  1. Yes - same place/kitchen as rest of menu including some German dishes.
  2. You may well be aware of this already but unless you are filing using commercial software you would (should) file a paper tax return. This is because SA109 which non residents are supposed to file is not available to complete within HMRC's standard online filing. Not sure if property is either? If so you need to make sure it is received by 31st October. https://www.gov.uk/tax-right-retire-abroad-return-to-uk
  3. From my understanding this bill has just been introduced to Parliament so not yet law? Again from what I have read if the tenant does not want to leave you have to apply for a Section 8 which is supposedly harder then the old 21 and can take a longer period of time? Moving all tenancies to become periodic suggests to me you could not have say a specific 6/7/8/9 month set rental period because you want to live in it for the other period. I don't disagree with trying to make things "fairer" but until they sort out the court processes (as planned.....) some of the new legislation moves to far in the tenants favour in my opinion.
  4. Yes I was. So I used ADB to check and could not find that specific issue on mine. Agreed and makes me question the general veracity.......
  5. Well you got that ar*e about face.......... Any more predictions........
  6. You could have read the fuller linked article.........

    Thai beef

    Are you sure? Because to me what they call striploin here is closest to what in the UK, or certainly up to a few years ago, you would call Sirloin. Striploin is definitely not Fillet - certainly not in Big C Extra where I buy Aussie striploin from Jagota regularly currently at 950 or 1,050 baht a kilo. Everything else imported is more expensive.
  8. They do. Reminder received last week from Immigration. This week, after the holiday, 7.40am Monday submission received notification and 17.30 same day confirmation it was done......
  9. The Asus product you looked at is likely to be just a router - not a modem. Generally all the ISP devices are combined modem/routers except I see some ISPs are offering a package where you "bring your own device" (router) and they have just a small modem box connection. You plug your router into their modem with a Cat5e/6/etc cable. You can do this now with the current modem/router. However you may want to read up on double NAT and Access points and whether the current modem/router can be put into bridge mode if that is the way you decide to go.
  10. When in the UK I used to complete online. However not if you complete the SA109, which you are supposed to as a non-resident. It is not available via HMRC online. I don't think the property pages are either?
  11. Not always as in the past I have had some longer delays. However it is also possible you may need to speak to someone on, from memory, the 4th floor - I have had to in the past to sign some form or other before they released the cheque. When it happened to me I went and asked downstairs and they told me where to go. I wasn't aware you could check online so that is a good step forward except it looks like you need to be able to read Thai.......
  12. I am currently in this boat but have been paying only once per year? Hopefully this will not change. This is after they have assessed my paper tax return (too tight to pay for commercial software although seriously considering it ) and they let me know how much I owe.
  13. Sorry but are you suggesting being non-resident makes any difference to Point 2? If so can you please explain - unless it refers to your earlier comment re foregoing the PA which I understand.
  14. Agreed. Pretty much all the reviews, especially the more independent privacy advocates, seemed to rate Mullvad as "probably" the most private of all the mainstream providers if that is of interest to the user.
  15. I would guess the quote is for more than just the compulsory......... Similar to having first/second/third class extra insurance on a car which as somebody earlier pointed out you may want as CTPL only covers up to a certain amount for injury.
  16. Thanks - that's why I was curious. I wish there was one in Pattaya.
  17. Reminds me of the original ISO 9000 standard.........
  18. Unless I am reading the link wrong they are only in Bangkok? Looks like the OP posted in the Chiang Mai forum.............
  19. To get a new tax disk for a bike more than 5 years old you need to have the test done. every year after and get the compulsory insurance. I don't know if big bikes are different but a standard mc will cost you 60 baht for the test (for which you don't get to see any result details and it is pretty basic), 360 baht or so for the insurance and 100 baht for the road tax sticker. If you ask the guys at a cog place to do it for you as suggested there will be a service charge on top.
  20. Yes I am sure. I never played that seriously (using the clock) but the article almost makes it sound like a deliberate foul which I did not realise could happen in chess.
  21. What is a "foul move"? Surely you can only move a piece in the prescribed way and if not replace it and move it properly - or does it not work like that?
  22. I am not sure if it is because English is not your native language but I found much of this post either pretty hilarious or disappointingly sad............. Energy mainly from rough sex........bemused much......
