Ohh dear  I hope the Municipal, military, and ombudsman officials

found some alternative accommodation for the tenants not just turfed them out on the street  otherwise it might have a negative effect on Thailand's image 😋

Did they not know they were being built in the first place??

Common knowledge. something you seem to lack considering your question. I have gone to bars, when I was single, but that is many years ago.

 

So see, there you have your answer. First common knowledge (look it up) and personal experience. Can´t beat that, right?

So you have sinned.

Now it´s only money, and you can´t take it with you. It was you that mentioned it. Why if make it unimportant in your next post? Only that shows how insecure you are, by turning as the wind blows. You know, a funny thing with money, is that you can take them with you and use them until you are dead. So, also there a flaw in your chase for the last straw to hand on to, as I can not read about anybody that died in the OP.

Regarding culture and religion/beliefs. Are you unable to respect that without participate? There is nowhere it stands in any law or regulation, that it´s not allowed to drink during Buddhist holidays. If you look, you will see around 20-30% of all people celebrating the holidays walking and dancing to the temple and drinking at the same time. In fact, there are mostly only 7 Eleven, other franchises as well as mini marts, supermarkets and the restaurant, bar, hotel and entertainment businesses that stop sell, as most of the mom and pop shops in every street will sell to you. And, again! If I buy a box of beer the day before, there are no laws or regulations that say I can not drink during the holidays. Also, not many Thais will even lift and eyebrow or think I am doing something wrong.

Yes, I have done wrong. Not so much in the areas you mentioned, though. However, I have probably skipped the helmet once in a while. There are probably other things as well. However, I find it hard to compare that to be equal with an over 3000 days overstay. That is a person who do not care about anything, not himself, not the people he might live with and not any children if have. I actually feel very sorry for his children is he have any, as they do not deserve such moron as a father.

Now when you know all this, you can take you beliefs and put up you military place very the sun don´t shine. In other word, you can believe what you want, and I don´t care. Now I will take a couple of beers. You will probably think that is wrong but, yet again, can´t care less. I am happy, my wife is happy, my children are happy and their grandparents are happy. The whole big family is happy. The big question: Are YOU happy?

WOW! you're right. You don't have a life,do you!

I'm not sure what's more remarkable the fact that he managed to pull this off for 8 years, or the fact that he most likely never left the country for 8 years. What a lifestyle, boring beyond imagination. One cannot even begin to imagine a life that is that stifling, get out and see the world for God's sake, life is short. 

It says he met a Thai woman in Krapi. I have heard of farangs working as waiters and on farms while overstaying their visas. The average Thai person doesn't usually understand about farangs visa requirement. I can remember a Thai friend asking me how long i had lived in Thailand, I replied 11 years. He said "Oh! You are Thai people now, you can stay forever". I said " no I can't as I can't read and write Thai". He replied "neither can 40% of Thai people ha!"

Hmmm...

Not going to bars. Not driving drunk, and always wear a helmet. Buddhist holidays does not concern me. Have enough money for my visa, so no need any agent.

What more will you come up with, or were you just reflecting your own situation?

I don't believe you have NEVER EVER done anything wrong! I know I have and Man enough to admit it. If you live in Thailand and Buddhist holidays don't concern you, so you reside in a country you don't respect.  Yes, I have the money to pay my way Pensions, civil and military, It's only money, you can't take it with you.

Are you directing that question at the guy who decided he was harmless or at me who took issue with his assessment without knowledge of his background?

 Directed at the guy who stated "Good job, now bye,bye" as if he had never hit on hard times. If from Liverpool, I very much doubt he is with-out sin.

Here we go the Gods Children, condemning everyone while at the same time,. frequenting bars with girls or ladyboys for sale, drinking while drunk (2 beers). riding  without a helmet. Drinking on Buddhist holidays. Paying agents to do their visa. Remember God's Children......Let he who as not sinned, cast the first stone.

That's broadly correct. The UK Personal Allowance will be ignored and replaced by whatever allowance and deductions exist within the Thai system, these will vary from person to person based on age, marital status, etc etc.

I have read that if you are over 65 the threshold is raised to 190,000. The think I can't get my head around is this B30,000. B60,000 allowance. In the UK are taxes are done by the employer or the taxman, most don't understand the tax system.

That 12.500 personal allowance in the uk,  could be a big problem for us brits.

We do not know if Thailand will recognize that allowance or not.

 

They won't as if it is under 12,500 it is not taxable in the UK, The Thai threshold is £3,000 yearly allowance. Convert to Thai Bhat B150,000 no tax. B300,000 5% tax. B300,00- 600,000 10% tax as I understand it!

Poor sod. Looks like some rat ratted him out. 

Cops/Immigration should have better things to occupy themselves with. Minor things like murder, rape, extortion  (sorry, can't really investigate yourselves), etc. 

Totally agree. It is usually the ones on Elite visas or other 5 year visas that are the real threat to society I think that has been proven in the past. drugs, prostitution, call centre scams, luxury villas, cars, bikes. But they are only caught after their own countries issue a warrant for their arrest, and low and behold, the TRP know exactly where to find them! A guy begging food, a little old lady ( who forgot) now a French guy no danger to anyone. They all have one thing in common, NO MONEY FOR THE PAY OFF.

You know the bill hasn't been passed as yet, they say the earliest it may be passed is January 2025/

so now the nightmare begins

 

 

so now they will have access to our home records... big brother... reallyyyy. 

 

double taxation? these matters really need to be cleared up and imho double taxation is just plain wrong... hope tere will be provisions blocking this.

 

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

The Thai revenue website says B150,000 un-taxable and 190,000 for over 56 is un-taxable income. Thai tax office say anything over 120,000 is taxable income. Again lying, cheating and stealing.

I presume yes as the Thai tax rates start at around 3000 GBP. In the UK you would get 12500 GBP tax free so it covers all any state old age pension.

OK. Just thinking if the monthly income for a retirement visa is B65,000 ( some IMO say 67) if that is taxed at 10% (yearly) that would reduce your monthly income by 10% or 25% meaning you don't have sufficient money to live on. Just thinking out load.😜 Ps: It hasn't been passed though as yet.

So far, TRD has done zero to extract baht from Bob in the village, who still doesn't know about any of this.

 

 

What happens if the state pensions from your native country is UNDER the yearly personal  allowance (making it non taxable in your own country) can Thailand still tax it????????

Time to empty my Thai bank accounts

I think your money is safe for now. I was looking at the taxation on LTR visas. So if you need 800,000 in the bank or 67,000 a month income to obtain the LTR, If they tax that at the high rate it turns your 67,000 into 57,000 (aprox) and your 800,000 into 670,000 (aprox) so how can you then apply for a retirement visa as you won't have enough income to survive (immigration Says). ????????????????  Just a thought. I maybe wrong.

Lock her up.

And put him back into jail, real jail.

And don't forget to punish all the people who enabled this charade. 

Wasn't he given a ROYAL PARDON on Sept 1st? The report says  she is suspected of removing CCTV footage". It was a police hospital, so surly the police would have removed it if it was removed. They couldn't get her on her business involvement so try something else. remember...She is the one kicking out all the junta bought representatives.
