The same bunch. See the Elite Visa is getting the foreigners Thailand wanted . ha!

You may find they are sandals. But at least they are going for REAL criminals and not just 70-year-old who have overstayed for 5 days.

According to the report he has been arrested many times. maybe he pays a big fine and they let him go. Thai with no helmet get stopped once at the 3 monthly check point (Tea stop)

Not talking about written grammar, just verbal communication. With today's technology, most written correspondence is done by computer which has the ability to correct their grammar. If they are (like they said) going to supply all students with tablets. Plus English is spoken in many different accents, so why not introduce students to them early. What you're saying is, they can't do it so don't try it!

Loose is and adjective. lose is a verb. Plus, i suspect you are referring to grammar. Any English teacher will tell you that the insistence of the Thai schools in speaking perfect grammatical English when conversing is what stops students developing their English skills. Teach English for communication purposes. English is the easiest language in the world, because it is the only language that can be spoken incorrectly yet can still be understood. Communication! Not perfection!

Maybe that's why he was so distressed. He saw the PM shaking hands with Putin and thought Thailand may now repatriate all Russians of fighting age. Ha!

Your Heros the Army shot, murder unarmed civilians and nurses with NO ONE being held accountable. You sound like a Hamasa supporter.

Because he knows Thaksin's policies worked for the poor population of Thailand. Apart from the B10,000 payout (which he is now back tracking on) nearly every policy he has reinstated were Thaksin policies, before the army allowed him to leave with HIS money. After which the rich got richer the vendors got orders to close. The farmers were priced out of farming. (I know because my mother-in-law lost access to the land) the B300 health cap was removed, and foreigners' health insurance was restricted to Thai companies (now it's back to how it was) I would rather have Thaksin's way before the corrupt military way.

Guy stabbed in the back and neck, another guy stabbed in the stomach. The guy with the neck wound may not make it.

Somebody wants him out of the way. RTP extort money out of Go-Go bars and sent to and inactive post for 2 years. ( Mr Joke) Borrow a car for 2 years, get 50 years.

OK, But how would that help with renewing a marriage or retirement yearly visa. Plus, if you are on 40,000 a month, that is 480.000 a year less 10% tax = 432,000, that is a deduction of 48,000 for the year. = 4,000 a month= 1,000 a week=142 a day. Is it really that big a loss?

No, I said state pensions MAYBE exempt. If they are taxed, they should be taxed at Thailand's tax rate which is under 150,000 0% tax. over 150,000 up to 300,000 is 5%. 300,000 to 500,000 is 10%. 500.000 to 750,000 is 15%., and so on.

Correct, but under the double taxation treaty between the UK and Thailand Expats residing/living in Thailand can be taxed on income from the UK. State pensions maybe exempt, but private, company, disability can be taxed at 25% State pensions should be taxed at the countries tax rate, which in Thailand is 5% of any income over 150,000 per year.

From what the UK pensions office is saying..... You are quite safe having your state pension transferred into a Thai bank from the UK or their overseas banking agency. It is any other personal pensions such as Company, private, disability pensions that can be taxed at 25%. Thailand has the right to tax state pensions (which you can claim back) But as far as they know State pension are not on the agenda, as yet!

I think/ know Thai banks would/will quite willingly give the government/tax office details of foreigner's bank accounts if asked for. Plus the banks charge for transfers this gives them the perfect reason to charge if they are required to collecting taxes. As far as I know UK pensions are not paid via a UK bank, but from an overseas government bank. I maybe wrong.

If he was working as a street vender, maybe a jealous competitor grassed him up.

I would say not. Soldier kills 30 and police officer kill KG children, a 14-year-old THAI teenager. kills 2 tourists and wounds several Thais. But the police arrest a FOREIGNER for illegal gun possession. Plus I was only reading yesterday on FB an advertisement selling guns in Thailand. Didn't say if deactivated or not. The 14-year-old killed using a deactivated weapon that had been reactivated. Blame the FOREIGNER TIME AGAIN.

If hamas do what they usually do, they will place the hostages in buildings and fire rockets and/or sniper attacks and leave knowing the Israelis will hit it killing the hostages then take the world press to take photos of what the barbaric Israelis have done.

I have heard so many bad things happening to foreigners in Phuket and Koh Samui that I can't understand why people go there.

I wouldn't put it past to be a joke involved in this ha!

They are working there, most of them.

Thats what true vision told me over the phone, yet they are still sending messages that i owe B300, which I don't. I only have the PL package and that is paid for in full for the year. Customer service will tell you anything to get rid of you.

Could be an insurance scam or a fund me account upcoming?????? Ha!

After reading the article, it seems to me the only thing she asked for was the money for her father's surgery, everything else he offered or just provided. How is that theft or fraud? He paid her for a service, and she provided the service.

Yes, but they will be gone in 4 years, with most of the treasury in their personal accounts and a very good excuse as to why.
