_2023.pdf Start at page 5

How - using AA Insure brokers and paying and communicating direct to April International in France - premium could have been in Euros or USD. How much more expensive........ will obviously depend on which cover you take out (more than one plan), what options and deductibles if any, your own medical history......and most importantly your age. If it helps these comparisons are from 2021 when I looked at changing my provider so are quite a bit out of date. Fairly easy I would have thought if you really want to get in touch and request updated information..... Although I would say thanks to AA Insure for facilitating my initial search the responsibility still lies with the individual to read all of the small print on the various Ts and Cs. In fact no need to use a broker if you feel so disinclined ............ 2021 10 Comparison top AA Health Plans Int 130121.pdf2021 10 Comparison top AA Thai Health Plans 100321.pdf

Not true in my case - April International and definitely not April Thailand. A friend is with Cigna UK, definitely not Thailand, and a previous poster ( @jerrymahoney ) appears to have been with UK via Belgium..... AA Insure, the brokers, last time I asked, had 2 comparitive spreadsheets of insurer details with one sheet quoting International based and one Thailand based. Both sheets contained April, Luma and others with different levels of cover and premiums. Other posters on here in the past have expressly suggested taking out insurance with an International based plan for several reasons. One of which is that they tend to offer cover until you stop paying whereas some Thai based stop at 70,75 or whatever.

It is a little more nuanced than that. Many threads talking about "International" based insurers including Cigna, April International, Passport Card, Allianz and others who also have Thai based schemes. You just pay the premium to them directly rather than to the broker.generally.

Did you ask?

For you, and most of us, no. But for those of limited means I can see how it may.

I don't know it's the best place but Tukcom on the I think 3rd? floor has a couple of outlets to compare most brands including Jib who have a reasonable selection around that price and you can check online first - https://www.jib.co.th/web/ I bought an Asus Vivobook with decent spec around that price 14 months ago and been very happy with it. Wattana on Pattaya Central road opposite Foodland sometimes has some good deals but generally I find them a little more expensive. Also have a look online at https://www.invadeit.co.th/ which gets good ratings on here from other posters.

For me started again late Friday night with one times just before 11pm and then the normal lunchtime one yesterday. No Sunday one of course as they stopped that a while back. Will see what happens tomorrow.......

Possible meanings here - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/reckon To think or conclude etc. Certainly more likely then the reason you suggested don't you think?

Probably the one thing that resonated for me in the "story"... Except it would not be a surprise to me as I have always missed it.

Thanks for nothing and have a great life

Gathered from the previous day.........I think not From the article - The important word probably is "reckoned"........

Sorry was not disagreeing with you but more pointing out to @ThailandRyan who you had replied to and others but could not work out how to get a nested quote.........

That has been a fairly standard clause in Annual Travel Insurance policies for over 20 years - although from memory was one trip rather than country. Again, from memory, some had longer trip durations but with a much higher premium. For the poster who asked who took out travel insurance for trips in the 90s - I always did, without exception. You would also have thought that anybody buying any insurance, or getting it as an add on for free, would read the Ts and Cs to make sure they were properly covered but what do I know

Which said what?

A simpler argument is what about how it was compared to 2021 or even a year ago in February 2022 when I exchanged at 32 something.....(annoyed with myself). So compared to then you are still ahead. This is not specific to the poster I am replying to. I understand people like to whinge when it is not in their interest but at least look at the whole view as @nigelforbes has tried to highlight.

As mentioned in one of the earlier posts and presuming you are still a UK citizen - if not then gets too complicated for me......... Are you registered with HMRC as non resident for tax? If yes then any income generated in the UK above the Personal Allowance and any extra current tax allowances is taxable. Capital gains from selling shares above the price you paid are not taxable as a non resident but capital gains from physical property are. In theory you also need to file the non resident part of the tax return which currently cannot be done free online - either paper return or paid for approved software. I have read some posters in the past who stated that if you give up your personal allowance you are not liable for tax on share income but I am not sure exactly how that works and you would need to be taking a big slug of income to make it worthwhile if it was an option. @nigelforbes any comments/corrections to the above?

One would expect it in many countries. However here probably best to read the relevant Ts and Cs to avoid the disappointment expressed thus far - https://www.scb.co.th/content/dam/scb/personal-banking/terms-conditions/deposits/ez-savings-account/tc-ez-savings-account-en.pdf Point 4 - So I doubt they consider it "sneaky".........

I and a couple of friends have this box. One of them has issues with the lan port but the wi fi works fine. My box no issues on the lan. However in reviews on one site I read some posters thought they had 1000Mbps lan connection but in fact was only 100 so worth checking when you get it.........

Glad it is not just me.......... A little surprised however that it has not been questioned by more posters

Apologies as just seen this. Normally I receive 2 newsletters per day but the lunchtime/early afternoon one was missing yesterday and none at all today. Is there still an issue or have I been singled out in some way - since not noticing any other reports?

It has been mentioned and discussed in pretty much any thread about Thai/home country taxation for at least the last 10 years that I have been aware of.

Did you actually read the linked article as I notice you left out the second part of the headline..............

I know it was inactive and then back up but Troypoint seems to have a completely different url for the source to what I remember for the build - have you changed it recently? (I don't use the build anymore so cannot check). https://troypoint.com/diggz-xenon-kodi-build/ http://diggz1.me/diggz19/
